With the Clean Install of Leopard System Slowness

I have a MacBook Pro 2.0 Core Duo 2GB RAM (first generation)Mac OS 10.5.1 w/recent updates.
Initially, I did an upgrade from Tiger to Leo and there was no slowness. I was asked one of the external audio interface manufacturers that their driver might not work properly if upgraded from Tiger to Leo (without clean install). It needs a clean install so I performed a clean install of Leopard.
Now, my MacBook Pro is slow when I try to run (start) an applications e.g. Logic Pro 8 or when I try to navigate through folders. There is a delay in displaying icons or opening files.
Are there any services or back ground applications that I can turn off? Has anyone else experience similar issue?
Thanks
Mitch

thats happening all the time. it is not a one time thing. if there was a run away process it should get killed when a reboot is performed right?
it appears that i have to modify Leo so that only needed services and apps running but not sure which one to kill

  • What is the difference between the OEM and the clean install ???

    HI ,,
    I have HP DV6 .. it comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit ..
    I have installed a clean version from Microsoft .. but i want to know what is the difference between the version that comes pres-installed with the laptop , and the version i have installed from Microsoft..
    Thank you.......

    Very little,if any, difference in the OS. Main difference is not all drivers and none of the HP installed software is installed with the clean install.

  • Clean install from Leopard to M. Lion on new disk

    I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 and a too small disk. I just purchased a 500GB internal disk. I'd like to do a clean install from Leopard to Mountain Lion using the new disk. What is the recommended procedure? I'd like to avoid the extra step of installing Snow Leopard first as documented.

    Well, I wouldn't do it that way, too many steps.
    I would:
    1. Clone your current drive to the external drive, instead of using Time Machine. (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper)
    2. Boot from your external drive, update it to Snow Leopard.
    3. Purchase and download ML from that external boot. Save a copy of the installer to a location other than the Applications folder, that way it won't be erased after you use it. (verify that you've made a copy and not just an alias)
    4. Install your new drive, format it.
    5. Boot from your external, run the ML installer, select your new empty internal as the install destination, when prompted, use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the external to the internal.
    6. When done, you should have a fresh install of ML on your new internal and a bootable SL on your external as a backup. If you decide that you want to go back to SL, you can just erase the internal and clone the external back to the internal.
    Note: You don't need to make a bootable USB installer, they're too slow anyway. Just keep a copy of the ML installer on your external, bootable drive, so that you won't have to download it again.
    Another option: Since you're replacing the intrenal with a 500 Gig drive, you could partition it to two 250 Gig partitions. Put ML on one and SL on the other, i.e.,

  • Restoring files ONLY from Time Machine on a clean install of Leopard

    Hi folks. I've seen variations of this asked but not quite the answer I'm looking for.
    I want to do a clean install of Leopard and want to restore only files from a TM backup (mp3's, photos, docs, etc.). I don't want to incorporate apps, system files or the user account from the TM backup. Just a fresh installation of OS X on which I can incorporate my files from a TM backup without having to worry about incorporating unwanted programs, hidden files and whatnot. I used to do this on Windows all the time but can't figure out a way of doing it on OS X. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

    What's user ID 501? So if I'm trying to import files from a TM backup and I have the same user ID, I won't be prompted to change it based on this method?
    you won't be prompted to change user ID but if the user IDs are different you'll be denied access to some folders (like the Documents folder) in your old home directory and won't be able to restore them. I presume the files you want to restore are there? this issue can be dealt with if it does arise but as I said if you only have one user on both computers this will not be an issue. just try it and see what happens.

  • Glitchy Display after Clean install of Leopard (G5 dual 2 GHz, Radeon 9600)

    Hello,
    I'm having weird glitchy display issues after a clean install of Leopard on my work machine. There was years of crap on this machine, several user accounts and it was extremely slow. I was advised by my tech guy to wipe the HD and do a clean install of OSX Leopard and all my Apps (Adobe CS3 & Extensis Suitcase X1).
    I immediately noticed glitchy display issues. First, when i scroll over anything with my mighty mouse it leaves a trail of glitchy weirdness where my cursor was:
    http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/dylandog/screenglitch2.png
    Second, in certain applications if i move a window my clicking and dragging the top bar or a window it starts "disintegrating" and getting all pixelated. If i shake the window while doing this it gets worse:
    http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/dylandog/screenglitch1.png
    I ran software update thinking that would help...Still doing it.
    I also installed 4 GB of memory (the max for this machine) to try increase speed. It did increase speed, but I'm still experiencing the display issues.
    I'm going to run the CS3 updates now...I doubt that will fix it, but you never know.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how, or what to do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance!!
    BTW, The specs on my machine are as follows:
    Power Mac G5
    Dual 2GHz circa 2005
    4GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9600
    30" Cinema Display
    19" Planar PL1910M LCD
    OSX 10.5.1

    Many people have reported that there ATI 9600's don't work well in leopard. Most were able to fix the problem by installing old ATI drivers, including me. I still get glitches but only when going from a full screen w/thousand color back to a million colors, but the glitches only affect the docks stacks.
    The guide can be found here: http://interandom.com/2007/10/31/leopard-ati-radeon-9600/
    Let us know how it goes. Good Luck.

  • Clean install of Leopard - what next?

    I've been having lots of problems since upgrading to Leopard about six months ago. Keyboard and trackpad freezing regularly, a problem which has got much worse in the past few weeks.
    I've been told it could be due to not applying the software updates correctly, maybe getting out of sync with them or something, which is possible. I've also been diagnosed that it could be an internal hardware thing which would cost a fortune to fix.
    So, as my Mac melted down again today and I couldn't restart, I backed up to Time Machine and did a clean install of 10.5, hoping it was down to the software rather than the hardware.
    Since the clean install the trackpad's not sticking and all seems fine.
    What do I do now? I don't want to revert straight back to the Time Machine snapshot as I'm imagining this will reintroduce the same issues as I had before.
    If I apply the all-in-one 10.5 software update, then restore, will Time Machine override the "clean" 10.5 software update and bring back the badness?
    Is the only option to apply the proper 10.5 software update to my newly clean Mac, and then reinstall apps one by one? I hope not... otherwise it's going to be a long weekend.
    Thanks in advance

    don't do a full system restore from TM. that will wipe your current install and restore the whole system to the state it was in at the back up time and you'll get all your problems back. You can try using Migration Assistant to restore your user and/or applications from the TM backup. that might or might not reintroduce the problems you were having. if the problems come back then I would do an erase and install again and then restore things by hand. that will take a long time as you rightly fear but will give you the cleanest system.
    see this link for what to restore from your home directory if you choose that route.

  • HOW TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF LEOPARD?

    UNFORTUNATELY MY IMAC COMES WITH TIGER PREINSTALLED AND NOT LEOPARD AS THEY PROMISE TO ME, THEY ARE GOING TO SEND ME A DISC... I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW CAN I DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF LEOPARD WITHOUT HAVIND TO INSTALLE IT OVER TIGER?
    I think if i installed from whe tiger os, i will keep some parts of tiger.

    If your mac is new and you do not have anything on your system that you want to save then do a new install, When the installer asks you to select the destination ( HD) also open the option button and select the new install and select the extended format for the HD. Also the archive and install should work well for you.

  • How do I import my address book after doing a clean install of Leopard?

    I just finished doing a clean install of Leopard and I realized that I forgot to export an Address book archive before erasing my hard drive. I still have all the Address Book files stored in Application Support in my Library (on my backup hard drive) but I don't know how to get those files into Address Book. Whenever I try the different import options they are all grayed out.
    I also have the Address Book files stored on my iPod Touch but syncing with my Touch doesn't seem to bring them into my computer. Is there anything I can do at this point besides entering them in one at a time?! Copying and pasting the files from the backup to the current folder doesn't seem to do any good either. It will tell me that the files I am trying to write over and in use. It says this even after I close Address Book.

    Ok, I got is to work by selecting the folder itself and copying it over. Aparently it does work if you open the folder, select all the contents and then paste it. I didn't think it would matter which way you did it.

  • Clean Install of Leopard - How to import old mail?

    So I did a clean install of Leopard as per recommendation from a guy at the genius bar. I backed up my library folder on an external drive before doing the install. The guy at the store said I could import the old emails/ mailbox/ folder structure and addresses into the new mail and address book using the files from my library.
    I tried to do this using the import functionality but it is putting everything in a mailbox called import.
    Does anyone know the proper way to do this? Should I replace the mail files with my old ones?
    Also should I use the import function for iPhoto or just drag all the photos over to the application? iPhoto is also having problems importing.
    Thanks for the help.

    That is what the guy at the Apple store had told me to do and what I have been attempting to do. However, it does not work.

  • Where is the Clean Install file for Flash Player for Mac?

    The troubleshooting for Mac Install of Flash Player suggests that one uninstall and then perform a clean install.  I believe that this has also been referred to as an "offline" installer.  When one clicks on the the link to the clean install, one obtains the dreaded "404", File not Found error.  Does anyone know where one can find the clean install file.  The standard update almost never, ever works on my 2009 PowerMac, now running Yosemite.  Would someone please suggest to the folks running the Adobe website that it would be nice to have a working link to such a file.  This issue has come up before.  Would someone also suggest that before any new update is unleashed upon the world that someone make sure that the "Clean Install" link is linked to a download of a "Clean Install" installer?
    Many thanks,
    T. Olsen

    Here is the first part of it, hope it helps.

  • Can't long in to iWeb after clean install of Leopard and upgrade to Snow

    I just recently did a clean install of Leopard and then upgraded to Snow Leopard. Everything is working ok except for iWeb. At first, I thought I had just forgotten my password but then I reset it. I logged on here with it and on iTunes. I can't edit my page at all. How do I get into iWeb now? The template I created through iWeb of course is not on my computer- it's just on my iWeb site. Can I call to get someone th help me or do I need to start all over. How do I do that because I have a subscription?
    Thanks

    Daniel ~ Welcome to the discussions. If you didn't backup iWeb's key Domain file before the clean install, you'll probably need to start over. I say "probably" because even though you didn't deliberately back up the Domain file, perhaps you were running Time Machine — in which case, there's still hope:
    Recovering items using Time Machine and Spotlight
    Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
    You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • "Clean Install" Snow Leopard on Tiger using 30 eur DVD. Legal or not?

    Hi!
    I have two questions:
    1). Is it possible to use the "cheap" 30 euro DVD to "clean install" Snow Leopard on 5yrs old MacBook running Tiger?
    By "clean install" I mean to erase the hard drive and then install the new operating system (Snow Leopard).
    I have read that is possible technically but is it legal?
    2). Is "Clean Install" and "Upgrading" similar or different from a legal point of view?
    A clean install is when you erase your hard drive and then install the operating system. An upgrade is when you just overwrite the operating system and keep other files in place.
    Thanks,
    D.M.

    1. Yes.
    2. They are different.  The former requires first erasing the drive while the latter upgrades an existing system.

  • Steps to Setup a Raid 1  with a clean install of 10.5.2  and 2 new HD's

    What are the steps I need to take to setup a RAID 1 with a clean install of 10.5.2 on a G5 tower with 2.0 Ghz dual processors.
    (1) Any restrictions on the size or brand of the 2 drives I will install to replace the old drives? Are 500 GB, 750 GB or 1TB Seagate SATA drives ok for this appilcation?
    (2) What format do I need for these drives and will Leopard take care of that automatically upon installation?
    (3) Do I need a RAID controller card?
    (4) Do I set up the RAID 1 when installing Leopard or after it is installed?
    Thanks Ron

    Creating RAIDs is discussed in Disk Utility Help from the DU Help menu. If you plan to install OS X on the RAID then the RAID must be set up before installing OS X. DU can be launched from within the OS X installer.
    There are no current restrictions. In general use drives of the same make and model for best performance.
    Drives must be partitioned using GUID partition mapping and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Partitioning and formatting are also discussed in Disk Utility Help.
    You do not need a RAID card as you can create a software RAID using Disk Utility.

  • Accepting ilife before or after the clean install of ML

    Hi
    I know this seams strange but here is the situation, I am getting cMBP and will swap the HD with SSD, I am new to MAC and will follow these steps:
    Setup the new Mac
    Login with Apple ID and download the ML, to make bootable drive for clean install
    Swap the HDD with the SSD
    Erase the new SSD and install the ML
    Now here comes the strange title, which is better: to accept the iLife after the initial setup before the clean install or after the clean install? I've heard of some users loosing their preinstalled iLife after clean install of ML.
    Sorry for long post and thanks in advance.

    I'd do it after you install the SSD drive and install ML on it.  That way you only have to download and install once.
    OT
