Four Days With Leopard

Monday afternoon I did a clean install on my Powerbook G4. (sorry, when Tiger came out I did an Upgrade/Archive install and two days later cleaned house and did a clean install because of all the problems. This is a very vanilla laptop! I have found some real likes and dislikes (the transparent dock and toolbar has got to go!) and have found a couple of program problems -- Lightroom 1.2 won't print (a known problem to Adobe) and Quicken 2007 shows a few annoying bugs -- to move from one entry to the next (and to save the last entry) I have to hold down the Apple key and hit enter. If you want to show an entry has cleared the bank, you click on the area you use for clearing checks and reconciling the account then put up with a popup window which gives you the option to - "don't show this message again" but you can't tick the box. I'm not real fond of Stacks but -- "maybe" and repairing disc permissions takes forever - even after the initial repair. I am seriously holding off installing Leopard on my MacPro, which is my photography workhorse, until Adobe fixes the Lightroom print issue and Apple has a chance to clean up here and there -- and maybe Intuit gets its act together (although it claims Quicken 2007 is fully compatible with Leopard). I looked to Time Machine as being the big selling point for me because I am a backup fanatic, but until I can put Leopard on my MacPro, I won't know its value. In short, Nice OS but I haven't found anything I just can't live without.

Just about to go GET Leopard, and I am glad I read THIS..

PAID BILL WAS TERMINATED FOUR DAYS LATER I HAVE SCREEN SHOTS TO PROVE I PAID BUT CANNOT SEE MY PAYMENT HISTORY,,WHAT THE HELL?

Cece72,
This is extremely alarming to hear! I need some clarification to help. What do you mean by the bill was terminated? Do you mean your services were stopped? Do you have a prepay or a postpay account with us?

I bought Napoleon Total War from iTunes on 13 July. It downloaded properly and appeared on my iMac. Now, four days later I cannot find the application on 'Applications' or anywhere else on the computer, even with the help of Spotlight. Help.

I bought Napoleon Total War from iTunes on 13 July for £20.99. It downloaded properly and appeared on my iMac. Now, four days later I cannot find the application on 'Applications' or anywhere else on the computer, even with the help of Spotlight. Help.

A refund may not be possible since the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:

It's possible they'll make an exception for you.
Good luck.

How do I cancel an email I tried to send--I was a dolt and sent one with 8 photos (actual size) and my phone has been trying to send for four days. Thank you! Jeff

Greetings from Beantown!
I was a dolt and tried to email 8 photos (actual size) from my iPhone 4S and now my phone has been "working" trying to send for four days. Verizon has texted me that all my data for monthly plan is now used up and I am not able to "cancel" send for the message. Does anyone know how to cancel an email that is being sent?
Many thanks,
Jeff

Put your phone in Airplane mode, go to the mail app & see if you can delete the stuck mail now. If not, while still in Airplane mode, send yourself an email, it will go to the outbox, see if you can now delete both.

ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition will not work with leopard

When I installed a new ATI Radeon 9600 Mac & PC Edition, 256MB; my Dual 2 GHz G5 (June 2004) will not allow me to drive my Apple Cinema Display while running under leopard, (neither 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 with Leopard Graphics Update).
The mac starts up as usual and gets to the white screen with Apple logo -then the progress ring eventually stalls. The mouse pointer becomes visible and can be moved freely around this screen.
I can connect from other macs on the network and navigate files, but screen sharing results in an all black window.
The Radeon 9600 works fine if I start up the mac with the Tiger installation disk.
I have tried every suggestion that I could find on these boards and elsewhere: zapped the pram, reset the SMU, installed older ATI Drivers, etc...
Of course the G5 is far out of warranty. I've been running Leopard since the day it shipped - so that's out of warranty now, and there is little help to be found on the ATI/AMD website. I'm afraid I'll have to return the card before Apple releases another graphics update.
The stock graphics card that came with this mac is the nVIDIA 64MB GeForce FX 5200 - but it's having trouble keeping up with Leopard's demands - my isight barely works, most special effects in iChat and PhotoBooth are unusable, and of course I'm not given the option to use a transparent menu bar,
I am really good at swapping video cards in the G5 now - but I'm so frustrated.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
thanks

For four days I have been unable to open a lot of documents. When I try I get a message "The document "name" could not be opened. You don't have permission. This has happened to an important letter which I corrected four times. My Mac has altered the name

This problem began when I typed in an address http www etc., making one mistake in the address. I corrected it and then tried to copy the address because it was long (I wanted to be able to acces it another time), and that's when the trouble starrted. I just copt documents to get a new one because it's quicker, but it is unorthodox, I know. Since then whenever I copy a document i cannot open it, and it often puts a gobledegook ending to the document name. I've started emailing texts to myself so as to keep them, but I MUST be able to use documents normally. I hava a MacBook Pro, using OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I don't like it. It's fairly new, and has messed up my system of documents : the size is alll wrong and the tabulations are worse than ever. I use text edit because I wanted to use Macdictate because I am handicapped (arthritis and firbomyalgia) but I have never been able to get it to work. Since I changed OS I cannot use Text edit properly any more. Please help me. I think it must be a bug that came through when I was putting this address in four days ago. I went to the site once I'd corrected the address and it was perfectly normal. I shall ring them today and ask them if this has happened to anyone else. I live in France. Thank you for your advice. Because I am handicapped and I do not dirve, it is very difficult to get to a Mac store. I deleted Mac cloud documents because I don't want to use it and I thought it might solve the problem, but it didn"t.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?

I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
Thanks for any suggestions.
-Vincent

> Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
b FUD
I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
b irresponsible
advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
"Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
Vincent-
> I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
i simultaneously,
and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

After a week with Leopard.

The good news for me is that is mostly stable. The bad news is that it has some unreproducible quirks on my machine. To share two with you:
1. At one point, the keyboard worked for application, but not in the Finder. This meant that I couldn't perform a search or invoke Finder menus using the keyboard. Very strange. A restart solved the problem.
2. At one point, TM and the Address Book decided to go to war. When I opened the address book and the invoked Time Machine, the dock would not disappear. This mean that I couldn't cancel out of TM because the Dock was in the way. I had to hide the dock in order to cancel out of TM. A restart solved the problem.
Looks like memory is getting a little kerfluffled in Leopard. I tend to keep a lot of programs open, so I'm not sure if it is Leopard or a misbehaving application.
On the bright side, even with some quirks, Spaces for me is fantastic. I can now keep all the apps open that I use during the day without having to play hide the application. Spaces was really done right. Congrats to Apple for that one.
Even with its quirks, Leopard is usable for me. It hasn't actually crashed, caused me a data loss, etc. I'm keeping my Tiger backup around just in case I need to revert, but overall, I'm pretty happy with Leopard. Sounds like some fixes are in the works which should make Leopard even more stable.

Hi abrody,
I checked the panic log. I was very concerned because I just put new memory in and thought that there was a real possibility of a bad memory chip. On further research, I tend to think not. Here is a dump of the log:

The thing is, HueyAmbient has been misbehaving as it has not been updated for Leopard. (It's a monitor calibration software/hardware combo from Pantone.) Since I've taken it out of Login Items, the system has been rock solid.
One other issue does concern me though. I followed the Cntrl-D startup instructions to do a hardware test and my machine never booted. It gets to the gray Apple screen and stays there. I am using the original Install disc supplied with the machine. Any thoughts?

Anyone got one to work with Leopard yet?

Posted this Rant at the end of another Topic, slightly OT so reposting here (with some additions):
I wish I could report that iTunes 7.6 broke my apple tv, because that would mean it had been working up until very recently. Sadly however, it hasn't been used since i put leopard on my media server (mac mini).
I bough one of the first batch of 40Gb ones before there were 160Gb ones, and have had to remove and re-add it to iTunes (streaming) every time i used it until leopard. now it will sometimes put in a fleeting appearance when removing a disk or plugging in an iPod.
Once it was even there long enough to tell it to sync one film. Since leopard my work around has been to remove and add it again but with syncing not streaming then sync the one film or tv show that is required. unfortunately this has only worked once.
What have I Tried To fix this i hear you cry well...
Under Tiger:
complete os rebuild, disabling firewall, rebuilding mac subnet from ground up playing sequentially with advanced router properties (yes i do know what i am doing, I'm a paid IT Technician) calling in a friend with networking and IT communications degree to help, calling in father with 20 years corporate network design experience.
End result? nothing changed in the way my network was setup, as nothing was wrong with the way i had it set up to begin with (that said the initial setup of the router justifies a whole f*ing essay). during this time all mac's at all times had current software. i took all software updates hoping for a fix. in the mean time using the workaround described above.
Under Leopard:
Are you Joking? even less functionality. after reading up and discovering you CAN'T DISABLE the leopard firewall yet, devised new work around (as above) worked once, gave up. too much to deal with with wifi connections under leopard dropping out continuously.
Result: useless piece of kit with truly wonderful and sleek looking software interface.
I think a large part of the problem is my laughable router which seems to flake out requiring a cold restart multiple times a day. (airport extreme 'n' 1st generation).
Both are just under a year old. I'll wait for 10.5.2 + Apple TV update + update to airport extreme base station (hopefully when time caplsule comes out).
If this doesn't resolve all my issues I'll just return ATV + AEBS, call it a day with apple networking and get a netgear n router, and one of those network HDD's with video playing capability and a tv output and hook both things up by my tv. no video conversion to itunes required. wireless n access to my media. half the cost, job done.
Don't get me wrong, mac's are still amazing but these two devices have shattered my faith in apple products, unless it's a mac or an iPod, I'll steer clear in future.
I would go back to Tiger but it is too much hassle now. They'll fix the WIFI and the firewall in 10.5.2 at which point there'll be nothing to stop me using my machines with leopard. updates for pro software continue to be released and nearly all of my applications worked with a clean install anyway.
Back to the topic, has anyone else got an ATV with leopard that does nothing at all? i want to be able to say to them that the product they sold me is not fit for purpose and return it under that premise.
Also if anyone has a fix (non voodoo please) I'd gladly eat my hat and just start using the bloody thing, albeit 10 months after purchase.

You say you tried switching off the firewall i tried that too and your quite right it seems that it will not work with the firewall off. as turning it off does not turn it off.
sos10: "I did make sure however iTunes wasn't on the list in the Firewall settings."
The list your talking about (if you're talking about the leopard firewall) is the list of programs WITH access. so if you have it set to: "set access for specific services and applications"; iTunes would have to be in that list with "allow all incoming connections".
The only other setting is essential services only which doesn't work. As this doesn't include the port we need to get a connection.
out of the three the one that works the most is the: "set access for specific services and applications"
iTunes - "allow all incoming connections"
This i when i get the odd reminder vis the devices list that i have a useless £200 electrical device heating up my front room.
Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if you could actually open a port in a firewall (shock horror). I know they'd have to hide the option away somewhere so as not to mess up the simplicity of the interface!

Any known software conflicts with Leopard

I am really frustrated. I've been an exclusive mac user since 87. I have had major problems with leopard that remind me of the pre-OSX days. Apps hanging, crashing, not shutting down (and I'm talking Apple apps like Safari). My computer hangs on shut down while Updating Boot Caches (I've let the thing run over night hoping I was just being impatient.). I have even had some kernel panics. I've run disk utility, TechTool Pro, and DiskWarrior. When I run these apps, some times they find problems and sometimes they don't. The hardware checks are okay. I have done a clean install of Leopard. And of course, everything is up to date. I have even had trouble syncing with dotmac with the syncs getting out of sync and constantly asking me which one I want to keep.
I never, ever had these problems with Tiger.
My final guess is that maybe there is some rouge piece of software that doesn't work well with Tiger.
Is there a list.
Any help?
Ever so frustrated,
Paul

What you did was an erase and install.
Check with each application vendor for software compatibility. The way you can tell if an application is compatible is if the actual update is said to be compatible.
I.e, when it says:
10.4.x and above means 10.4.0 and 10.4.1 compatible.
10.4.x and 10.5.x and above it means 10.4.0 - 10.4.11, and 10.5.0, and 10.5.1 compatible. No assurance though exists for Intel compatibility, unless it says Application Universal in the Finder menu -> Get Info information about the application. Rosetta applications are typically PowerPC compatible, with dependence on PowerPC drivers and may not always work with Intel Macs.
10.4.x and 10.5.0 to 10.5.2 it means it is compatible with the most recent release. The Intel Mac disclaimer applies here as well.
10.4.x and 10.5.0 to 10.5.2 PowerPC and Universal means it will work with PowerPC and Intel Macs running Tiger and Leopard to present day.
10.3.x and above does not mean 10.4.x compatible, nor does it mean 10.5.x compatible. There are some exceptions if the software was developed within the framework of Rosetta.
Visit http://www.macupdate.com/ and http://www.versiontracker.com/ for the most current info on application compatibility. If there are any applications you are uncertain about their compatibility and want to make sure you remove them entirely, use http://www.appzapper.com/

Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3

In addition to the network server corruption issue being experienced by everyone with CS3 and OS X 10.5.3, since Wednesday my CS2 version 9 Photoshop files are turned into corrupted, flattened Mexican rug files when I save to my own G5 pre-Intel hard drive. This is specifically happening when I save files to my hard drive and then shut down the computer minutes later. When I restart minutes later, the files saved just prior to shutdown are flattened and corrupted into a very colorful, horizontally banded Mexican rug. Which would be nice if I was designing Mexican rugs, but I'm not. Files saved during the day with no shutdown appear to be okay.
This has happened twice since Wednesday.
I also noticed that when I shut down since the Leopard 10.5.3 update, things won't shut down properly and hang. Can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit), OS X, or a combination. So I have to shut down the power. Both times when I've done this, it resulted in corrupted files, even though their saves were completed prior to shutdown.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard.
Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do.
I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

Wendell,
If your system is hanging upon shutdown, and files being saved immediately before shutdown are corrupted, then I'd say that the save process is not complete when you are shutting down. Otherwise it makes no sense, as your system does not know that you are going to shut down at that point.
Have you done system maintenance? And immediately before you upgraded to Mac OS X v10.5.x did you boot off the System disc and repair permissions and your drive? And did you boot off Alsoft's DiskWarrior and do the same? And then repeat the permissions repair immediately after the upgrade? Did you reinstall your apps from their original discs? If running maintenance now does not repair the issues AND if your system was behaving properly before, you may want to do an archive and restore to Mac OS X v10.4.11 until Apple has a further fix for Mac OS X v10.5.x.
Note that many of us who have pre-Intel machines that do not require Mac OS X v10.5.x have not upgraded -- Mac OS X v10.4.x is very stable. It is compatible with all CS3 apps (except as noted on the box by Adobe).

Photoshop CS2 file corruption with Leopard 10.5.3 update

In addition to the network server corruption issue being experienced by everyone with CS3 and OS X 10.5.3, since Wednesday (and the 10.5.3 update) my CS2 version 9 Photoshop files are turned into corrupted, flattened Mexican rug files when I save to my own G5 pre-Intel hard drive. This is specifically happening when I save files to my hard drive and then shut down the computer minutes later. When I restart minutes later, the files saved just prior to shutdown are flattened and corrupted into a very colorful, horizontally banded Mexican rug. Which would be nice if I was designing Mexican rugs, but I'm not. Files saved during the day with no shutdown appear to be okay.
This has happened twice since Wednesday.
Please note that my Photoshop "save" is completed BEFORE I shut down, by several minutes.
Also, in both cases, an application was hanging and wouldn't force quit, which initiated my shutting down. First it was iTunes, then it was Mail. So I can't figure out if this is Photoshop, iTunes (it wouldn't force quit once), OS X, or a combination. But the only thing I can do is shut down the power.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple thing or an Adobe thing? I wonder if this is one of the "issues for which there is no resolution" that Adobe says can happen using CS2 on Leopard. Or part of the Leopard update. Or both cooperating together.
Anybody have any solutions to this, other than going back to 10.5.2 (or Tiger) ? I've been backing up multiple copies of files at different times of the day in different places. I don't know what else to do. Can't work much longer with corruption over my head. Leopard has been one long big headache.
I have 2.5 GB of RAM, 96 GB of free disk space, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL.

The problem, as I see it, is; "which comes first - the chicken or the egg?" To explain, I am currently operating on an iMac G5, running OS X 10.3.9...... and I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Preminum installed on my computer. Okay now my question..or rather questions (plural) are; #1 If I upgrade my operating system to OS X 10.4. (Tiger) is Adobe CS2 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc) compatible with OS X 10.4?
* Okay let's supposed the answer to #1 is; "yes - it's compatible.....CS2 will run fine on OS X 10.4
#2 Next question - Will Adobe CS2 run (without any problems) if I were to upgrade to OS X 10.5 (Leopard)? I believe, from what I have been reading the answer to this is; "No, Adobe CS2 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5". Okay let's say that I would then have to plunk the bucks and upgrade to Adobe CS3. On to the next and final question........
#3 Okay if I were to upgrade my OS to OS X 10.5 what do I upgrade first??? The operating system (which is not compatible with Adobe CS2 or the Adobe CS3 suite (which is not compatible with my present OS (OS 10.3.9)??? I have found nothing at either Adobe or Apple web sites which addresses this specific issue. I guess it's just like people - when your systems and software become outdated, the **** with you.
Like I said; Which comes first - the chicken or the egg?
PS: from what I have read on this thread it appears that people really don't read what someone is saying.....you (LoobyDooby) were taking about CS2 and suddenly everyone else stated taking about CS3. It's like tech support........you ask about "apples" and they tell you that "oranges" are not in season.......huh???

Four day holiday kickoff sale? Did we skip over the end of Oct and go straight into November?

I'm just kind of curious and trying to figure out exactly WHAT holiday it is that you guys are celebrating with this four day kickoff sale?
Halloween?
Or have you guys and other retailers decided to add Chrimbus from Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job to plug in a fictional holiday to spur sales with that we don't know about?
Apologies in advance if there IS some sort of legit holiday that I'm forgetting. But if there isn't then this is a pretty funny use of the term holiday imo.

Greetings CheapestGamer,
It is crazy how fast this year has gone! With November being less than a week away now, I can say that holiday shopping is going to start very soon. In fact, some of my family begins their holiday shopping in July!
This sale is kicking off the holiday season with early season savings for our customers that like to get a head start on any holiday shopping. I apologize if you are unsatisfied with the timing of this sale or if it has caused you any confusion.

Thank you for posting!

AE not working with Leopard and fed up

It happened a while ago, and set it up again, and again, again.
It all stated after upgrading to Leopard
Today I was about to listen to some music through AE, and once again it didn't work. I had the green light on, it shows as connected in my router setup page. I have change internet suppliers a couple of month ago and have brand new router, but it was happening with my previous router too. In fact in the last 5 months I have used 4 different router, all branded. Airport Utility couldn't find AE.
Today I spend more than 2h simply trying to set it up again.
It took 4 or 5 hard reset before Airport Utility finally found the AE.
When I clicked on continue, 9 time out of 10 I got
Base Station Error
Airport Utility was unable to find Apple wireless device
while it is was obliviously showing before
and back to hard reset.
If I connect an ethernet cable I get the self-addressed IP trouble, but strangely I have managed to set up AE only when the ethernet cable was connected, but the set-up was through WIFI, as it asked me to switch network.
I tried to switch off the firewall with no success either.
I looked at my local wireless networks using iStumber, and once again find some new network with the same channel as mine, so I changed mine to a channel not used. I did this a month ago already.
As I said some how after 2h of wasted time etc, I finally managed to get it going, and started to listen to some radio with Airfoil. After about an hour of listening, it when dead again.
Airport Utility doesn't find the device any more, like at the start of the day. iTunes doesn't make it available, my green light is on, my router shows it as connected, and of course I cannot print any more.
I am getting really fed up. It has been working ok for a couple of years with Tiger, but with Leopard it just works when either it wants.
After all these are Apple products, are not cheap, and don't work.
All are with last firmware, last upgrade etc..
Please tell me why all this is happening, why there isn't any fixes. We are 10.5.6 more than 18 month after launch of Leopard, with snow leopard about to become available. Is it because I am using a non intel machine?
Many thanks

Reading over your message, I am a little unclear about how far along you are in sharing your LightRoom setup with the Laptop. I am going to assume that right now Lightroom and the pictures are both on the PC and on an internal Hard Drive. And except for the scary message you had at the beginning of changing to ver 1.2, everything is working ok. Yes?
What I'd do is wait until you get the external drive up and working. Once you are satisfied that the system works ok, and you have tested it with whatever diagnostic software you use, you are ready to start moving your images to the new drive.
Do a good backup of your images to your backup drive.
Move them to the hard drive from within Lightroom: Use the '+' symbol in the heading of the Folders panel to tell LR to add a new folder from the external drive to the LR folders panel, and then drag and drop the folders already in LR over to their new home.
This way the LR Catalog will always know where the files are.
Then when you are sure that all the image files are on the external drive and LR sees them all and everything is working correctly, exit from LR and copy the catalog file over there.
I used to use windows systems, although I converted to Mac a few years ago. You should be able to double-click on that catalog file that is on the external drive and it should start Lightroom and you should be good to go.
I just used the word "should" three times meaning I'm not really positive about that last step; if I'm wrong I hope someone on a PC will post a correction.
Once it is working OK on the PC with the external drive Load LR on the Laptop.
Best Wishes!
