disk utility takes much longer

I had the same problem and then I decided to run the app. and just walk away and let it run. It took about 10 to 15 minutes for it to do a repair permissions or verify. That was on a 250 gig internal hard drive.

My experience...

Same thing happened after I loaded Leopard on my MacPro Quad Xeon. It happened four times over a 5 hour period--a couple times when using Spaces, and then without spaces when I had multiple programs opened. I have done the same exact multi-tasking in Tiger and never had a problem.

I have never had the MacPro do that before Leopard--the spinning wheel and Force Quit wouldn't work and I had to use the power button to shut down.

I also had some programs refuse to accept my user password to make changes, then an update came through early this morning to fix something in the password chain and it worked fine after that.

Joe, if you have the order number, log online or your email to see the reference numbers for UPS or whatever is delivering it, then check from their website. Sometimes they try to deliver but don't even leave a note...

InDesign CS3. Upon opening a document i got the error: "LibXml: Document not parsed successfully"

Anyone know what that is?

Also looks like a few of my widgets will need upgrading... fonts have changed on them, some are all messed up - DashMail for example...

Otherwise, the pros vastly outweigh the cons! The thing is sexxxy!

My CS3 apps are all fine -- but they should be. My MacBook Pro is ten months old, has 2 gb of memory and gets weekly software updates and other maintenance. Gotta say so far, that Leopard has also been very good about installing a new photo-quality printer and monitor calibrator just today.

OTOH, it's not been so nice to our 1.25-ghz upgraded Cube (video-card issue, maybe, although it's not running the 6200 that we know to be incompatible). And, taking that Cube back down to Tiger has done something funky to its networking skills. It only wants to look for the other machines over IP and doesn't want us to turn on AppleTalk!
