Leopard now Unsupported by Apple now that Lion is out?

I see now on wikipedia that Leopard is now Unsupported by apple as of today but is it tru? i do not see on apple web page that they discontinued support for leopard they only used to have Security Updates Only and now that is for snow leopard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Leopard . they just put out iTunes 10.4 for leopard and safari 5.0.6 for leopard today i do not call that unsupported. What do you think??????? (This is a big thing for me because i do not have a intel mac and do not have the $ to get one right now my g5 is all i need)

Yes, that's important. G5s running Tiger or Leopard are still viable - most websites still function, and as long as you still keep things like iTunes (9 or 10) and Safari (4 or 5) up to date, things should be ok for you. The most important thing is that if your computer delivers what you need it to do, then why upgrade and incur horrendous software upgrade costs too?
I just looked on wikipedia again and now leopard is "security updates only" again the same with snow leopard. so there still is new security updates for Leopard and Snow Leopard and new apps for leopard just released today (Safari update and iTunes 10.4 for Leopard) so apple is still supporting Leopard and new apps for Leopard Just not 10.4 Tiger. only way i will believe when the time comes that Leopard is not supported is when apple says so on apple.com Like they did with OS X 10.4 Tiger. so Leopard is safe for now!!!

Just bought FCE4 and now that Lion is out, will it be compatible ?

I am in the process of getting a new computer too so should I get one that still have snow leopard or will it be ok with lion?

FCE 4 has been discontinued and was (is) the only version of FCE supported on Snow Leopard.
FCE 4 may or may not work on Lion - you will be on your own there. It may work but there is no Apple support for FCE 4 on Lion.
Again, FCE 4 has been discontinued. The forward path is now Final Cut Pro X, which is supported on Lion.

Is apple aware that Lion will not play HDV 720p25 Files in QT, poor show., Is apple aware that Lion will not play HDV 720p25 Files in QT, poor show.

I recently made the change to Lion from Snow Leopard, I use FCP and work natively with HDV 720p25 .mov files from a Focus DR-HD100 hard drive. I am getting a message saying that the files may be damaged, I want to know when this will be sorted, as I am completely unable to edit and its costing me big time.
My hands are tied, when will apple sort this, a very poor showing from Apple, not impressed. This has knocked my confidence in Apple.

i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released. I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD. All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh? I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process! They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

Help! The App Store was telling me to update my apps so I did an 'update all'. Half way through they stopped and now I have some apps that are greyed out and I cants open them or delete them. What do I do?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey Pagevc86,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you might have some apps that seem to be stuck on "Waiting." The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue and may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

How do I checkin/unlock files that I checked out under a different computer name?

My hard drive went bad. My IT department migrated me from windows 7 to windows 8 and also to a different user and computer name in a new domain. Now I cannot unlock files that were checked out on the old drive under the old domain user & computer.
I tried running Visual Studio 2013 under the old user name (using Run as other user), but appears that the files are inaccessibly locked on the old and no longer existing computer name.

Hi John,
Based on your description, your TFS and current client machine in different domains.
In this situation, you can contact your TFS administrator to make two-way trust between the two domains, then add the current user account as a team member of your team project. After that, you can ask team project collection Administrators to
unlock the file that your locked. Or ask the administrators to add your account to the group of "Project Collection Administrators". Then you can unlock the source files by yourseft after a workspace mapping on client machine. Check this
page for more information about lock and unlock files or folders.

I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Back in the days of leopard, the dashboard widgets would come to the foreground but you could still see what you were working on. Now I've updated to mountain lion and the work is no longer visible when I activate dashboard. Can I change that back?

Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space". While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

Am running FCP5, but upgraded to iMac a few months ago. Noted that some features of FCP5 like Boris text are no longer available. Was told by local Apple store that new operating system I now have (Snow Leopard) will drop some such elements. Is this true?

It is the start up disk and I can't figure out how to get it out of the computer so I can put my lion boot disk in. Thanks

turn the mac all the way off. turn the mac on by pressing the power button. as soon as the apple logo appears, pres and hold your mouse button(trackpad mouse clicker etc...) until the CD comes out.

As Austin Kinsella1 says, it's a good idea to check your program versions.
I have found this site really helpful with that:

Lion Thumb Drive is now in the Apple Store

The Lion Thumb Drive is now in the Apple Store for $69. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
The System requirements say that you need to be at 10.6.6 but that seems to be a leftover from downloading it from the App Store. When you click on "See all system requirements" it takes you to the pre thumb drive page.
There are questions in the "Questions and Answers" section but no answers yet. http://store.apple.com/us/questions/product/MD256Z/A?mco=MjQ1NDU5NTU

Here is an interesting note:
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.

TS3925 Now that mountain lion is out, how do i get lion?

I didn't feel the need to update to lion, but now that mountain lion is out, it's apparent that I CAN'T update to lion. How do I find osx 10.7?

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
You will need to have 10.6.8 already installed to use the Lion installer. I also suggest:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.
