I had the same problem, try repairing permissions. Then restart and you should have copy/paste back As far as spotlight goes it is a problem many people are having. Spotlight does not work on my ibook G4 but works on my Vaio notebook, go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorant Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i had the same problem too. I repaired premissions without success... I'll try a reinstallation tonight... Anyone else has the same problem and find a solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawker Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Put your leopard DVD in and go to /LeoDVD/System/Installation/Packages and locate BaseSystem.pkg. Drag that to /LeoHD/Library/Receipts. run diskutil and repair permissions. Just reboot after that and everything should be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorant Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 yesterday, I tested the solution gived by Prawker. I searched the BaseSystem.pkg on my dvd but I didn't find it. So I decided to test with the same pakage fron my 10.4.8. I put it in the right folder, boot, repair permissions (all was wrong) and reboot. Bingo!! all worked well : spotlight in the menu bar, drag and drop.. all was perfect ... It's a miracle and a lot of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zam Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The easiest way to fix these post-install 9A527 problems is to run "sudo diskutil repairpermissions /" in Terminal. The graphical Disk Utility at least for me was not able to fix anything, but it worked from the terminal! I would not start messing the system more by downgrading it partially to older versions!

Colonel Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Geez... way to bump a year-old thread... 9A527 was a beta of Leopard anyway... I'm sure there's a more up-to-date solution for your problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
