Does anyone else notice how lousy Leopard is with gaming?

Man I wish I stayed with 10.4.11...
Leopard is stuttery, seems to be dropping frames during any game I've played. Takes all the fun out of playing games.
Is there something I can do? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking about Archive/Installing 10.4.11 again.

Hi Jeff
What game/games are you playing that are dropping frames?
Do these have the latest patches installed? - All of my games required an update to work properly on Leopard
Have you tried reinstalling the games?
When you upgraded to Leopard what method did you use? Archive and install, Erase and install or upgrade?

Does anyone else notice the light from the headphone jack on their white iPhone 4?

I noticed that whenever i turn on my lockscreen or whenever my iphone's screen is on, you can see light from the audio headphone jack. Anyone else have this problem? ( Iphone 4 white)

Clarification, iPhoneMac is correct. There is light noticible at the bottom of the Headphone Jack.
However, when I responded, I checked the 6 iPhone 4 here and none of them showed this in lit room normal usage. In Dark Room especially with the Screen Brightness turned up you can see a bit of light (glow) at the very bottom of the Jack, if you look right down the barrel.

Has anyone else noticed how slow iTunes has been to browse music previews?

This has been going on for a handfull of days so far. Kind of reminds me of the after Christmas rush of 06. Does anyone think that this has anything to do with the iPhone factor and an overload of new customers for the servers to deal with? I would like someone OTHER than the "gatekeepers" of this forum to chime in with feedback. Come on. Let's hear it. What's up?

It's been a bit slow all-around for me. It could be iPhone related. I'd give it a bit and it should hopefully be back to normal. I do get rushes of time where it's speedy, so they're obviously working on stuff.

Anyone Else Notice How Tempermental the iMac is with 3rd Party RAM?

I recently upgraded my 2007 iMac so Lion could run more smoothly by adding RAM from Crucial.
The machine worked fine for a few days then I started experiencing kernal panics. I suspected my new RAM wasn't seeded properly. The last straw was when I shut down the system to re-seed the RAM and turned it back on, the machine beeped three times at few second intervals (which indicates a problem with RAM) and would not power on.
I moved it to a different slot--still no joy. In an effort to just get the machine started, I tried other 3rd party RAM that was compatible with the iMac that I had lying around. Still no go as the machine would beep loudly and not power on.
I finally found some RAM I had taken out of my 2007 Macbook Pro when I upgraded it. It was the original RAM that had come with the Macbook Pro. It worked like a charm.
But I'd like to upgrade my RAM. Guess I'll have to take a trip to the Apple store and buy from there--much more expensive though.
Anyone else have issues with RAM?

Mac's are not tempermental with third party RAM however they are sensitive to the following RAM issues:
1. Incorrect RAM specifications. RAM specs must exactly meet Apple's specifications, period! Installing incorrect RAM will cause KPs.
2. Unseated RAM. Unseated RAM will cause problems.
3. Failed RAM, this is more unusual however it's possible to have a RAM DIMM be defective of fail at a later date.
The only third party RAM I would not recommend for your machine is Kingston Value brand, this has been troublesome. However if you use OWC or Crucial both are great vendors and sell RAM that works assuming 1, 2 and 3 above.

Anyone else notice how adding a preloader stops the animation loading sometimes?

and when building within the time line i get random occurrences of opacity applied to objects... also still can not get the replay / play from code to work correctly - when it goes back to the start everything is like it set on a low opacity - this was not prevalent in legacy versions running in osx 9 - anyone else having issues like this ??

Share you composition (zip and upload to any online storage service like dropbox etc.) with us to check it out.

Has anyone else noticed how much faster the Internet is on this phone?

This phones Internet is blazing compared to my 3GS. Was this something that was supposed to be expected or am I just imagining things because it loads pages probably twice as fast. I find myself on this thing now more than my laptop!!
Sorry if I am ******* anyone off with my praise towards Apple, changing the tone for what usually is being said on the Discussion board

No, you're absolutely right. I've been noticing the speed difference on my new iPhone 4 compared to my friends iPhone 3GS. Steve Jobs mentioned during the WWDC keynote that the new iPhone 4 sports the new 3G radios that support higher download and upload speeds.
AT&T has been ramping up speeds and improving their network during the last year. It's noticeably faster on my iPhone 4. I've been running some speed tests at random, and i've hit as high as 4Mbit download and 2.3 Mbit upload speeds. Quite impressive!

Has anyone else noticed how selection is bugged in 5.1

Hey - I wish there was a warning that adding a new product did not return to a draft message!
OK - entering it again!
IOS 5.1 has introduced bugs connected with '-- ' in front of a mail sig.
If one clisks a blank line above, and 'select' there is no select popup. It is OK if onne types a single letter first.
Secondly, if one presses enter at the end of the line immediately above the '-- ', then the cursor jumps to the end of the sig.
The same happens with Iphone 5.1. It seems one cannot tag two products!

Hard as I thought I had explained it (8-)#
In 5.0.1, one could select from a blank line. However now the select bar simply does not appear, unless there is a character on the line. This is only when there is a '-- ' above a sig I think.
This '-- ' also causes a return above to jump right over the sig, rather than inserting a blank line.

Has anyone else noticed how buggy and unreliable Safari has become?

I could barely even submit this question from within Safari, without reopening the page in a fresh tab. What is going on there? It seems Apple is starting to abandon it's high standards for this Web Browser.
I should add, that I have two completely different Apple Computers, and this poor experience is exhibited across both of them.

Complaining without seeking a solution is not really going to get you anywhere.
But to answer your question, no problems with Safari and I have never had.

Anyone else notice how brain dead Siri is lately?

What is going on with Siri lately?
She seems completely brain dead.
Completely unable to find a location she just found less than a month ago. Nary a whimper of a hint.
I ask for directions to one city from another city and she gives me places of interest in the target ciy.
What is going on???

Hello Will Starck1,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Siri is not able to understand you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Anyone else notice Verizon's complete disinterest with Windows Phone?

I decided to take a peek through Verizon's facebook and Twitter pages for a quick minute, on the day that Verizon announced pre-orders are available for Windows Phone, they took to twitter and promoted that there is a new droid coming on the 13th and to get sneek peeks of it. Followed by tweets everyday with the tag #droidoes, why doesn't verizon put this kind of effort into windows phone instead of just a new droid every 2 months? I want more than just 2 mid range windows phones for the same price as most higher end models.

Agreed.
If Verizon personnel in charge of phone procurement ever bother to peruse their Windows Phone forums, they'll know why they might be receiving lukewarm, nay, tepid response to Windows Phone 8 on their network. The days of perceived cautiousness because of the Kin debacle should've been over with and forgiven on the introduction and overly positive reception of WP7 of the HTC Trophy. For Verizon to continue the throttled reception of WP8 with a half-hearted selection of Windows Phone 8 devices is a disservice to their customers.
If you're listening Verizon, this is not a chicken and egg argument. You found a partially interested audience to your WP8 launch because you put forth a partial introduction to WP8 phones.

Does anyone else all the sudden have probs with the ipod touch calendar?? all the sudden can't add dates to mine, please help!

Can't insert new events into my calendar...was fine before the new software update but now doesn't work. please help if you know any fixes.

Go to Settingds>iCloud and make sure that Calender is turned on. If yo want to do other things too like adding contacts, make sure those are also turned on.

Kernal_task keeps taking 100% of one of my CPUs. Does anyone else have this problem?

This seems to relate to when the computer is hot. However, it is not that hot at all. Seems to be aggressive way of cooling? Does anyone else notice this?
I am on macbook air 2013 and mavericks

My guess would be you don't have enough memory available to run the games that you are trying to play. This is not supposed to happen in iOS - but I have seen too many instances to believe that the iOS can handle it properly all of the time. My suggestion would be to close all apps in the recents tray, reboot and start over again and see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
The problem could be something else software related and restoring the device might help, but I would start with this and see how it goes.

Anyone else notice iPhone 5's lens cover is uneven or tilted?

I received my pre-order black iPhone 5 on launch day (9/21/2012). I love it!
However, I noticed that when I pull the iPhone 5 out of my pocket there is often lint sticking out of the lens cover for the iSight on the back.
This morning upon closer inspection, I noticed that the lens cover is slightly tilted downwards.
It is visible to the eye, but it is especially noticeable when you run a finger across it.
I notice that the top of the lens cover is completely flush while the bottom is slightly less than flush. It is tilted inward, below the surrounding glass.
Does anyone else notice this? Is it perhaps just how it is designed?

I went to a Genius Bar appointment and after waiting 45 minutes a genius replaced my iPhone 5. In fact he replaced another one at the same time. He handled both of our cases simultaneously with an iPad away from the Genius Bar.
I'm happy with my replacement. He said it was a brand new phone, not a refurb. However, I inspected the replacement iPhone in store and I found a knick in the beveled edge and a scrape about 1cm long on the side of the iPhone. I decided that I'd rather have a couple of scrapes than a recessed camera lens. Once I got home and had it under better light I found dust under the lens. So overall I'm disappointed but I'm 99% satisfied with my device and its not worth the hassle to get a another replacement. I think there are definite quality control issues with the new iPhone, though.

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now whenever i take a picture it doesnt save to the camera roll. does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
