View 6 RepliesI was curious if I could install leopard from my desktop with my laptops hdd connected and then insert the hdd into my laptop. Connect laptop hdd to desktop install leopard put laptop hdd in laptop. You may ask why not install from laptop? well, it would just take more time for me at the moment.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 3 year old small white Apple laptop. I also have an iMac. I recently acquired the laptop back from my 19 year old son who broke the DVD drive and deleted several necessary programs I'd like to use. The laptop is using 10.4.7 and I would like to upgrade to Leopard, which is the same OS on my iMac. My real question is can I link the two together with a firewire cable or something and load the new OS onto my laptop from the iMac? If this won't work what would you suggest I do to load the Leopard OS from the disk to the laptop?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get FCP6 to work on a couple of old laptops..One had no firewire port and the other was just old.I need to edit on a boat and was going to do so on the older laptops but it was just to time consuming. So I bought a 2012 mackbook pro. It was that or a 2010. I wanted to get something just a bit newer to last a few more years so I got the 2010 (Serial # CO2HMDYSDV33). It solves my firewire problem, and also has thunderbolt. I want to install FCP6.0.6 The Mackbook Pro has a fresh install of Mavericks. I have read that I cannot install Snow Leopard on this machine, so I am assuming that my only choice is Lion. I actually naively installed a Snow Leopard Disc.
So my research has told me that I can run FCP6 on lion after performing a few tricks. I just need to learn those tricks.
1. How do I install Lion on the Laptop. I have learned it is a download. Do I reformat the hard drive and then install it from another drive, or maybe another computer. It used to be so easy.
2. How to install FCP6 on Lion.
I tried to archive and install, but that didn't work. I checked and it said that there is something wrong with the hard drive (don't remember exactly what, but I can find out if you need me to). I bought Disc Warrior, but when I put it in, it looked like it starts running, then the computer just shuts down. What should I do?
(Sorry if I didn't give you enough information, I'm just not really sure exactly which parts are important or unimportant)
I need to download and update my laptop. I need the Leopard. I can't figure out how to do it. I don't need the Snow Leopard, I need just the plain Leopard, 10.5.

Besides the smaller footprint of the install, will I get any noticeable performance upgrade and also will It be able to support more ram now that its a completely 64 bit OS
Yesterday I went out and bought the new snow leopard and 4gb (2x2gb) of OCZ ram. First, I installed the OCZ ram and booted into Leopard for a minute to check it was working all right. Then I installed snow leopard and that went smoothly. I used my laptop for around 3 hours last night and then it froze. Then this morning I have used it for a little over an hour and it froze again. All my drivers are up to date.

I originally thought it was the password so went through the process of reinstalling the system with the original disk (with apple support help over the phone), but that wasn't the problem. How do I get the computer to recognize my username?

This is the first time i reinstalled(clean install) my snow leopard on my MBP. All went fine but then i inserted the disc for bundled application (which contains the ilife apps) but it keeps failing.
It says that "the installation failed. the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. contact the software manufacturer for assistance".
I've also done my research on this matter. I've gone thru a few steps i tried as below without success:
1)normal install - fail
2)repair permission - fail
3)install in safe mode - fail
4) install using another admin acc - fail
5) made an image out of the disc and install - fail
6) used a similar disc(my dad's since we have identical version) - fai
7)updated my system and install - fail
8) reinstall the mac - fail
i cant think of any other solution as im a bit noob when it comes to mac. is there any other things i could try before taking it Apple?

I've been trying to install and use BootCamp from Apple, so I can use Visual Basic for my classes. Obviously, I need Windows for this. Anyway, i downloaded BootCamp, installed it, and then Windows XP. After this I was told to insert my OSX disc to get the drivers. Well nothing happened at all. I suppose because this install of Leopard didn't include BC, it was a seperate download.I then read that BC Assistant should give me the option to burn a drivers disc. I looked at the provided screenshots, and right where the button should have been, there was nothing.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using a iMac PowerPC G5 that I've received from my brother. He gave it to me with a fresh install of Leopard on it, but he unfortunately no longer has the disc that came with the computer that he also used to format it before handing it to me. With that said, I ordered a new internal hard drive. Naturally, I'll need to re-install Leopard, but I don't have an install disc anywhere. How is this going to be possible? Or will it not be? Do I have to buy a new Leopard install disc? If so where and how much?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe internal hard drive on my early 2009 iMac is being replaced but I have to reinstall Snow Leopard myself.I did search in MRoogle and at Apple and cannot seem to find instructions on how to perform a clean Snow Leopard install on an iMac internal HD.
Can I do this? And if so how? Or do you think I should try and install Leopard on the existing Hd in the iMac? I still have these discs but have to get the SL applications install disc out of my drive (it's stuck and the iMac won't boot past the blue screen).
I jsut did a fresh install. wanted to use my SL DVD but the MBP i5 refused to star with it so I used the original DVD (10.5) and upgraded with the SL DVD to 10.6. However after the initial SL Installation, it tried from the SL DVD and this failed. I did a manual restart, starting from the HD and everything ran fine. however today I note there is a locked file on the HD named Mac OS X Install Data. It contains 181 .pkg files.Now I suppose this should have been moved or deleted as part of the install process. Can I move them to a file where they belong?

I purchased the new Mac Box Set with Leopard 10.5.6, iLife '09 and iWork '09.
I was 50/50 on which type of Leopard install I wanted to perform today.
Looks like the disc made the choice for me and performed, what I'm assuming, is the upgrade. All of my files, settings, etc. were intact after the reboot.
Did a search through here but couldn't find anything concrete. What are the differences between a fresh Snow Leopard install and a factory Snow Leopard install? I ask because I bought an Intel SSD and don't know if I should bother cloning the hard drive that will come with my new 15" MBP or I should just install a fresh copy from a Snow Leopard install disc. I'm aware macs come with next to no junk pre-installed, but are there some factory settings that are worth preserving if they aren't documented well?

I tried to install Snow Leopard on my MacBookPro but it cannot install and cannot be ejected. I need to eject.
The reason for this is a long story. My logic board was replaced and my Mac was wiped clean. I am not trying to recover from back up but could not figure out the next step after the recovery finished. So I tried to install OSX from the disk that came with my Mac. Probably not the right corrective action.
I need to remove the Snow Leopard DVD and finish my recovery.
Does any company make a laptop stand that holds the laptop in a vertical position for running in clamshell mode?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Mac. I feel I have been suitably rehabilitated from my former ways. I bought a MacBook Pro. It came with an installation disc for Leopard. I'm not sure if it's an image or if it's the OS install DVD. I bought a Mac Pro, quad Xeon 64 bit monster. The guy I bought it from had to retain the HDD for legal reasons. So, I bought a couple of drives that I'll slot in. Question: Can I use the install disc from my MacBook Pro to install Leopard on my Mac Pro?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have:
-one iMac with cracked screen -- currently being used via dual monitor setup
-one new MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard)
-a legitimate, family pack DVD for Leopard
I want to:
-reformat the iMac and install Leopard on the iMac via Target Mode/firewire using the DVD drive on my MBP
However, when I try to boot the MBP from the Leopard DVD, nothing happens.
I know this is kind of a mess, but it's the only viable solution I have been able to come up with. I can't install Leopard on the iMac from the Leopard DVD because I can't see the screen (due to the huge crack on my iMac) and it does not show up on the extra monitor.
Is there a way to safely force the MBP to boot from the Leopard install DVD?
