And if you're using Firefox instead, you can use either AdBlockPlus or
uBlock Origin.
Personally, I used ABP for a while, but then I switched to UBO because I had
problems with the former, besides UBO seems less resource-hungry and it's
Open Source (always a plus in my book).

Hi Fred,

You are actually running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

If you’re using Chrome, go to the Chrome web Store and download the extension 
Adblock Plus from adblockplus.org <http://adblockplus.org/>. It’s about the 
best ad blocker there is.

Re: Running Snow Leopard Server

2016-12-03 Thread Bruce Johnson
Not as far as I know. Apple specifically allowed virtualization of SL Server, 
provided it was running on an OS X host, so all three VM programs will prevent 
you from installing the client SL.

That said, the major differences between Server and Client were the additional 
GUI server tools for  managing the various services and the removal of the 
simultaneous AFS connection limit in client.

Aside from not being able to provide more than 10 simultaneous AFS file service 
connections, client can run any server service that Server can, you just have 
to use traditional Unix command-line tools to manage and configure them.

This 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Server#Mac_OS_X_Server_10.6_.28Snow_Leopard_Server.29>
 
lists the underlying services, in the ‘Technial Specs’ section of what OSS 
tools are used for services in OS X Server.

10.2 is slow. Panther and Tiger are a lot better. 

As far as I know there isn't. Even if there was it would be so dreadfully slow 
you would want to throw it out the window. OS 10.2 felt slow on my 400 MHz iMac

No there isn't. There may be a G3-optimized Darwin, but OS X is a microkernel 
architecture; 'customized kernel' is something from monolithic kernel 
architectures like Linux. You cannot get around the fact that 10.5 makes system 
calls to hardware that does not exist on a G3 CPU.

   A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) 
processor
512 MB memory or more
A DVD drive for installation
9 GB of available disk space or more 
However, you could try to put something like 10.2 ( Jaguar) on it, but that's 
just about as far as I would go.

There are 4 400MHz G3 iMacs 3 have Firewire ports If you have a F/W port then 
make a Carbon Copy Clone of the 10.5 system and use Target Disk Mode with a 
Fire Wire cable to transfer the cloned file to the G3, Good luck getting it to

You can't. It's not merely impractical, it's not possible.

Leopard on PPC requires Altivec, which is only present in the G4 and above..

Aussie snow leopard con't......

2012-05-06 Thread madamekelly
Well after spending 4 days and $1,100 for upgrades, exterior hard
drive, Ipad, and additional USB ports, I was contacted by Apple
corporation today. It seems that they record the tech support calls,
and when my call from Monday evening was reviewed, they found an error
in the information I was given. The real reason that the
aforementioned "aussie disc" was spit out when inserted, was  because
I needed to upgrade to leopard first. Since I spent money based on
their statements, they will be giving me leopard for free, and
refunding the money I spent on the extra snow leopard software! They
are even going to do all the work for me, to apologize. What a
company! Thank you all for all of your assistance. You are all very
special people. (You were smart enough to buy a mac!)  Thank you so
much. -Kelly

BTW- You were all right, Aussie discs do work in America! Silly tech
support fella!

G'day all

First, Kelly, I'm sorry the disk did not mount. It's been used a lot in the 
past, and may be scratched, or have finger prints on it. Try cleaning it with a 
cotton rag or clothing.

Second, Chris, the disk is an original Snow Leopard install disk, in the 
original box.

When I insert the disk into my imac, it sounds like it is going to
work, then after about a minute, it is ejected. No icon, nothing. I
just ordered a new one. Wish me luck.

I did add an external hard drive to backup all of my files before
starting this process. While backing up my files, I somehow "lost" my
I-tunes folder with 3455 songs on it!  After a complete personal
meltdown, I started searching the hard drive and found the folder in
my apps file, thank God.  I do appreciate all of you who have offered
your kind assistance. If you look up "Compudufus" in the urban

Well, the most common error with this is that Mail will  
automagically enter your username and password, and attempt to use  
authenticated SMTP; if your ISP doesn't support that, then sending  
mail will fail, even though Connection Doctor says it's OK.


I've never allowed Mail to do this.  I always enter a bogus password  
so it will fail and force manual configuration because I don't have  
reason to believe that automatic setup is making a secure connection.



Finally this is why I love, Love LOVE!!!11!Eleventy!! IMAP mail.

Got a problem with an account on a machine? Just delete it, and  
recreate it. All the mail lives on the server so you don't lose  
anything.


Deleting a message from an IMAP mailbox in Mail (at least in Leopard)  
is not Undo-able.  Sure, you can fish it out of the Trash, if you know  
which one it was and can find it, but that's not Undo.

Well, the most common error with this is that Mail will automagically enter 
your username and password, and attempt to use authenticated SMTP; if your ISP

Double check with your ISP all the correct SMTP settings (you can edit these in

dropdown menu.

Delete the outgoing server, and re-add it (in the same place you check the 
settings.)

If it still doesn't work, download and install Thunderbird and see if that 
works, if it does, re-apply the latest *Combo* update for your OS. This may fix 
what's broken with Mail. You can delete thunderbird if you want, after that.

Finally this is why I love, Love LOVE!!!11!Eleventy!! IMAP mail. 

Got a problem with an account on a machine? Just delete it, and recreate it. 
All the mail lives on the server so you don't lose anything.

Also I can always read all my email whether I'm using my work desktop, my home

I do not know if I can help, but somebody here might be able to if you
provide more details.  Are you attempting to use the Apple Mail client
or something else?  If SMTP does not work, that means you cannot
receive.  But can you "send" e-mails?

First thing -- Are you giving the initial connection process enough
time?  I mean lots and lots of time!  Maybe even 10 minutes or so.  As
I recall, when I upgraded from Panther to Leopard (no Tiger in
between), Leopard's Apple Mail was working a long time with the ISP
for authentication with each of my two accounts.  It was driving me
nuts!  After the first connection, things worked very well.  Check
your ISP for their authentication requirements and any coaching they
can give you to connect with Leopard.  Some ISPs are excellent in
helping out, even to detailed instructions at their web site or by
phone.  Other ISPs???

Did this computer work with e-mail before the upgrade?  If yes, and
you have stored old e-mails in mailboxes, do not delete the account in
your client, unless you back it up on another media.  If you delete
the old account, you will lose access to the old mail.  Before the
Leopard upgrade, what version of OS 9 or OS X were you using?  What
mail client?  After the upgrade, can you access your old e-mail?  Can
you access your e-mail account at the ISP via their web mail?  Does
sending and receiving work that way?  You can try a test with a new e-
mail account at the ISP and create a corresponding new account in your
mail client.  If the test account works with new name and password,
then you know the system is working.  Before the upgrade, did you copy
by hand all the mail client account settings and use the same exact
settings after the upgrade?

If this does not help, please give us more of your troubleshooting
details.

Leopard yes it will run it just fine (with at least 1GB ram) , Snow Leopard not

run snow leopard if poss and at least leopard, can this be done? Has
anyone tried it ? Read the interesting input ref Tiger but I am not
paying £150 for a copy of Tiger which has zero support when I can

this machine which could stop me?

Re: Leopard on a 2x450 PowerMac

2010-12-01 Thread Steven
I understand what you mean, but in my case I was referring to things like 
PowerBook specific code being left out of the iMac disk (just a hypothetical 
example), and so on. Apple didn't remove PowerPC code until Snow Leopard, even 
from Intel builds, which is why installing Snow Leopard opens up a couple 
gigabytes of free space. Also, I was just saying that misterbleepy's logic was 
reasonable. I don't know any details about the various machine-specific disks 
other than the fact that certain disks will refuse to install on machines other 
than the ones they were designed for.

Either you can use Leopardassist, which gets you a 933 MHz processor
temporarily, or you can use my technique, but I have to find this first. The
technique is manual and has to be done through OF. Also, this one (as I have
tested) has a limit of 9.99GHz speed... but I can give you the code to use.
I just have to find it first. I have had Leopard on my G4 1x400 sawtooth for
about a year with maxed specs and it runs fine, so I am very sure your
machine can handle leopard.

That sounds right. If you'll remember, when Snow Leopard came out one of the 
biggest improvements was gigabytes of hard drive space freed up, since there 
was no more doubled PowerPC code. I think it is reasonable to assume that a

Here's the procedure:

http://lowendmac.com/osx/leopard/openfirmware.html

Another way I have used is to put the low spec machine in target disk
mode, then attaching it to a Mac that is in spec, and installing it
using that Mac, but putting the install on the external disk (i.e. the
disk of the Mac in target disk mode). The in-spec Mac would have to be
a PPC machine - if it were an Intel machine, you need to go through an
intermediary step of installing to an external drive, and then cloning
that drive to the low-spec Mac (this is because OSX will only install
on a GUID partition when the installer is run on Intel hardware, and
PPC Macs don't do GUID partitions)

Sorry for replying so late, but I just realized that your description sounds a

glowing blues.

After looking at it again, mine probably wouldn't work so well as an interface, 
since the letters in the menu and title bars are too hard to read. You have 
some interesting ideas, I think I may have even seen something similar for

because i want to make my iMac G4  look like it has a beta build of OS X

I guess my phrasing was a little misleading. "Aquamakeover" is the one that is 
hard to find. A-Dock is still available online, here is the homepage:

http://jerome.foucher.free.fr/ADock/ADock.html

One thing I really like about it is that you can set a key combination to 
switch it on and off, just like the control strip. That way, you can bring it 
up only when you need it without cluttering up your desktop or overlapping the 
control strip (I usually have the control strip hidden unless I need to use one 
of the modules or check my battery life, but when I do use it it is nice to be 
able to get rid of the dock). Of course, you can also set it to hide and show 
automatically like the OS X dock, if you prefer that, but then it will pop up 
every time the cursor hits the bottom of the screen.

I know of one that was made way back when, and apparently it only goes as far 
as Jaguar. If I remember correctly it is a Kaleidoscope theme called 
"Aquamakeover" and since Apple cracked down on unauthorized use of the Aqua 
appearance it is very hard to find nowadays. When combined with A-Dock, an 
implementation of the OS X dock for OS 8 and OS 9, it actually provides a 
somewhat convincing appearance (a few years ago I was able to fool a couple of 
classmates into thinking I was running Leopard on a 1995 PowerBook 5300ce, 
though not for long). I'm not sure where you could find it though.

Somehow I doubt that. For one thing, even the experimental custom built million 
dollar Ultra High Definition Television sets only display a resolution of 
7680x4320, which can require as much as twenty-four gigabytes per second of 
bandwidth, so I have no idea where you could have found that kind of television 
or HDMI cable(s), let alone a graphics card for such an outdated computer. And 
even more importantly, even at 32" a screen resolution of 8600x6400 would 
result in a 308 pixels per inch screen, almost as much as an iPhone 4's Retina 
Display, meaning that you would need to sit centimeters away from the screen to 
see normal 12 point text. Either that was a joke or you made an incredible typo.

That's the way I work too. I don't just have a "Cars" folder in my Wallpapers 
section, not even just "American Cars" or "Sedans," but folders like "1960s 
Sedans" and "1980s Muscle Cars," leading down a long, winding path of folder 
hierarchy. It may seem obsessive compulsive, and it is quite a hassle when I 
need to go through and organize it every once in a while, but none of that 
matters when I decide "you know what, I want my desktop picture to be a 1973 
Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight" and I can immediately find the right picture.

Well, earlier i had an ATI Radeon 9800 pro card in it that had 128MB of RAM,
but my jeff's friend has expirience in soldering things, and he was able to
give me a 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5300 card that goes into AGP. The only drawback
though is that it was meant for AGP 8x and the sawtooth can only use it at
AGP 2x or 4x speeds.

it currently has 1GB of Video RAM.

Anal-retentive that I am, I do download all those desktop pics
manually and sort them them by size for my different computers and/or
monitors. Then of course I sort them out by themes, and so forth. It
is time-consuming, and I agree that it is unnecessary in most cases.
But that's just me.

I have a collection of fractal desktop pictures (to go with Electric

"Stretch to fit" produces interesting results...

Nope it's auld skool Mac user behavior: drag-n-drop, let the computer figure 
all of it out. 

I drag the pictures from the web site (Safari, NetNewsReader (all three sites 
have RSS feeds) and (iirc) Firefox all let you do this) into a desktop alias to 
my '/Users/johnson/Pictures' folder. This lets me drag a picture at any time, 
from anywhere...several of them are from my own iPhoto library, too. Wikimedia 
is another source of lots of really neat pictures.

With the APOD and Earth Observatory pics, sometimes I use the picture on the 
main page, sometimes I use the larger ones linked...it depends; sometimes the 
pic on the main page is a cropped version of the larger one (especially Landsat 
pics on the Earth Observatory page) showing just the cool bits.

I've got my desktop settings to 'Fill Screen' or 'Fit to Screen' (not 'stretch 
to fit' because that does all sorts of odd things), and set it to change every 
hour and choose randomly. 

I just ignore the details of the dimensions, size etc. The computer takes care 
of it. Oftimes the pictures are smaller than the screen resolution, but OS X 
scales them pretty well, actually, so they don't look too bad; if one looks 
really bad I just pull it out of the folder.

It's too much work to worry about it manually, vastly easier to just let the 
computer do all the scutwork for me...this is why we invented the damn things.

That can be fixed as well either using a terminal command that I do not 
know, or simply by replacing 'DefaultDesktop.jpg' in Core Services. I 
always modify the login bg with my name and contact info should it be 
lost or stolen, and the small login window itself too.
