Unfortunately, there isn’t and most likely will never be any way to utilize the HDMI port inside OS X.

10.5.8

Is there anyway I can get the HDMI port working?

thanks

Hi,
Trackpad now only works if I put it to sleep and wake it up again however the sleep function has now stopped working – it was working perfectly and then one day I closed the lid and it kept waking up.

Help!

For line 5, instead enter the following, but replace USERNAME with your username:

cp -R /Users/USERNAME/Desktop/Trackpad.prefPane /System/Library/PreferencePanes/

the instructions tell us to enter

1. Move Trackpad.prefpane to the Desktop
2. Open a terminal window and type the following commands
3. sudo su
4. rm -rf /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Trackpad.prefPane
5. cp -R ~/Desktop/Trackpad.prefPane /System/Library/PreferencePanes/

and entering it just doesn’t work.

You get an error after the second line of what? I’m a bit confused.

Which line does it give you the directory error on?

By: Aine

I’ve got everything working minus the trackpad now, thanks for your help.
I followed the instructions in the trackpad file however the terminal just says no such directory exists when I get to the end.

You can fix the Microphone with this guide.

Cool thanks I’ll try that.
Also, I just tried to Skype someone and I realised my built-in mic isn’t working!
Is there anything I can do to remedy this?

Thanks

You can remedy sleep with the 10.5.8 sleep fix. Also, trying reinstalling the trackpad Preference Pane, using this download and following the included instructions. Personally, I don't find Snow Leopard all that impressive, and thus Leopard is still my main OS. There's not many changes in Snow Leopard, but some people still prefer it, so it really comes down to user preference. But I guess my final answer would have to be no, it isn't worth the upgrade.
