Using MYST Successfully with Leopard 10.5.2)

Greetings.
I am considering buying Myst for the first time, but have read of the many difficulties using Myst with Leopard 10.5.2 (or with any version of Leopard, for that matter).
Is it possible to have success using Myst with Leopard? If so, would any of you be so kind as to share with me the details? I haven't a clue where to start.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I've tried several times, and I can't get it to work...
I also tried installing the updates and it still doesn't work...
This is one reason why I have a problem with mac when it updates its OS...
Prior to upgrading from Tiger to Leopard, Myst IV worked fine.
Now, It doesn't work at all. Mac should invest more in new technologies while keeping backwards compatibility...
I wouldn't buy it if I were you...

  • Can I use InDesign CS with Leopard?

    Is anyone successfully using InDesign CS with Leopard?

    Hi Tim
    I came across the very useful blog recently:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/indesignchannel/2007/11/indesignleopard_updateiii.html
    by Tim Cole which may help to explain the problem you (like me!) are having. If you can't be bothered to read it all then the gist is that this is an Apple problem which they know about and are trying to fix (no date for release as yet). It relates specifically to IDCS3 and Leopard, in particular the linking of files that is unique to ID as opposed to the other Adobe programs (other CS3 programs are unaffected I think). For me the only workable solution has been to trash the ID preferences file which can be a nuisance (as you have reset prefs afterwards) but it has enabled me to continue using IDCS3. The problem appears to affect those using PowerPC more than Intel machines. For those having problems with CS and CS2 you should be aware that Adobe have no plans to make these versions compatible with Leopard; not now, not ever! Check the Adobe site for a list of compatible software (yes, IDCS3 is listed but as mentioned this is not an Adobe problem). Why Apple have not made an announcement about this is quite beyond me.
    Hope this is useful.

  • Using Server Admin with Leopard 10.5 (not the server version)

    I have recently downloaded the Server Admin and would like to use the xgrid function. I am running Leopard 10.5 (not the server version). Is it possible to set up a server functions to use just xgrid with Server Admin and the Leopard 10.5 non server version system software. I want to set up a really small computer cluster between my macbook and imac. My problem is that I cannot seem to get a server started so I can select which functions I want to turn on (such as the xgrid). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I tried several options from the link you suggested, by the xgrid lite seems to be for 10.4 Tiger. I have not been able to make it work for Leopard. Any suggestions?

  • Using a Scanner with Leopard

    Hi all,
    I used to use a Canon app to access my Scanner however after changing to Leopard I'm no longer able to do this, can anyone recommend an application that will allow me to use my Scanner?

    I was so upset to read my trusty Canon N1220U Scanner was Not Supported? Jeeze! You mean I have to go spend another fortune on new Scanner? Well I just fired up trusty old VueScan I d/led from Versiontracker and Bless my stars and garters!! It works Great!! Way better than the old Cannon Software as you don't need Photoshop or anything, Its a stand alone program and Its actually pretty robust and automatic as well. I pressed a few buttons It automatically calibrated the unit with no intervention and then scanned my Holiday Letter so we can send out 70 copies No Problem! Good News Folks..
    Happy Holidays to All

  • Problems connectig using WPA Enterprise with Leopard

    I updated my software yesterday, but today i could not log on to the network at my university. There were no problems with the Windows XP pcs I tested. It wonder if it might have something to do with the password reseting itself - when I enter the network preferences screen the password section is blank even if I ask Leopard to remember it.
    It seems to accept my password and shows signal strength varying from between two points and full strength, but is listed as disconnected by network diagnostics.
    If any of you have experienced similar problems any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you are using WPA Enterprise to connect, it's likely that you did so using 802.1X under Mac OS X 10.4 before installing Leopard. This mechanism has changed in Mac OS X 10.5 and it is clearly not performing as expected, and causing serious problems for enterprise and higher education users.
    Insert the string <802.1X> in the Search Box in the upper right corner, and you'll see a number of posts about this issue by academic computing staff personnel, who are working cooperatively to identify the issues involved, and find workarounds until the matter can be addressed by Apple.
    I suggest also that you contact an AppleCare representative at (800) APL CARE and initiate a case. Be prepared for very long wait on hold times, possibly 45 minutes or more. They are flooded with requests, but it's important that additional pressure be placed on them to escalate these reported cases for resolution.

  • Odd Issue when using Firewire drive with Leopard-Locks up Dock, etc.

    I have an odd issue that has developed on my MBP using OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. It only appears to occur when I plug in my External Firewire Lacie Rugged Hard Drive. I only use that Hard Drive approximately once a week when doing a complete mirror backup of my MBP's Hard Drive using SuperDuper. As far as I can tell the issue occurs only once the Hard Drive is plugged in, not because of SuperDuper or the Backup.
    Here is the issue: For some reason within a minute of plugging in my hard drive my Dock doesn't work. It scrolls when I put the mouse pointer down to the Dock but it won't open up any icons I click on. It's just like it doesn't recognize the left mouse button. Also, I am unable to select any menus at the top of the screen. I can left click on them and even right click on an icon such as Macintosh HD on the desktop and there is no response. I am able to drag Windows across my desktop though but it seems overall that my keyboard becomes inactive. For example in a open Numbers spreadsheet I am able to use the left mouse button (so it works then) to select a textbox and get the blinking cursor but yet if I type and use even the delete key there is no response. Even after I'm done with the Hard Drive if I drag the Lacie to the trash to eject it won't eject. The only way to eject it is simply pull the Firewire cable out.
    I had a few issues with my system earlier and found out I had some bad memory. The memory was replaced and the problems went away. I am worried I had some corrupted files from that time but what puzzles me is I have used my laptop for weeks with no problems. It is only while I plug in this hard drive. In a worse case if I can't figure out how to fix it I feel I'll have to do a complete format and reinstall Leopard and I don't want to have to do that. This only occurs when I do the backup but can be a pain. Any ideas if I can fix this?

    Erase and reformat the ext HD. Then, redo the SuperDuper! backup.

  • Outlook 2013 is not publishing calendar to webdav using settings successful with Outlook 2010

    I am successfully publishing availability data (an ics file) to a webdav server, using Outlook 2010. The format of the URL is https://[domain]/public_html/calendar/
    When I use the same URL in Outlook 2013, it returns the message "Contacting web server" and then "The upload to 'Calendar' failed. Failed to sign in."
    Of course, there's no sign in dialog box provided. So, I change the URL to the format https://[login name]:[password]@URL/public_html/calendar/
    There is no "Contacting web server". Instead, Outlook goes directly to the error message "The upload of 'Calendar' failed. The calendar was not published because the connection to the server failed. Make sure your computer has a network connection
    and that you typed the correct Web address."
    There's nothing wrong with the connection; I've tried this and its failed many times. So, I conclude that Outlook 2013 doesn't like a web address that includes the login credentials.
    What changed with Outlook 2013 that prevents it from publishing to the same location successfully published to, by Outlook 2010?

    This problem continues, and it's a showstopper.  Honestly, this is so easy to reproduce and so fundamental that I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't done anything with it.  Tony Chen, your answer isn't really an answer
    at all.  Why mark it as an answer? 
    Here are the specifics.  I have Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4667.1000) MSO (15.0.4667.1001) 32 bit (part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013).
    In my calendar, I select "Publish Online > Publish to WebDAV Server".  I then have a dialog box that requires that I enter the publishing location URL.
    I enter a URL (which is my company's internal WebDAV server URL), in the same form as the example given:
        https://mycompany.com/calendars/
    and then I click "Advanced".  I select "Automatic Uploads: Upload updates periodically", with the Update Frequency checkbox checked (to select the server's recommended settings).  I click "OK", and my calendar is published
    periodically to the WebDAV server, as expected.
    If I monitor traffic with fiddler, I can see that outlook periodically does a PROPFIND and then PUT of my ical data to https://mycompany.com/calendars/myfile.ics.
    Next, suppose I want to change the publish settings in some way.  So in my calendar, I select "Publish Online > Change Publishing Options".
    Now, the "Location" text box has the previous URL I entered,
    plus the name of my .ics file.  So it looks like this in the text box:
        https://mycompany.com/calendars/myfile.ics
    I click "OK", and I get an error popup that says "The address you typed is not valid.  Check the address, and try again."  Note that I didn't type the address at all - it is what outlook put there for me.
    As a side note:  in Outlook 2010 the URL shown is the same (i.e., the URL includes the .ics file) but the text box is inactive (greyed out) and the "OK" button does not produce this error message).
    So, already something has gone very wrong.  In order to try to work around this, I then edit the text box to remove the .ics file (i.e., to put the URL back to what I originally typed,
    https://mycompany.com/calendars/).  But now, one of two things will happen, neither of which is ok.
    In some cases, Outlook will continue to publish periodically, but when it does, it will do a PUT to
    https://mycompany.com/calendars/ - without the myfile.ics suffix.  Naturally, this fails, because the server doesn't know what .ics file it's supposed to put the PUT payload into.
    In other cases, Outlook ceases publishing altogether.  It will do a PROPFIND to the URL, but then no PUT.  I have not yet figured out the circumstances of these two failure modes, so I'm not yet sure why one happens and not the other.  But
    they are both wrong.
    So, the long and short of this is, you cannot change publishing options in Outlook 2013, because the functionality (which worked fine in Outlook 2010) is just plain broken.  I have given the steps required to reproduce this problem, and it seems like
    it would be easy to address.  Yet it has been sitting for 1.5 years with no fix.  What will it take to get this fixed?  Microsoft people, please advise - if I can get it fixed by opening a support case then please say so; paying is not an obstacle. 

  • Problems Using IK multimedia with Leopard

    Hey guys,
    I wonder if anyone here has tried the new IK Multimedia ARC software. if so what do you think of it?
    I have had a problem with it on my MBP (10.5.1) where after going through all the measurements and reaching the final step I can choose a picture for the preset but can not type the name of the preset, thus can not move on and save a preset to be later used within logic.
    This problem does not occurr on my Powerbook (10.5.1) as well, but all is fine the powerbook.
    any ideas? suggestions? solutions?
    thank you

  • What is up with using Adobe stuff with Leopard 10.5.2?

    All of my new Adobe DS Premium stuff is crashing upon launch suddenly and I'm told that there is a bug on Apple's side with compatibility here. Nobody's "home" at Adobe right now; I have tons of work to get done. I purchased their Design Suite Premium package and up until a week or so ago, everything worked just fine. Today an update came along - I installed it per the instructions, and I am still not only finding it impossible to launch the program but the dialog box pops up from Apple every time offering to send a message to Apple re the problem (and again, on the Adobe site, there is some noise there about this being something Apple is working on). Does ANYbody have any insight into this and/or at LEAST a workaround???? I've already run that CS 3 clean thing of Adobe's several times and run DU. Everything else on my system works fine.

    What update did you install?
    I see there are about 7 updates available since the last time I updated.
    adobe reader 8 language support, adobe air update for flash, adobe bridge 2.1.1 update, start meeting 1.0.1, flash lite update, adobe asset services and adobe version cue3.1.0.
    I don't have version cue installed anyway.
    I turned off auto updating just for the reason you opened this discussion.
    I have found doing any updates with any unnecessary programs or processes running
    is a big risk because of locked and in use files not getting updated properly.
    This may be what has happened in your case.
    I update all software in safe mode if possible. If that isn't practical for some reason, I
    shut down all unnecessary programs and processes before updating and do a disk check.
    It only takes one corrupt file to shut you down or cripple an application or applications.

  • Using PowerPC G4 with Leopard Server.

    Hi All,
    I have a PowerMac (QuickSilver) G4 collecting dust and would like to put it to good use.
    I would like to have "host" a web server and run FTP's and being able to access it from anywhere there's browser....
    Now, I understand I could just install Leopard on my G4 and use the built-in webserver and install mySQL on it. But I wonder whether installing Mac OSX Server (albeit Leopard Server being a powerpc) would have any benefits for me.
    Cheers
    G

    Hi
    As long as the proposed hardware meets Leopard Server's minimum requirements you should be OK to install it:
    • An Intel processor or PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
    • At least 1GB of RAM. I would go for 2GB as a Minimum or as much as you can install
    • At least 20GB of disk space available
    • An active connection to a secure Ethernet network
    Be aware if you've installed a 3rd-Party Processor Upgrade you'll have to consult the manufacturer's website if OSX Leopard Server is supported.
    How well it performs after that will depend largely on the choices you make post install phase. Regardless of what choice you make and to make this absolutely clear, as well as emphasising this as much as I can, you will need a correctly working and configured DNS Service. Without it and regardless of whatever else you want from this Server nothing will work well if at all.
    If you really must have FTP I would consider securing it otherwise consider finding some other means of remote access. A VPN would be a wise choice.
    HTH?

  • Cannot print using Canon W6400 with Leopard - help????

    There is an archived discussion with this exact problem, however it doesn't seem to have been resolved. I'm hoping someone can help with the issue now....
    I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro running Leopard. I cannot get my W6400 to print with it, despite re-installing, checking cables, etc. It worked fine a few weeks ago with my old laptop, so I'm assuming it's Leopard. The error message that comes up says 'Operation Could not be completed. client-error-not-possible'. I cannot find this message in any manuals, or on the Canon website. I've logged the question in with Canon, but it could take up to 3 days to get a response.
    Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

    After about 7 hours on the phone with Canon, Apple, friends, etc. I rang the man I bought the printer from. He said 'no problem' and within 20 mins, he emailed me the link below - this is after Canon told me there was no updated driver as the printer was so old! Lunatics! Anyway, if anyone needs a great company for large format printers, etc ring Design Supply.

  • Has anyone used VNC successfully with the portal?

    When I try to connect to vnc through the portal (eg http://server:5803), I can view the correct login page, but get the error "java.net.ConnectException. Connection refused", yet it works when NOT through the portal. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.

    Never tried VNC through the rewriter and http, but am not surprised at all that it won't work.
    We have created a VNC netlet that works nicely.

  • WRT54GC with Leopard

    My iBook G4 can't see my wireless network. I have an older WRT54GC that I used to use with Tiger. Last year I moved and used a different router and upgraded to Leopard. Now I'm back with my old WRT54GC, but my laptop doesn't see the wireless network at all. My ipod touch can see/use the network, so I know it's there. The router is even set to broadcast the SSID, which I generally don't do. I've tried with and without WPA2. Any suggestions? Is anyone successfully using a WRT54GC with Leopard? Thanks, Alex

    Solved. I'd set the channel to 13, which I guess older american cards can't pick up. According to the wikipedia, american channels only go 1-11, european ones go 1-13, and japanese go to 14 or 15... Anyway, I set the channel to 11 and it seems happy now. Alex

  • Anyone got one to work with Leopard yet?

    Posted this Rant at the end of another Topic, slightly OT so reposting here (with some additions):
    I wish I could report that iTunes 7.6 broke my apple tv, because that would mean it had been working up until very recently. Sadly however, it hasn't been used since i put leopard on my media server (mac mini).
    I bough one of the first batch of 40Gb ones before there were 160Gb ones, and have had to remove and re-add it to iTunes (streaming) every time i used it until leopard. now it will sometimes put in a fleeting appearance when removing a disk or plugging in an iPod.
    Once it was even there long enough to tell it to sync one film. Since leopard my work around has been to remove and add it again but with syncing not streaming then sync the one film or tv show that is required. unfortunately this has only worked once.
    What have I Tried To fix this i hear you cry well...
    Under Tiger:
    complete os rebuild, disabling firewall, rebuilding mac subnet from ground up playing sequentially with advanced router properties (yes i do know what i am doing, I'm a paid IT Technician) calling in a friend with networking and IT communications degree to help, calling in father with 20 years corporate network design experience.
    End result? nothing changed in the way my network was setup, as nothing was wrong with the way i had it set up to begin with (that said the initial setup of the router justifies a whole f*ing essay). during this time all mac's at all times had current software. i took all software updates hoping for a fix. in the mean time using the workaround described above.
    Under Leopard:
    Are you Joking? even less functionality. after reading up and discovering you CAN'T DISABLE the leopard firewall yet, devised new work around (as above) worked once, gave up. too much to deal with with wifi connections under leopard dropping out continuously.
    Result: useless piece of kit with truly wonderful and sleek looking software interface.
    I think a large part of the problem is my laughable router which seems to flake out requiring a cold restart multiple times a day. (airport extreme 'n' 1st generation).
    Both are just under a year old. I'll wait for 10.5.2 + Apple TV update + update to airport extreme base station (hopefully when time caplsule comes out).
    If this doesn't resolve all my issues I'll just return ATV + AEBS, call it a day with apple networking and get a netgear n router, and one of those network HDD's with video playing capability and a tv output and hook both things up by my tv. no video conversion to itunes required. wireless n access to my media. half the cost, job done.
    Don't get me wrong, mac's are still amazing but these two devices have shattered my faith in apple products, unless it's a mac or an iPod, I'll steer clear in future.
    I would go back to Tiger but it is too much hassle now. They'll fix the WIFI and the firewall in 10.5.2 at which point there'll be nothing to stop me using my machines with leopard. updates for pro software continue to be released and nearly all of my applications worked with a clean install anyway.
    Back to the topic, has anyone else got an ATV with leopard that does nothing at all? i want to be able to say to them that the product they sold me is not fit for purpose and return it under that premise.
    Also if anyone has a fix (non voodoo please) I'd gladly eat my hat and just start using the bloody thing, albeit 10 months after purchase.

    You say you tried switching off the firewall i tried that too and your quite right it seems that it will not work with the firewall off. as turning it off does not turn it off.
    sos10: "I did make sure however iTunes wasn't on the list in the Firewall settings."
    The list your talking about (if you're talking about the leopard firewall) is the list of programs WITH access. so if you have it set to: "set access for specific services and applications"; iTunes would have to be in that list with "allow all incoming connections".
    The only other setting is essential services only which doesn't work. As this doesn't include the port we need to get a connection.
    out of the three the one that works the most is the: "set access for specific services and applications"
    iTunes - "allow all incoming connections"
    This i when i get the odd reminder vis the devices list that i have a useless £200 electrical device heating up my front room.
    Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if you could actually open a port in a firewall (shock horror). I know they'd have to hide the option away somewhere so as not to mess up the simplicity of the interface!
