Mac OS X Version 10.5.4 Leopard

I was really pleased with there services and how fast I received my order I would not mind ordering something from them again. And I would gladly say that I was really impressed with there overall service and how i was treated.

Leopard is a good upgrade from Tiger, though a little expensive. Benefits include improved page movement tracking in Safari, added notes and to-dos in Mail, and enhanced flexibility combined with easier setup in networking shared computers on a LAN. Leopard also enables Mac Pro owners to use the new high-speed NVidia 8800 GT video card so we can finally play video games as well as our PC-owning cousins do.

Unfortunately, for people with font management tools such as Suitcase, Leopard also comes with a big headache: cumbersome font management within the system. What used to work well with a 500-plus font collection now is broken so much that I cannot use any of my postscript fonts without constant error popups. Every time I activate a font in my manager (Suitcase Fusion X), I'm told it conflicts with some Apple System font. Of course there's no duplicate of the particular font in the Apple list, but it certainly prevents me from using fonts I need to work on my old documents. For a graphics person this would be supremely frustrating.

Apple and third parties have written about this issue and there are workarounds, but it's much more a pain in the butt than in previous versions of Mac OS X. If you work with type, you MUST plan out how to migrate your type collection over to Leopard before upgrading your Mac or you'll immediately be unable to access your type library to do your work.

I do think that Apple should have better prepared for this before releasing the product to the professional community, and I am certainly unhappy that I have to do the heavy lifting to get my work environment back to a functional level.

I have been an avid Apple/Nintendo fan for a long time buying every product they come out with. Ipods, Imacs, and software. If I could I would go back to my Tiger because my external Harddrive is too small for me to get the benefits of Time Machine and if you buy a big external HD, they don't last as long as smaller ones. Second, the applications they added were no better as they hyped it up to be. The new photobooth stuff always come in choppy for me when I am in the ocean, or at the beach. My eyes are scratched out. The .Mac updates are great, and the Iphoto works wonderfully and I love the new events and a great way to better organize your pictures. The new imovie makes it impossible to edit/fade, and move around audio/pictures and video as it did in the last version. Front row is perhaps the only thing I love about leapord. Coverflow is the best thing in leapord and I love showing off my album artwork with a remote.

In the meantime I will wait for the next apple OS = Lions,Monkeys,Panda or maybe when they add the Beatles to Itunes they will have their new operating system Abbey Road.

My family got a new Mac that came with Leopard. None of my kids' software games will run on it because it "does not support the classic environment" or something like that. Basically, as I have now discovered, anything before OS X 10.5 (Leopard) had the ability to read software that was made for both PCs and Macs, but the new version can not. I spent a long time at the store looking for kids' games that would run on our new computer, but I could only find one.

I have also had trouble with scanning photos and documents from my HP scanner/printer to the computer, but that could just be a problem with Macs in general.

We have three Mac's in the house and are VERY pro Apple. Got Leopard for the G-4. We exceed speed and memory requirements as well as RAM. Since it's been installed ~ it'll lock up and freeze. We've reloaded and rechecked everything. I was told to: Wait for a few updates! Well excuse me Mr. Apple, this thing should WORK out of the box, not months later when you get around to it. So after living with Leopard (should be renamed Leper) we're pulling it out, putting Tiger back in. It's just a horrible system about 98% of it. Yes, the time machine feature is good. But the way it locks up, loses downloads, files items, and gives you ZERO HELP all I can see is Mr. Jobs needs to kick the designers in the rear and go back to the drawing board.
