GB08 in leopard

Can someone who is beta testing Leopard confirm whether the latest garage band runs on it?
Thanks.

i'm not a beta tester, but i read that post in logic forums as well, and tend to agree with you, mike.
i have a hard time believing that garageband '08 won't be compatible "out-of-the-box" with leopard.
i also love the way the dude who was fighting with you was acting like he's too good for garageband because he's a logic user. always cracks me up.
i've worked with dozens of major label artists and done music for films, commercials, and games, and i love using garageband. it doesn't replace logic for me, but it's a heck of a lot more fun for just fooling around.

Uh Oh, after Leopard and GB08, MP3 grew from 4.2 to 248 MB?

Just upgraded to leopard and GB 08 -
For about a year, I routinely, though rather without actually knowing what I am doing, send my mp3 lectures (4.2 MB) through garageband, usually just one edit, cutting off the beginning if it is slow, and then to iweb. Today, after installing leopard and garage 08, when I send my podcast episode to iweb, it is 248MB!
So far, I did verify permissions and threw away garageband's preferences, and still the same thing happened. . .
please help this naive user....
thanks in advance

you're using the Share menu to send it to iWeb? what compression setting are you using?

Problems connecting Yamaha P-90 to GB08/Leopard via M-Audio Uno USB

I am able to connect my Yamaha P-90 to my old G4 Powerbook running 10.3.9 using an M-Audio Uno USB MIDI interface. GB correctly detects that a new MIDI device has been added. I have just bought an 20" iMac with Leopard, but it cannot detect the MIDI device when I plug it in. The Yamaha and the interface clearly work, so I assume there must be an issue in Leopard. Do I need to install any specific drivers to make this work? I don't remember having to do this with the old machine, although admittedly it was a while ago.
I've read numerous posts bemoaning the issues that seem to surround trying to connect Yamaha to Apple via USB. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Guy

I just found this on the M-Audio website:
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Plug-ins Incompatible with Leopard?

I've downloaded numerous 3rd party plugs & Garageband (version 4.1.1) doesn't seem to register any of them after dragging the plugs to library>audio>plug-ins>components. I've never encountered this problem with any other OS/version of Garageband. I can live without most of my Waves plugs for awhile since they currently don't support Leopard, but desperately need a deesser and none (including Spitfish) will register. Is this simply just a compatibility issue? If so, are there any known [free] 3rd party developers that support Leopard?
Thanks.

I've actually noticed that several third party plug-ins such as various iZotope aren't visible in GB08. The list incldes Guitar Rig 2, which I used with no problem in the previous verision of GB but it's nowhere to be seen in the list of plug-ins in GB08.
I still use Tiger.

RE; The stability and recommendations of LEOPARD thus far

Is 10.5.1 stable enough to install on my QUAD 2.5?
interested in mostly using pshop CS3, GB08, mail firefox,
or
is it still not safe and causing problems.
Tiger is great so should i remain a TIGER?????

Well, I installed Leopard the day after it went on sale and so far, so good. I have had a few glitches but nothing major (yet).
The issues I had:
1) I once changed the view of a finder window from list to icons and it didn't show the correct number of files in icon view. I sent this bug to Apple.
2) My keyboard stopped working about 4 or 5 times so far. Had to log out and back in to work.
3) Dashboard didn't work for about a week. Works now, don't know why.
4) A few days ago, I went into my admin account to run the daily and weekly maintenance scripts from the terminal and the terminal came up but there was nothing there but a cursor. Restarting didn't help. I downloaded cocktail, ran them from it and now the terminal works (but the maintenance scripts still don't run. I don't understand this as I use the exact command given from Apple's support page).
When I installed Leopard, I accidently went right into installing it and I wanted to do an archive and install. I sweated the who process but, it seems to have all gone well. I don't know what to recommend to you as far as installing but I would DEFINITELY recommend backing up your HD before you install it.
There have been people having issues with Leopard and to me, it seems like there are more issues with it than there was for 10.4. However, in my opinion, this is the best OS Apple has ever produced.
What I really like about it is that it's pleasingly noticeably faster than 10.4 was on my machine.
You can get an excellent review of it at arstechnica.com. The link is below.

When I sync my iPod to my MacBook through iTunes new events do not show up and old events are not deleted. I am using Snow Leopard and not iSync.

I am using Snow Leopard on a MacBook. I have an iPod touch 3G. I do not use iSync it Mobile Me. When I sync my iPod through iTunes new events on my iPod do not show up on my Mac and old events do not delete. I have read help instructions that include deleting the data on the iPod. The iPod has the correct data and the Mac does not so I have not followed those instructions. I need help as the only reason I bought the Mac was to be able to sync, back up, view and print my calendar. Currently it is useless. If only Apple could have learned from the elegance of the Palm software.

Previewing videos in Quick Look isn't the same in Snow Leopard.

Does previewing videos on Quick Look in Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard no longer allows you to use the two finger gesture to move forward or backwards in the video, or is it just me?

I can not do that either, then again, I never tried it in Leopard so... hope that helps

I have a 27 in. iMac with the latest version of Snow Leopard. When Lion comes out, will it be software I purchase and download online? I am trying to prepare for cost and don't have a point of reference, having been a Windows guy until last summer.

I want to know what to expect in terms of moving from one OS to another. Having been a Windows guy until last summer, my only experience is going from one version of Windows to another, which is usually a fairly costly purchase. I will want to go to Lion, but as a retired teacher, my income is fixed. I am not looking for a specific price, I am sure that is unknown, but I would just like to know help Apple does these things so I won't be sadly surprised.

Historically Apple has sold OS X upgrades via DVD media however with the advent of the Mac Apple Store that throws another possibility into the mix. That's about as much as I can say as these forums don't allow us to speculate about future products. As for the cost historically Apple has priced OS X upgrades between $29-$129, the last upgrade (Snow Leopard) was only $29 but that was an exception. Again we cannot speculate on these forums about that. The good news is that Apple is unlike Microsoft which makes OS upgrades expensive and complicated. The choice with OS X is do you want a server version (most users don't need one) or a single computer license. The users that buy server versions tend to have a number of Macs they manage from a server, most consumers don't have this issue.
Keep reading the news, as you know Apple has announced a Summer release for Lion.
Upgrades on OS X are usually very simple. I've upgraded from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and each transition has been very easy. With any major OS upgrade there are some basic rules to follow, for example always, always, always backup prior to any update. When Lion is released to the general public post again for what to do to prepare or even do a Google search on "How to prepare for OS X upgrade" and you will find a number of articles that will provide some suggestions and valuable insight. You can also re-post here and users will be happy to assist.

Time Machine on Snow Leopard just doesn't work.

So I've had huge nightmares over the past few days over Time Machine.
So I've always been a big proponent of Time Machine. I always tell everyone that you NEED a backup solution, and while Time Machine may not be the be all and end all, it's a great starter solution for those that don't want any fuss.
But perhaps not anymore.
It just works, right? Well apparently not.
So a little while ago I performed a Time Machine-assisted hard drive swap for a MacBook (not mine). That is, I install a new drive, boot from SL DVD, perform a HD wipe, then restore from Time Machine. It seemed to go well.
Fast forward to more recently, I went on a trip overseas (Taiwan). While there, I obviously took a lot of photos, and it became that time again - purchase a new hard drive with more capacity for my MacBook Pro! HD were a little cheaper where I visited, so I not only bought a new drive for my MBP, but also a new drive for my wife's MB, as well as new external drives to upgrade our Time Machine drives.
While I was there, I decided to update my own Time Machine first - following the instructions from Apple's own knowledge base on the matter:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
I transferred my existing backups to the new drive to continue my Time Machine. I didn't notice any problem at the time.
Then I returned to my home country (New Zealand). First thing I did when I got back was to perform the Time Machine-assisted HD swap after making sure the OS were up-to-date as were their respective backups, on both my own MBP and my wife's MacBook.
That's when the troubles started.
First off, I noticed that a few images from my Aperture Library were missing. The album data and everything were there, but the actual files were not. They also did not exist anywhere on the Time Machine drive and as such never made it over to the new HD. Weird, I thought. They were there, clear as day on my original drive. They simply weren't backed up.
Now I'm aware of a few TM niggles, such as the false backups after verifying a disk, but I hadn't done that.
The second issue was much more major. My Wife's MB would be endlessly stuck on the white boot screen with the grey Apple logo. As it turns out, it's exactly this issue here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2738620?threadID=2738620&tstart=74
In short, the fresh Time Machine backups I made before transferring to the new HD showed no sign of updating the /System/Library/Framework/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security package, which is REQUIRED for the Mac to boot into 10.6.7 (it had an old one from before).
Great, I thought, but maybe I can fix that by installing a fresh 10.6.7 combo update on the MB via target disk mode.
No dice. On trying, it goes all the way to the end, and then fails installation. I had to resort to copying over the correct, more recent security package just to get it to boot.
After booting, what to do? Who knows what other files Time Machine failed to update, and what consequences they would have. After putting back the original security package, I tried updating 10.6.7 again. Nope, no dmgs would open - i HAD to use the new Security package for anything to open. Fair enough, but even with that, the installation would inevitably fail.
Problem with the package? Nope. Tried a fresh download, and checked the SHA and everything.
Time to do some blitzing. I pulled out my trusty Snow Leopard DVD and did a reinstall on top. That's gotta get my problem, right? Well, nope. After resetting to 10.6.0, the 10.6.7 combo updater STILL failed on installation. Furthermore, the updater no longer worked on MY MBP either.
What gives?
As it turns out, it was related to this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11317470?messageID=11317470
In short, some files had the user immutable flag switched on, preventing changes from being made to those files (manifests as a little lock icon on the file icon). They included (and I'm sure not limited to) the Acknowledgement.rtfs in /Library/Documentation/, as well as a majority of the fonts in /Library/Fonts.
Checking back in the backup drives, it was clear that Time Machine was the culprit - instances of those files in the backups were also locked. When did that happen? Looking back, it looks like it happened when I transferred the backups from one Time Machine drive to another. But it wasn't all at once - in the first backup on one drive, one of the Acknowledgement.rtf files was locked, and the other one wasn't, but in the second onwards, both were. It was clear that Time Machine seemed to be doing it to those files. Which files and why? I have no idea.
So removing the uchg flag with "sudo chflags -R nouchg /" in terminal finally allowed me to apply the 10.6.7 combo update without failure.
So were the troubles over then?
Nope.
While checking if everything was fine, I noticed iPhoto on the MB had all the thumbs missing - after rebuilding, they weren't back, and only a .plist trashing fixed it (I consider this pretty normal - probably looking for the files on the old UUID drive or something).
But what gives? ALL the photos taken on the trip were gone! Not just the thumbs - the actual files were missing from the iPhoto Library! The data in the albums existed, just the actual files, just like my instance in Aperture on my own MBP.
Checked the Time Machine - again, it was clear Time Machine had completely stuffed up - the files were nowhere to be found on the Time Machine drive.
So currently, I've returned the original internal drive to the MacBook, performing a FRESH on new reformatted disk Time MAchine, and will use THAT to restore.
Nightmares, indeed. It's several days of work doing all the restores, considering I have limited drives to work with. And yes, rest-assured, I was doing enough permission repairs, and PRAM resets to ensure they weren't issues.
It occurs to me there are several faults with the most recent version of Time Machine (maybe 10.6.6 or something as that's when people had some of the issues above):
1) At some point in time, Time Machine may not update a necessary Security package (and probably other files too - I believe the files around it were also not updated), meaning that if you use that Time Machine to restore, the outdated package will cause your computer to fail to boot.
2) Transferring your backups to a new destination Time Machine drive may cause certain files to become user immutable or 'locked', with one consequence being you cannot update the OS.
3) Time Machine may fail to backup image files with the Aperture or iPhoto Library. Trying to remember back, I *think* this may be related to the fact that we changed time zones, as the unupdated image files were after the zones were changed. Strangely, every other file within the Library packages were updated, as album data was updated - just not the actual image files and folders.
Conclusion? I no longer trust Time Machine. The basic foundation of a backup service is that you trust it to do what it's supposed to do. After all this, how can I?
You might think they are isolated incidents, but they were occurring on two Macs that I have, and they same errors can be found in others.I think I have detailed some root causes, but who really knows.
At any rate you should keep an eye on at least these files I have detailed. Would love to hear Pondini on the matter, as I know he knows a lot about Time Machine.

Someone has suggested just installing Snow Leopard on the machine. Will that work?
If you can find a copy of the workstation version of Snow Leopard shipped with the same model of Mac mini, yes. Apple has not, to my knowledge, shipped a retail version of Snow Leopard new enough to boot your mini.
I've also heard there is a way to install SL while connected to my old Powerbook in order to suck the entire old drive onto the new machine in an operable manner. Is this accurate, and can this be done if my old machine is the Powerbook on the old apple chip when the new machine is intel based
No, it's not accurate. The OS on your PowerBook will not boot your mini.
what are the differences between the single pack and the family pack?
If you mean single and family pack of Mac OS X, the single pack is licensed for installation on one computer only, while the family pack is licensed for installation on up to five Macs.
Regards.

Mail wont open in Leopard

Have upgraded to Leopard also installed XP Pro in NTFS format, I use Leopard for all day to day stuff and XP Pro infrequently. When I try and launch MAIL the following message appears on screen MAIL WONT LAUNCH. During the set up of XP Pro I went on line and validated. I was wondering if this has blocked my mail. Safari is working fine and all other network links around the office are fine.
Thanks

Sounds like you've co-minglied an old install?
Check your MAIL app version...should be 4.2. If not and you can't find it, do a custom install from the SL DVD and choose to install related applications only.
If still no joy, try this - find the /Library/Preferences folder in your user/Home folder and then locate and delete this file:
com.apple.mail.plist
*Caution* - doing this may clear your account settings so be sure to note those first in the event you are required to reconfigure, etc.

Icon bounces and iCal crashes immediately in Leopard

I did not even have a chance to check email notification issues.
iCal fails to open since 10.5 upgrade.
the icon bounces in the dock, iCal windows fleshes for a split of a second - and that is it. Apparently, something tells iCal to quit, as it is not noticed by the system as failure. I do not get the usual report to Apple thing after other crashes.
I tried deleting all my iCal files (calendars, plists, calendar entries, iSync files), but the only change is, after the first run, the iCal launches and quits much faster.
Creating other account makes it possible to run iCal over there, so one of my original user files or permissions is perhaps corrupt.

I was in the same boat with iCal crashing after install of Leopard. And I may have an answer for you.
Observations:
Like you I tried the deletion of related caches and preferences, but also went through a reinstall of iLife '06 to no avail.There seemed to be another symptoms to the problem. When connecting my iPod to iTunes the Contacts tab shows syncing of calendars is not checked. When attempting to reestablish the sync, a message replies that there are no calendars available.
What worked for me:
1 Remove the calendars from your user library to the desktop.
2 Start ical
3 When the Blank calendar shows up go to File and import each of your calendars from the desktop.
Good Luck

Can't install Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro - DVD won't mount

I am unable to install Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro as the DVD won't mount. This is an early 2008 vintage MacBook Pro, intel core duo...
I'm using a OS X Snow Leopard install DVD (family licensed). This DVD has been used to install 3 other Macs in my house without a problem (about a year ago), but cannot be used to upgrade my MBP. Actually, this disk mounted on the MBP exactly once - inserted with system up, the disk mounted. Upon running the installed (a year ago), the computer restarted but hung in boot. After getting the disk ejected and the computer restarted, the disk would never mount again. I've defered upgrade for a year but at this point need to upgrade my MBP at least to Snow Leopard and possibly Lion.
The problem doesn't seem to be with the DVD, since it continues to mount fine in other computers, and in fact a borrowed Snow Leopard DVD also will not mount on the MBP.
BUT ... the problem also does not seem to be with the optical drive in my computer, as it can read & mount the install/restore disks that came with the computer as well as other CDs and DVD ROMs. Only the Snow Leopard install DVDs fail to mount.
I've also tried mounting the 10.6 install DVD on my Mac Pro desktop, making it available over the network (ethernet) with DVD/CD sharing. I can mount the remote disk from my MBP that way, but when I launch the installer, the application launches (its own menus are displayed, I can quit from menu, for example) but does nothing -- no windows open, nothing.
I've also tried "Remote Install" (again with the DVD made available with the Remote Install MacOS X application on my desktop), but when I boot the MBP with option held down, the remote disk is not available as a startup disk.
Zapping the PRAM did not help.
Am off to the store to get an optical drive cleaning kit and a blank DVD big enough to burn a new disk image, but would appreciate any further ideas at this point....

Solution that worked: Copy the Install DVD to a USB flash drive and boot from that.
http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html
Up and running with Snow Leopard now and working on the updates.

How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer?

How many times can you clean install leopard on the same computer? Will the leopard dvd run out of installations and not let you install anymore?

Hi colman Prez;
Now that the funny comments have been made, I have a serious question and that why are you worry about reinstalling Leopard with an Erase & Install which is what I take that you mean when you say clean install. In actually fact there is no such thing in OS X as a clean install.
I am curious because in all the years I have used OS X, I have yet to do an Erase & Install yet.
I know with Windows that they suggest reformatting and reinstalling at the drop of a hat but that isn't true with OS X.
