Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

Just a quick question. I've got a Boot Camp partition set up, where I moved all my documents, as I want to perform a clean install on my primary OS X partition. If I choose the Erase and Install method, will my Boot Camp partition stay intact?

Yeah. Windows partitions stay intact. Its fine.

I'm a bit disappointed that Safari's progress bar doesn't change to Graphite. It still has to be hue-shifted and junk then replaced manually. Blue is awful in Leopard... :x Graphite is sexy though.

Spotlight is so insanely fast. I don't think I'll even need Quicksilver....

Anyone had problems accessing http://www.hotmail.com in Safari? Works fine in Firefox but its just constantly reloading in Safari.

It loads fine for me. (Y)

That's why I don't even bother reading Neowin's front page. It's a Microsoft fanboy's paradise.

QFT ;)

One bug I've found is when you return to your desktop from Front Row, the mouse cursor has disappeared. Anyone else got this problem?

I'm getting too. I can move around and see the dock magnify and stuff, but I can't see the actual pointer. :(

Yes I have problems loading hotmail in Safari... it tells me to download a more recent browser : Internet Explorer 6.0

Microsoft will never cease to impress me!

So to summarize... I cannot have my hotmail account in Mail anymore, and I cannot load it in Safari! I really need to sort this out someway...

httpmail is a biggie for me....

I also just bought an external disk to use with time machine + extra space (500 gigs vs. de 60 i have now). I plan to get an extra gig of ram for my macbook next weekend, to give time to my new rive to come home and also in case there a any serious updates to leopard.

as of next weekend, i will be joining you guys :)

Anyone have any idea how to set up a network with Windows computers using Bonjour? I have Bonjour for Windows installed on them, but it just isn't working. My 2 Leopard machines work flawlessly, see each other, and my first Leopard install saw the Tiger install straight away, but the 2 Vista machines I want to work just won't go. Once they're set up, I presume that it's easy to set up a printer, like Apple says it is.

Quick. Everyone try the Photo Mosaic Screensaver.

Choose a photo album from the Desktop & Screen Saver control panel, then click on the 3rd "Display Style" (Mosaic). Under Options set the screensaver to Fast and then click test. Awesome. :)

Retro and Security screensavers are still present too in Developer Tools.

Once installed copy two files

Retro.qtz and Security.qtz

from:

/Developer/Examples/Quartz Composer/Compositions/Screen Savers/

To:

/Library/Screen Savers/

Enjoy!

I just finished reinstalling Leopard. I did an upgrade the first time and had some residual bugs that I wanted to squash so I went with an erase & install the second time since I have a system backup. I was surprised how well the setup assistant worked. My iTunes and iPhoto settings, ratings, etc all exactly as the were. I am really quite impressed with Apple. And now, I have not seen a bug rear it's head. Very happy with Leopard right now.

Oh man. After I watched it for a few minutes, I went back to my desktop, and now it looks like its moving. :wacko:

Its a very cool effect though must say.

Does anyone have a list of the current version of all the application in Leopard? Stupid as I am, when I tried to install iLife from my iMac install discs, I didn't select custom to just install iLife. Instead I installed all the optional applications of Tiger.

I did a system update but Im still not sure if that'll update everything to Leopard version.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event.

Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter.

They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function.
