How come FN +F6 doesn't work for me? iTunes still play even the mute icon when I pressed FN+F6. what is the correct setting for sound? where did you get the modified AppleAzaliaAudio extension?

[robbmc]

I'm having a couple of small issues, nothing major, just wondering if anyone has an easy solution...

I am still waiting for my dell1490 to arrive and in the meantime I would use the data connection on my Sony Ericsson w910i for connecting to the internet. However on the final stage of setup the dialog froze and now when I power up the bluetooth icon is faded and I cannot turn it on. It still shows up in system profiler. Any ideas?

[edit] I finally figured it out, I simply removed the device and when I clicked to adda new device it gave me the option to turn bluetooth back on. I managed to get osx to use my phone's 3G connection, this'll do until my card shows up

And also... it seems as though osx thinks the trackpad is in a 4:3 ratio and so tracking vertically moves and little faster than tracking horizontally, anybody noticed this? No big deal, just a little annoying. I am going to use this as an excuse to install a touch screen

Dear Mysticus C*,

first a big compliment to you for your hard work. I ´ve a small Problem. After installing the latest iso (..Mysticus.iso) via externel drive when i try to boot OSX in the bootloader it starts to load(white screen, apple logo and the loading animation) and loads and loads... After 30 min it´s just loading but the welcome screen doesn´t appear. I have tried several times, checked your guide , checked the bios options, but nothing helps;(

Please can you help me?

Thanks in advance

darkgemini: I have the same problem. FN + F6 doesn't mute. When I press the keys, the icon is displayed but sound is still playing

Anyone has a fix for this ?

bcoz u used old ppf (1st ppf i made was to make 10.5.4 nc10... now it is latest 10.5.6 if u get 10.5.6 nc10

Oh, thought it was supposed to run 10.5.5. I'm downloading the 10.5.6 PPF from RS, just wondering why you don't make a torrent for that? Or do you get something from RS for hosting it there? (Which would make sense)

[Marijnr]

Rapidshare downloads are paid by the downloader, not the person who upped the file. Makes sense...

The solution is simple.

On the first restart of Mac OS simply remove the external DVD-Rom/ externel drive. Mac OS starts normally, and you can without the DVD-ROM / externel drive to complete its installation. Must you may skip the regeistrierung (apple-Q / (for Windows keyboard Alt-Q ?)).
I've done it and it works without problems.

Sorry for my bad englisch

Hi Mysticus C*,
Thanks to your hard work in getting all this info and install packages together
I now have an almost perfect portable mac.

As stated before I do have msiwindosx + your upgrade packs to 10.5.6
and the brightness scripts and headphone switcing etc etc is all working.

The only slight niggle is the before mentioned fn+f6 not muting
and not having a working battery indicator.

As before I deleted the AppleAcpiBatteryManager.kext
and when 10.5.6 boots the battery indicator briefly comes up
and then dissapears...wierd.

If you can possibly help with just this, the mute thing is not
really important to me as turning the volume down works.

As a reasonably tech savvy newbie, but newbie nonetheless, I just wanted to add my thanks to this forum, and Mysticus C* in particular, for an excellent guide.

I went the route of updating JaS 10.5.4 with the Combo 10.5.6 update, and also utilising ddmac for installation without a USB DVD.

Everything went perfectly first time, and I'm amazed how quick and responsive Leopard is on the Atom.

I have now just finished swapping out the Atheros WLAN, replacing it with a Broadcom 94321MC, which was sitting in a MacPro and surplus to requirements there. It worked immediately under Leopard, and required a new driver for XP, which I found here:

http://www.wireless-driver.com/driver/broa...321.802.11n.rar

This card claims to support 802.11n, although currently I have no means to verify.

Thanks again for a great forum.

there is one message strucks me is that hda driver has trouble loading, but nothing serious for loading desktop... it should not have trouble loading...

this is nc10 10.5.6 iso right? latest? and main installation finished successfully? and bios settings are correct as it is shown in the pdf guides' first page! exactly the same... like EDB enabled and such... double check it please and make sure you set your bios as shown on the picture... also you are not using any external monitor/no external keyboard right? also no attached external hdd while booting osx?

and if everything shows up as correctly, your desktop should have loaded... after those lines, since it is not loading, your answers to above questions is important, because you may have damaged iso or damaged files... so i would suggest you to check your ISO's md5! adn try to read and learn the ddmac method which will be a safer option for future unless you plan on using only osx on the machine and nothing from windows...

[pimmel]

Hmm very strange i have checked everything ,latest iso, bios etc. no chance. It´s weird cause i try iDeneb 10.5.5 it works for me but i can´t fix the display resolution from 800*600 so that´s the reason i wanted to try yours. Could it be possible that someone can post a working kext for the graphic of the NC10 so i can change into 1024*600. All in all Mysticus C* and the other thanks for lightning fast support and have a happy new year !

pimmel: please answer the questions i asked first and confirm them all... if everything is ok as you say, just restart the install process, erase the partition u installed previously, and than restart the install (check customize link with nc10 10.5.6 options thicked and not just green box!, green box happens when there is only one sub option is selected, thick make all the options selected! so make sure you select all the options are selected in nc10 10.5.6 title!!!!!

peno: keyboard fix is not really fix it is just a remapped layout for certain keys on UK keyboard... german keyboard should work i think... but make sure you have a wifi installed as previous german users pointed out, so taht you dont go into loop in account creation...

[niteman1969]

Hi Mysticus,
it seems all my problems were due to having installed patch v1.1 and not realising
that there was a 10.5.6 patch out ..... so i am very happy and now have a working battery
icon and prefs, many thanks.

The only reason i did not go the jas + ppf route is because my internet provider has download
limits and the msiwind iso took a lot of the bandwidth for this month.

sry i edited my post because i dont wanted to spam your board. I have used the latest iso and have double checked everything so it was equel to your guide. After that i reinstall with checked box and now it runs

I wanted to give you the advice that if it´s possible to make the iso so that the checkbox is autochecked. I guess many people will just as I forget to click on customize in hurry because they mention that this ist a "fully" automized iso for samsung nc10:)

I appologize for the circumstances and wish you a happy new year!
