I am trying to install OSX 10.6 on a 17" MacBookPro 4,1 with a Core2 Duo. But the install says, "Mac OSX 10.6 cannot be installed on this computer."
Any ideas why or, better yet, workarounds?
Eclipse doesn't start anymore. I get a dialog box that points me to a log file with the following entry:

I did clean up my font list in Font Book by disabling duplicate fonts. I also upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.2.
We have a Windows server, with OSX 10.5 and 10.6 clients. On the server, are some Automator workflows with custom icons stored in external resoruce fork files, like this:
foo.wflow
._foo.wflow
The custom icons are only visible to the 10.5 clients.
Hi all,
since updating my Flash Player plugin from 10 to 10.1, I'm seeing a weird crash when accessing shared objects. Flex Builder's debugger pops up and prints a stack trace like this:
undefined
at flash.net::SharedObject$/getLocal()
at my.code::MyClass$/load()[/my/path/to/my/MyClass.as:27]
(...)
This happens when calling SharedObject.getLocal("someString") for the second time for the same string, though it doesn't always crash. When using another browser on the same machine (not configured as the preferred debugging browser in Flex Builder), Flash Player remains silent. The code is wrapped in a try/catch(Error) block which does not catch this error. I'm using Flex SDK 3.5 and Flex Builder 3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3. Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks, Simon
I am using either Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04 and trying to SSH into OSX 10.6.
Using Vim color schemes, I can emulate the colors on xterm-256 color on Linux and gVim on Windows. However, I would like the colors to follow through when I am SSHing onto the OSX. The default terminal, however, does not support xterm-256color.
Is there a way to have OSX use iterm2 by default, to accept all SSH requests instead of terminal.app? If not, is there a way to install xterm-256color into the default terminal?
Upgrading to Lion is out of the question at this point. Thank you!
I'm trying to setup the built-in VPN client with OS X.
The settings I'm using (IPsec GW, shared secret, etc...) work flawlessly using other clients (IPsecuritas, vpnc, etc...) but isn't working with the built-in client. The error I get is:
Wrong shared secret
(not the exact message, since OS X is localized)
The shared secret is 128 chars long so I'm wondering if it's hitting a length limit. I would like to know if that's true, and if so, how I could overcome it?

I used to access my local Windows 2008 file server's SMB shares on my recent (3 weeks old) MacBook Pro without problems. However, for a few days now, it fails to (re-)connect to the server after it woke up from sleep mode.
Finder just shows "connecting..." and hangs indefinitely. The same thing happens when I try it from the command line (mount -t smbfs). This happens via both WiFi and cable, I also tried turning networking off and back on. The only thing that helps is a reboot.
Any hints?
Telnet from my mac OSx doesn't work while it works from the AWS instances and other networks. I have no local firewalls. Nothing related in /var/log/system

I've enabled file sharing (AFP) on my iMac so that I can access it via our MacBook. I've also created a directory ~/shared/family that I have shared to specific user accounts.
When I use the Finder on my MacBook, I see my iMac computer listed, and I can see my ~/Public directory on the iMac, but I can't see ~/shared/family.
How do I authenticate from my MacBook to my iMac? That seems like it's the missing step.
I've installed byobu in Mac OS X 10.6.5. It will start, (i.e. it will start a screen session) but in order to run byobu-config and probably in order to do some other things I need a module called snack which apparently is part of python newt.
pip search newt and pip search snack return no results. newt and snack aren't in MacPorts or Brew either.
I haven't found anything online in my searching with respect to installing newt on Mac OS X.
Has anyone else been able to install byobu and newt in Mac OS X?
I found this Q&A (http://superuser.com/questions/148849/backup-mounted-drive-of-an-image-in-time-machine) and this prompted me to ask the following question:
I have two disk images which are scripted to be mounted on login. These two disk images are always mounted to the same location. These two disk images are encrypted TrueCrypt volumes.
Time Machine (TM) will only back up the disk images the first time they are mounted, but not after that. As I modify documents within the volumes throughout the day, the modified timestamps are adjusted properly. However, TM does not back them up. TM never backs up the mount points which are two folders within my home directory.
Any ideas as to why neither the mount point or the image files are backed up? Do the image files have to be closed (unmounted) after being modified for TM to back them up?
Thanks,
Chris
I have a document open in Apple's Pages '09, and for some reason I can't italicize the words. The button for italicize simply doesn't work, but Bold and Underline does. Is there any generic solution to this problem? Restarting Pages doesn't work, and the problem only exists in one document.
Thanks
I tried upgrading the version of LibXML2 in my machine to run some propietary software. Compiled as 32-bit (-arch i386) and restarted to see if it worked. Now when I try to boot I can only get into the spinning screen and it just sits there.
Restarting in verbose mode (Cmd-V) does not show any error in the process, it just freezes after "AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: initialization complete". I can't from any CD either (if I press c on startup it just spins the disk around and then stops in the same spinner screen).
I've also reset the PRAM/NVRAM to discard any problems with that and it´s still not fixed.
Any pointers of what might´ve gone wrong?
(Latest gen MBP, running 10.6.3)
I installed Nginx using homebrew and after completing the installation the following message was displayed:
In the interest of allowing you to run `nginx` without `sudo`, the default
port is set to localhost:8080.
If you want to host pages on your local machine to the public, you should
change that to localhost:80, and run `sudo nginx`. You'll need to turn off
any other web servers running port 80, of course.
You can start nginx automatically on login running as your user with:
mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
cp #{prefix}/org.nginx.nginx.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.nginx.nginx.plist
Though note that if running as your user, the launch agent will fail if you
try to use a port below 1024 (such as http's default of 80.)
But I want Nginx, on port 80, running at login and I don't want to have to open terminal and type in sudo nginx to do it. I want it to load from a plist file like Redis and PostgreSQL do.
I moved the plist to /Library/LaunchAgents/ from the user folder equivalent and changed its ownership, also tried setting the user directive in the nginx.conf file and still the same error message in Console.app:
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (13: Permission denied)
(along with another message telling me that since nginx was being run without super-user privileges, the user directive was being ignored)
I have a few cases in which I get the name of the same app twice in the contextual menu. How can I clean the contextual menu to not display duplicate names.
Hi,
Excuse such a basic question... I am a Laptop Fixer and deal with Windows based laptops only but very recently took in a 13" MacBook Pro for a re-install of the OS (easy I thought!)
I inserted the Install DVD, held the C button and turn on. I could hear the disk spinning up and after about a min the DVD is ejected. There are a few scratches on the DVD but should be ok as not that deep.
However, Windows Vista was installed (it failed to install properly hence the re-install of Mac OS). Should I wipe clean and format the hard disk first? Could this be the reason the DVD is ejected?
Any advice would be gratefully accepted?
p.s. never held a MacBook Pro before... first impressions, wow... alu casing and massive touch pad... and the magnetic power socket.... so impressed and it doesn't even work!
I am using (and loving) OS X's Dashboard in dev mode ('defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES') which lets you put the widgets on your desktop directly.
The only downside is the widgets are "always on top". So all windows end up going under the widgets instead of above. Is there any way to disable this?
I'm trying to configure SVN server on OS X 10.6.2 via Apache2. Whenever I enable the module in Wev - Settings - Services then try accessing the site, it fails. So I attempted an apachectl configtest and I'm getting a crazy amount of errors:
httpd: Syntax error on line 132 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so, 10): Symbol not found: _dav_add_response\n Referenced from: /usr/libexec/apache2/mode_dev_fs.so\n Expected in: flat namespace\n in /usr/livexec/apache2/mod_dav_fs.so
When I attempt disabling the related services and enabling then one by one (dav_fs_module, dav_module, dav_svn_module and authz_svn_mod each seems to fail.
What the heck. :-(
Thanks in advance,
Dave
I'm unable to get static routes to persist a reboot on Mac OS 10.6.5. I've tried all of the methods prescribed in Google search results, and previous posts on this site. I've tried manually creating a launchd daemon, and used RouteSplit's launchd daemon to no avail. It's clear that the interface is not ready when these methods attempt to apply the route. This workstation in question is getting its IP from DHCP and probably hasn't gotten its DHCP lease when the command runs. We're able to apply the route by hand when logged in, but not through startup methods. Is there another way to apply this route by sneaking the command into something later, but before the login window appears to the user?
Here is some relevant log info from system.log. You can see the "route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable" errors where my launchd script fires off. I've tried adding extra "sleep" and "ipconfig waitall" statements later in the script but this doesn't fly.

Hi there
This is exactly like how our network looks like:
Single server with a network router
Everything is setup, but I cannot connect our Macs under the Login Options - Join... to this server. Our server's name is Toolbox and I have tried Toolbox.local, Toolbox.private, prepended the afp:// protocol to the name, but nothing, our Macs just don't want to connect this way. Our router has DHCP and gives out all the IP addresses naturally, would I have to add Toolbox.local to the DNS on the router and like it via static internal IP to the server?
Our Macs keep giving the following error while trying to join the Network Account Server:
Unable to add server
Could not resolve the address (2200)
What am I doing wrong?
We've got two Macs that are both running 10.6.6. On my MBP, Adobe (Acrobat) Reader started behaving weird a few weeks ago. It became very sluggish, started missing mouse clicks or mouse button releases, scrolling was next to impossible. Most of the time it does not handle Page Up / Page Down events at all. Zooming works erratically if at all. It's basically unusable. On the other Mac (an iMac), there are no such problems. I've tried to remove and reinstall Adobe Reader as well as upgrading to the latest version, but unfortunately without success. This is the only software that is behaving strangely on this Mac, everything else is working fine. What else could I try?
I just updated to Mac App Store 1.0.2 with the update to 10.6.8.
The Mac App Store said I have one update available, for Angry Birds....
I do not have Angry Birds on my system, but when I clicked the update button I got the following message.
"You have updates available for other
accounts. Sign in to
[email protected] to update
applications for that account."
Needless to say this account does not exist. Any ideas what this is all about?
So I am a small mac-user cog in a larger windows-based network machine. The network here works fine for most everyone else (on PCs), but I have random timeouts and issues with the Wifi.
Luckily, I have identified a few problem access points by MAC address (via their log messages in Console.app).
Is it possible to tell my Airport on my Macbook to avoid those access points, and only speak with the access points who are far less touchy about me drinking the Apple kool-aid?
All of the points are on the same network SSID.
