Is 10.5.6 stable enough to take Tiger into the Leopard world

i run one mac pro with 10.5.5
i have a quad G5 with TIGER which i would like to upgrade to leopard but am afraid
mostly use photoshop garageband expression media firefox
are systems more stable with 10.5.6
any thing to recommend please

Some older versions of photoshop have issues with Leopard according to forum posts I've seen.
CS3/4 work fine.
Be sure you keep a working Tiger backup on hand in case you have to roll back.
10.5.6 seems to be fine on my Mac Pro. I had difficulties with 10.5.5 and 10.5.3, but 10.5.6
has been wonderful so far. For me 10.5.2 and 10.5.4 were excellent also.

Hi i have been lucky enough to take delivery of the Nikon D810 but am unable to upload the raw images into LR5 or Photoshop CC 2014 is this just a matter of waiting for a new version of ACR ?? Thanks

What version of Camera Raw do you have? Do Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw to see.
If it's not 8.5, which is the latest current release as of this writing, you might want to look this over: Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
Just looking over the list here - Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras - I don't see the D810 listed at all. Maybe that page isn't updated or maybe the camera is newer than even the newest Camera Raw release, in which case you'll have to wait for Camera Raw 8.6. Note that Adobe often releases beta versions early so the wait may not be that long...

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever

HT201210 iPhone gets stuck in recovery mode when I update the software (last 3 updates and with 2 different phones) and I have to take it into the store. What's the problem?

I have downloaded the most recent version of iTunes to my laptop and am smart enough to have backed up my entire phone to my laptop before updating the iOS software, but this is the third time that a software update has bricked my phone (first an iPhone 4S then a 5) and I don't have the time to go to the Apple store and wait for my everything to restore. I am running Windows updates and will restart my laptop to retry the connection between my iPhone and iTunes, but looking for suggestions.

Yeah same exact problem as me. EXACTLY. In a way I'm glad more than just me are having the problem so I know it's probably not on my end and on the apple side....I HOPE that is what it is.
MAN, a whole day and a half???? Crap I need my phone to work....
I really think it's the apple servers because it errors 3014 right when iTunes says "verifying phone....." something.... It goes away so fast I can't read the rest, but I think that is the step where it verifies phone to the apple servers, which are overloaded, I assume.
It's gotta be that. How many other people are having this same exact issue?

One of the USB ports on my Macbook Pro isn't working. Any way I can fix this or will I have to take it into the store to get repaired?

I bought a Macbook pro this July. Everything has been normal except about a week ago I started noticing I had to plug things in a few times in order for them to connect. Today I realized that one of my USB ports has been the problem, not my devices. THey connect right away when plugged into the right USB port next to the SD slot, but not at all when plugged into the left slot by the firewire hookup. Is this a problem that has a quick fix or am I going to have to go to the mac store?

Reset the SMC and PRAM
SMC Reset:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM:
Shut down the MacBook Pro.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

If i purchased a OWC SSD Drive for my mac could i take it into the apple store to install?

You can give it a try, but I doubt that the Apple Retail Store will install it.
Make sure you bought an OWC Aura Pro SSD and not a normal SSD. The first one is flash storage and the second one is flash storage but in an enclosure, and the second one does not fit inside the MacBook Air

I just wanted to ask if Firefox 4.0 Beta is stable enough for me to un install Firefox 3.6.13- thanks.

Thank you.

I find the beta version to be very stable. If you are not sure about using beta software it would be better to wait for the official release of Firefox 4. Though no date has been set it should not be too long, possibly next month.

Mac won't take power from the mains

Hi,
I just bought my MacBook two days back. I'm already finding a few things crashing, but my main headache is that its currently refusing to take power from the mains. I take out the power chord and put it back in... nothing. I've tried restarting - no go. I've changed socket, no difference (the sockets are working fine). I noticed that the MagSafe Power Adaptor was pretty hot when I first spotted this problem. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Robin

Hi robin
All I can offer is to keep doing what you're doing that's kept it going up till now - whatever that is? As soon as you've got time take it back.
I find it slightly strange that you're prepared to risk 'some urgent work' using something that's clearly having a problem? However if it's all you have then I suppose you have no choice? If there's enough 'juice' to let you complete whatever it is you need to do and if you've a memory stick or can burn a CD/DVD then I would look at those options once you've done the work.
You never know?

HT4623 I couldn't download the new software to my ipad or iphone because not enough storage so I paid the $20 for additional storage. The purchase went thru and both phone and ipad are showing 15 GB of storage but I am still getting the message

I couldn't download the new software onto my iPad or iphone because I didn't have enough storage. I paid the $20 for additional storage. Both devices are showing 15 GB of storage but both are still saying that I don't have enough storage available for the new download (3.3 GB req'd) What else can I do?

Delete some apps or stuff off your devices. The 'not enough storage' doesn't refer to iCloud space but space on your device.
If you have a bunch of downloaded music from iTunes, delete it to make room, you can always redownload it after the update. If you have movies, I'd go for them first since video takes up tons more room than audio (delete less movies is the same space as lots of music)
If you have apps you don't use, you can delete those, as long as you don't mind losing any data associated with them.

There is not enough free memory to load the entire file

I saw an older reference to this error in a previous post which apparently got resolved, but didn't explain precisely how it got resolved:
Michael Kitzmiller, "There is not enough free memory to load the entire file" #, 27 Jul 2007 5:23 am
I presume that one answer is to rebuild the document from scratch, changing imported images to referenced images. But I want to recover the file as I put hours of work into it and expected that anything I can save that I also should be able to read back in. I will certainly change to referenced images, but I have to be able to open it first.
thank you

Web...
Here is a smattering of ideas.
Do you have ample unused HDD space? If not, defrag it, although in myu experience, this hardly makes a difference. Check your TEMP/TMP folders and clean them out. Consider downloading cCleaner and running it. Do everything you can to make ample room on your HDD and in places like your TEMP folders. If your HDD is congested, temporarily remove big but relatively unimportant applications and move data elsewhere for a while.
Even with 4GB of RAM, Frame can only use somewhere between 2.7 - 3.2 GB of it under the very best of conditions, and that includes the application as well as the files. Unpacking image files can consume considerably more space than it takes to store them. For example, a 1024 x 768 color image requires more than 3.1MB to describe it as a 32-bit color image, yet when stored in JPEG format, it can be as small as 50kB, a compression of 65:1. Of course, it's not reasonable to assume that your document is comprised entirely of such highly-compressed images, but in the unachievable extreme, it would take 980MB to simultaneously open 15MB worth of those kind of files. The point here is to not fall into the trap of thinking a 15MB file comprising a lot of images needs little more than 15MB of RAM.
Make sure ALL other applications are closed when trying to open your file...Outlook, IE or FireFox, Anti-Virus and Spyware apps, Word, etc.
Consider sending a copy of the file to someone else to see if they can open it for you and delete some of the images before resaving it. If you have a backup copy, rename your current file and restore the backup. Maybe your working copy is corrupt. Who knows? Anything is probably worth trying as long as you have a save copy stored somewhere.

Can Logic 8 take advantage of the Xenon 8-core processors?

I'm considering refreshing my entire studio now that Logic 8 is out (hardware and all). Does anyone know if the program can take advatange of the new Xenon 8-core processors? I have heard that the difference between 8-core and 4-core is not noticable unless the software can take advantage of all 8 of the processors. It's a big price difference between the two and I don't want to spend the extra money unless there is clearly a performance advantage to the 8-core.

I can attest that I'm seeing excellent performance with Logic 8 on the current generation of 8 core. I'm not sure if anyone has proposed a 'standard' reverb count test ala the Pro Tools D-Verb test but just to give you an idea:
My previous computer was a G4 single 733 with an upgrade card that made it dual 1.8 GHz G4. 1.25 gig of ram. On that system I could run 1 realtime Space Designer in Logic 7 as along with quite a few other plug-ins, but definitely only 1 Space Designer.
On my current 8 core setup, at 44.1KHz, 64 samples buffer size I ran 60 stereo Space Designers (4 inserts apiece across 15 tracks) and each core was running about 66% (2/3). I got tired of inserting reverbs at that point but I think it's a good indication of the efficiency and processing headroom available with this setup. All graphics are fairly snappy as well.
I took the plunge into 8-core land early because there were a couple of projects that I just had to take and my poor G4 absolutely couldn't handle it anymore. While the next gen of processors may well give you even more punch, I feel this level of processing ability will certainly be enough to handle the current demands of my music projects for at least a couple of years:)

Microsoft should take most of the blame.

I think Microsoft should take most of the blame for what is happening to us creative labs customers. Too many drivers are in still beta, or hardware is not supported at all. This is unfortunate. How long was Vista in the works? Didn?t it give Microsoft enough time to hustle hardware manufacturers to release drivers or at least have them well on their way to do so?
Its not rocket science hardware companies like creative etc are struggling at the moment to give us fully baked solid drivers.
Microsoft sucks!!!!

I'm not sure blame is the right word; although MS have certainly changed things massi'vely in Vista, much of which quite late in it's development it is also important to recognise that progress is important and so these changes are quite reasonable. If anyone is to "blame" it's the PC Retail industry in general who sell this "magic and?pixie dust" idea that computers are these?fantastical devices which can seamlessly interface any piece of software with any piece of hardware. Masses of people have been dazzled with the new Vista Aero interface and like zombies they head to the store as they simply must have it now, and pay no heed to whether it will actually work with their systems or not. Don't misunderstand me, I love progress, I love shiny new things, I'm a geek 00%, but I've also got 30+ years dealing with these things. I would love to see how people would react to manually setting up IRQ and DMA settings back in the old days. Tsk, kids today, they just have it too easy?

WHEN I LOGIN AS DIFFERENT USER, IT TAKES ME TO THE SAME PAGE WHERE THE PREV

Hu Gurus,
I log in to portal as user1 and go to a page and then log out of the portal. Then I try to login as user2, it takes me to the same page where the previous user was. It looks like it caches the page information. How can I avoid this. Please post a reply if you have some suggestions.
Thanks
Raj
----------

Thanks for checking it, Jason. Yes, the cache settings are for 'Every visit to page'. That was the first thing I thought of. I have a feeling the problem has to do with a cache setting somewhere in our installation. For example, I'm still plagued with a few user accounts returning errors when I try to log in. The users aren't logged in, but when I click "Login" from the Portal Builder page, I see the same error...it's not even letting me get to a login screen. Thanks for all the help. It's great to get some feedback. In the meantime, we'll continue to track it down here.

You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.
