Interesting spec on speed requirements for Leopard

On the readme on the DVD, it clearly says "..G4 (867MHz min) or G5."
I am not sure that these are the exact words, but I am sure about those parentheses, which would indicate that the speed requirement only applies to the G4s.
Now, it may be a typo or a mistake, but it certainly indicates that there is no speed requirement for a G5. It could also be that all G5s are over the minimum, so it's moot - this I don't know.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting.
The instruction manualette is also interesting in that it has almost nothing about the install in it, basically saying stick it in and click. It probably is that easy for most, but I would at least have included some of the install options and what and how the install process works.
I also wonder how many who have had install problems clicked "Skip" on the initial DVD selfcheck?

These manuals didn't come with Leopard? http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/leopard/
Have a nice day!

Simple question - system requirements for Leopard

What are the minimum system requirements for Leopard? Can I install it on a G4 PowerBook?
Presumably I can no longer buy Leopard from Apple? Where can I get hold of a copy (in the UK)?
Thanks

Call the online Apple Store. Though they don't list Leopard on the web site, they probably still have it for sale.

What are the system requirements for Leopard?

Hello,
Does anyone know the system requirements for Leopard? I have been looking all over the forums and Apples Leopard sight but cannot find the system requirements.
Thanks

True Tom a number of vendors do that but usually the condition for debit is that the article is available and they only debit when they dispatch. In this case at issue you make the order. It WILL be dispatched but when you get it it tells you it won't install (maybe). Apple are still playing with it so, possibly, there will be some requirement stemming from Apple Tv or the iPhone that rules out more than G3s.
I doubt if you could put something you could later referr to in court in the 'comments' box on Amazon web order form to plead not fit for purpose. One might say anyone buying a pig in a poke desrves what they get. However this is a broadcast offer for sale by Amazon to a public who will have all sorts of configurations so perhaps they should, to be responsible, remind all those pre-ordering (there are many) nearer the time that the product (I trust Apple will tell them) neds such and such.
My own view is why be in such haste? Is it really necessary to have 10.5 within a week of release? 10.4.9 works OK wait till the system needs are known then order. The world won't fall apart because you are only the fourth kid on the block to have it. Anyway there are bound to be snags turning up once it reaches the hordes with all their many quirky installations. Wait for a few months.

Update download speed requirements for ipad 2

Does anyone know what the update download speed requirements for the 4.3.3 update version is? My connection keeps timing out and my internet company says everything is within expected range on their end.
Thanks.

Temporarily disable your Anti-Virus and Firewall software.
Download the update.
Re-enable the AV and Firewall software.

What's the minimum Clock Speed Requirement for GB3?

What's the minimum Clock Speed Requirement for GB3 (assuming one wishes to create and play mult. audio tracks within this current iLife app)? Is it 733mhz?
Here's what i was able to find on
iLife ’06 requirements:
To install iLife, you need:
• A Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel Core processor; 733 MHZ or faster required for iDVD
• 256 MB of RAM; 512 MB recommended
• Mac OS X version 10.3.9 or Mac OS X version 10.4.3 or later; Mac OS X version 10.4.4 recommended
• iTunes 6.0.2 and QuickTime 7.0.4 (included)
• A DVD drive for installation
• 10 GB of disk space to install iLife '06 applications

Thanks Christoph, TIA, and AppleGuy!
Christoph, what model are you using? You said you have even less Mhz, but your model looks like the same as mine.
TIA, I looked at the other thread (thanks for the link) any idea what other models are affected by the sound output problem?
I probably will back up first just to be safe, and won't try running them both at the same time. I was hoping though to have full functionality of the Podcasting features plus all the old music ones without slowing the machine down.

What is the minimum download speed required for iTunes Match streaming

I have been very interested by iTunes Match, and I have read much about it. The only thing that I have not been able to find is the minimum bandwidth required to stream music to an iPhone. Specifically, I would be looking to stream to an iPhone 5, as well as an iPhone 4. If there is an official minimum requirement, please let me know. If there is no apple specified speed, I would be interested in what you found to be he minimum speed necessary for smooth streaming.
Thanks,

iPhone 4 and 5 will both work well with a good 3G service and much better with 4G. Song file is actually downloaded to allow for all conditions of viable mobile signal.

Am I the only one peeved at the hardware requirements for leopard?

I've got a G3 with a 650Mhz G4 in it with 1 gig of ram, and am a bit dismayed that it looks like I'll have to break the DMCA to install leopard. While my computer might be pretty pokey, I don't create digital media content or do anything on it that is too CPU intensive. I hope that apple includes some way to bypass their hardware requirements. While i realize that they put in these requirements to ensure that their OS looks creamy smooth on what ever it's installed on, I find that it is memory size, graphics card and disk access speed, more than CPU speed that dictates weather or not an OS can run satisfactorily on any given system. I should probably be posting this in the G4 section but I see from the sigs. in here that there are a lot of G4s hiding in blue boxes.
Any thoughts?

True indeed. I have three flavors of Mac OS on my computer, 8.6 9.2.2 and 10.4.10 and they all still have "teh snappy", (though i must admit 8.6 runs like its on fire). Sure photoshop drags a bit in 10.4 but the OS still runs great. The irony is that each new version of OSX seemed to run faster than the previous. I was hoping that with 10.5 and a MacHacked nVidia 5200 video card, I could tease my $windlelowes buddies with a piece of vintage hardware that puts their Vasta bloat-boxes to shame. Ah well I guess there's always Linux©.

Is there anything like Disk Doctor and Speed Disk for Leopard?

Is there any way to do ordinary "maintenance" on a computer using Leopard? Is there any need to do anything? I've had this computer for 8 months now, and I feel kind of guilty not doing anything like running disk doctor for so long!

So Disk Utilities is all I really need to use?
Yes, unless it runs into a disk structure problem it can't fix, in which case DiskWarrior or Techtool Pro may be needed. If you encounter a disk permissions problem which it can't fix, post back or look at the Knowledge Base for help.

Question about minimum speeds required for watching movies.

I watch Netflix on my home computer fine (and Hulu) and will occasionally share the screen with my HDTV and it works fine.
With AppleTV, can I expect to be able to rent/watch movies with basic DSL Internet, with speeds up to 1.5 Mbps?
Or do I really need to have faster Internet to consider it?
Thanks!

I would upgrade. You need at least 3mbps for SD content and 5mbps for HD
Netflix degrades quality based on the connection and you will have a long wait if renting through iTunes.

What exact steps do I need to do upgrade for leopard 10.5.8 software to Lion software??

From searching the Apple web site there is a significant lack of information for Leopard software users using 10.5.8 upgrading to the latest Lion software.
I have a recent iMAC from 2009 using Leopard software 10.5.8 and it is not that old software. The web site talks only about the Snow Leopard software upgrade to Lion as being available to download.
What steps do you need to do if you are a Leopard software user?? There does not seem to be any process steps on what is required for Leopard users which is disappointing and confusing.
1. Do I need to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard and then again to Lion? It seems that you may have to pay 2 times to get the Lion software working.
2. If so, can you download the upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard or do you have to buy the physical Snow Leopard CD software from a store?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Mark

1. Yes, or wait for the 10.7 flash drives to become available in August.
2. You can't download it. If you buy it from an online store, it comes in the form of a DVD shipped to you.

Which Mac Mini Configuration Recommended for Leopard??

I'm about to purchase a new Mini to replace my (beautiful!) G4 Cubes, and would appreciate any comments/recommendations on which configuration to order. I'm planning to get the upgraded 2GB of memory (more is always better!, and my guess would be that the 2.0 GHz processor with a 120 GB HD + SuperDrive should be a nice ticket - or would you recommend a bigger HD? (I don't do intensive graphics or any gaming, but I want to be able to run OS X and MS Windows simultaneously (with Parallels?).
Also... I currently have 2 G4 Cubes networked to run on a single DSL service using a FriendlyNet Ethernet Hub and 2Wire modem. Any problems simply substituting the Mac Mini for one of the Cubes in this network?
Final question, please: With Leopard plus Parallels on the new Mini, what is the minimum Microsoft package I would need to buy in order to open and work with basic Excel, PPS, and Word documents?
With your comments/recommendations, I'm ready to add my contribution to Apple's gross and net income for the current quarter!!..... Thanks!... CaptDenny

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The requirements for Leopard are sufficiently low that even an old Mac mini should run it well, let alone one of the new Core 2 Duo models. As such, the 2.0 model with 2Gb RAM should be more than adequate. Leopard's only notably heavier demand is drive space, now requiring close to 10Gb. Clearly the 120Gb drive standard in the 2.0 model would be adequate to that task, plus allow for use of Windows also. As such, a larger internal drive wouldn't really be recommended, though you may wish to consider adding a good sized external, preferably a firewire connected drive, for extra storage and backup.
Where running Windows is concerned, Leopard comes with BootCamp, so you could use that as opposed to Parallels. The downside is that while BootCamp is free, it doesn't permit the running of MacOS and Windows side by side. At boot, you have to select one or the other. If that meets your needs, then it's a better bet in many ways, since it allows the entire system, memory and processor to be dedicated to whichever OS you need at any given time, rather than shared.
On the other hand, if you need or want to run both MacOS and Windows simultaneously, and switch between them, Parallels is the option that would allow that, though both MacOS and Windows will suffer in terms of absolute performance since RAM and CPU are shared between them.
You should have no problem substituting a new mini into your home network using the same setup as you presently have on the soon to be retired Cube.
To run Excel, PowerPoint and Word, you'll need a copy of MS Office. The current version for Mac is still 2004, which is not Intel native. The updated version to closely match MS Office 2007 for Windows will not be out for Mac until 2008. If you buy a copy of MS Office 2004 for Mac however, you'll get an upgrade to the new version when it is released. Upgrading at that point would be advised since while the current version is not Intel native, the new version due is. If you are a student or teacher, you will qualify for the Academic version at around $150, otherwise it's a little expensive $400 list price.

Is hi-speed required to install Leopard and upgrades?

I recently sold my 17" iMac G4 to a buyer on the internet who has neither DSL or cable connections. She says the iLife '06 that I included won't install because the machine indicates a higher/later version of Tiger is needed and that downloading the upgrade requires a hi-speed connection. Is this accurate? Also, is hi-speed as critical to Leopard as to Tiger. (If not, I would suggest she move up to Leopard and go with either the '06 iLife she already has or pick up iLife '08).
She loves the machine (a new Apple convert), but I feel kind of bad because I know her main interest is editing movies.
Thanks for any info,
Cap

I can't find any info on Tiger anymore, but for Leopard, Apple clearly states:
"Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply."
Without a highspeed inernet pipe, many of the updates will certainly take a long time, and sometimes dialup ISP connections will time out.
However, anyone with a highspeed pipe can download the updates, etc and burn them to a CD or DVD.
Streaming video, audio, etc, naturally requires a highspeed link to work properly.

LR 2 computer requirements for speed

What are the computer requirement for a PC to operate LR2 fast.
Memory amount & speed.
CPU type and speed for 64 bit
Hard drive speed and cache

Sony-naples -- another thought -- since it sounds as if you are about to buy a new computer and have decided on 64 bit to take advantage of LR's designed-in ability to use it -- I'll try to save you from the frustration I had to go through when I made that same decision.
I started out ordering another brand of hardware, supposedly with Vista 64 installed, but they shipped it with a 32 bit Vista. When I complained, they offered me a rebate on the OS which I used to buy the 64 bit OS version. After many hours of frustration and time on the phone with tech support people, one of them confirmed that while my hardware was suitable for 64 bit use, the hardware company had ceased supporting it, so it was lacking a driver. He made an appointment to install the appropriate driver remotely, but when he didn't keep the appointment, I called and got yet another support person who asked if I was aware that would void my warranty, whether that might matter to me, and why did I really need 64 bit. I explained I was buying this expressly to use the 64 bit version of LR. When she understood, she was very helpful - and I sent it back for a full refund. But in the meantime, I had wasted at least a month before I finally got a machine that would do what I wanted.
So in addtion to buying hardware that is adequate for running 64 bit, make sure the company will actually allow you to use it with the 64 bit LR!

Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.

Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.

There may be a few links in Apple Support, regarding articles about how to use iBooks Author
and iBooks Store, etc; these would be separated into two general categories by device used.
Since there is an iOS and an OS X version of each, you may have to look to see what Apple
Support says about the one you are interested in; and how far their database goes toward an
answer to your question. Otherwise, a general search engine approach may be necessary.
Not sure if anything along the lines of what you seek would be available in an App.
References to iBooks Author and iBooks Store, etc appear within these two categories in Support:
For Mac OS X:
http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
For iOS:
http://www.apple.com/support/ios/
Appears a community host moved your earlier post into one of the iBooks Author or Store sections
after I'd replied to what otherwise may be a similar post. Not sure if the links to the Discussions area
of iBooks you are interested in, have similar questions or answers by others who'd visited previously.
Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.
In my reply to your earlier thread, prior to it being moved, those links to sections of iBooks Author, etc
are posted. You can also find them from the main Apple Support Communities page.
Sorry to not be of much help in this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!
