 upgrading November 3, 2008
buying Leopard was easy. saved a little money too, so that's always nice. upgrading to Leopard... why does it have to take up so much memory!!!! it's not that different enough from my old OS, but takes up so many Gigs! i was on 10.2 before the upgrade. oh well, it's done now.
 Finder windows problems October 29, 2008
My work requires me to set up folders that hold hundreds and sometimes thousands of archived files. Therefore, I always use the simple list mode to scroll up and down in a narrow Finder window and open folders in the same window and without the need to having a sidebar, I never used the sidebar before anyway. something which worked great with Tiger.
When I upgraded to Leopard I couldn't have the simple list Finder window anymore. I found that in order to do that, I need to get a rid of the sidebar by clicking on the oval top right button on the Finder window which also get a rid of the top menu which includes the "back" and "forward" arrow buttons that are essential to going back and forth between folders. Although the arrow buttons can be substituted by activating the Path Bar at the bottom of the window by checking "Show Path Bar" in the "View" pulldown menu in top of the screen, which I don't find as fast and easy to use as the arrow buttons. I also shockingly found out that when I get a rid of the sidebar (and the top menu), folders always open in a new window no matter what, even if the "Always open folders in a new window" left unchecked in the "Finder" pull down menu in the top left corner of the screen.
So now I'm stuck with having to have the useless sidebar that takes much room on my little 15.4 screen of my MacBook Pro in every window I open in order just to make folders open in the same window.
The other thing is that Leopard does not memorize the Finder's window settings and location, I must go through resetting my windows to my specifications every time.
This may sounds like a simple issue but it is a very important one because most of us use the same window settings from start to end, we rarely change to different settings or location.
Apple, I hope you issue correction to this important problem soon.
 Causes repeated system crashes for G series "Power-PC" processors. October 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This OS is nice and well enough designed for Intel processor machines, but for "Power-PC" processor Macs, it's a disaster. I have one of the last of the G5 iMacs (20") and it never crashed at all with Mac OS 10.4. But with 10.5, IT WILL CRASH EVERY TIME I use iTunes. Sometimes it crashes when I'm using iTunes, and sometimes it will crash after I use that program and quit the application. It doesn't seem to matter what I do. And yes, this is a legal, registered version of the OS. I have reinstalled it twice with no effect. Apple has some serious work to do to make this latest OS viable for their not-too-distant machines. Until they figure it out, users should avoid this OS.
Thanks for reading,

Great gift for the Mac user in your life October 24, 2008
My son-in-law wanted Leopard for his Mac. I ordered it at Amazon because the price and shipping and taxes were less than ordering direct from Apple. It shipped fast and arrived quickly. He's happy, my daughter is happy, and I am happy.
