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:

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?

      If we can't agree on a baseline of reality then there is no point in talking. Its a waste of time.
