    Two Leopard Questions

    no, but because you have a mac that runs at a speed less than 867mhz. My G5 runs leopard fine, but my old iBook can't. just the way of things. pather, or even tiger for that matter, is not at all broken, and leopard is just an evolution of OSX that really is just there so that apple can keep...

    OS X can be a pro OS, but at the same time is a consumer level product that needs to be idiot proof. denying access to critical system files out of the box goes a long way to maintain this. for the pro people, it's not impossible. you have the choice.

    have you tried adding a library folder to the omit list, then removing it again (the way you force indexed a folder in tiger)?

    Spotlight is greatly improved in 10.5, mikuro. although not back to panther style searching, the addition of proper google-like boolean, the addition of some context is something they've not really shouted about enough... for example, if two identical results come up, the main location...

    Possible new Apple Logo?

    yeah the logo is not going to change. it has reached its point of perfection, and any change to it would only be detrimental.

    Leopard: Bugs/Compatibility Reports

    man, you should have seen 10.3.0 that was a mess. or for that matter, 10.0! however: still having huge problems with my Airport. what worked on Tiger with a totally solid, ethernet-level robustness, is now a flakey horrible mess reducing the internet to near dial-up speeds, which can drop...

    Did I Make a Mistake?

    it's not fatter at all... it's the exact same casing as the iBook G4, just made from more expensive materials (the iBook G4 got a lot cheaper than the G3). examples being the solid white plastic on the G4 is transparent acrylic, painted white on the inside on the G3, much like a white iPod. the...

    i went through the exact same hatred, when i upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.0. Panther is just about the most stable OS in the world. it's also stable because it's 10.3.9. it had 9 revisions to get it to be that stable. 10.5.0 is new, there's a lot of very new technology in there, and...

    CS3 working flawlessly this end. oh, and did a clean install yesterday, and a side effect of it was my Airport problems disappeared. (my OSX partition was full so had to make it bigger, and live partition wasn't working. clean install time!)

    Changing the Home Folder Directory, 10.5

    cheers eric, spot on the mark. it was a long day yesterday, topped off with my OSX partition running out of disk space, meaning i had to repartition and clean install (live partitioning wasn't working either...). thankfully, i keep my home folder on a seperate drive, so all the pain of setting...

    Changing the Home Folder Directory, 10.5

    With Netinfo Manager having been removed from 10.5, what's the terminal command to change my home folder to a folder on a separate volume? cheers people!

    Will Apple Store Install Other RAM Brands?

    please say you'll try... and with screws, the best way to not strip them is be forceful, but at the same time, slow, considered and gentle. think massive 15mph digger vs 60mph motorbike. when you're unscrewing delicate screws, you want to be the big slow strong digger.

    Will Apple Store Install Other RAM Brands?

    it does NOT take an hour. i think most people could do it with about 2-3 minutes. 5 minutes if you have to find a screw driver. please Amie, it's really really easy. the only thing easier than this is plugging a usb pen in. crucials website's front page has a drop down menu thing to find...

    Is my version of Photoshop 7 now too out of date for Leopard?

    sounds like a simple re-install could do it.

    dual screens haven't really been taken into account with a lot of the new features... time machine, if a window is on the secondary screen, has to slide accross into the main screen. all looks a bit awkward. spaces is hideous and clunky on dual screens, as although each space is the size of...
