Got my FedEx delivery of Mac OS X Leopard this morning. Upgrading now. be back in a few!

I am most excited about being able to access my macs from anywhere. Like if I shoot an out of town wedding I can go ahead and upload my files to my office computer. Or if i'm out of town working and want to make a slideshow, I can access all of my music files from my office computer. This is gonna rock!

yep, my hubby just got his copy at apple today.

mine's on the truck out for delivery. should be here by noon or so. i won't be loading it on my G5 yet due to concerns about immediate software compatability with the adobe creative suite and lightroom... i just have too much tied up in those programs right now to not be able to process jobs before they are updated to full compatability.

but yeah... i'm super-excited! i'll be loading leopard on my macbook pro and mac mini as soon as fedex shows up!

Please let us know if there is a compatibility prob with Lightroom. That isn't even something I thought about. I watched the tutorial on Leopard this morning, and I totally get why people are so excited about it. The new Back to Mac feature is awesome. Also, Stacks and Time Machine looks insame! I don't really understand how Time Machine can recover any file you've ever deleted. I guess it just compresses the old files really tight or something.

It saves them to an external hard drive. If will keep backups for as long as you have drive space.

You have been able to access your mac from anywhere, at least with Tiger and Jaguar

How? Can you explain?

i'll be picking up my copy tonight. can't wait!

Got my copy this morning, will load it up when I get home!

I'm up and running, Leopard is sweeeeet. The cover Flow/Quick look works with Camera RAW files (super sweet) the screen sharing is freakin' awesome and smokin' fast. I LOOOOVE it, bestest upgrade ever!

Vista =


OSX =

I'm totally having a zen geek moment i heart leopard

I'm pretty excited about all of the new features, too.
cover flow looks amazing, not to mention all of the other goodies.

any word on whether they're coming out with a small notebook w/flash memory??

p.s.: I wonder what the next OS will be called?

maybe it'll be LION.

'siamese' 'manx' and 'tomcat' just won't do it...

What system are you running? G5 or intel?

Here are a couple support articles about it right from Apple

love it

Intel right now, need to install on my Dual G5 when i get home

Ligor or Tigon

Does anyone know yet if you can access external HDs through the new back to mac feature!

What's the verdict on the G5? Smooth?

I know, it's scary to think that these people upgraded and we haven't heard back from them. LOL!

Works great on my dual G5 tower



although I love my Mac, I have better things to do on a Friday night than stay at home and play with my Leopard

seriously though, it is working great. only thing I have run into on my macbook pro is that it replaced my login avatar.

gotta run, packing the gear

I'm still running Photoshop 4 in os 9

edited to add: It screams on a quad g5 with maxed out ram

I just got my first mac. Will arrive in the mail on Tuesday.

Spotlight is still indexing our 4 TB file server.

Leopard jacked up some of the drives and I had to fix them with Diskwarrior on our other workstation (a G5).

We bought the family pack but I plan to only upgrade our Mac Pro and Powerbook. The G5 will stay Tiger until we've verified everything is cundelá.

I just started upgrading my macbook! I can't wait to see how great Leopard really is. I also want to wait to make sure my crucial programs work right before I install it on my imac workstation.

Works great! You can tell there's some minor little bugs (I've experienced some odd hiccups in the Finder), but overall I think I like it a lot!

I can't believe nobody is talking about Spaces! It's insane, totally like having dual (or actually quad) monitors. Freakin sweet!

after running leopard on my macbook pro and giving LR and Photoshop a few quick tests, i'm going to shut down my quad G5 w/ 5GB of RAM and run the upgrade for leopard as soon as i make this post!

see y'all on the flipside... :-)

Yup, I'm done and everything runs good! I will upgrade my workstation tomorrow.

I'm such a mac junkie.. Leopard is going on all of our computers in the next couple of weeks.

Im grinding my teeth to get leopard on my machines, but it parallels doesnt support it yet and thats a huge bummer for me! maybe in a few weeks.

Chris the spaces will rock the workflow especially on 2 monitors now i just got to get 2 apple cinema screens lol

OS9 Hurts.

Everything works great except parallels (as mentioned in an earlier thread).

I will probably do a wipe and full reinstall this week... because I'm crazy like that =)

I'm in the midst of an Archive and Install. The "Upgrade" option didn't work well. I've had to manually power down more times in the last two days than I ever had combined over my years of Mac ownership.

No big deal, it probably would have been like this regardless of when I upgraded!

I'm taking the plunge and upgrading my workstation now. I can't wait to see how well this desktop sharing feature works.

I'm running Leopard and Parallels and it's working fine. What's the problem everyone else has?

I installed Leopard on my Quad G5 lastnight, and it's running flawlessly! The only problem I've had so far is that Firefox won't open due to a flashgot compatability error.... lame.... and i can't uninstall flashgot without opening firefox as far as I know.

LR and PS run PERFECTLY and faster than ever! Apple has done it again with another great operating system!

I haven't found any issues yet with either of my machines. Everything is working flawlessly. I haven't really noticed a speed difference at all. Seems to be about the same to me. This feature of being able to access my workstation via 'back to my mac' works as advertised. It's really cool to be able to take control of my workstation while I'm away!

I love my Leopard ... Spaces is my favorite, but I haven't really played with a lot of stuff.

My only bummer ... For some reason I can't uploaded pictures to my bludomain site. Can't figure out what's going on, but hopefully it will get resolved, so I can have my proofing section working for clients. Does anyone else have both Leopard and use Bludomain?

YES! I'm having Blu issues with Leopard as well. Not a HUGE deal for the moment but it will be if this isn't resolved fairly quickly.

Well, I guess I can tell them I'm not the only one. It's just my busy season and I wish I could use my proofing section!! Hope someone can figure it out!

Just make sure you have backups. My upgrade from 10.4 froze four times. I eventually was able to do a clean install on one of my other drives, but I had to move all of my mail/calendars/apps over manually. Not sure why it could not handle the upgrade on my machine. So much for a 30 minute upgrade. Glad to hear it's going more smoothly for everyone else.

It's your name.

I'm gonna wait for the Adobe bugs to be worked out before I install mine.. Maybe I'll set up a test machine before I do my production ones.

Upgraded to the new OSX on my Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5 with 4.5 GB of RAM and it works like a charm... doing the MacBook Pro next.

I think clients will gladly forward the new html formatted emails we send to let them know their pictures are online
This was my first one from yesterday's engagement session... created in 30 secs, dragged the images directly from my blog:

That template looks sweet! Can't wait for my version to come in the mail!

Backups are key. We had one laying around so I blasted through with the "Upgrade" option over the "Archive and Install" version. It didn't go so well, so I reinstalled with the latter and it seems to be much less prone to Finder freezes, etc.

If we had to restore I'm confident that it would have been fine, though it certainly would have been lame!

Can anyone tell me if the Mail.app still handles all attachments as in-line mime data or does it give you the option of NOT displaying that 19MB TIFF in the middle of a paragraph?

Honestly, that is the ONLY reason I still don't use Mail.app. I love everything else about it.

Ben

Is this a template built into the mail? Please explain.

Yes, it's one of the templates built into Mail... see more here Apple Mail

I'm pretty sure you can customize your own but haven't looked into it yet.
