Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

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.

System Profiler, then click Applications on the sidebar. It's in your Utilities folder.

To anyone:

When you restart (like after a software update or anything) does a little window show up saying that it's updating the Boot Caches?

It's happened twice today, both times after I installed updates via Software Update.

I got that when I installed the Keychain update.

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. :)

unreal screensaver, so cool! My new one, even beat out soundstream.

working fine on my 1ghz G4 Powerbook with 768mb

Only two problems so far, no menu transparency :-(

plus doubleclicking to open applications doesn't seem to be working

Some of our older Macs will have things like the menubar transparency (which uses Core Image) disabled. Seems to be no way to enable it. And even MenuShade crashes when launched in Leopard :).

As for the double clicking: that's alarming. No idea why that is not working. Check every available system preference (not even sure that you can change that to begin with).

Yep, read about the reason why, and have yet to find a way to enable. It does finally open with double click, just was a bit unresponsive whereas Apple O is immediate, strange.

Besides that everythings pretty fast.

Is it just me or is Spotlight now learning what you use like Quicksilver does?

Because yesterday to search for Terminal in Spotlight I was typing "ter" and today I just have to type "t".

Same thing happens to me, too. Yesterday, to open Photo Booth, I had to type "photo b", and today it's just "p". Pretty cool. (Y)

no, you are right. I have both transmit and transmission on my computer, is used to always go for transmission for but i use transmit more and now spotlight knows it. Now all i have to type is TR and it goes for transmit.

Based on recent discussion, I've got some questions. I really wanna upgrade with all the talk of speed and possible battery performance. My MacBook Pro is just over a year old, but lasts only about an hour on a full charge. My last 2 laptops prior to switching to a Mac lasted 5+ hours (IBM).

a. Is there any way to DISABLE menu transparency in newer Macs?

b. Can you do calculations and/or other special tasks in Spotlight that would have previously needed LaunchBar or QuickSilver?

c. Is there a battery upgrade with Leopard?

d. Can you still disable Dashboard?

e. Can you disable Spaces and/or Time Machine?

Are you sure? I don't ever recall seeing an option in Tiger that let you turn off the double-clicking of the the title bar.

There wasn't an option for it, but it could be done. Ironic that double-clicking the title bar in Windows, maximises it, and in OS X, minimises it. I prefer the latter.

The option was there in Tiger.

Anyone getting the wake from sleep bug? After waking up my MBP screen had defaulted to 800 x 600 pixels and looked, well, pants. :rolleyes:

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
