Using of Mac Leopard OS on a non-mac system???

I own a Acer5920 notebook and want to install Mac 10.5 Leopard on it as I really like using Mac better than WINDOWS. I'd like to know if its feasible to install the Mac OS on my Acer notebook and how to go about it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

Consider the fact there are many used and refurbished Macs* that will run Windows legally*.
You may be surprised what you can afford. And of course you could sell your Windows machine, and get your cake and eat it too.

  • Used for Mac system got so hotting

    hi,
    I would like to know why my computer got so hotting, I never saw that any computer like this got so hotting, used for Mac system.
    I try to make a phone call to figure out it but always busy on the hot line,
    Please kindly advise why the computer got so hotting?

    Many thanks,

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, install iStat Menus so we can check the temperature and the fans at any moment to see if something goes wrong with your Mac.
    If your computer is hot now, tell us the temperature and the fans speed

  • Can the G500 Speaker system be used for Mac systems?

    I have the Creative G500 speaker system 5.1 and would like to know if it can be hooked up to my mac? I understand I will not be able to use the pc card but can the speaker system itself be hooked up to the Mac?
    Thanks

    Sorry I did not get back online quick enough...but the passwords are the same.
    For some reason, after my first cold boot, I was still prompted for the hard disk passwords.  I powered down again and when I powered back up, it signed me on all the way through.  So it was just a hiccup.
    All is good now and I'm very happy!
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Using IDOCS to sync SAP and a Non SAP system

    Hi everyone,
    In the current scenario users create customers in SAP. We have used change pointers so that changes to fields cause an IDOC to be generated. This is then sent to Websphere and a flat xml file representation of the IDOC is created.
    My problem is around how IDOCS and change pointers handle clears in fields.
    For example if i add an entry into the NAME 2 field usnig XD03 (we have a change pointer on this) an IDOC is generated and i can see my entry in the correct IDOC segment.
    If i then clear that entry so the field is null an IDOC is generated but there is no NAME 2 segment.
    The recieving system has no idea what field has been cleared.
    Has anyone come across this??
    Cheers
    Carston

    Ok cool,
    So if i make a change in the KNA1 section i get a full E1KNA1M segment - thats great thanks. That should work
    Only issue (and its more for the comsuming system) is that the xml file they load has KNVV fields in also.
    As the idoc hits websphere they will be able to map all the kna1 fields to the relevant xml nodes. Where NAME2 is now null that will map to a blank xml node. Perfect.
    Its how it handles the segments that arent in the sap idoc which worries me. As the KNVV segment isnt there i think they are planning to create blank nodes for the fields so the xml stucture is always complete. The consuming system wants to totally reload the customer based on Kunnr each time it gets an IDOC. So in that case it will load all the KNA1 stuff correctly, including the fact name2 is now blank, but it will then also blank every knvv entry in their table.
    I guess i need websphere to note that there is no KNVV idoc segment and therefore not create any xml nodes for those fields.
    Then it falls on the consuming system to be able to load partial xml structures in effect.
    Its been good to think this through
    I would be interested in any feedback you have.
    Cheers

    Hi Dharani,
    You can get information from the following links:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/43/d08b00d73001b4e10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=744043
    SAP CONNECTORS:- Basically Connectors are like middlewares , that we use to connect to the backend system including Non SAP systems also. Will try to explain it to u with some examples of SAP Connectors:-
    a) SAP Business Connectors:-
    A middleware application based on the B2B integration server from webMethods.
    The SAP Business Connector enables both bi-directional synchronous communication and asynchronous communication between SAP applications and SAP and non-SAP applications.
    The SAP Business Connector makes all SAP functions that are available via BAPIs or IDocs accessible to business partners over the Internet as an XML-based service.
    The SAP Business Connector uses the Internet as a communication platform and XML or HTML as the data format. It integrates non-SAP products by using an open, non-proprietary technology.
    b) SAP Java Connector:-
    SAP Java Connector (SAP JCo) is a middleware component that enables the development of SAP-compatible components and applications in Java. SAP JCo supports communication with the SAP Server in both directions: inbound calls (Java calls ABAP) and outbound calls (ABAP calls Java).
    SAP JCo can be implemented with Desktop applications and with Web server applications.
    SAP JCo is used as an integrated component in the following applications:
    1) SAP Business Connector, for communication with external Java applications
    2) SAP Web Application Server, for connecting the integrated J2EE server with the ABAP environment.
    SAP JCo can also be implemented as a standalone component, for example to establish communication with the SAP system for individual online (web) applications.
    To Know more go through,
    SAP Java Connectors
    II) ALE Concept:-
    ALE is not restricted to communication between SAP systems, it can also be used for connecting SAP Systems to non-SAP systems.
    By using IDocs as universal information containers, ALE can reduce the number of different application interfaces to one single interface that can either send IDocs from an SAP system or receive IDocs in an SAP system.
    SAP certified Translator Programs can convert IDoc structures into customer-defined structures.
    Alternatively, the RFC interface for sending and receiving IDocs can be used in non-SAP systems.
    In both cases you need the RFC Library of the RFC Software Development Kit (RFC-SDK).
    This link gives a great insight into landscape for Connectivity to Non-SAP systems:-
    SAP to Non-SAP systems
    III) Communication Between SAP Systems and External (Non-SAP) Systems using RFC:-
    When you use RFC for communication with an external (non-SAP) system, you can also implement the SAP Java Connector or the SAP .Net Connector for the conversion of data. However, there are no specific security requirements for these components, since they only perform internal system conversion functions.
    The additional security recommendations for communication with external systems in this section make particular reference to cases where an external system is used as a server (SAP calls the external system). If you use an external system as a client (the external system calls SAP), the appropriate SAP-specific security mechanisms are implemented on the SAP side.
    This link explains in detail all the security considerations you need to take for connecting to an External Non SAP system like, User administration, Network Security etc.
    Communication Between SAP Systems and External (Non-SAP) Systems using RFC
    Hope this helps,

  • I'm using a Mac / Leopard. I can no longer "save as" an image. Please see the "details" section for more information. Thanks.

    I'm using a Mac / Leopard. Beginning about a month ago, I can no longer "save as" an image. The "Save Image As" menue comes up -- but then nothing. I can drag images onto the desktop, but that's it. I tossed out Firefox, and then downloaded it and reinstalled it, but have the same problem. (I couldn't figure out how to get rid of profiles and bookmarks -- so they remained). As I type this question on the Firefox website, I don't see the forum in front of me -- just a window to type a question. So, if you answer this question, I'm not sure I'll be able to find the answer. Thus, if you'd be so kind as to also email me the answer, that would be greatly appreciated: davidfreeman11 AT gmail.com Thanks

  • I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
    Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now.  In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want.  TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

  • I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion and found out it was not compatible with my HP printer (HP photosmart C5580) so I called Apple and asked how to get Mountain Lion off and Snow Leopard back on.  The Tech told me to

    I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion.  Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine.  Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer.  I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs.  Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
    When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it.  Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

    Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
    Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert to Snow Leopard
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • Installing Win7 on a macbook pro using a mac mini as external optical drive

    hi everyone,
    My 2 year old son watches movies on my macbook pro. He stuck something in the optical drive making it unusable. Repairing it is 200 to 300 euros (ouch).
    I want to install win7 via bootcamp and I'm using my mac mini (october 2009) as an external optical drive. These are my steps:
    1.hold the "t" on the mac mini
    2.connect it to the macbook with a firewire 800 to firewire 400 cable
    3.Power up and hold the "alt" on the macbook
    4.I see the optical drive on the boot screen and I choose it
    5.Then I get a blank screen and a few seconds later the "missing operating system" message appears.
    Am I missing something? Is it possible to install win7 using a mac mini as an external drive?
    PS1:I already have partitioned the HD with bootcamp.
    PS2:I've upgraded the hard disk drive of the macbook with a seagate momentus 500GB hard disk. Don't think this is the problem, thought I should mentioned it.

    Hi Mike,
    For reference it is called "IP over Firewire".
    Connect the two computers with a fire wire cable. System Preferences > Network > Configure IPv4: > Manually > IP address: 192.168.3.1 (and .2 on other) > Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. Leave the other fields blank. Do this on both computers on the computer you want to allow access to or both for two way access go to System Preference > Sharing > Select a service to change its settings. Turn remote Login on.
    On the MBP go to the Finder Menu > Go > Connect to Server > Type in the IP address of the Mini 192.168.3.2 (Whatever you gave it)
    With this configuration you still have full use of the Mini and certain apps can use Xgrid and use the processor of the mini when it is not doing anything. I would keep the Mini as 10.4 unless you really need both machines running Leopard. As noted before you cannot boot the MBP from a HDD that is Apple Partition Scheme and vice versa you cannot boot the PPC from a Guide Partition Table.

  • Using the Mac as a wireless Bridge for the Xbox 360

    Want to use your Mac essentially as a wireless adapter for an Xbox 360 or any console? plug in the ethernet cable between the two devices and follow the setup process!
    Wireless Bridge setup process
    1. Open system Preferences.
    2. Clisk sharing, then the internet tab and select Airport as the “share your connection from” then select the Built-in Ethernet in the list.
    3. Open up the terminal Application and type ifconfig en0 in the window it sohuld display an outcome like this
    ifconfig en0
    en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
    ether 00:16:cb:cc:80:aa
    media: autoselect status: inactive
    supported media: autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,flow-control> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> none
    4. This gives you the information of what your computer’s IP address is. On the xbox dashboard in the network setup screen select manual and select the top section which contains the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address, for the IP address, input the Highlighted section above plus one, so its 192.168.2.1 (this is for standard configurations, again, just add one to the last digit of your IP address.
    5. Open Airport Admin Utility, the select configure on your airport. Then select the Internet tab This will give you your subnet Mask, input accordingly.
    6. For the Gateway address, you are going to put in the value in the blue box. This is because you are using your Computer as a gateway, therefor you need to tap into its connection.
    So For the Average setup you will use:
    IP Address: 192.168.2.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway Address: 192.168.2.1
    7. Now for the DNS server, this varies according to What internet service you have, but, Airport admin utility provides the answer, right below the information we used above, you will see DNS Server. viola! Put that in as your primary DNS server in the second box of edit options in the network menu.
    Now you should be complete, test the connection and you should be Ready to Go!! Happy Gaming!

    Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
    If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
    If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
    If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
    1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
    2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

  • Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
    A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
    Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
    Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
    No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
    The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
    Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
    The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
    All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
    Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
    Notes
    The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
    The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
    All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
    Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

    Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
    Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
    See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9755670&#9755670
    Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

  • 2007 iMac freezes up, rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve?

    My circa 2007 iMac freezes up, and rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Most of the time I ONLY have 1 thing open at a time, and keep my tabs down to a minimum. I bought this to do film editing on but with it acting like this I cannot do that. I know I need a ram upgrade (currently running 2 gb) and my OS is old, 10.5.8, but I think even with it being a bit outdated it should run better than this. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve this? Or any other suggestions to keep this clunker chugging along for a little while longer?

    How full is the hard drive?
    Do you run any virus software or hard drive "cleaner" software like MacKeeper?
    If your model is from 2007 you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
    2 GBs is the barest of minimum RAM for OS X to run on.
    Especially if doing video work. You simply do not have sufficient RAM.
    Also OS X 10.5.8 Leopard support ended around 2009.
    You could update to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, at least.
    It is available on disc from the Apple store for U.S. $19.99.
    I Would seriously upgrade your iMac's RAM to the max. 6 GBs before doing this.
    Reliable Mac RAM can be purchase from online Mac RAM source Crucial memory or OWC ( also known as macsales).
