Leopard Available After Snow Leopard is Released?

I have a G4 iBook that still has Tiger. Will Leopard still be available to upgrade that machine after Snow Leopard is released? Since my iBook can never be upgraded to Snow Leopard, what will my options be? Will I be stuck with Tiger on that machine forever if I don't act right away?

Will Leopard still be available to upgrade that machine after Snow Leopard is released?
Apple has not made any announcement regarding the last day it will be available at their stores. None of us has a crystal ball. However, the used and refurbished Mac stores*:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
Often have older operating systems available even after Apple has discontinued selling it directly.
See my upgrade FAQ* to learn if you are prepared for upgrading to Leopard:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
A few known limitations for your configuration:
Note the Classic environment is not supported under Leopard. You'll want to either backup and partition your hard drive, to have Tiger and Leopard on your Mac, or add a Firewire external hard drive to install Tiger onto to keep Classic going.
Leopard's Boot Camp does not support PowerPC Macs.
Leopard's software does not support iPhoto version 2.
If you are going to add more Dashboard widgets, Leopard takes up as much as twice the RAM as Tiger.

Will the SCJP 6 exam be available after JDK 7 is released

Hello,
I would say that I am on a good track for taking the SCJP 6 exam (studying, code examples, etc). The thing is that i don't find a lot of time to study lately and with JDK 7 coming I don't know if the SCJP 6 exam will be available after the new JDK is released.
Any information you might provide will be appreciated cause i would not want to prepare for an exam that will not be available in 2010.
and....a happy new year
Regards,
Edited by: Andreaspag on Jan 6, 2010 10:17 AM

you can never be certain, but historically Sun always has had 2 versions of the exam available, sometimes 3 for a short period.
So when the 1.7 exam appears, the 1.5 will likely be dropped and the 1.6 remain.

Isight no longer works after snow leopard upgrade

my isight no longer is available directly after snow leopard upgrade on my macbook black. Anyone else with the same problem? The isight does not show up in 'about this mac' under USB and I tried resetting SMC and PRAM.

Hi,
In Leopard there was an App called iSight Update app that was in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services
This does not seem to be there in Snow Leopard.
An issue with some computers with the camera was that in System Preferences > Displays the Colours needed to be set to Millions.
Also check the Hard Drive/System/Library/Extensions folder and see that you have the Apple_iSight.kext (this is likely to handle the Internal iSights as well).
One last thing.
Some Web sites can make use of the camera using Flash.
If that tab is still open the Browser may have use of the camera.
It sounds like you have done computer restarts and this will not be the case unless the browser is set to go back to that page.

Multilngual Braille Output available for Snow Leopard

Hello all,
My package for Braille output in languages other than U.S. English is now available for Snow Leopard. It's very easy to install, and allows uncontracted Braille to be shown on your refreshable Braille display using your own language's dotcodes.
The languages are Danish, French, German, Greek/Coptic, Hebrew, Norwegian, Russian and US Unicode (which gives the non-Latin languages). They are available as a free .dmg download from CeciMac. The site is in French, but don't worry, the Multilingual Braille package is the only .dmg download link on the home page. The installer is localised in French and English, and once it has run and you've restarted your Mac, the whole list of output languages is available via the popup menu in the Braille tab of VoiceOver Utility.
I'm currently working on a number of other languages, which will be released as soon as possible. They include Arabic, British English, Croat, Czech, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. If you want any other languages, please let me know by e-mail to conseil at anarchie dot org dot uk.
Enjoy Snow Leopard!
Archie

Hello again, all!
I have now added new languages to the CeciMac Multilingual Braille package.
The full list is Arabic, Danish, French, German, Greek/Coptic, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and US Unicode. The pop-up menu now includes specific items for all of these, as well as the original Apple US English.
The installation instructions are only provided in English and French, but they are very simple.
To download the package, please click on the following link:
Download CeciMac Multingual Braille.
Feedback is welcome to conseil at anarchie dot org dot uk.
All the best!
Archie

All Podcast Producer Jobs Failing After Snow Leopard Upgrade

First, and most importantly, all Podcast Producer submissions are failing after upgrading to Snow Leopard. These seem to fail in the mail stage.
I have a second problem that makes this worse: When I enter Server Admin -> Podcast Producer -> Settings -> Properties, I can not see any properties. I know that these settings are somewhere, since when I open the XML file in <Shared File System>/Server/Jobs, the resulting file has information that should be here, however some of it is incorrect. I'm not sure what got changed, since I can't see all of the properties in the PP panel in Server Admin.
Thirdly, I can see no Workflows available in Podcast Producer, even the new ones that are supposed to be available in Snow Leopard.
So, I would at least like submissions to actually not fail, which was not the case before the upgrade. I would also like access to all of the properties and workflows available in the Podcast Producer administration part of Server Admin.
Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a way to fix this?

After installing SL, i cannot get wellsfargo "account login" to work for any account of mine, other financial secure sites work fine, i.e. fidelity or vanguard, I can access the main screen of wellsfargo but login fails ... screen i get says Safari can't connect to the server and as follows: "Safari can’t open the page “https://online.wellsfargo.com/das/cgi-bin/session.cgi?" plus some more gibberish stuff.... i tried switching to firefox and it works fine .... never had any trouble before ..... tried safari reset, safari empty cache, and maintenace that applied ...... still no luck!! hope they get this bug fixed , my other computer an older mac mini works fine. any help????? never had any problem before SL

Text messages in Safari are garbled on Mac Pro after Snow Leopard install

When reading or composing my Yahoo mail text messages in Safari on my Mac Pro after Snow Leopard, the wording is very garbled. Looks like o's, s's, c's, some caps, with lots of spaces intermixed. Messages look ok on Firefox, on same machine. New messages and reading sent messages look ok on my MacBook and MB Air. When cutting and pasting into something else (like this window), the text looks fine. I can compose and send messages that look garbled, but the right words and letters go out. HTML messages look ok. Any clues for solution?

I have this happening in bunch of different HTML pages. Here's a screenshot of the same page in Safari (Version 4.0.3 (6531.9)) and Mac OS X 1.6.1 side by side with Camino:
https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/362958/miscwebimages/Screen%20shot%202009-09-22%20at%2018.35.47.png
Camino renders the page correctly. Safari is really unusable with this problem. Tried switching to and from 64-bit mode in Safari, didn't help either.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
The process:
Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
-- On your Macs
Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
Click Apply
Turn off Airport
Turn Airport on
IT WORKS!!!
One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
Hope this helps-
Joshua

The Firewire Disk don't work After Snow Leopard 10.6.1

Dear Apple friend
I've a big problem... I've 6 firewire external hard disk (400 and 800) with my work.
And now I can use it after Snow Leopard update to 10.6.1.
How I can resolve it???
I need to work!!!!
thanks
Walter from Italy

Have you reset the FireWire bus? Did you try a different cable?
If so and things still don't function properly your only choice may be rolling back the system.
If you search these forums and with Google you will find lots of issues like these. If you need these disks to work your only choice is to roll back your system software.

Receiving email after Snow Leopard upgrade

Everything works fine after Snow Leopard upgrade 10.6.2 except I cannot RECEIVE email. I have checked with Comcast and verified my settings for both incoming and outgoing POP mail.

Hello and welcome to the Discussions.
I had no problems of this sort when upgrading to Snow Leopard or 10.6.2. Were you already running Snow Leopard in an earlier version, or did you upgrade from Tiger (10.4.11) directly to SL 10.6.2?
Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library/Mail. Locate any files named to include MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded. At the root level of the Mail folder you should find one named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3, but look in each POP account folder also. There if you find any other, including MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 delete them from each POP account folder -- they are not used in versions of Mail later than 2.1.3.
Relaunch Mail and test.

I was just wondering what is going to be after Snow Leopard. I'm not saying Snow Leopard is not good, but I can't wait to see new cool stuff.

When is the os x leopard being released ?

when is the os x leopard being released ?

Backup first
It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
Erase before the install
Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
During the install
Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
More about Macs
The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
Important
Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

I purchased my MacBook Pro in late 2007, just before Leopard was released. I want to upgrade my memory and need to know if DDR2-667 SoDimm PC2-5300 is the correct type.

If you have to wonder which RAM is the correct type, you probably aren't buying from a store that will give you the right RAM. Many stores specify model and vintage of Mac on their website to ensure you get the right RAM. Check my FAQ*:

IPhoto Not Installed After Snow Update

Ok let me get all the questions out of the way.
- I installed family pack Snow on both my MBP & wifes MBP
- My MBP works great, all that is advertised
- The other MBP is running just the same, except it’s missing iPhoto
Yes that’s right iPhoto is not installed on this Mac. I’ve checked everywhere, I’ve even done a check disk, searched the web far and wide without anything coming back explaining why it’s not on there.
If anyone has an idea as to why iPhoto 09 is not installed please let me know.
Thanks ahead of time.

Thanks Larry, to answer your question no I did not delete it.
Quick history….. I bought this specific MBP with Tiger on it two days after Leopard was released. Called Apple they sent me a Leopard upgrade disc for free to install. Just recently I found out that the Hardrive in the MBP was failing causing issues (1yr of use), so I bought a new one replaced that. Instead of installing Tiger, then Leopard, then Snow, I worked around that by installing Leopard then Snow.
Is iLife (the full install) on the original Tiger disc that came with the MBP? How the poo do I install it now with Snow installed? Can I call Apple and see if they could send me an iLife 09 disc? Could this be why iPhoto is not appearing on my MBP?
