Basically during installations, everything is reverting to French, even after switching to English I still get French menus like below. I did at some point have a dual language/keyboard option for English and French but now all French options are entirely unselected in every menu, preference etc..

Is there any way I can revert to mail 4.5 from 5.2? Do I have to reinstalle Leopard all together?

I have a 2010 mini that shipped with Snow Leopard. I hooked up to my TV with display set at 1080p and had no problems for a year and a half. I just installed Lion, though, and a few times now, when the computer wakes up from sleep, it has changed to a lower resolution. I can go back into System Preferences and change it back, but I don't think I should have to. This is a Mac, after all.

I have 3 Macs within my family that I would like to upgrade to SL. Sounds like the Family Pack upgrade would be a great purchase.
However, if at some point, I want to reinstall SL on a SL-loaded machine, do I need to reinstall Leopard, to get Snow Leopard to recognize the upgrade?
Or will SL allow installations of SL directly?
I have a Mac Pro and am having several annoying problems. I'm new to Macs and I probably messed up my installation so I would like to start from scratch and reinstall Leopard on a brand new drive. Here's my question.. I would like to remove the old drive from bay 1 and replace it wit the new drive. After I install Leopard on the new drive can I put the old drive in the currently empty bay 4? Will I then be able to boot into either drive? The reason being that until I get the new installation configured properly and all my applications reinstalled, I may need access to the old installation. If this scenario will work, how do I select which volume to boot at start up?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to back up your Windows install on your Mac? I have True Image v11, but for some reason it does not see my C drive*. I recently tried Winclone a Mac program and while free, after backing up my Windows install, Windows would no longer boot until after I repaired the OS using the Windows Install DVD. Any suggestions for a better way to backup Windows?
Finally I have both Windows 32bit and 64 bit Vista install disks. I'm going to resist 7 for now, but is there any good reason to upgrade Windows 32bit to 64bit and would it break anything on a current 32bit install? I do a lot of gaming. Thanks!
*Update: TI sees the C drive as a Windows Dynamic drive which is unsupported.
I am looking for an application that will check what the application installation installs. In other words, it keeps a log of created files/folders by the installation- so when I uninstall I can easily uninstall all the files/folders created by the application.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to install OS X.5 on a new HD that I just installed into a Black MacBook... the DVDs are coming from an Aluminum MacBook. I have already formatted (Partitioned [1]) the HD so that it is in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and it's in GUID Partition Table Scheme. I restart the Laptop and it asks me what language I want to install OS X in, I pick English, and it stalls for about 30 seconds and then says: "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer."
View 3 Replies View RelatedI own a 13 inch Macbook Pro from 2010 which originally came installed with Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Over the course of my use of this macbook I upgraded it to Lion 10.7. Recently I made the decision to go back to SL and popped the OS X disc in (the disc it came with). The install of SL went fine and I didn't notice a problem until I rebooted into the new install and went to install iLife from the DVD that came with my Mac.
As soon as I enter my password into the installer and it begins the install process, it fails with a big yellow exclamation mark, simply saying the install failed. The same thing happened with my downloaded 10.6.8 combo update, so this proves it cannot be an issue with the DVD drive.
The only thing I can think of is that the OS X disc appeared scratched, so this may have resulted in a faulty install which meant it could then not allow the 10.6.8 update or iLife to be installed...

From the few posts that I have read, it looks like Mac also utilizes an admin account for installations, etc. and a standard account for the rest of the time. True? I was hoping that it is not true as it can be a pain, albeit a necessary pain.

Can the files on there be seen through the administrators account? If so, how would you hide that sort of thing so that the when the admin inputs the file name into finder, nothing shows up?
View 17 Replies View RelatedI have PowerMac G4, 1.25Ghz PowerPC, 1.25GB Ram, OSX 10.3.9 and want to use my HP 5300c scanner. I installed the HP Image Zone Ver 9.1.2 software that at least on the surface seemed to install the drivers. I am able to see the device on USB through both System Profile USB and Tech Tool pro 4. I suspect an HP driver installation problem or incorrect Driver /compatibility issue. How to verify the correct installation of the drivers, where to go to ensure that I have the correct drivers. There is no way to download software directly from HP, only through oexternal links into the HP site. If anyone knows of the correct links for the 10.3.x drivers, or have any other suggestions as to what they have done to get their HP ScanJet 5300c to work with Power PC G4 with OSX 10.3.x. I last used the HP 5300c with my iBook G3 under OS9, though that was a pain due to CP conflicts - Luckily I still use conflict catcher - and now I need to use it with the G4 under OSX.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a white MacBook. I tried to update my 10.5.8 Leopard installation to Snow Leopard with the upgrade DVD I just got. Unfortunately, update failed on me. After being noticed by the installer that the update failed, I ended up with a NON-BOOTABLE MacBook, that whenever I try to boot from hard drive, after showing me 30 seconds of the "spinning ball" that indicates activity, shuts down. I tried it like 10 times, same result. What happens if I boot from DVD and try an installation that way? Will it try to upgrade? Will it wipe my hard drive content?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince Mac OS X Tiger, you can listen to your computer with VoiceOver's help.Basically, you define trigger key strokes in the Preferences Pane and the system generate an utterance of the text you've selected in your document.For the rest of us, because of the localisation, Mac OS X does not come up with the same polish.Similarly, the Dictionary.app displays a fine New Oxford American Dictionary. Even when you purchased your mac in a non-English speaking European country, like France.

I would like to purchase music from the French i-tunes store. The music is not available in the US store. I was told I have to be a resident of France, with a French Credit Card and adderss. Seems rediculous in a world market to not allow electronic download purchases across the pond. At the very least the French artists should be listed on the us site too. I suspect the "cloud" has plenty of room.

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I'm selling my iMac to buy a MacBook. The MacBook (2008 uMB) has arrived, with all the discs etc, which is brilliant.
My iMac however, came preloaded with Tiger, with a Leopard upgrade disc in the box. This Leopard disc has disappeared off the face of the planet, and so Apple are shipping one out to me, not sure when it will arrive. In the meantime, my auction ends tomorrow, so would it be possible to restore the iMac using the Leopard discs that have come with the MacBook, or is it safer to reinstall Tiger, and wait for the Leopard disc to arrive before shipping?
Is there a Mac application to translate French to/from English? The translation utility is useful, but I want something which can do Word documents, PDFs, etc. Google Language is OK, but has its limitations.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn one document in MS Word 2004, the language keeps reverting to French. I try resetting both the default language and the language choice as English (Tools > Language...), however, rather quickly it reverts back to French. This messes up the spell check. What can I do to keep it on English? (With a google search, I did find a 2005 post that mentions this as a systemic problem. But that forum didn't seem to offer a solution: [URL:....] Has this been settled elsewhere?)Second problem, perhaps related. MS Word automatically corrects some spelling as I type. However, in the document with the French problem, the text is being corrected in a weird way. It's not accepting a semi-colon ; next to a word. Instead, it inserts a space between the word and the semi-colon. What's that all about and how do I change it? Are these problems related?
