Leopard vs Snow Leopard, wich is better?

Hi,
I have been operating Mac computers since 2006, iMacs and MacBooks, etc. In 2009 I got my first MacBook Black (CoreDuo, 2GB RAM, and 160 GB HD) with Leopard; an excellent purchase! I never had a problem, and on septembre 2011 I replaced this MacBook by a MacBook Pro (Core i5, 4GB RAM, 320 HD) and the troubles began to appear, in many occasions it got freeze, wehan you close the lid for using an external monitor when the dislpay sleeps the external monitor gets black and I have to open the lid and umplugge the VGA adapter, so I tired with this situations and I don't know what to do. I have thought for downgrading to Leopard or upgrading to Lion.
Anyone could suggest me what to do?
Thanks!

Snow Leopard (10.6.8) is fast and stable. If your new MBP is running Lion, you're in the wrong forums. If it's running 10.6.1, you need to update. FWIW, these might help:

Wich is better the ACS Server with VMware ESX or the Appliance for a multitenant environmet with ip overlaping

Excuse me, does any body can help me?
Wich is better the ACS Server with VMware ESX or the Appliance for a multitenant environmet with ip overlaping
I need to know if the ACS support the AAA functions but from equal ip segments (ip overlaping) on diferent places.... with diferent client networks.
We are implementing the ACS on a central site (our NOC), so each field engineer will be AAA from diferent sites, same ip networks and diferent places....
We need to implement support activities where our field engineer get access on a cisco device on the client premises, but the point is that we have a field engineer force wich get access on each device on diferent places.
With this scenary we need to decide wich is better: The appliance or the ACS Server with VMware ESX

Just a quick question - have you looked at superwaba
and wabajump? Superwaba is basically Java for pocket
pc and palm, but wabajump allows you to compile to
palm (not pocket pc). You can also use Eclipse for
development in an applet - much quicker than deploying
to device/virtual device. Small memory footprint as
well.
Cheers
Andy StrattonThank you Andy. I'll try it. Have you tried to use Websphere Studio Device Developer ?
I've tried version 5.5 but i found it not too comfortable.
I'd like to know personal experiences of the whole stack of components and tools involved
in the development process. We're trying to design the best environment for it.
Kind Regards

Mavericks or Snow Leopard: Which is better?

Is Mavericks actually better than both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion?

I was a big fan of Snow Leopard. I watched a few things get botched up in Lion, some of those things get fixed in Mountain Lion which I liked, but I think Mavericks is the most refined version since Snow Leopard.
Couple of examples, Time Machine is much slower in Snow Leopard than in the later versions. On portables, Mavericks definitely extended the battery life on my 2011 MacBook Pro. Also, Mavericks fixes some multiple monitor issues that had existed for years. I can't name too many whiz-bang Mavericks features that wow you in a demo, but what Mavericks has is the quiet under-the-hood improvements that are genuinely productivity-enhancing and that is why I like it so much.

Leopard still in "beta"?

Obviously it's retail, but new OS's are usually "beta software" for several months (or, in Microsoft's case, over a year). I know there were some grumbles about Leopard when it first rolled out. How are things now? I don't need it, so I can just keep on plugging with Tiger, but there are some enhancements I'd like. Still, it's not worth having it if I'm going to have to suddenly put up with crashes, incompatibilities, etc.
Thanks in advance

I agree with all the postings above, except I think upgrading should be more strongly considered. I especially agree with the idea that many others have already house-broken Leopard for you.
To the right of this screen is a list of “Top Users.” Browse through their replies to questions about Leopard installations to see what they recommend for preparing to upgrade. Follow their excellent advice and you are almost assured of having a flawless upgrade. You stated your understanding of complaining posts outnumbering successes. I think most of the complaints were from those who did not have any plan for upgrading, and as one poster above stated, went into it blindly.
I had as many, or more problems with Tiger than I’ve had with Leopard. The only problem I had that was mentioned in the list you referred to, was the disappearing windows in Spaces. That bug was fixed in 10.5.2.
I think staying with the same old system is like continuing to ride a horse when you could drive a car. Sure it still gets the job done of getting you from one place to another, but there are more convenient and comfortable ways of doing it.
Off the top of my head, these are a few things I think are worth the potential hassles of installing Leopard:
Time Machine
Spaces
Screen Sharing
iChat
Quick Look
Safari Find and resizable text fields
multiple Screen Savers (especially Mosaic)
I would wish you luck, but luck has nothing to do with it. Do the homework of learning how to do a successful installation. I don’t remember who first said it, but I agree with the statement: The harder I work, the luckier I get.

Wich is better in SOUND solutions??

hello there, I just want to know wich of this options could be better to create a home theatre system for movies and games. (for playing movies on my DVD and play games in my PC or play station)

PANDORA or SLACKER on THE X: Wich is Better!

At one time i use to listen to both of theses Music apps first on my BB Curve an then on my Android Phones.But as time went on
other good music apps came about. So i did'nt listen to them as much. An my favorate two apps are now Tune in Radio an
Winamp. But i thougt i might give em a try again so i looked on the review boards on each of them an things diddn't look to good
as many users or Paying subscribers area sayin there having many issues songs skipping badly an some of them not playing at
all an as i said there are subcribers that are Paying for a year subscription for the higher Qaulity Music sound an No adds but it
is'nt any better than the free Version. So i thougt i'd ask on Here what our Contribitors think about the Two Apps. Good , Bad , Or
Give me Something Else.

To the contributors that wrote there post thanks : an i have used pandora my self an pute it thru a 8 hour run thru on my X an no song skipping or breaking up an it only stopped once. i did have to recharge the ol battries in Birtha but that was it.
If any other contributors would like to pute a post on your thoughts of these two or other music Players give a post an we thank ya For your Support.

TLS and Snow Leopard server issues

I have a customer with Snow Leopard server running mail services. A few clients cannot email them due to what we think is a TLS related issue. Their host has TLS enabled for the mail server and they receive the below error message when sending to my customer:
15:27:41.044 3 SMTP-406902(domain.com) failed to establish a secure connection with [xx.xx.xx.xx]:25. Error Code=X509: signature algorithms do not match.
The host that cannot send seems to think it's a Postfix configuration issue but I don't know where to begin. It's not a firewall issue as we've tried that with no success.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

You are in the Leopard Server section, better to direct your question to the +Snow Leopard+ Section.

Is Snow Leopard worth a $129 upgrade?

I am looking to buy a MacBook Pro of some kind, probably with a Core2Duo Intel Proc. Some of them if they are used have Leopard, and some Snow Leopard. Only thing I know (and it's precious little) is that with Snow Leopard you can add the Mac App Store which I think would have some benefit. Are there many other benefits? Would Snow Leopard run any better/faster on say a 2.xGz Intel Core2Duo system? Would 4gb ram be enough or would 8gb really be needed?

More to the point; you don't need to spend $129 unless you want iLife '11 and iWork. The $29 10.6.x install disc will do the job perfectly well.
Having said that, I do find iWork very usefull and pretty **** good in spite of a few glaring ommissions still to be addressed.
4GB RAM should be perfectly adequate for most people; go for more if you do a lot of movie making and processing, or are heavily into audio production.
The App store requires 10.6.6, which you can update to from the basic installation with the combo update from the support page; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
Opinion on the app store is somewhat divided, but no harm in trying it for yourself.
Whatever you get, if you're buying used, ensure that you get the original installation DVDs for the Mac in question. These contain all the original bundled software (iLife etc), Apple Hardware Test and optional installations such as Rosetta (for running legacy PPC apps like Appleworks). These DVDs are specific to the particular model they ship with, and the retail upgrade does not have the bundled software or hardware test.

Is it true that Mac OS X Leopard is slow on Apple's PowerPC's (800 Mhz)?

Is this only during installation or this at all times?
With 1 gigabyte of ram or with less? (I plan to have 1 GB)
Does this happen even if you erase the hard drive and start from scratch?
Interested in buying it or perhaps waiting to see if "Snow Leopard" will work better if indeed they do release a version for PowerPC's (non-Intel macs).

Hi
I also have a PB G4 1.67Mhz with 2GB RAM and 80GB HD. When Tiger (approx 5GB install size) was king of the jungle I noticed a definite speed bump over 10.3. I can't remember fully the complete specifics but a lot more efficent source code was one reason even though Tiger's hardware requirements were greater. From power on to desktop and first application launch took about 30-40 seconds.
I now have Leopard installed on the same PowerBook. It takes a bit longer even though a lot of Leopard is 'designed' for the Intel processor as well as it being approx 15GB in size. In that sense comparing it to Tiger its actually as quick if not quicker all things considered. Of course if I had a MacBook Pro 2.whatever C2D there's no contest. There is no NetInfo in Leopard and launchd (which replaced it) is supposed to be a lot quicker in handling boot services. Neither is there any support for Classic. Ultimately how the OS is constructed plays a big part in the overall performance of a computer. However it still boils down to processor and bus speeds, VRAM and RAM, size/speed of hard drive. Clearly Leopard on a lower rated processor is going to be slower when compared to something much faster.

Leopard or Tiger

based on the specs below, which would run faster on the machine? I know the min processor for Leopard is 867Mhz, but It runs fine on my G4...
G4 Digital Audio
733Mhz
768MB RAM (soon to be 1.5GB)
40GB IDE HD 7200 RPM
32MB NVIDIA GeForce2 MX (AGP slot)
No airport, no bluetooth
My initial though is that Leopard seems nappier.
Any ideas?
Regards

Hi-
Tiger, with the exception of Safari, will run faster than Leopard.
Gaming in Tiger is also faster than Leopard.
Typically, a CPU takes more of a hit in overhead on Leopard.
I've seen up to 20% degradation in CPU scores (using Geekbench) comparing Tiger and Leopard.
I use both OS versions on my 2GHz machine, and although Leopard runs really sweet, games (Doom 3, UT2k4, COD2, etc) all run faster in Tiger.
I also like Prey, which will not run in Leopard.
I use Leopard for all general stuff, and I like Safari in Leopard much, much better than Safari 2 in Tiger.
But when it comes time to game, booting back to Tiger is worth the restart time.
The same can be said when comparing the two OS versions in 933MHz QS machines.
Leopard is nice, but Tiger is more responsive.
In addition to the memory, you would benefit from a new hard drive, and later, a graphics card that supports Core Image.
Both Tiger and Leopard benefit from Core image, and Leopard runs smoother in a machine that has a graphics card that supports CI.
I wrote a bit on the subject in Japamacs Page.
As for a hard drive, a 160GB Western Digital WD1600AAJB (about US$44) would give you 137GB of usable drive space after format.
It is a really quiet and fast drive, especially as compared to the older OEM, Hitachi, IBM and Seagate drives.
I use a 160GB and a 320GB in one of my machines, and really appreciate how snappy they are.
Also, f you get a bigger, faster drive, then you can partition it in two, and use both OS versions as you see fit.

New Mac w/Leopard can I erase 10.5 and replace w/10.4?

Just bought a new MacPro 2.66 etc. I have a powerBk G4 w/10.4 The new mac has 10.5 installed from Fac. Can I erase this and reinstall w/10.4? Is this ok to do?
The truth is, I have a lot of software running 10.4 and IT IS STABLE. I am not sure I want the hassel of upgradeing, spending more $ and time to deal w/problems right now. Busy, busy busy.

I wish I could help you, but I ran into problems when I tried to re-install 10.4 on my iMac G5 2.1 ghz. Like quite a few Mac users, I have run into various problems/issues. When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase & Install", but still experienced several of the issues others on this board has mentioned.
So, to get back that happy and content feeling I have had since I switched to Mac a few years ago, I decided to re-install Tiger. But - no way.
When rebooting my iMac with the Tiger installation DVD, it after a while replaced the grey apple in the boot-up window with an icon showing a forbidden sign (you know, the "O" with a slash through it).
A little frustrated, I ejected the DVD, continued the boot and then tried again. Same thing - full stop and I was not allowed to continue. I may mention that I am not talking about an upgrade/downgrade install - I didn´t even get to the point where you can begin the installation and make a choice.
I then restarted with the Leopard DVD and from the menu found the disk utilities and erased the disk (no turning back now - lol), hoping it would wipe Leopard and leave the disk clean enough for Tiger to be installed.
With the Tiger DVD in the computer, I restarted again. With a sinking feeling I got the same "forbidden" sign in the boot-up window. That is when I was becoming a little sad, since I had run of options (at least the options I knew about).
I managed to eject the Tiger DVD and had no choice but to reinstall Leopard. However, now I suddenly got the choice to "Install OS X for the first time" during the setup process. Since all my stuff was erased anyway (yes, of course it was backed up when I started ), I chose this option.
And the funny thing is that I have a feeling that Leopard works slightly better now. If it is due to the erasing of the disk or the fact that I installed the 10.5.1 directly after installing 10.5, I cannot tell. But it feels a bit better than it did the first time.
Why I was not allowed to reinstall Tiger, even after erasing Leopard first and on a computer that originally came with Tiger, I cannot tell. I may mention that I also did reset the pram, but it made no difference.
Again - maybe not helpful, but wanted to share my experience since I know your feeling
All the best,

Tiger or Leopard

Right now I have not upgraded to Leopard, still running Tiger. Should I upgrade, will Logic 8 run better or worse?
Thanks.

One differnnce between Tiger and Leopard for audio work is shown in these images
from http://src.infinitewave.ca.
It would seem that Leopard (core audio in leopard) can do better Sample Rate
Conversions from 96kHz to 44.1kHz.
Logic itself doesn't do the conversion, it calls on CoreAudio to do the conversion.
Of course you could use some other software that doesn't rely on the OS to do the conversion.
Anyway, just this is a good point to upgrade to Leopard if you do ANY sample rate
converting on the Mac OS outside of a dedicated program for it.
this is Logic8 Core Audio in Leopard. Very good.
this is Logic8 Core Audio with Tiger. Pretty good.
this is Logic 7.2.3. Pretty bad (but remeber that core audio of the OS
is doing the conversion) so this might be Panther ?

IChat echo cancellation terrible under Leopard

We have recently migrated everyone to Leopard. iChat audio used to be very good. Now with Leopard the echo suppression seems to be shot. We have to turn the volume and mic gain down a couple of notches from the Tiger settings to get rid of echo.
Has anyone else come across this problem, or even a solution?
Cheers
Jason

I used iChat with my colleague today. We had both upgraded to Leopard as well, and the echo was also terrible at first. It was somewhat improved by turning down the volumes as suggested here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306888
but it was definitely less pleasant than iChat on Tiger had been. We tried restarting the conference, as suggested in the doc, but that didn't help as far as we could tell. Basically, we could get something workable by fiddling with the volume (we did wind up using iChat for 1.5 hours) but I was hoping that chatting on Leopard would be better than Tiger, and it felt worse instead.

Does Apple Broadband Tuner work with Leopard?

Does anyone know if this works with Leopard? I didn't want to install it if it would screw up the OS. My speed seems bottlenecked at ~5Mbps on a 30Mbps FIOS connection. My speed patched XP box gets ~2.5MB/sec on a download while Leopard gets ~500KB/sec on the same download. Apple should have tuned Leopard's networking better than this.
Message was edited by: ch0b1ts2600

My speeds in my leopard have not changed and have not needed to use the broadband tuner my adsl2+ connection just flies.
That being said the broadband tuner just changes some tcp values and is not recommended for airport connections.
The system parameters are sysctl variables that are set as follows:
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf: 512000
The package installer works.
Once installed you can check to see if the tcp values have changed.
in the terminal use the command
sysctl -a
scroll through the list of values until you find
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 358400
Then you can see the pkg installer did work.

Backgrade: Leopard 2 Tiger

I have finally decided to backgrade from leopard server to tiger server. I was excited about ical server, but it along with leopard server, is beta software. Tiger server was stable and easy to use. I have no time to debug, reinstall, debug and reinstall. This AM I lost the primary admin account, all registered users after yesterday's timemachine backup. Users cannot see the server this AM, despite the fact that it worked at 5:30 last night. The best of luck to all you beta testers.
