Do you know if the Intel GMA X4500HD is or will be supported? I have here two notebooks which would be interesting for me: Acer TravelMate 5720-602G16_XPP and Acer TravelMate 5730-842G25N The main reason for there notebooks is the long…

I'm wondering not very much people are using the XxX 10.5.6 image. I've tested it and it works perfect at the first installation. It even contains a Voodoo-based 9.6.0 kernel and Audio drivers for ALC1200 chipset. The only problem is that…

This thread should only be a info thread for problems and maybe wishes for the next update. Known problems: - Finder 10.5.8 may be defective, should be available as additional installation - Macbook keyboard preferences pane must be…

I found this collection of C64 graphics and wanted to share them with you. But it's not only a preview of great artists of the C64 scene, but also a demonstration for excellent programming. The most pictures shown here the C64's video…

A friend mailed me some information about a possible trojans which could be included in iWork '09 and Photoshop CS4 t*rrents. Take a look here. Sry, it's a Google translation. Anyway, how big is the danger of trojans and viruses in OS X? I…

Guide: How to create a very safe Mac OS X system This should be a guide for a very safe OS X system. I'm using it since my first OS X installation in 2006 and so I saved a lot of reinstallations. It makes a lot of use of the Disk Utility,…

like the title says, I'm searching things for a new system. I'm still using the same AMD Opteron 185 systems, 5 years after the forum was founded. They still work fine, upgraded to USB3 and SATA6, but the main problem is the software.…

Here's an article about the Disk Utility . Normally it stays lonely in the Utilities folder and is often overseen. But it's more than a harddisk formatter - it's an backup program, a burning program, an very effective archiver and much…

We already had a thread about our nicknames, but what about our avatars? Sometimes it's rather difficult so see. My main avatar is as you can see the Stargate which leads to new worlds to make new experiences. And its an invitation for a…

I wanted to ask the normal people about Apple. What do you think of their product palette, costs, support and so on. The guys in here which are owning a real Apple are totally pleased of them, but the most people in here don't have a real…

I wanted to start a poll of the cpu models we are using in the community. It's mainly because I'm using rather rare Opteron Server CPUs which may be different to consumer models and are perhaps 'forgotten' in some kexts or new kernel…

can anyone recommend me some WLAN USB sticks which are working on OSx86? A friend needs one... What is the better choice for stability? 54 Mbit or 108 Mbit?

What kind of experiences have you made with Crossover and its Game variant? How compatible is it? I use a few things that aren't available on the Mac and I don't want to boot in parallels all the time. Here are my tested programs:…

Does anyone know a method how to remove the Intel code from ALL system components of OS X? I need this for my Mac Mini G4 and my Powerbook. Apps like XSlimmer only trim Applications, not the system components. I read somewhere from a…

I noticed that my cpu is getting much warmer using 10.5.6. I'm using XxX 10.5.6 Final 2 actually. In cool state after the first powering on my Opteron 185 2x2,8 GHz has a temperature of 28°C/82°F. When booting in 10.5.3 it gets after a…

This thread should be about networking problems and informations, like onboard drivers, wireless and how to set up a Mac/Windows Network. Working USB wireless sticks should be listed here too. I often heard about the problems with the…

If you're searching for an Mac browser alternative take a look at iCab. The first thing: It's VERY small. It takes only 17,8 MB as Universal Binary and 7,5 MB as slimmed Intel program. All other common browsers are about 60 MB or more. And…

For any of you (and me) who had the problem that Toast or other programs crashed when 4 GB RAM are used, try the new 64bit adapted ATA/SATA drivers. There are also patched versions of AppleVIAATA.kext and JMicronATA.kext. For me it worked…

Let's open a little thread for hard disk experiences, especcially because there are very big harddisks available. Maybe somebody is using a Solid-State-HD. I'm using mostly Samsung and have on my Asus A8N-SLI Premium (about 2006) no…

Here's mal a big question: Is there anything what is really wrong in OS X? I know about 20-30 operating systems, and I must say, MacOS X is the perfect operating system. But is that true? What do you not like in MacOS X? I mean really…

It is / would it be possible to run 64bit programs on OSx86? This includes the question: Do we need it? Which programs make use of the 64bit bus width?

here you can post your results of an overclocked OS X system, stability, CPU temperature and so on. I'm not an overclocking freak, the idea started 'cause a friend has an Athlon 64 FX-57 which is used for overclocking, but the can't push…

Let's do this as a combined thread for WLAN drivers and problems. I want to use this first post as a download-page, so if you have anything what's working whisper it to me and I add it here. Of course I can't test all drivers, it would be…

I have iPC 10.5.6 Server working, but System Profiler shows no hardware information about my CPU. I replaced SPPlatformReporter and SPiPlatformReporter from an Retail DVD, they aren't working. Do I have to change some kexts to get it…

is it possible to activate the PCMCIA ports in Snow Leopard? It shouldn't be something special, I only want to use a 2-port USB card in it, the same one works in my Powerbook G4 without problems. Important is that the support for…

Has anyone heard about the 10.5.5 update? There's 9F32 in the Demon, sizie is 322MB. What I found out it theat it should solve some Airport problems and the graphics should be enhanced. But there's no fix for a bug in the Mail.app search…

Ever heard of the program Boxer? No? But maybe of DOSBox, an MS-DOS emulator for the Mac? Boxer is a special version which is specially made for games. It allows you to play the classic MS-DOS games which are often more fun than today's…

I know, I know, that's silly. But let's check out how multitasking-capable OSx86 guys are. I'm actually packaging ebay things, doing another Leo installation, checking the forum regularly and then I'm seeing little green men - a 6 hour…

I have some issues with Media Players and programs, they happen on Zephyroth's 10.5.1 RC2, 10.5.1 RC2 + Update and full 10.5.2 installation. The Leopard DVD Player isn't accepting mounted Video DVD images. If it detecs one (even if it's…

I have a Twin-SAT digital harddisk recorder Finepass FSR-5000 TDR plus, it has an USB 1.1 connector. The device is recognied in System Profiler, but the Mac doesn't know what do do with it. It has a standard ATA harddisk inbuild, so it…

I'm still working around with my Quicktime 7.6 problem. It's still much too slow! Everything except this is working fine - it's frustrating. While I was in the Activity Monitor, I tried the 'Sample Process' button, and this is what I got:…

here we can talk about BIOS settings. But first about the Toast thing, maybe it could help someone. Since I upgraded my Board to the Opteron 185 and 4 Gig RAM, I couldn't save or burn bigger (>1GB) toast images anymore, it always crashed…

Maybe we could set up a little list of Quicklook plugins. On Quicklookplugins.com are a lot, but not all links are working. Here are some more on Apfelquak. For some C64 plugins take a look here.

Today found an extension 'ATITVOut.kext'. I never noticed it because I removed all ATI* stuff exept for the X1000 Series drivers I need. I took a look inside the kext and found this entry: Hm, why not trying my ID? So I changed FFFF in…

Hi. here's a short question: My monitor preferences pane isn't working on my old Tiger installation anymore (Sound, Mouse/Keyboard aren't too). This was no problem on my TFT because it detects it's own native resolution but now i have that…

I have problems with two things on my A8N-E FM/S (nForce 4): The Bootloader isn't activated, it doesn't boot after the installation. If I'm booting using eith the DVD, the X1600 drivers seem not to be installed properly, I get no CI/QE.…

I accounted problems movies stuttering with Quicktime 7.5 (AMD patched), in bigger window sizes or fullscreen. I actally finished a 10.5.3 reinstallation of my whole system and wanted to test Logic, but the video in the project wasn't…

Is there any replacement for the nForce 4 HD driver? The actual AppleNForceATA is so amazingly slow, it's... I get an Xbench disk test of 54 on IDE and 41 on SATA. That's a big problem 'cause some software needs fast harddisk access. Is…

“@alxdabrazil: Open on your boot drive and look in /System/Library/CoreServices, there's the finder. replace it with a version from 10.5.5. To change the preferences pane, look in /System/Library/PreferencePanes and replace Keyboard.prefpane…”

“Could somebody check if the same errors I explained here are occuring on your system? I tested iDeneb 10.5.5 and updated with an unpatched 10.5.6 update and got the same problems in 'About this Mac' and System Profiler/Hardware. I tried an …”

“I have found some problems - 'About this Mac' shows 3.7 GHz Intel Core Solo - I know about the Core Solo, but why 3.7 GHz? In System Profiler in 'Hardware' nothing is diplayed. Say, was the original image from a Macbook? The Keyboard/Mouse …”

“So, I found a way to add an EFI String to my system, and my card is faster again, xbench shows over 240 against 220 with ATIinject. And I had to downclock my RAM, ATIiject was measured with DDR 400, EFI with DDR 333. I attached the xbench r…”

“Normally the Quicktime installer won't downgrade to a lower version. I can try to remove the installation check, but that's not the way it should be. If I'm using 10.5.6 I can't use Quicktime 7.4.5. It's curious why only me has this problem…”

“It's a nice image, the installation options are looking very good. Sadly the image isn't working for me, although I used both patches. My board components are suppoeted 100% since 10.4.6. The graphics screen is totally distorted at the begi…”

“@ aryajuanda: Is your system working without chipset drivers? What about these: AppleAC97Audio.kext AppleNForceATA.kext nForceLAN.kext skge.kext These kexts I need for my hardware in Leopard. Will they work in Snow Leo, too? Interesting wou…”

“The Dual-Layer image works best on an 8 GB USB Stick - an installation is finished in less than 10 minutes. But there are a lot of things to fix. I found the most things, but I still search a solution for the System Profiler problem.”

“Yeah I wasn't sure if i should post the links or not... first I didn't want to but otherwise some people don't want to PM everytime, it would have been easier this way.”

“So, I created a well looking Leo4All v3 image for USB. This installation image is older but in my opinion Leo4All v3 is the best image I ever had (of more than 25 since Tiger). If someone is interested, I have uploaded it to rapidshare, but…”

“If I use only -uw the drive is still not writeable. I tried -rw and -ruw. What are the differences?”

“I put Leo4All on the USB stick, it works until I change something in the Extensions. How can I recreate the Extensions.mkext file? kextcacche -k /System/Library/Extensions won't work, even if I boot in single user mode and set the stick to …”

“Maybe you should add a modded version: AndyTV If anyone has a suitable installer this would be great. Do you think it would work from an USB stick or an USB harddisk?”

“What about drivers for gfx, sound, chipset, WLAN, AMD support... I can imagine especially gfx is problematic if AppleTV is still Tiger-based and newer cards are only supported in Leopard.”

“I'm using an Apple Remote by using an eHome-compatible IR receiver (f.e. from a Windows Media Center Remote) and the software mira. But that's something different. I know the IR Receiver Emulator Andy was talking of, it was neccessary to in…”

“Would be nice if it would be supported with Chameleon 2.1 as seperate operating system!”

“I had it on my Tiger system, I can take a look if I still have the installer. But today it isn't neccessary anymore because FrontRow 2.x looks like AppleTV. I preferred the look of the FrontRow 1.x, it was looking much cooler with the big r…”

“Hm, I can't overclock my RAM, computer won't start then. But my RAM is 400 MHz without overclocking.”

“You have 333 MHz RAM? It is labeld 333 or does your board not like it? I had on my Asus boards various problems with different RAM types, I have always bundles with 3200 speed, but they only work in correct combinations. Are you using Dual-…”

“I'm not sure how to check the HT speed, but I've set the mulitiplier to 5x, so with my bus frequency of 220 MHz it should be 1100 MHz. I'll see what happens. Is anyone able to record the movement bugs?”

“It is recognized, System profiler doesn't show the infos correct. My system is also overclocked, from 2.6 to 2.86 Ghz.”

“What have you guys for power supplies? My PSU has only 480W. Seems not very much, but the combined power (3,3+5V) is 384W! Various PSUs have a lot higer maximum watts, (550, 650 and so on) but much less combined power. My 550W RaptoXX had o…”

“By the way, what are you using for cpus? I'm using an Opteron 185, it's a Dual Core Server CPU with 1 MB Level-2-Cache per cpu. The most Athlon 64 X2 cpus have only 512K Level-2-Cache. I still believe it's a Photoshop / Adobe problem, all u…”

“Here are my test results: 3471 of 3471 tests successfully, 49 to go. After this it hang in an enless loop in Selftest 7, but that issue was described in the readme file, it also could happen on real macs. Here's a screenshot, here's the log…”

“If it's an software/kernel error which appears at mathematical problems, then Photoshop could be affected because it's using a lot of these functions. So also rendering programs must have this problem, resulting by crashes or incorrect grap…”

“It also must be a problem depending on the hardware. My Dual Core Opteron 185 (2 x 2.86 GHz overclocked) works absolutely perfect. Firefox quits sometimes, but otherwise I have no problems. I'm running Leo4All V3 + 10.5.3 update by ASU. The…”

“If Transmission and Firefox fails, could the network driver be a problem? What are you using? I'm actually using skge.kext because I had problems with the old forcedeth driver. The forcedeth-v driver is working without problems.”

“This was in August 2006, so maybe 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 = 8.4.1 or 8.8.1 kernel. And only two posts... that won't work here, the kernel is totally different now. What shows System Profiler on your system? It's 1 cpus and 1 cores for me.”

“I think it is a board/ram/cpu issue. Puttabongs and my Dual-Core system are working without problems. My system has maybe a speciality: I installed it on a single-core computer with the same board and restored the image on my dual-core mach…”

“I only have the problem that Firefox crashes rather often. Version 2 and 3.”

“I presume it's for H y PET hreading. But the option notsc ? I have no idea for this.”

“Do you always use the flag cpus=2 ? I don't use it. Is your system gettin slower by disabling HPET ?”

“Have you tested a second time? I'm not sure that these erros are because of the BIOS setting and the -legacy flag. Man, I'm working with Logic and it works! Only Firefox seems to crash the system sometimes.”

“can't understand it, it works great on my Opteron. Have you tried boot option -legacy? This are my com.apple.boot.plist settings: Kernel mach_kernel Kernel Flags -legacy Timeout 3 I deleted ALF.kext on my system, also all other gfx drivers …”

“What kind of motherboard do you have? EDIT: Found it in your account infos. Which version is it? there are three different. EDIT2: Here is the manual for the version GA-K8NF-9-RH. I presume the BIOS versions are rather similar. EDIT3: I Che…”

“Vony1x: You also have a Socket AM2 board I presume. Could this be a problem, maybe because of the DDR2 RAM? Puttabong and me have Socket 939 and it's working fine here. Have you disabled Cool'n'Quiet in the BIOS? I have it enabled.”

“Can you reduce the CPU clock speed in the BIOS? As I o'clocked my system to 3.06 GHz (on 10.5.2) it crashed, couldn't boot anymore. On 10.5.3 I can't have to stay beneath 3 GHz. The actual Macs also only have 3.06 Ghz max, could the high cp…”

“No, the update from 10.5.1 -> 10.5.3 was not working. I have always errors on loginwindow, atsserver and mds.”

“Only for comparison. Maybe I can try the same settings, but I presume your total CPU frquency (bus*multiplier) is higher than I can set mine. Wow, Zephyroth's Updater found 132 cpuids in the combined 10.5.3 update. It's 549 MB in size.”
