Weak connection after Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded to Leopard. Afterwards I noticed that the Airport icon is not at full strength. Only two of the three bars are active. Is this a result of the upgrade and do i need to do something else. I have a connection but it seems slower or I assume so because of the weak icon.

I have the same exact problem after upgrading my PowerBook G4 to Leopard. All my other computers (MacBook Pro, MacBook, iPhone) work fine using the same Airport Extreme Base Station. What used to be consistently 4 bars has now dropped to 2 bars (computer is about 6 feet away from the base station). The connection is also slower and the range significantly reduced. Placing the computer right next to the base station shows only 3 bars...
This started immediately after the Leopard update and is consistent across several Wifi routers I've used (one Airport Extreme and one Linksys).
Looking at similar posts, people seems to have the same issue with Airport signal strength with PowerBook G4s and Leopard. I'm convinced this is a driver/Leopard defect. Apple, please look into this!!

USB HD not connecting after Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded to Leopard (10.5.4) last night and was going to set up Time Machine with my USB HD that is connected to my Airport Extreme Base Station (7.3.2 firmware, 5.3.2 Utility), but the drive no longer automatically connects when I turn it on. I know there was a recent firmware update or 10.5.x release that enabled that feature, and not just Time Capsule, for Time Machine backups. What am I doing wrong?

You ever figure it out? I just upgraded to leopard ( actually got a whole new macbook ) and now I am trying to get used to a few new things. My external HD connected to my Airport Extreme is no longer automounting with this leopard 10.5.5 computer. It will also not show up under the devices in the side bar.
Thanks

Lost Dell connection after Leopard Upgrade

I have a three Mac + one Dell Windows box on my (wired) network.
After installing Leopard, I found it cool that the networked machines are conveniently located in the left margin of Finder windows, but my Dell connection is toast even though it appears on the list (the Mac links work fine). Even if I go to the Go>Connect to Server, it now tells me that I don't have access... Guest or otherwise. Do I need to reconfigure my Windows machine?

When the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network, you won't see E for EDGE, 3G, or 4G in the status bar. You will see the number of bars, AT&T, and the wi-fi connection symbol.
When you turn wi-fi off on your iPhone, there is nothing available to the right of AT&T?

After Leopard Upgrade, HDTV No Longer Displays Full Screen Apple TV??

Fairly recent Apple convert. iMac is directly connected to HDTV (Mini-DVI to HDMI) and A/V Receiver(Toslink). After Leopard upgrade, I now have a black border, on HDTV, no matter what resolution I choose (worked automatically and perfectly on Tiger). In System Preferences-Display, I am mirroring the displays and have Overscan turned off, because without it, the Menu Bar does not display at all. I am wondering if Apple is trying to force me to buy an Apple TV or if maybe I just need to be patient until the correct drivers come out? Apple told me they were referring my problem to the Engineering Department, but I am not holding my breath. Primary need is to view Photos and eventually rent movies, when HD is readily available. Any opinions, predictions or suggestions on resolving would be appreciated. Thanks!!

same issue here. Don't use it very often so could not remember if it was fine previously thought it was. Hope we get help soon.

IMovie quits after leopard upgrade

iMovie'08 just does not open after leopard upgrade. It says application quit unexpectedly.
Any ideas what to do?

I too seem to have the same problem. Am running OS 10.5.6 and just will not stay open. Have tried to find the iMovie preference file and there's nothing there which could be the problem.
I too am wondering what I can do???

IChat video no longer working after Leopard upgrade

I always used to be able to video chat with everyone and then after my Leopard upgrade, no such luck... I looked through the user tips and here is what I have done.
1) Have you done the Quicktime Streaming setting ?
Yes, I have it set
2) Are you running your Mac with the Firewall On ?
Nope
3) Did you upgrade from Panther ?
Nope
4) How are you connected to the internet ?
Airport Extreme. Do I need to do set anything? We use it in 802.11n and nothing else.
5) Do you have any iChat Add-Ons ?
Nope
7) Does it have anything to do with connecting to a PC ?
See Here and here
8) List your Connection speed
6.7Mbps
Any ideas??
Thanks.

Hi,
2) Set the Firewall in Leopard to Allow Specific applications and service and add iChat to the list.
With an Airport Extreme I expect you have been getting Error 7
If the Modem is a Cable modem then nothing should be done to the Airport
If the modem id SDSL and routes then the Airport should not Share An IP and also the ports in the modem need to be opened with UPnP or pointing at the IP the computer has after you stop it Sharing an IP.

SugarCRM stops working after Leopard upgrade

My local copy of SugarCRM CE 4.5.1 was working in Tiger before I upgraded to Leopard last week.
After the upgrade, SugarCRM complains with the following message:
=====
Warning: mysqli_connect() \[function.mysqli-connect\]: (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock' (1) in /Users/orest/Sites/ruby/ruby.sugarcrm_from-backup-20080813/include/database/Mys qliManager.php on line 419

=====
A copy of PHPMyAdmin has not had any problems during the transition from Tiger to Leopard, nor have local copies of WordPress and Drupal.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm new to the subtleties of Apache/PHP/MySQL on Leopard, so please be gentle.
Thanks.

Thanks for the swift response.
I'm familiar with the socket location issues with MySQL on Mac OS X. My local copies of WordPress and PHPMyAdmin both work with their configurations pointing to the socket at /tmp/mysql.sock. These installations were working, along with SugarCRM, before the Leopard upgrade. Only SugarCRM has stopped working after the upgrade.
Is there something I misunderstand about your pointer?

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

3th gen Ipod Touch64gig refuses to connect after iTunes upgrade 11.1.3

I use a 3th Generation ipodtouch to store all my favourite music in combi with my surround system. Never had much hazzle with it.
Connect & forget last 5-6y.
My son decided to upgrade itunes upon my mac, a few days with latest version 11.1.3(8)
On first connection after upgrade, it told that the HD was full sized, this was strange becuz there was still 10Gig available, after latest connection.
All via iTunes purchased music did download vai the iCloud, so thats ok.
But all other music upon my iTunes simply refuses to upload to the ipodTouch.
It keeps saying No connection of ipod becuz of lost connection, this happens both via cable & wifi.
Has this something todo with Apple policy & dropping older hardware?
My Mac is still using snow leo, so no Icloud support at all with that version.
Thx 4 replies anyway.

Well, I'm almost gave up on this and already ordered a iPod classic with larger HD. But now thinking this wasnt one of the best idea's...becuz I'm almost sure Apple ordered a death warrant to older generations IPods. Now I had this idea to try if it load apps after the restore...and yes it did, so it isn't a data connections issues I got here but a simple matter of Apple poitics, and to say the least this ***.
So what I did find out so far....it don't load music,pictues and agenda it does load apps. I don't need app anymore on my iPod, I don't need a front and back camera on my iPod, i don't need facetime on my iPod...i've got a smartphone and that does all the rest.
Was thinking of buying another MAC, but now its clear that aint the right option.
(Very glad I didn't buy an iphone also)

Error in SM59 TCP/IP connection after kernel upgrade to 215..

Hi
We recently upgraded our kernel to patch 215(NW 7.0)..
We built the kernel by first taking the entire kernel stack( level 201) and then patched it with dw, enserver, lib_dbsl, tp, r3trans, r3inlpgm, saposcol with level = 215 except for lib_dbsl, which is 214 and enserver which is 207...
After the upgrade to this new level, we have a SM59 TCP/IP connection which calls an RPG program located in /qsys.lib/..(start on application server radio option), which has stopped working...
Now this RFC doesn't work anymore...
When we test it, it shows us the following:

This error may be due to kernel patch level. You can try some other patch level. If you can raise an OSS message with SAP, they can tell you exactly which Kernel patch will solve your problem.

Problems after Leopard upgrade with ATI 9800 Pro 256MB

I don't know if this is related.. but I've been battling multiple problems ever since I upgraded my G5 to Leopard a week ago. Everything was perfect under Tiger.
The problem that only occurred directly after upgrading to Leopard... is that my graphics now get corrupted and garbled. I've got two video cards running two LCD monitors. The card giving me problems is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (256MB). What happens is.. first all the window shadows and top menu bar start getting checkerboard patterns.. then the whole screen starts getting variants of different colors and checkerboard patterns. After awhile and refreshing the screen a few times... the problem goes away for a bit. Then comes back.
Again, this card and my entire system and drives were working fine under Tiger. Now, I don't know if I have a bad card? Is there something wrong with Leopard on my G5 2Ghz DP? Did my Maxtor 750GB triple interface drive just go bad with the upgrade?
I don't know where else to look, I'm guessing the "geniuses" at the Apple store won't help me since this machine is out of warranty. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. I've been battling all these problems ever since I started the Leopard upgrade 4 days ago and have not got much sleep.

I've already reset PRAM with the option,command,P,R keys... letting it chime a couple times... and have already done this many times over the last few days. Doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to reset NVRAM via open firmware and the instructions are vague. But, supposedly a PRAM reset is all you have to do.
If it is a heat problem, why would it only have presented itself directly after a Leopard upgrade? It also does it when I boot off the Leopard disk. Actually does it worse. I'd just get a new card if I wasn't suspicious about the Leopard upgrade... not convinced it's a hardware problem yet. Though the card is mounted on the bottom slot above the CPUs. It has a fan on top that appears to be working but it doesn't look like much clearance between the card and the top of the CPUs case.
I could move it up a slot to give it more air... but it still doesn't explain why until last Monday, it worked fine under Tiger.

Cannot save an MP3 file from a webpage after Leopard upgrade

Hello,
I am a graduate student and my instructor posts his lectures online as mp3 files. When I was using Tiger and Safari, I was able to right click the file and save it to my computer. Now, after I upgraded to Leopard, I right click and attempt to save and I get an error message of "no permissions to read file." If I click on the file, quicktime will play the mP3 in the safari browser but I want to save the file to my computer so I can listen to it through iTunes.
I am able to currently work around this by using Firefox as it allows me to save the file with no problem but I want to use Safari.
Any ideas?
BTW - Safari is 3.0.4 (Leopard)
Thanks!

It won't work if you drag it, but you can copy it from the Activity window, and then paste it into the downloads window. But it may get stuck that way too. The only way I know of is to open the MP3 in Safari, let it load, and then click on File and save it. And I'm using the latest Safari.

Mail sick after Leopard upgrade

Hi everyone
I originally added my comments to another thread, but that person's problem has been solved, while mine has not, so I had better post separately.
I had no problems with Mail before I upgraded to Leopard. After I upgraded, Mail wouldn't boot. That turned out to be due to an older copy of Mail still being on my disk, and the Dock and Login Items calling it instead. Deleting the old copy and opening the new copy, so it could run its Leopard setup, fixed that problem. After that, Mail would boot.
However, I was unable to download any mail from my POP server. It worked fine before the upgrade, but wouldn't work after the upgrade. Similar to the other thread, the Activity window would say that messages were being downloaded (and SpamSieve would log them), but they would not appear in my Inbox. Strangely, mailing-list messages etc. filtered to other mailboxes would appear in those other mailboxes.
I have quite a few extra mailboxes. The Leopard upgrade has rearranged them. They used to be listed under the Inbox and Smart Mailboxes (I installed MailTags once, but had problems with it, so I uninstalled it, but the Smart Mailboxes I created remain). The whole hierarchy, from the top of the sidebar, was called "On My Mac".
After the Leopard upgrade, "On My Mac" no longer represents all my mailboxes. It has been shifted down the sidebar, and now only contains my extra mailboxes (mailing lists etc.). My Inbox, Sent, Trash, Junk and Smart Mailboxes are now separate categories to On My Mac, and listed above it. I have no idea if this is relevant or not, but I mention it in case.
Following a suggestion on this forum, I tried rebuilding my Inbox. Mail crashed. It crashes every time I try to Rebuild my Inbox. (Crash log: http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/Mail_rebuild.txt).
After my attempted Rebuild, my Inbox was empty. All my previous messages had disappeared. There are plenty of emix files in my ~/Library/Mail POP account folder, but oddly, they are very old, many from previous years. Yet I only keep a couple of months' emails in my Inbox! None of these recent mails remain.
I have turned off Time Machine, so I won't overwrite my previous backup. (I don't know enough about Time Machine's bevaviour yet to take any chances.) My previous backup shows emix files up to the day I upgraded to Leopard, but double-clicking on them only shows a title and an empty window. (This may be because they are on a separate disk to the Mail app.: I don't know.)
I noticed that the Activity window would get stuck downloading specific mails, so I got onto my ISP's Webmail, and deleted as many mails as I could (some mailing list mails, spam etc.). Rebooting Mail after that, I could download a few mails, but again the Activity window would show Mail stuck on another message (usually in the 50s or 60s: "downloading 52 of 694"). If I delete that message in my Webmail, Mail will get stuck on another message next time I Check Mail. (I tell the Activity window to Stop, and it says it is Stopping, but never finishes. I have to Force Quit to stop it. Is mdworker related to Mail?)
I don't know if these "blocking" messages have anything particular in common. My prefs on my MacBook or my ISP don't exclude messages on the basis of size, format or attachments.
I use SpamSieve, GrowlMail and PGPMail. SpamSieve appears to be working: it logs each message received, even though they don't appear in my Inbox. However, SpamSieve's Growl notifications don't appear. I am unsure if Growl is working with Mail, although it still shows up in the Mail prefs: it is working with Speed Download. PGPMail still shows up in the Prefs and menus, but not in the message windows.
I hope this information is useful. I don't know what to do from here. Thankyou for any help you can offer.

My question hasn't been answered here, but I seem to have found the answer myself, eventually.
I decided to move the GrowlMail and PGPMail mailbundles to the Bundles Disabled folder, plus delete my two remaining MailTags smart mailboxes from when I had MailTags installed, then restart.
Lo and behold, as my old Grannie always said, I could successfully rebuild my Inbox. All my much-regretted previous emails appeared again! It was an emotional reunion.
Then I tried checking mail, and LaB again, several days of mail came pouring in.
Evidently something to do with the mailbundles or old smart mailboxes was getting in the way of Mail function.
I'll try reintroducing each mailbundle. I hope nobody else has this problem, but just in case, I thought I'd better leave my belated solution.

IPhoto trouble after Leopard upgrade

Just upgraded to Leopard and iPhoto would not launch after the upgrade.
Tried to reinstall iPhoto by upgrading to iLife 08 and installation was successful, but when I launch I get a message saying I need to upgrade my photo library and I click OK.
Then I get this message "Photo library is damaged and cannot be upgraded." Then am required to "Quit."
Help is greatly appreciated.
John

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Regards
TD

Photoshop 7.0 not opening after Leopard upgrade

Several months back I upgraded to Leopard and had that login & keychain update error which is now fixed. However for some reason after the upgrade I am unable to open my Photoshop 7.0. Has anyone else had problems opening existing programs before the upgrade? And if so, how did you fix it? Or should I just try to re-install the Photoshop from the CD?
Thanks, Christie

Which upgrade caused this to happen? There have been quite a few since 10.5.1.
I would also check with Adobe for any updates.
