Is there anyone running Leopard and NOT experiencing the keyboard bug?

The reason I ask is because I'm considering upgrading to Leopard, yet as a MacBook Pro owner, reading comment after comment about sleep issues and keyboards failing makes me leery about doing so. However, I do know that a majority of people flock to these forums for help, so most posts bemoan software/hardware problems as opposed to extolling the virtues of owning a Mac.
I'll be honest - I like running the most up-to-date software, and that's my primary reason for wanting to upgrade. Time Machine looks like it would be an excellent replacement for my current (crappy) back-up software, Quick Look seems to be a handy new feature, and I'd like the update for Boot Camp as I occasionally run Windows. I have the extra money for Leopard at the moment, but after what I've read, I may just buy Leopard and let it collect dust on my desk until Apple releases an update that addresses these bugs...

I have a refurb 17"MBP 2.16 Core Duo which I have had for about 5 months. I have added very little additional software so far (iWork, Clamxav) and only a minimum of files from my Windows PC. I upgraded to Leopard last weekend. So far the only problem encountered is that Airport needs to be physically restarted after sleep mode, it's a pain but if that is the only problem I get I can live with two clicks. Have just set up Time Machine (the simplest back up I have ever carried out) and will let that run for a week or two before trying anything else.
This is my first Mac and at this moment in time I have no intention of installing Windows as the reason for switching was not to have the Windows hassle.
From perusing this and other Mac forums I get the impression that most problems have been caused by the fact that people have lots of third party software installed when they try to upgrade. Certainly as a along time Windows user common sense tells me that such a situation is likely to cause problems. I wonder if people had such problems upgrading through older Mac OS.

Running Leopard and Tiger at the same time VMWare fusion/Parallels?

Hello,
I was wondering, is it possible to run Tiger and Leopard at the same time? Some older applications won't run properly in Leopard. The iMac came both with Tiger and Leopard (last November). It has been described elsewhere that one can install Tiger and Leopard on separate partitions and switch by rebooting. But it would be nice if one could run Tiger in Leopard like one can run Windows/Unix using VMWare Fusion or Parallels. Is that feasible?
best wishes

I agree with you that virtualizing Mac OS X would be great. I'm an Apple technician and it would really help with my work. But Apple's EULA does not permit the use of OS X in a VM. They changed OS X Server's EULA recently to permit it, but not the "client version".
So your Mac can virtualize nearly any OS out there, but not OS X. And I believe (not sure) that a VM of OS X Server will only run on OS X Server.

Running Leopard and Snow Leopard

Hey guys and gals... I recently bought a new macbook pro with snow leopard installed. This is all great, but the program that I use the most (pro tools) only works on leopard (unless of course I want to pay 150 dollars to upgrade my pro tools, which I do not). Is there any way to run leopard and snow leopard just as some people run windows and osx? I would also like to not have to restart my computer every single time I wanted to switch back and forth. ANY help is greatly appreciated!

Basically, not if the computer was released after Mac OS X 10.6.
I would also like to not have to restart my computer every single time I wanted to switch back and forth.
This function requires Mac OS X Server.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

On which device do you normally check mail?
I assume you must normally check on the phone and that is why you don't see it often. If you checked a POP account on your phone and hten tried to check the POP email account on your computer you would find that amy POP emails you accessed on your phone would not appear on the computer and that is because you have already downloaded them on the phone and they are no longer on the server so when your computer checks for mail the server responds to the computer and says there are no recent messages. The reverse of this would occur ifyou found new mail on your computer from the POP account. That new mail would not be found on the phone mail app

I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

Hi Delecee,
You can easily do that by downloading the music before you get to that area of weak Wi-Fi and cellular signal by downloading the music directly from the Music app by tapping the cloud button next to songs. The other option is to sync the music with iTunes over USB to have the songs downloaded to your phone. Take a look at the links below to get your music downloaded to your iPhone.

I've downloaded the 5.0 update and not all the new features are there. Just the news stand, reminders and videos. I double checked on the update and it says it's up to date. What should I do now?

I've downloaded the new 5.0 update and not all the new features are there. Just the newsstand, reminders and videos icons plus icloud. Everything else is the same as before. What should I do now? It says I have the latest update. ???

Hummmm, you might not be missing anything... From what I understand, really the only new visible add-on apps type programs are Newstand and Reminders. The Notification Center seems to be about how your info and alerts are pushed to your screen and you control that thru the phone settings>General>Notifications, the panel is accessed by swiping downward from the top of your screen. Weird I know, should be more obvious. Enjoy!
Don't forget, you can now use the volume button on the side of your phone to take photos. I really like this!
