Leopard + Snow Leopard compatibility

I am thinking of installing snow Leopard on my macbook pro.
I am successfully working (other than the few known bugs), with logic 9 songs alternating from my macbook pro and my older G5 (songs stored on an external lacie).
Seeing that I can only install snow leopard on my intel macbook, will I still be able to work on my songs on the older mac (G5 Leopard), once they've been saved in snow Leopard.
Any thoughts or experiences appreciated.

It doesn't matter under which OSX you save your Logic projects, Logic 9 projects saved under Snow Leopard will also open on a PPC machine running Tiger.

When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue??

When will we get a fix for the Snow Leopard Compatibility issue?
I am growing impatient not being able to use cross dissolve or titles.
Its going to be a pain having to back out to OS 10.5. This is beginning to be like Windows Vista.

You don't say what "..Snow Leopard Compatibility issue.." you're having.
My titles and Dissolves - and everything else - work perfectly with iMovie HD 6 and with iMovie '09 in Snow Leopard.
Perhaps you need to revert to QuickTime 7 ..just in case you over-wrote QT 7 with Snow Leopard's own QuickTime X when you upgraded to SL.
QT7 and QT X both sit happily alongside each other in Snow Leopard ..you might want to give that a try.
But I have no problem with any aspect of iMHD6 nor iM09 (..and no trouble with "stills"..) using Snow Leopard on a "late '08" MacBook Pro.
I haven't yet installed SL (Family Pack) on my Mac Mini ..I'll let SL throw away my QT7 on that, and will see if that causes any problems with iMovie. If it does, I'll then download and re-install QT7 and see if that fixes any problems. But don't hold your breath ..I may report back tomorrow, but today I'm pretty busy! I'll do my best, though..

Info regarding Diswarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility

I emailed Alsoft regarding Diskwarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility. Here is the response I got.
+DiskWarrior 4.0 will successfully rebuild a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5+
+Leopard installed or a disk that has been attached to a computer running+
Leopard.
+However, some operating system functionality has changed within Leopard+
+itself. As such, there are some compatibility issues when running an+
+installed copy of DiskWarrior 4.0 while started up from Mac OS X 10.5+
+Leopard. Alsoft currently recommends that you do not run DiskWarrior 4.0+
+while the computer is started from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.+
+Instead, to run DiskWarrior, you should start up the computer from either:+
+1) A DiskWarrior 4.0 CD.+
+2) Any disk that starts up in 10.4.x and then run DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+An updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
+compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
+owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X+
+10.4.x and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
+All features work as expected with one exception: FileVaults created+
+while started from Leopard are not visible to DiskWarrior 4.0 and cannot+
+be rebuilt (repaired).+
+-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.5+
+and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
+While not recommended (and discouraged), if you do run DiskWarrior 4.0+
+while started from Mac OS X 10.5 you might encounter some problems such as:+
+1) There is a lengthy delay whenever DiskWarrior is determining which+
+drives are currently attached. This delay is dependent upon the number+
+of attached drives and may last up to 2 or 3 minutes. You will+
+experience this delay when first starting DiskWarrior, whenever a disk+
+is attached or detached while DiskWarrior is running but idle, and+
+whenever a rebuild is completed or canceled.+
+2) You cannot rebuild FileVaults or disk images.+
+3) In step 9 (comparing directories) of a rebuild, the progress bar+
+might get to 100% even though the comparison step is not finished.+
+4) When performing Check All Files and Folders the progress bar might+
+get to 100% even though the check is not finished.+
+5) After rebuilding a disk, DiskWarrior may report that some files or+
+folders have had their permissions changed. This is inaccurate and the+
+permissions have not been changed.+
+To repeat, an updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
+compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
+owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
+-- What about DiskWarrior 3?+
+DiskWarrior 3 and earlier versions are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5+
+(Leopard). Alsoft does not recommend running DiskWarrior 3 or earlier on+
+a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed or a disk that has been+
+attached to a computer running Leopard.+

So, it seems it will work but you need to run it from the disk or if you have it installed on a external drive running Tiger, it will work.

If you open your Tiger Address Book, select all cards, drag them to the desktop, it will make one big "mega-VCF" card with a name like "Alan Adams and 543 others.vcf" Dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine. They will all import just fine into your Leopard Address Book.
Try doing something similar with your iCal data, Open the application, choose your calendars one at a time, and select File > Export. That should make a big "mega-ics" calendar card with a name like "work.ics" or "home.ics, i.e., "originalcalendarname.ics" with all the events of that calendar. Then same drill: dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine.
Both generation methods create text files, which should import just fine into the Leopard applications.

Need help with Snow Leopard compatibility issue

We have a new iMac in (with Snow Leopard) and have loaded all our programs. Due to budgets, we have not made the jump to CS4 and are still on CS3 (waiting for 5). We work in an InDesign/InCopy workflow.
In launching InDesign on the MAc with Snow Leopard, we have noticed that the assignment folders are nonexistant and within the program you can't even open an assignment window. When you reopen on a system without Snow Leopard, the individual assignments are there, but the program states it can't find the main assignment, so it's cancelling out the assignments if opened on the Snow Leopard unit.
Does anyone have any info on compatibility issues with Indesign CS3 and Snow Leopard? My tech guy found nothing on this before we ordered the new system.

First things first. CS5 was announced today and preorders are being accepted.
I believe if you upgrade to CS4 you'll get a free copy of CS5. This is important because if you're upgrading a suite, tiered pricing makes CS3 to CS4 $200 less than waiting til CS5 comes out.
That out of the way, is everyone fully patched to CS3 5.0.4? Is Snow Leopard fully updated to 10.6.3? Do you have full read/write permission on the server?

Snow Leopard compatibility ?

I have a Macbook which is about 3-4 years old which has OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) as the operating system and want to know if I can download the Snow Leopard update

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

Snow Leopard & Compatibility with ATO (Australian Tax Office) CSI applicati

Since installing Snow Leopard on my Mac PRO I have not been able to access CSI and the Business Portal. Have updated to latest version from ATO website but the Business Portal does not recognise the CSI program as present on the computer. Any experience?

Snow Leopard 10.6 & Compatibility with ATO (Australian Tax Office)
ECI V 5.2.0 and CSI V 3.1.19 Using Java 1.6.0_17 required for ATO dealing have 3 issues, the summary below supply the solutions working as at 14 jan 2010.
Newer release version will fix the issues but in the meantime if you need to set up a new computer with OS 10.6.2 . I have summarised the issues and the solutions which I have sourced from online apple discussion and directly from many phone call to ATO support.
Please note: You will need either a new Digital certificate from the ATO with a new password unless or you can export your current Digital certificate from your old computer and you know your current ATO password.
To export existing valid Digital Certificate, Launch CSI certificate manager from within ECI on your old computer select the certificate in the list click the Export button and save it to our desktop, use the default format CSI Store Files (.csistore)
Then copy the file to the Desktop of the new computer running 10.6.x
Next you need to Download ECI and CSI from ATO
http://eci.ato.gov.au/release/eciclient.dmg
http://csi.business.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx
Install first ECI, then CSI
- Using 10.6.2 on a new computer with a Fresh Install (all new) but importing current sDig Certificate. I have encountered 3 issues as 14 Jan 2010 which are:
1) ECI and CSI cannot launch see Solution (A) posted posted by Bruce Linn on Apple discussion, many thanks to him.
2) After resolving issue 1, CSI open and import the Digital certificate but it is not visible, therefore it is not imported, because in fact the csi folder is Write Protected and need to be trashed. See Solution (B) supplied over the phone by ATO support level 2
3 After fixing 1 and 2 , when I import a BAS document from the ATO, when I go to the in Tray and sect the document and click open I get an error message :
Error - BT E103 The XML for the form being opened is invalid. Further details: Content is not allowed in prolog...
See Solution (C) emailed by ATO support level 1
Why the ATO is not posting the solution online saving us to pain of the manyy calls and wait for known issue, this is poor communication and a waste of productivity for all tax payers .
+ A) Solution
1. Uninstall your current CSI installation by going to MacHD > Applications > CSI and choosing Uninstall CSI.

Snow Leopard Compatability of Third Party SW Question

CS2 Snow Leopard compatibility?

I've searched without success whether Photoshop CS2 will run with Snow Leopard.
I'm on an iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3 GB installed memory.
Thanks for your input.

Duane, nice to hear that your CS2 is working.
Your info is coming out a little at a time.
Did your computer come with Snow Leopard, if yes, you will not be
able to load Leopard unless you buy a retail copy.
However, if you don''t use the fonts that are affected then you can
stay the way you are.
I also use Quark.
I went back to Leopard because SL created conflicts with Helvetica,
Helvetica Neue, Futura and other fonts.
Out of 32 weights of Helvetica Neue, I could only use 10 weights.
I lost the use of all my condensed faces.
Snow Leopard creates conflicts with a number of fonts.
Check these links.

Image Capture, twain sane interface, and Snow Leopard compatibility?

I have downloaded and installed Mattius Ellert's twain sane interface in order to be able to use an old scanner. In order to use it with Image Capture, Ellert's FAQ page describes a procedure for selecting the twain sane interface GUI over the native GUI. However this procedure fails in Snow Leopard; I seem to have no choice but to run the native GUI, with extremely limited functionality. The twain sane interface GUI is still there and still works; it is what comes up if I scan from Microsoft Word or Graphic Convertor. But I would like it to work with Image Capture and related Apple software (preview and the print/fax control panel). Does anyone know of a procedure to do so?
Also does anyone know where this GUI actually lives on the computer? I examined the installed file locations specified in twain-sane interface's bom file, and just found a bunch of .strings and plist files in Image Capture/TWAIN Data Source/Sane.ds/Contents/Resources, plus one file under ....Sne.ds/Contents/MacOS called SANE.

Ronald,
The reason you are not seeing this device in Image Capture after installing the TWAIN/SANE stuff is because Apple removed the TWAIN interfaces from Image Capture in Snow Leopard. TWAIN is being deprecated on the Mac. What someone needs to do is develop an ICA/SANE bridge and then Image Capture would work again.
Just trying to help.

CS4 to Mountain leopard compatability

Help...I'm running CS4 on mac osx 10.5.8 and would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion after Snow Leopard. Will I be able to run my old CS4 on the Mountain Lion system? Please Help.

Yes/No/Maybe/Perhaps. Nobody can tell you. There are compatibility issues, yes, but which ones you will be facing specifically will depend on too many factors thast can't be predicted.

LE 7.0.1/Leopard compatibility...?

I'm still using Logic Express 7.0.1. I want to upgrade my operating system to Leopard from Tiger (10.4.11). Am I going to have any compatibility issues? I know the point will come soon when I have to upgrade Logic but, given I have a couple of composing jobs coming up, I don't want to be doing them on an unfamiliar programme.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Stephen.

Hi Stephen,
If 7.01 will install nicely remains to be seen, as I don't know if that version will run on Intel processors.
But I have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and have installed Logic Express 7.2.3 without too much trouble.
Because I wasn't sure if it would work, Logic was the first application I installed right after installing Snow Leopard and installing all available system updates.
The only problem I have run into has to do with the Apple Loops that come with Logic.
Adding a loop to a track gave error messages but this was easily fixed by dragging the folder containing the loops into the loop browser.
Good luck with your projects!
Best,
Bastiaan

OS X 10.5 Leopard compatability?

It would be nice with an official statement regarding compatability of both the iSync plugins and NOKIA Media Transfer with the newly released OSX 10.5 operating system.

Please help. I too rely heavily on iSync and my N95. The synchronisation has failed after installing Leopard. It failed totally. I removed the device from iSync and added it back stating 'over-right N95' which means I now have syncing one way, from Mac to N95, but it does not seem to work the other way.
I would really appreciate help here! Thanks. John
one way sync works, eh?
is there any way you can try to recover an old copy of isync?
i have to assume that if one way syncing works, then the n95 exists properly in the device database; that the bluetooth connection is functioning properly; etc.
i would have to say the problem must exist between the iSync app and the plugin for the n95. there are a few plugins for iSync that you might try (some people never noticed that nokia provides these plugins on their website so took the time to develop them). i suggest trying to use other 3rd party plugins and if all else fails try running the 10.4 version of iSync (with which ever plugin worked for you before your upgrade)
look for more plugins here:
official:
http://europe.nokia.com/A4299040
3rd party #1:

3rd party #2:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070326141053127&mode=print
i'm sure there are more - just do a quick google search. i recall many plugins were on the same sites as dial-up-networking plugins (just like isync, lots of people failed to notice that you can do dial-up-networking from a mac through an n95 out of the box using the "packet-data" settings)
i'm sure MANY people would like to hear if any of this works - if you get up and running please come back and share the procedure. (i dont have 10.5 yet myself).
what version of iSync does osx10.5 come with?
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

Leopard compatability with Panther?

We, as a Design studio, are looking to purchase Leopard and upgrade, but our Data server is not up to the system requirements and is running on Panther quite happily, we dont really want to upgrade our server at the moment, it works fine, but if we were to upgrade to Leopard on all our other Macs will there be a compatability problem with Panther?

Oops, I told a fib. The Microsoft version I'm running is 2004, good news on Photoshop, and I'll double check on compatibility on Sibelius with their website. I think my friend runs this version of Sibelius on his new (within the past 6-8 months) MacBook Pro. I have everything registered so I might be able to get replacements if need be. Thanks to all of the reply's and if you have anything to add, keep 'em coming! And if all else fails, I'll talk to someone with at the Genius Bar and get an answer. Again, Thanks a bunch!

Leopard compatibility on older G4 macs

I have 5 macs of various vintages. 2 G4 cubes, 1 G4 Titanium notebook, 1 G4 tower that all came with OS X 10.1 and one 17" iMac that came with OS X 10.2 Jaguar. It would seem that according to the specs on Leopard, my Macs will not run 10.5. So what is the version that is the most modern that will run on all of my Macs and where do I buy it? I have searched this site and Apple docs but did not come up with a clear answer. If say only Tiger will run and not Leopard, why can I not find it for sale in the store? Any help or inks would be appreciated.
long time Mac user (since Lisa)

If your systems do not meet the specs for 10.5 Leopard, then Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger will be the latest version you can run. Apple discontinued open sale of Tiger when Leopard was released (as has been the case with every major release of Mac OS X), but you may still be able to find a copy if you call the Apple Store (before Christmas they still had copies available though they weren't shown for sale on the web site), or you can check with one of the many on-line retailers, a local Apple reseller, or Craigslist or eBay.

NX Client and Leopard compatibility

Anybody else use NX ("No Machine") client? It's much like VNC, a desktop sharing program (but it is much faster) that uses X11.
Well, after upgrade to Leopard, it doesn't work very well. Lots of redraw problems for me (on an iMac G5), one Intel MacBook user reports jumbled characters.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Bark!

An update: macoshints.com has a thread on this:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=80129
One user said:
Yes, Apple knows about all these problems with Leopard X11 (please read the FAQs at the top of the page), and they are working hard to fix the bugs.
In separate news, someone reported that reverting to the 10.4 version of X11 solved the problem.
So....I guess I wait.
