Leopard 10.5.2: Reader 8.1.2 is sized 120 MB, comes to rest upon starting....

Hello there,
after installing Leopard 10.5.2 and migrating the creative suite CS3, everything seems to work properly. But Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 has some errors.
First, rhe programm itself claimed 120 MB...in reality the programm sizes ca. 25 MB.
Deleting Acrobat and reinstall it is without improvement. Deinstalling of the whole Acrobat Package (including Distiller an Acrobat Proffessional) is with the same effect.
After reinstall the reader sizes 120 MB on my Harddisc (250 GB) an after doubleclick ist, it startes, initializing some stuff...and then you can see the clock and it does not disappear.
But: I can read PDF Documents with the application an after watchin a document, there's no clock anymore. When i doubleclick a PDF... it seems to work properly. Just when i doubleclick the programm icon itself... the clock freezes...but the programm is still working.
Does anyone know these strange things? 120 MB is a little bit much for the application..or not?
Thanks

I have exactly the same problem. After 4 hours on the phone over 2 calls to Apple Care, they finally let me know that this is an issue with 10.5.2. They said they are working on a fix that would come out with a future update, and offered the workaround of reinstalling Leopard without 10.5.2 update.
They sent me this link about reinstalling without losing files and settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8177.html
It's very frustrating, and I hope they find a fix for it soon!

Have you tried a Reset (No Data will be Lost)
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

HT1338 why wont my mac mini read snow leopard disc, it will read other dvd's and cd's

I have a mac mini since 2009 I recently got the snow leopard from apple but when I insert it it in the drive it just makes a few noises then ejects the disc. I have tried other dvd's and cd's and it reads them ok any help appreciated

It's possible the DVD is damaged, scratched and/or dirty. Check out KB Articles: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 How to Handle and Clean CD and DVD Discs and Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD
Or you can request another DVD from Apple and/or get your $$$ back.
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

Leopard does not support reading/writing to SD card via network?

I have a Pixma MX700. I can read and write to SD cards using the card reader built into this machine ... IF I use Windows XP. Leopard will mount the card and allow me to view it contents but the minute I try to import a file to my iMac, I get error code 1401.
I've been told by Canon support that the new MP Navigator EX driver for Leopard disables reading from the memory card over a network. They claim Leopard does not support this function and reading the posts from others having the same issue using different multi-function printers, this would appear to be a Leopard issue, not a Canon issue.
Can anyone confirm this and/or offer a fix?
Thanks!

I need help i have just bought snow leopard for my mac reading that it can be downloaded onto a 10.4.11 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo but it says i dont have enough ram space how can i solve this?

Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find. Patriot is another brand recommended by ASC contributors but I have no experience with them.
Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales.

I have a MacBook Air with Snow Leopard. I can read/write in both directions with 16 GB Fat32 drives but cannot with a 250GB NTFS drive.

I have a MacBook Air. I also have a 250GB NTFS external drive which the Mac sees. i can copy and paste from the external drive to the Mac but not from the Mac to the external drive. However, I can go in both directions with a Fat32 16 GB flashdrive. Can anyone explain this to me?

I've always recommented ext3 filesystem if you wanna use an external drive for both Windows and Mac OS as both can read and write to that filesystem.
But obviously you'd have to format the drive (you can use Mac disk utility)

Leopard-compatible SmartMedia card reader?

Just got a new 2G Mini and all is bliss, except that my old Zio! USB SmartMedia card is orphaned.
Up to date drivers are not available, and the company itself is defunct.
Any compatible devices out there? I know SmartMedia itself is obsolete but my camera still works fine...and I'm cheap.

Similar issues here, but with a SanDisk brand reader on an Intel mac mini running 10.5.2.
Did you have any luck with your new reader?
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Simon

Since installing Snow Leopard and Lion two weeks ago, my iTunes program opens seemingly at will. It usually starts playing music, too. What is causing this?

Since installing Snow Leopard and then Lion on my Intel-based iMac two weeks ago, my iTunes program seems to open at will whenever the computer is on. It often begins playing music, as well. What is causing this and how do I make it stop?

There are ways to minimize, mitigate, and help avoid a lot of problems.
Bootable backups.
Zeroing a drive twice before using, and format it with SL DVD Apple Disk Utility for sure.
Even a clean install should import old apps without having to reauthorize.
If you must do an upgrade, do it from the SL DVD, after repairing the drive and be sure to use the SL version of Alsoft Disk Warrior (4.2).
Wait six months before jumping on a new OS.
10% is still too many. Yes, it is more sensitive to RAM and hard drive errors, doesn't like some controllers; most ext hdd cases; and enough software to make for test-only status. And it only IDs some known incompatible applications, drivers, extensions, etc and does not remove even those always in best manner.
Plus, there are problems with the new Rosetta and the cache files it now uses. So some apps and plug-ins will cause more trouble. Not all are ready. Good reason to hold off for the months it takes.
Other devices act different as far as on/off behavior.
(Migrating from G5s to Mac Pro can cause all kinds of problems, weird behavior, sluggish system, and why anyone that went down that road was strongly recommended to NOT use Migration Assistant for any of their applications, and to ONLY do clean/fresh installs of any apps. If you skipped that day, didn't read the Guide to M.A., or didn't want to do fresh installs then, your system could have been on borrowed time. If you did do clean install of applications, great.
Installing SL can result in a corrupt directory - I think and it "seems" to be happening, but no real proof, just gut feeling and instinct (underlying file system problem? weak sectors that pre-existed waiting to happen?).
Remember all the "there just aren't a lot of 64-bit drivers" for Vista and XP? it's come home to roost.
... my guess is not enough incense and offerings. To hop into TimeMachine and SuperDuper backup images and pull the 1TB for another day (week, month, year).

Asked to change Date and Time upon starting my G5 with Leopard 10.5.5

Hello, I just installed Leopard 10.5.5 on my G5 2dual 2.7 and eveything works great. The only issue I see, which is minor, is I am always asked to change the date and time manually after starting up the computer. The date defaults to June 1st 1969 or something crazy like that. I check the set date and time automatically and if sets itself correctly- Like I said this isn't really creating any functionality problems, but I am curious to know why I am always getting that message? Thanks in advance, Brett

Sounds like a failing PRAM battery. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&q=pram%20battery&archive=y for appropriate items.
