Use Leopard with my TWO MAC's?

I have two MAC's - a desktop for home and a notebook for travel. I have the same OS X (10.4.11) on both now. I'm not familiar (yet) with OS X 10.5, but can I buy one copy and install it on both of my MAC's?

Robert,
The EULA for the Leopard 10.5 Retail Package states that it is for one machine only. If you are looking to use Leopard on more than one machine, please consider purchasing the Leopard 10.5 Retail Family Package.
Thanks
Chris

  • Hi. I just downloaded "angry birds" from the iTunes store. It says it was successfully downloaded and that I can use it on the two mac products I have. I can see an icon for it in the finder on the mac, but I can't figure out how to play the game. Anyone?

    Thank you for your reply. After a lot of fruitless searches, I hit on a page that offered the same wisdom you did. I feel like rather a fool for not knowing that. Grr. I really appreciate your answer, and that you didn't end it with "dummy." Cheers to you. Hope someone does something kind for you today.

  • Is it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad With the same email address? I Will Google to china next month And i would like to communicate With my kids.

    IS it possible to use FaceTime With my two IPad That has the same address? I Will Go to China soon And i would like to discuss With my kids from there i.e. One IPad in China And one in Montréal.

    No, this is not possible.  It would be like dialing your own phone number.  You must verify an additional new email address for your second iPad.  See the following link which will tell you how to do this.  You will need to add this new address to Facetime app in one of your iPads.

  • Using iSync to sync two macs

    Is it possible to use iSync to sync two macs?
    I use a PowerBook and a Mac Mini and it would be handy if address contacts and calendars could by synced easily.
    I would rather not get a .mac account.
    Surely another mac should show up when you click 'add device' in iSync?

    In addition to the information Julian provided, you can use commercial software as an alternative to .Mac for some synchronization purposes.
    SyncTogether from Mark/Space will synchronize five of the six .Mac data categories across user accounts on a single machine, across users on a local area network, and across the internet. Keychain synchronization is not supported.
    BusySync from BusyMac provides local area network only synchronization and sharing of otherwise read-only iCal calendars.
    You can also investigate such products as SpanningSync for synchronization of iCal calendars using Google, and Plaxo, which offers contact, event and tasks synchronization—in a not quite ready for prime time beta release—for the Address Book and iCal.

  • Using Caching Server with Only Two Macs?

    I'm currently running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) on both of my Macs (2008 MB and 2010 MBP).  We have a limited Internet download allotment, so I am trying to find ways to reduce the number OS X system update downloads.  Someone suggested that I take a look at OS X Server, because it has a Caching Server, which would download the update once and install from a local location when other Macs updated. 
    Given that I only have two (2) Macs, and one of those would have OS X Server, would that work for me? 
    Or would the fact that one of my Macs would be running OS X Server make the updates to it incompatible for my other Mac?  If that was a problem, would installing OS X Server on both Macs, but only running the Caching Server on one of them resolve the issue?
    I don't need OS X Server for anything else.
    Thanks!

    We have a NetGear router/firewall between the ISP's satellite modem and our computers (my DH's two MS Windows PCs & my two Macs).  All of our computers are connected to the network via ethernet cable (wireless network disabled). 
    My Macs are both network configured with:
         Configure iPv4: Using DHCP
         Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
         Router:     192.168.1.1
         DNS Server:     192.168.1.1
    MP IP address: 192.168.1.6
    MBP IP address: 192.168.1.2
    But, I don't know whether those are static or not.  I tried switching my Macs' cable ports on the router, but that did not change the IP addresses.  I realize that didn't prove anything, though it would have if the IP addresses had changed.
    I used to be able to download updates from an Apple support web page, but things are not so simple anymore.  I had a discussion about this a while back at in the Safari Community.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/26456050?ac_cid=op123456#26456050
    Aside from the suggestion to install OS X Server, a couple suggestions were made for manually downloading or copying a package:
    Download a log from an arcane URL; try to find the appropriate update in that log; download the update using the URL in the log file.  I can readily see a couple downfalls in this scenario:
    The arcane URL could be changed, so that I would no longer know its location.
    I could easily select the wrong update from that log file.
    Do the update on one Mac, watching folder /Library/Updates to copy the downloaded package.  However, that package would automatically be deleted by the system, so I would have to be able to do the copy prior to its removal.  I'm not clear as to how this would work, given that the download and installation are automatically performed, and I have no indication as to when the former ends and the latter starts.
    In either case, the downloaded packages would not make any suitability checks, so I could easily mess up a system (though it would probably not be likely if I keep my Macs OS synchronized).  Still a trashed system can be a headache even with good backups, due to the time it would take to restore a system.  That's why I considered going the OS X Server route, but I know about zilch when it comes to networking.

  • Re: using windows 7 in two Macs  I have a Mac book Pro with parallels and windows 7 installed but I left my windows 7 dvd in Dubai and I am in NY. If I want to migrate windows 7 to my I mac, will I need the code or key to enter?

    I have two Macs and one windows but I left the disk along with the key code in Dubai. If I want to use windows 7 on bootcamp on my other mac, and do a migrate, will I have to use the key code at some point?
    if do do I have to buy a new windows 7?

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • How do I  set up printer network with my two macs?

    I tried to find an answer to this "newbie" question but didn't seem to find exactly what I am needed to know.
    We have a desk top Mac G5 (Tiger) that belongs to my partner (lets call that Jim's Computer) which is connected to an HP 6310 printer via USB. I have a new Macbook (Leopard) that I use exclusively with the Airport terminal. I need to be able to click print on the laptop what ever office I am in, and go to the main office and get my page off the printer. Both computers are on the same connection, the airport is a branch off the main hub.
    We have set both computers to "share printers" on all accounts. My Macbook sees "Jim's Computer" and will subset it so I can actually see all three user files on his computer (Jim, mrbarth, B&B guest). I can easily access my folders and files in my accounts from computer to computer via Airport this way. I can not, however, use the printer function. I also need to point out that his computer is password protected for his account(Master) but I have access to both my account and guest account files if this makes any difference.
    Here is how I have both computers set up. Please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I need to add to make this work.
    On the main Desktop (w/printer attached) I have the printer Info which states its location at "Jim's Computer", its host name with a "lot of numbers plus our Internet service provider's CC.shawcable.net". It is set on the master and other accounts to share printer. On my laptop I have (under options and supplies) Location "Jim's computer" and host name "localhost". I also have the printer configuration to share on my Macbook.
    Do I need to somehow change the location of my Macbook configuration to read something like: "Jim's computer/mrbarth" or "Jim's computer.mrbarth"?
    Sorry for not understanding this. I am sure it is very easy and I just have one thing in the chain wrong. I am still a newbie on this even though I have been at the keyboards for over 10 years.

    First, you need to try logging into his admin account and trying to print. If that works then most likely there's something he must configure for the account you normally log into on his computer to allow a remote user to print.
    Second, consult the printer's manual to ascertain what if anything may require configuration to allow wireless printing. It's also likely that if you cannot print wirelessly that it's a problem with the printer driver that was selected when you added the shared printer. If there's a GutenPrint driver for you printer model try using it instead of the manufacturer's proprietary driver. If you don't have these drivers installed you can install them from your OS X Installer Disc's Optional Installs installer or you can download them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Usually troubleshooting this type of issue requires starting from the basics. First be sure you can print when the printer is connected directly to your computer. Then check to be sure you can print with the printer shared from the other computer without any sort of imposed protections, firewalls, etc. Since this is a USB printer be sure you enable Printer Sharing on the computer to which the printer is connected. File Sharing is not a requirement for printing, but Printer Sharing is. Once you determine things are working with the most basic setup, you can start adding in each piece to the final setup checking along the way until either everything works or you find where it stops working. You can then start troubleshooting that issue.

  • Is it possible to use iSight with Messenger for Mac?

    I have been racking my brain on how to get iSight to work with my friends on Window messenger. The video option is not available. I've had my macbook for 2 months now and, after working/giving up and going back again cannot seem to get it to jive. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, flowerlove
    The answer here will depend on the specifics of what you want to do.
    Both Microsoft Messenger for Mac and the older MSN Messenger for Mac are text only apps. You can not use iSight with either. Please let us know if you mean some different "Messenger" software.
    This Windows Messenger does not appear to offer video, even for PCs. If this is the application your friends are using, no video work with it.
    For a built-in iSight video connection with PC contacts who only connect via Windows Live Messenger or other clients of the MSN Messenger server, you can select from these alternatives:
    (1) Because your MacBook can use Boot Camp or Parallels to run Windows XP software on your MacBook, you can choose which method you want to use, add the required software (if you have not already done so), and then install and use the same Windows instant messenger application that your contacts are using to do video.
    (2) and (3) In addition to Niel's good "aMSN" suggestion, you can also try Mercury Messenger for Mac. Either can work with OS X for video and text chat. They offer the same features, but neither offers audio connections.  Use whichever one of these two you find more reliable or easiest to use if you do not want to add Windows XP to your iNtel Mac,.

  • Cannot use File Sharing Between Two Macs Running tiger

    I have a G3 Desktop and a Platinum powerbook connected wirelessly using an Airport Extreme. I used to be able to easily share files between the two Macs but since upgrading to Tiger on both machines and loading the latest software upgrades and Airport firmware, running Disk Utility, setting preferences to turn on AppleTalk and file sharing, file sharing does not work. It worked one time after downloading the new Airport firmware but now I cannot find the other computer on the Airport network. There are only two computers on the Airport network. Does anybody have any ideas?

    Problem solved by reading the reply to dkolenda's post earlier today. I turned off UDP traffic blocking inthe firewall settings and now both computers can see each other and share files.
    Thanks!

  • Using JNLP with Netbeans on Mac OSX

    I am trying to get an idea on JNLP by running locally from folder before I start using it with web server. Therefore its a new-bie question. I have a jar file in "netbeansProjectFolder/dist" folder along with library folders. I created a jnlp file in netbeansProjectFolder. The file contains the following code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="file://Users/myName/Desktop/netbeansProjectFolder">
    <information>
    <title>JNLP test</title>
    <vendor>me</vendor>
    <homepage href="www.web.com" />
    <description>Demonstration of JNLP</description>
    </information>
    <offline-allowed/>
    <security>
    <j2ee-application-client-permissions/>
    </security>
    <resources>
    <j2se version="1.2+" />
    <jar href="file://dist/myJNLP.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <application-desc main-class="MyFrame"/>
    </jnlp>
    I am trying to run it locally but cannot find resources. I think there is no problem with location, is there any other issues I have to worry about? By the way, jar runs independently without any problem. Thanks in advance.

    Note that the jar href should be a path
    that is relative to the codebase.
    I also noted that your JNLP element has
    a codebase but no href for the JNLP itself.
    I suggest
    a) changing it along these lines
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <jnlp
      spec="1.0+"  
      codebase="file://"
      href="Users/myName/Desktop/netbeansProjectFolder/LAUNCHFILE.jnlp" >
    <j2se version="1.2+" />
    <!-- remove the codebase from the jar ref -->
    <jar href="dist/myJNLP.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <application-desc main-class="MyFrame"/>
    </jnlp>b) Validating the result aginst the DTD.

  • Can I use headphones with the two adapter plugs on a Mac Pro

    I have headphones with two plugs.  I don't know where to plug them in. There are two portsin the back and before I open this package I need to know if those are the appropriate ports, since they are the only two side by side ports on the tower.  I have another set of headphones that have the two plugs, but upon trying them, there was no sound regardless of how i adjusted things in the 'sound' in system preferences.
    Help with this is greatly appreciated.

    I'm guessing that the headset has a microphone as well as earphones, yes? If so, there is no microphone input on your Mac Pro, only a line level input. So you can use the headphones portion as is, but the mic will require additional hardware.
    The ports will be designated in the user guide for your model of Mac Pro:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macpro
    but if you look at the various ports on the back of the MP carefully, you'll find one marked with a tiny "speaker" icon. That's the line-level output to which you can connect some headphones. The other port is a line-level input. If you want to use a microphone, you'll need either a line-level mic or an amplifier device of some sort. Griffin's iMic is a commonly-recommended converter.
    Regards.

  • I use iMac OS 10.6.8 (uptodate Snow Leopard) with Firefox for Mac 23.0.1. Online and at other times, my number pad doesn't work. Is there a 'Num Loc/unloc' on the keyboard?

    On line or otherwise, my number keypad doesn't work, then I get a 'freeze.' Number keypad works durning sign in.
    I use Mac keyboard (original equipment).

    Hi, sometimes Shift+clear works as numlock.
    Also open System Preferences>Universal Access>Keyboard tab, & see if Sticly keys is on.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Using Leopard with OS X Server 10.1

    Quickly, we have two servers, a Tiger Server and a Puma(10.1) server. The Leopard machines connect and work normally with the Tiger server. however, performance on the Puma Server has been horrible. Does anyone know if this is common? We'll upgrade if need be, but it's just file server. Thanks
    Tom

    A 10.6 server joined for several years huh? How long has it really been joined? Even if you installed 10.6 server on the day it was released, then it would be 1.5 years ago. But I digress.
    A common issue is time. Which network time server is the Mac configured to talk to? You should be using the DC or a mutually agreed upon server, preferably one within your environment.
    If the time skew on the OS X server exceeds 5 minutes compared to the DC, you will not be able to talk to the domain. Check your time first. Once setting the time server to point to the DC, then use ntpq -p to check and ensure you are getting a time packet. You may also want to stop and start time sync (in Date & Time preferences) to force a new time negotiation.
    Next, you can certainly try to unbind and bind. If you do, make a note of the day in which you performed the bind. Then watch the machine in 14 days to see if it falls out of trust. This is the -passinterval setting of the AD plugin on the server. You may need to set this to a really high number or set it to 0 to stop machine record password randomization.

  • Has anyone experience any problems using Leopard on a Power Mac G5?

    Judging from the posts I see on here it seems that most Leopard problems are with iMacs and laptops. I have a Power Mac G5 and I haven't yet had any major problems. Has anyone else using a Power Mac G5 had any issues that I should watch out for?

    I installed Leopard this weekend on a 2x2 G5, and I have problems serious problems. The first is that Leopard is not compatible with Apple's iPhoto version 2.x, but Apple did not publish this information.
    Secondly, and more seriously, now I cannot even power up the computer. Only two hours ago I was working with an Apple tech rep over the phone to debug the iPhoto problem. We deleted some iPhoto files and did some unusual reboots. A Now I can not power up the CPU. The power light is flashing, and I cannot restart the pram.
    I have been on hold with apple support for over an hour. Watch out for their voice activate phone system, it will desktop users to the laptop group even though I said "desktop".

  • Using Teleport with 3 x Mac's?

    I have 3 mac's - Macbook Pro (Leopard) Mac Pro (Leopard) and G5 (Tiger)
    I have Teleport installed on all 3 as I would like my one Keys/mouse to access them all.
    But im having real trouble setting them up?
    I have them all connected via a network cable(s) to a Netgear Router - I even have the 192.168.x.x passwords for each.
    When I set up Teleport, all 3 mac's appear on each of the mac's im working on, so i arrange them in order then try the security settings - but how do I add each mac??
    On the MBP all 3 show up but the Mac Pro (from the MBP screen) has a cross in its screen Icon?? I just want to set this up and save it so its always avaiable to work?
    All I get with each is "Connection to XXX G5 failed"?
    Anyone else using this?? as there are no install instructions that i can follow?

    Hi, sorry, no experience with it, but are you using Static IPs?
    If it requires signing into the other Macs like File Sharing does, are you using say the G5 Mac's username & G5's password from the MBP, or the MBP's?
