DVDSP 4.0.3 and Leopard - compatible?

Hello,
Is anybody successfully using DVD Studio Pro 4.0.3 with MacOS X 10.5 Leopard? I find I'm unable to burn DVDs with it (which is more-or-less the point of a DVD authoring package...)
As soon as the build process is started, the "Encoding Assets..." window comes up, but it never progresses beyond 0%. The application remains responsive and I can cancel the build if I wanted to, but I've left it running overnight without seeing any progress in the build. It is not using any significant amount of cpu time while doing this.
Does anybody have different experience with this version?
I installed Leopard with the Archive & Install option. I have since reinstalled DVD Studio Pro (and updating to the most recent Software Update version available to me, that is, 4.0.3) but the effects were identical. I've tried creating a new "simplest possible" project, but again, it gets stuck in the same way.
Is there any way that I can update to a more recent point release (4.1, 4.2) without having to purchase the entire Final Cut Studio bundle?
Thanks for any info.
Andrew

We need a fix for this. I really need some sort of update in the next two weeks. PLEASE APPLE. i run a home-based business that requires this software almost daily (DVDSP4). I have three wedding DVDs that need to be out the door by next Wed... and i really can't afford to spend $1200 on software right now, while you guys in the software dept. could make a small patch for DVDSP 4.0.3 that would replace a .framework or something.... (i might have to pull out ye old G4 500MHz DP that you no longer support either with Leopard to finish these projects...)

Are iCloud and Leopard compatible?

I just got and iPad and want to use iCloud on my MacBook, which is running Leopard 10.5.8. I'd rather not upgrade to Lion due to issues I've been reading about. Does anyone know if/how I can use iCloud while running this system OS?
Thanks

No, you need Lion.

IPhoto 08 and Leopard Firewall not compatible

Since I turned on the Leopard Firewall in the mode where it automatically add applications that need access iPhoto has been asking for permission to accept incoming Internet connections.
Every time it does this I say 'Allow' and enter the Admin password, but it does not seem to take as this comes up every time I start iPhoto.
iPhoto is listed in the Firewall with 'Allow incoming connections', but it still asks every time.
Clearly a bug that needs sorting out.

Ian:
I've set my firewall to the 3rd option, "Set access for specific services and application". iPhoto is not listed in the list, only some applications that I want to block incoming connections for. No problems with that setup.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can I run Tiger and Leopard on the same computer

Hi folks.
I've been meaning to install Leopard for ages but have never got round to it (I bought the retail box when it first came out). I have upgraded my RAM to 2GB and my hard drive to 320GB with no problems.
My upgraded hard drive has been partitioned into 2 equal parts of 160GB. These appear on desktop as Mackintosh HD1 and HD2. HD1 is the disk with all my files, music, OS etc and HD2 is empty
I have 2 bootable clones of my present system - one is on a 160GB external and the other is the original 80GB HD that I replaced.
My question is this - can I install Leopard on to my 160GB external HD, then clone it on to the empty HD2. If I do this would I be able to run both Tiger and Leopard on the same Macbook?
Is there any problems with this plan? Would I be able to transfer between the 2 OS and how do I install Leopard on the external drive. Is it just a case of inserting the Leopard DVD and choose the external drive as the target?
As usual thanks in advance
Del

# Original Tiger in the internal HD, New Leopard in the external HD.
# New Leopard in the internal, Legacy cloned Tiger in the external.
# Split internal, one partition with Tiger, another with Leopard.
Leopard is backwardly compatible with older Macs, just make sure yours fulfills the minimum system requirements, both use the same filesystem format, so each can see the other. You can't run both at the same time, unless you purchase the server version of Leopard and run it virtualized. 99.9% of Firewire external HD's are bootable, some USB's are bootable but have to test first. You can choose which system to boot from by pressing the Option key at boot time, before the chime. Just make sure the external HDD is plugged in and turned on if that's where you want to boot from.
When I migrated my PBG4 from Panther to Tiger, got an external FW HDD, cloned Panther onto it, upgraded using Archive and Install, cleaned up, customized and tested it. When I was satisfied all was ok, cloned the original Panther onto another partition of the external HDD, wiped and tested for failure the internal HDD, then cloned the known good and tested Tiger into it. Only thing that died along the way was my old and ancient Photoshop v2.x, that refused to run on Tiger.

Does Apple have a web download of Snow-Leopard compatible QuickTIme 7?

I installed Snow LEopard onto my MacBook Pro 15" on Friday at work. I left the Snow Leopard install disc there, and now at home I realize I did not install QuickTime 7 and I need this to be able to work proficiently in FCP.
I keep reading that you can download QuickTime 7 at Apple bit every time I try and install after download it says that it is not compatible with this OS.
Does Apple have a Snow Leopard compatible version of QuickTime 7 available as a download? Or am I screwed and have to wait until Tuesday to get to wotk and install from the disc? Why does it have to be so difficult?
Dan

There's also an installer on the "Utilities" or "additional components" installer on the Snow Leopard disc.

LaserWriter 12/640PS Leopard compatible?

Hi there,
I've been offered a LaserWriter 12/640 PS and want to know if it's Leopard compatible. Also, if anyone has one of these beasts and knows of a third-party compatible toner cartridge, you'd be doing me a favour!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
All the best,
Dan

I don't know if it is compatible, I have been unable to access the page to print multiple copies, set pages to print first or last or select single pages in documents to print. I miss these features. I will go back to 10.4 if I cannot solve this issue. I am forced to print documents singly and in their entirety. Does anyone know of a fix? Otherwise, it prints fine on my ethernet network.

Pro Tools and Leopard

Just wanted to know if anyone had heard any information about Digidesign patching up Pro Tools to work with Leopard.
I really hope they do it soon...

I just got this info from Digidesign on LE and Leopard.
Hello Everyone,
I'm Dave Lebolt, general manager of Digidesign. I wanted to take a moment to talk to you about what is happening with Mac OS X Leopard and support in Pro Tools. Some of you have commented that getting Leopard qualified far earlier than now would seem like a "no-brainer," or that Digidesign is often far too late in coming on line in support of newer OS versions. Some have hypothesized that we will charge for an upgrade just to offer you Leopard support. Some people have even said that it's possible that Apple may be causing problems for Pro Tools on purpose. And some folks have said all of these things at once!
The first thing I want to say to all of you is: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that getting here is taking so long and that we have not been able to communicate more about it, and also because we really do care about your experience as customers... People working here are passionate about Pro Tools, a lot of us here want to use our product with Leopard too, and most of all we care because we genuinely want to do anything we can to help you be creative and successful in what you do. So I'm sorry if we're letting you down by not getting things released sooner.
Lack of Leopard support across our product line affects many of you (and affects our business), so I wanted to give you some insight into what's been happening and where we are in the process. Some quick answers to the above statements:
* We have an excellent working relationship with Apple. I have regular communications with senior folks there, as do many others in our organization with their peers (especially engineering and test). The people I talk to at Apple want Pro Tools to be compatible as much as we do; they know that a lot of you are our mutual customers. Ultimately, Apple considers Digidesign to be an important developer on the platform.
* Rest assured, we will not charge Pro Tools 7.4 owners for an update to support OS X Leopard. In fact, it is not our policy (nor has it ever been) to charge for a "dot release" where the only change is support for a new OS version.
* We'd love to have the new Leopard compatible version out to all of you, and it's very painful not to have it for everyone right now. We start work on the qualification (and development process as required) early in the cycle. We begin work on the "seed" versions of the operating system as soon as they are available and sometimes things are changing even as the initial OS release goes to market. If anything changes after that (i.e., a dot release), we sometimes have to start over in addressing any problems that may be newly introduced and go through entirely new rounds of testing to ensure quality.
What's The Current Status?
We have been working hard on supporting OS X Leopard since its introduction to developers at WWDC in 2006 for many months (including some period of time prior to Leopard's release). As is often the case with entirely new major OS versions, there were some quick "dot" releases after introduction. Many of the problems that Apple addressed in these dot releases were critical to improve OS X Leopard operations (you can read about some of them on the support section of Apple's website). These improvements and fixes were very valuable to a broad base of Mac users. Unfortunately, the currently shipping OS X Leopard release, 10.5.2, contains some changes that actually caused problems with Pro Tools (and some other apps as well). In our case, the problems included audio interfaces not being recognized by the computer, track counts dropping to near zero, and errors coming up during normal operation. Some of you who may have experimented with Pro Tools and OS X Leopard 10.5.2 may have encountered some of these problems.
We have worked closely with Apple's engineering group, who have been working very hard in cooperation with us to get the problems ironed out. The good news is that we're getting close to the home stretch, but we have to do a lot of testing of the fixes that have been implemented in order to be sure that we're in good shape. We need to make sure that our product works well and you're not just getting something that's marginal, and it takes time to exercise all of the newly changed code.
What Works on Leopard? Anything At All?
Currently, only Pro Tools|HD systems running Pro Tools 7.4.1 software are officially qualified with OS X Leopard 10.5.1 running on the new generation Mac Pro 8 core desktop machines (with "Harpertown" processors). This means no support yet for Pro Tools LE and M-Powered, and it means that users of the new Mac Pros need to stick with OS X 10.5.1 for the time being.
Why this Message?
We have posted this information along the way (just a couple of weeks ago our head of customer service posted information to the DUC), but the amount of time that is passing combined with our concern within the company prompted me to want to reach out to all of you. We work cooperatively with Apple, and want to respect the process that we have in place for fixing problems; but I wanted to give you a bit more information about what's been happening and why we're not there yet...
When Will It Ship?
We hope to have the new release within between 1 and 2 months from now; some of that timetable is contingent on Apple. We'll keep you posted as we get closer. Normally, we don't want to give specific dates because that can cause problems in expectation and it's better not to have negative surprises, but I'd like to share this info with you in the spirit of keeping closer to you as our customers.
I hope that my note gives you a better idea of what's been going on — thanks for listening.
- Dave L.

Another dual-SATA Firewire 400/800 case that is Leopard compatible?

Looks like OWC is out of stock for 9 days, and I need to get one sooner than that. I'm look for a non-RAID configuration allowing me to have two 500 GB SATA hard drives which I already have and place them inside a single case that has both Firewire 800 and 400 support? Any recommendations which are Leopard compatible? I'd prefer to spend under $200 USD.

Info regarding Diswarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility

I emailed Alsoft regarding Diskwarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility. Here is the response I got.
+DiskWarrior 4.0 will successfully rebuild a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5+
+Leopard installed or a disk that has been attached to a computer running+
Leopard.
+However, some operating system functionality has changed within Leopard+
+itself. As such, there are some compatibility issues when running an+
+installed copy of DiskWarrior 4.0 while started up from Mac OS X 10.5+
+Leopard. Alsoft currently recommends that you do not run DiskWarrior 4.0+
+while the computer is started from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.+
+Instead, to run DiskWarrior, you should start up the computer from either:+
+1) A DiskWarrior 4.0 CD.+
+2) Any disk that starts up in 10.4.x and then run DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+An updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
+compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
+owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X+
+10.4.x and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
+All features work as expected with one exception: FileVaults created+
+while started from Leopard are not visible to DiskWarrior 4.0 and cannot+
+be rebuilt (repaired).+
+-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.5+
+and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
+While not recommended (and discouraged), if you do run DiskWarrior 4.0+
+while started from Mac OS X 10.5 you might encounter some problems such as:+
+1) There is a lengthy delay whenever DiskWarrior is determining which+
+drives are currently attached. This delay is dependent upon the number+
+of attached drives and may last up to 2 or 3 minutes. You will+
+experience this delay when first starting DiskWarrior, whenever a disk+
+is attached or detached while DiskWarrior is running but idle, and+
+whenever a rebuild is completed or canceled.+
+2) You cannot rebuild FileVaults or disk images.+
+3) In step 9 (comparing directories) of a rebuild, the progress bar+
+might get to 100% even though the comparison step is not finished.+
+4) When performing Check All Files and Folders the progress bar might+
+get to 100% even though the check is not finished.+
+5) After rebuilding a disk, DiskWarrior may report that some files or+
+folders have had their permissions changed. This is inaccurate and the+
+permissions have not been changed.+
+To repeat, an updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
+compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
+owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+-- What about DiskWarrior 3?+
+DiskWarrior 3 and earlier versions are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5+
+(Leopard). Alsoft does not recommend running DiskWarrior 3 or earlier on+
+a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed or a disk that has been+
+attached to a computer running Leopard.+

So, it seems it will work but you need to run it from the disk or if you have it installed on a external drive running Tiger, it will work.

If you open your Tiger Address Book, select all cards, drag them to the desktop, it will make one big "mega-VCF" card with a name like "Alan Adams and 543 others.vcf" Dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine. They will all import just fine into your Leopard Address Book.
Try doing something similar with your iCal data, Open the application, choose your calendars one at a time, and select File > Export. That should make a big "mega-ics" calendar card with a name like "work.ics" or "home.ics, i.e., "originalcalendarname.ics" with all the events of that calendar. Then same drill: dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine.
Both generation methods create text files, which should import just fine into the Leopard applications.

Recommendations for Leopard compatible dial-up ISP's

I can send text, but am unable to send all but the smallest (less than 50kb) attachments to emails before getting the "Unable to connect to SMTP server'' message. Netzero is the dial-up ISP, and I have used the service for years on a PC with no problems. There were no problems when using Tiger last November. This appeared as a problem after upgrade to Leopard. Do other dial-up ISP's have this problem with Leopard? Recommendations for dial-up ISP's that are Leopard compatible will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Have used Earthlink dialup for years (through Panther, Tiger, Leopard, etc.)
For email, Have both Earthlink account and Gmail account.
When using Apple's Mail, difficulties sending large attachments via Gmail account.
Not so with Earthlink account.
When using either Earthlink account or Gmail account to send an attachment directly (not using Apple's Mail), both send an attachment fine.
Note: Dialup (using an Apple External Modem on a MacBook Pro) worked fine over the years until latest Leopard 10.5.2 upgrade. Computer freezes during dialup (cursor freezes).
This is not an Earthlink issue; see all the forms about internet connection problems (both dial up and wireless) since the 10.5.2 upgrade.
Until the connection issues are sorted out, I would stop at Leopard 10.5.1.

JawBone and Leopard 10.5.3; how do you shut it off?

Hi;
i have an original JawBone bluetooth headset for my iPhone. I am so happy that it now works with my MacBookPro as well! Last summer when i checked this out, Aliph stated it didn't work with Tiger.
Anyways, i've never used a bluetooth headset with my MacBook Pro. Got it working; the sound isn't as good as with the iPhone but it's ok.
Here's the problem: when i press the tiny button (not the noise cancel button), the headset no longer shuts off.
It seems i have to disconnect it via either the bluetooth setup or (hopefully) the bluetooth menu (just checked; the menu lets you toggle).
Am i doing something wrong or does the "off" button on the headset no longer work when paired with a MacBook Pro and Leopard 10.5.3?
thanks
Jim

You would have to purchase the new Software and install it.
You have Leopard. If you want Snow Leopard and your computer is compatible, then you would have to purchase and install Snow Leopard.

Tiger Server and Leopard workstatiger and Lepard workstons - Print Services

Good morning. We are running Tiger server with a 'mixed economy' of Tiger and Leopard workstations. I am finding that Workgroup Manager does not manage the print queues for users at Leopard workstations. They can see and use all the printer queues managed by Print Services. The Tiger machines are fine i.e. they just present the print queues that have been allocated by Workgroup Manager.
I assume that this is an anomaly due to Tiger Server not being 100% compatible with Leopard. But has anyone else experience of this and or a possible solution please?

Hi Brian
Not with the Print Service specifically but I have noticed similar 'anomalies' elsewhere. For an OD environment nothing specific as such. Tiger MCX do not seem to 'take' in the same way for Leopard Clients as they do for Tiger Clients.
No shattering insight so sorry for that. Of course - you've guessed it - if its all Leopard there are no problems.

IPhoto '08 and Leopard

I am using an iMac G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, 160 GB Hard Drive and recently upgraded to OS 10.5.1 Leopard. I am using iPhoto '08 Version 7.1.1 (354) and currently have just over 3000 photos (8.2 GB) in the library.
When I try to scroll in the photo viewing window when in "Photos" mode in the source list it is extremely slow, erratic and jerky. Also when in this mode even moving the "Zoom in/Zoom out" slider is slow and jerky. I don't check the "Outline" or "Drop Shadow" in the prefs.
On the other hand when I go to "Events" mode in the source list everything seems to be smooth and fairly rapid, certainly by comparison. I am puzzled and very frustrated by this especially since I went to the trouble and expense to upgrade my memory to 1.5 GBs. Is Leopard the culprit or is it my latest version of iPhoto? Or both?

jerrydav:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think it's the amount of memory that's the culprit. 1.5G is plenty. Is iPHoto slow in opening? Do you open into the Photo section with all thumbnails displayed? If so, select show Event names and close all of the events before shutting down iPhoto. Control click on of of the event triangles to open or close all at the same time. Having all the thumbnails open and fairly large can slow iPhoto a bit.
How much free space do you have on your boot drive? Too little can definitely affect performance, not only of iPhoto but the system and other applications. Report back with how much free space you have.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Release Date for Leopard-Compatible ProTools? Help Please!

Hey,
I think this was the best forum to post this in. :$
I have a Yahama Motif 7 Keyboard ( USB & MIDI Outputs ) connected via MIDI to a Digidesign Driver, which is then connected to my computer via FireWire cable. Logic Studio cannot recognize my Digi002 Driver, and I know this is because I lack ProTools AudioCore Recognition ( or something like that :P ) software.
Does anyone know the expected release date of the version of ProTools that will be compatible with Leopard? Would the hassle to reverting my computer back to Tiger be less than waiting for the new ProTools to come out?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have just upgraded in a quantum leap from a Quicksilver Mac to a Quad Core 3ghz Mac Pro, and swapped out my MBox 2 for a Factory 003. Despite promises to the contrary, the Mac Pro came without Tiger install disks, which I knew I would need. Just Leopard disks and the beast pre-installed. Looks great but of course my Pro Tools 7.3 install failed. I tried the tips to install that were on the digidesign and Mac forums, and still no joy. Apple Care... well, cared and I am now waiting for OEM Tiger 10.4.8 to arrive so I can do a clean erase and install. Hopefully this will then leave me able to plug in the 003 and start having a great deal of fun Apple Care has sworn blind and on pain of spam that the install will work, and that the firmware has not changed since they were shipping the Mac Pro with both Tiger and Leopard install disks. Here's hoping, 'cos I hear not a whisper about Leopard-compatible Pro Tools...

Photoshop CS and Leopard

I've read contradictory reports about CS and Leopard. I know Adobe wasn't going to do anything to improve compatibility, but there could have been issues with earlier versions of Leopard. So I'd like to bring this question up again. I gather that CS will "run," which is more than PS 7 will do, but are there any significant issues?
Thanks.

Kort wrote:

I use File-->Open all the time, and it appears to work just fine for PhotoShop CS under Leopard.
The problem isn't so much that I **can't** use File-->Open, it's that I've routinely used File-->Browse over many years to quickly view thumbnails and file information of related shots (mostly jewelry photos for my wife's website). So the risk of losing 30-60 minutes' work by absent-mindedly selecting a menu item that I've gotten in the habit of using is non-trivial...

Thanks for the info! My first task will be reinstalling PhotoShop CS, but after that I'll definitely look into Onyx.
Buko wrote:

I'm aware that PhotoShop CS and CS2 are noted as having known incompatibilities with Leopard. Not surprising: they were both released before Leopard, so incompatibilities are to be expected.
I'm also aware that CS3 is no longer officially available. Upgrading to CS4 would be problematic for a different reason though: the system requirements state that it requires either a G5- or Intel-based Mac, and mine's a dual-G4. So I either upgrade to CS3 -- which is compatible with both Leopard and a dual-G4 -- or I risk attempting an upgrade to CS4, which is not officially supported on my Mac and might not even install.
