Reinstalling OS X-10.5 -without losses, (again)
Please restate the technical issues and procedures for reclaiming full functionality AFTER reinstalling the original OS boot disc (10.5.1) on a Mac PPC. I was able to import USER settings (from cloned drive having the same MAIN user name, but it's of limited size and functionality.)
In this application I am the sole administrator. But, I need our employees to have complete access to the Address Book (client base) the Mac eMail, (client comm.) the iTunes, (massive user library,) and the Media production apps, including CS4, iMovie, artsy fonts, etc.
A new folder now appears on the desktop following an alert that some (1) of the 'Admin' user settings could not be imported and to be sure I had royally gimped permissions while trying to unlock everything from the users pref. screenTitle: Basesystem.pkg.1550dnpy1
The other go to folder for retrieving critical settings is titled Prenvious Systems. By trial and error I've nearly figured out how to rebuild anew. But I still haven't been told what I can delete in what order, thus I'm knee deep in back-ups and cloned versions. And, yes, I know there is no point in not buying a Mac made to run High Sierra. We've been all over that last week at my local Apple Store.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Gee, I could have had an Intel*
