Leopard: Bugs/Compatibility Reports

[andyz]

I am having major problems with mail. I am running a macbook pro and just had a new hardrive installed and a fresh copy of tiger. I upgraded to leopard and now I am unable to open mail. The program opens but if I try to open an individual email the mail closes. It give me a "mail closed un-expectedly " error message. I tried re-installing a new copy rather than upgrading and this doesnt help. I have also insalled from the same disk on to my wifes mac and mail works fine on her macbook.

Cheers

Hi,
Given the number of serious System Leopard compatibility issues reported here, the MacFixit website, and others, is the magnitude of the problem sufficient to consider this [situation] to be a compatibility crisis?

Anyone know if there's a System Leopard compatibility chart, either published or being contemplated?

Thanks for all the hard work being accomplished on MacOSX.com.

so far I haven't experience any major problems in leopard with my macbook. The only real problem is that my Lacie 500 gig HD won't show up. It does show up on my powerbook G4 running Tiger though. However, leopard has sped up the overall performance of my macbook and I am very satisfied with it.

I also installed leopard on my Tibook 667 with 512MB of RAM and noticed a significant increase in performance as well. Likewise, however, my Lacie HD will not show up on the Tibook either.

that is interesting. My lacie 250 gig works fine. Love the new time machine back up feature

Right you are. I had an old version of Safari linked in my dock. Once I updated its pointer, things were fine. False alarm.

The Fed Ex person at our local office told me that Apple had so many orders that were set (promised) for Friday delivery that Fed Ex told them they'd never be able to get them all out by Friday. Mine arrived on Saturday. Clearly a lack of communication or coordination between the two companies.

I haven't got Leopard yet, as I'm waiting to see how compatible my existing applications are before taking the plunge. One of the things I was more concerned about was ensuring that the Adobe Creative Suite 3 is compatible or has only minor issues. I've found that Adobe have released a PDF which outlines support for Leopard. It sounds like most of CS3 is fine (although video apps may need minor updates), except for Acrobat Professional. CS2 and earlier seem to not be so guaranteed.

Edit from Jason:

Please report any compatibility problems and/or bugs you have with Leopard here. If you have more indepth questions, please feel free to post a new thread though. This is mainly for collection and reporting.

Photoshop CS3 is not working(error tells me file is locked and to go to "Get Info" to unlock it, it is not locked in "Get Info" and does not work(all other CS3 Applications work fine/AI/LR/BR/ID, Safari freezes every time it gets to an "Auto fill" page. Someow my key chaing got nuked and this is the root cause for all of the other problems I would guess, the software update that apple rushed out on Saturday was to late to fix my system, I am typing this back on 10.4.10 on after a Superduper re install of 10.4.10, Leopard is scary.
