Comments on: Leopard… It’s Been Pretty Nice To Me So Far! http://offshootinc.com/blog/2007/10/27/leopard/ We Get Stuff Done. :) Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:05:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Justin M http://offshootinc.com/blog/2007/10/27/leopard/comment-page-1/#comment-1208 Justin M Fri, 30 Nov 2007 06:59:13 +0000 http://www.offshootinc.com/blog/?p=33#comment-1208 Between my 2 macs its been a different story. My Macbook (Fairly old, 1st gen) The install was flawless. No problems other than pages now prints images in a negative effect. Well no real problems until the 10.5.1 update. Ill get to that after. Next on the list is my 1st gen iMac G5. Install competes and BAM I'm greeted with a blue screen of death. Computer will not turn on. Call apple, they tell me to do archive and install, did that and this time around its telling me that there is no os installed. Awesome. Throw the computer into firewire disk mode and copy it all to an external drive. Do a fresh install, works great but once I get into it I find out that Leopard doesnt have OS9 support. I need OS9 support in my house, theres some programs that they just dont make anymore that I have to have. In the end I had to put Tiger back on the computer. 2 days out the window. So back to my laptop, I have an airport extreme base station that conveniently has 2 network drives attached to it. I keep all my media on them. The 10.5.1 update broke that for me. I cannot connect to any network drive. Well... thats a lie, I can connect to a windows pc just fine but anything else will just hang then disappear. Still waiting for a fix. Time machine network backups are possible, but the plist settings dont allow it. Theres some script I downloaded a couple weeks ago that will edit the plist and allow you to backup to any drive. My pc even shows up as a possible backup location. Between my 2 macs its been a different story.
