Lightroom Is Still Broken in Leopard

Well here we are, Nov. 10th.
Lightroom Still isnt working in Leopard.
How close are we Adobe?

For 64 bit Carbon?
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/6
Yeah, I know that for Adobe (and for Microsoft) it's a big deal. Because of the huge code bases and extensive support and code base that dates to pre-OS X days. Basically no "free" 64 bit support as many parts of the UI layer just ain't going 64 bit. Also given the "Hey when is Photoshop going to be 64 bit?" questions it's not something that isn't being considered :-)
These types of problems though really affect software products that have been around for a long, long time way more than they do other apps. Because none of these SDKs were available in System 6. Well if Photoshop were developed from the start on NextStep maybe it would have been easier but it's a fine line balancing the needs of what's good for the platform in the future and the needs of your existing user base (and the apps they must rely on).
I mean, you get apps like this that come out of nowhere:
http://www.naked.la/light/
Which largely rely on the OS foundations to do the work. Core Image is something that's really cool (modulo performance issues and hardware requirements) that can substantially reduce development time here. But if you're doing cross-platform and there's no Win32 equivalent then they aren't any help.
Anyway, regarding API choices and legacy compatibility and the like -- I'm glad I don't have to make those decisions :-)

  • Airport Disk still broken after latest software update

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244463
    I like how the topic above was marked as 'solved' and archived. Another Airport software has come and gone and Airport disks are still broken. Mine let me copy 74GB of data to it, but refuses to show the contents via the USB port. Anyone had any luck with this after the latest software update?

    I have had similar issues since upgrading to Snow Leopard. The first time, I took my MacBook to be checked and the tech said it booted up fine under another startup disk. Since it's under warranty, they just reloaded the original system (Leopard) and I needed to rely on a time machine backup. Now, after the latest software update from Apple, I had the same problem, and am restoring from the latest Time Machine backup.
    Does anyone know if this is a systemic problem? Any tips on preventing a repeat the next time I need to update my system software?
    Thanks.

  • View Options Still Broken

    View options was broken in Lion (some carried over, others became a white background with greyed out options). I was hoping against hope that this would get fixed in mountain Lion, but my User folder's View Options, for example, is still broken. What will it take to fix this? Can anyone help?

    Can you explain what it is you think is broken?
    Ok, I think I might have figured out what you are describing.
    Sorry to inform you, but you can't set any backgrounds if you have an arrangement set. Arrangement must be set to None in order to set a background color or picture. And, it can only be done in Icon view.
    There is nothing "broken." Just too difficult to implement, I imagine.

  • My playback screen in iMovie '11 is always blank or a still, broken picture. How do I fix this?

    Picture of my screen: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/screenshot20120623at929.png/
    Sometimes it ends up like this: a still, broken picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/screenshot20120623at929.png/
    I don't know what happened. It was fine until I tried to play back a video I was making and it didn't want to. Imported videos play fine, but when I drag a clip to the editing part it doesn't play.
    I also made a short project a while ago, but no matter what I tried I couldn't delete it. I also couldn't play it again or even access the editing screen
    I don't know if I imported too many videos, or have too many videos in the Project Library, but the playback screen is just not working!
    The audio is completely fine, however.
    What happened?

    Hi
    Have no clue - but You might try some of this
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • I'm still using Snow Leopard because heard too many horror stories about upgrading to Lion. But I can't upgrade Safari unless I upgrade OS. Is Mavericks any better than Lion?

    I'm still using Snow Leopard OS because I heard too many horror stories about people upgrading their OS to Lion.  But I can't upgrade Safari anymore unless I upgrade the OS. I get messages constantly telling me I need to upgrade my web browser, and have increasing problems correctly viewing pages (like L.A. TImes, NY TImes) because Safari needs upgrading.
    I can't really tell what the advantages are to upgrade to OS Mavericks or OS Yosemite because it seems most are intended for mobile apps, and I only use my desktop.
    My last upgrade to SNow Leopard wiped out 2/3 of my iPhoto collection. No idea why and no fix. Macs used to be the epitome of compatibility for upgrades — not anymore.
    What are my options? What issues would I encounter if I upgrade OS to Mavericks or to Yosemite? WHat are likely problems, advantages and disadvantages?
    Thanks for any help sent my way.

    If you do want to upgrade.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.
    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.

    I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?
    Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
    Appreciate any answers to this query?

    Your question is unclear.  If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:

  • Apple Configurator still broken in 1.4.2 for me

    My testing of 1.4.2 today shows it's still broken. I need to transfer existing supervised iPads from old 2008 MacBooks to new 2013 MacBook Airs with Mavericks. I have special ed students each assigned iPads that have unique configurations for each user. I can't just wipe the device and start over. They have many apps setup to communicate with teachers and parents that took time to configure. In the past when I needed to transfer an iPad to another laptop I was able to make a backup in iTunes un-supervise the device off the old laptop then re-supervise it on the new one. Once I copied the backup to the new laptop I was then able to open iTunes restore the backup for the students data. I then opened Apple Configurator which showed the device still supervised at which point I refreshed the device. This put the correct profiles back in place and I was off and running to enroll it back to our MDM. The product now just wipes the device and prepares it again. Since it's first release at the very beginning I've been held hostage to many times by this product. If Apple truly believes this product is the answer for enterprise and education device preparation they really need make sure the product actually works before releasing it to the masses. The hours I've wasted trying to get this working I'll never get back.
    If anyone has any suggestions in how I can transfer existing devices to another laptop then restore, retain, &amp; refresh the device without being brought back to square one I really appreciate it.

    I am having issues with it not restoring the app locations on the screens or if they were in a folder.

  • Photoshop: values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard

    I posted this in answer to another thread, but decided that it may be helpful to some Photoshop users if it had its own topic:
    The following is a technote copied from Adobe's forums, regarding the performance of several menus for key tool settings in Photoshop CS3 running in Leopard:
    *Changing values for type, brush, crop, lasso etc tools broken on Leopard*
    *Kirsten Harris - 08:58pm Nov 15, 2007 Pacific*
    Adobe and Apple are working closely to provide a fix to a known issue running Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1). Currently, when you enter values in numerical fields to set sizes for the brush, crop, marquee, lasso, type, and other Photoshop CS3 tools, those values revert to previously entered values when you try to apply them.
    # While we have identified workarounds for some of the affected tools, this issue prevents people from working as precisely and intuitively as they expect. Providing a fix to customers is a top priority. Please note the following: The fix will be provided through an update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update.
    # Apple is collaborating closely with us to get this fix incorporated into a Mac OS X Leopard update. No public schedule is available at this time, but both companies understand the urgency of this fix.
    # As soon as the appropriate update to Mac OS X Leopard is available, we will immediately alert our Photoshop users.
    Affected Photoshop CS3 tools: Art History tool, Blur tool, Brush tool, Burn tool, Color Replacement tool, Clone tools (all), Crop tool, Dodge tool, Eraser tools (all), Gradient tool, Healing tools (all), History tool, Lasso tools (all), Line tool, Magic Wand tool, Marquee tools (all), Paint Bucket tool, Pencil tool, Polygon tool, Quick Selection tool, Red Eye tool, Rounded Rectangle tool, Sharpen tool, Smudge tool, Sponge tool, Slice tool, Type tool
    Workaround for tools with sliders: Instead of typing in a number, use the sliders to change the value.
    Workaround for tools with pop-up menus: Enter a value for the size but don’t press Return/Enter to apply the value. Instead, choose it from the top of the Size pop-up menu to commit it.
    Workaround for tools which do not have sliders or pop-up menus: For certain tools, such as the Line tool, you may want to set up presets that you can load to set common sizes. Alternatively, you can restart Photoshop CS3 to clear the problem. You will then be able to enter values again. However, the issue typically re-surfaces quickly.
    If additional details come to light, our tech doc Values in numerical fields in Photoshop CS3 revert to the previous value in Mac OS X v10.5.1 (Leopard) will be updated.

    Well, that's interesting! Here I thought the problem with my CS1 was just that it was too old, running in Rosetta and all, and would be fixed when I get my Xmas treat of CS3. Wonder if that means when the fix comes from Apple it will also fix the same problem in CS1? Of course, by then I'll probably have CS3.... Thanks for posting this, I would have been mighty annoyed to have plonked down my 200 bucks only to discover that I had the same bugs.

  • Rd-metadatatool still broken in 2.4.0 RC1

    It looks like the rd-metadatatool is still broken in the RC1 build. The
    compiled Test class is located in the same directory as the source file and
    can be found without problem by loading the class from another file. Does
    the rd-metadatatool use multiple class loaders? If so, perhaps the wrong
    one is being used to load the class.

    Hm. Well, I promise that when I used to catch a fish on that Flick Fishing game, that there would be a vibration. I don't know how the device or the game made it happen, but I don't think I would mistake a sound for a movement of/in the device itself. I just played the game with the sound up, and there was still no wiggle. I suppose in the end, its really not that important. I know that there was a "wiggle" in that game before the latest Apple software update, that there isn't one now, so I'll just chalk it up to an "improvement."

    If your system meets the Mountain Lion specs, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs you can go directly to ML from Snow Leopard.

  • Can I still install Snow leopard?

    Is there any way that I can still download Snow leopard from the apple store? Or where can I download it without tech support?

    If your new Mac Pro was delivered with Lion, you probably cannot reliably run Snow Leopard on it. You might ask in the MacPro discussion to see if anyone is able to do that with your configuration. Be sure to include what operating system your system was delivered with.

  • Nortel VPN still broken with Airport Extreme firmware 7.1

    I've just recently started using the NAT'ed mode of my 802.11n Airport Extreme and the the Nortel VPN connectivity is still broken with firmware 7.1.
    I've setup a side by side config using the new Airport Extreme and my older Airport Express to make sure the issue is indeed with the Airport Extreme.
    Here are the details of my setup:
    ISP: NTT/GOL B-FLET (PPoE)
    Wireless Config #1 - Airport Extreme firmware 7.1
    Wireless Config #2 - Airport Express firmware 6.3
    Client #1 - Nortel Contivity VPN V06_01.014 Windows XP 802.11g
    Client #2 - Nortel Contivity VPN V04_86.033 Windows XP in Parallels 802.11n
    The odd thing is that it isn't totally broken. The VPN connection is made and low bandwidth transfers work fine (ie. ssh, http requests), but higher bandwidth transfer fail to complete (ie RDP/RDC, ftp's, Outlook xfers).
    When my clients are on the Airport Extreme Network, they have the issue but don't have the issue on the Airport Express network.
    Is anyone else still having problems with Nortel VPN ? Does Apple have any suggestions ?
    Thanks,
    Eliot

    I'm using Apani's Nortel VPN client (the most recent version) on my Mac mini, and the Windows version on my Windows XP notebook computer. Both were broken with the original AEBS firmware (7.0), but now both work well with the updated 7.1 firmware.
    Keep experimenting - I'm sure you'll get it working.

  • Will the new MBP still run Snow Leopard?

    I am considering buying a new MBP, but I need to know if it will run SL?  Does anybody know?

    The Early 2011 MacBook Pro being sold can still run Snow Leopard, I have such a machine here.
    There is no hardware/driver difference as yet, perhaps not for long. Apple is keeping it's downgrade options open for now.
    Just c boot off the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard install disk, use Disk Utility to erase and reformat the whole drive (deletes the Lion Recovery Partition) and install.
    Make sure to make bootable copies of the Snow Leopard install disk
    http://www.walterjessen.com/make-a-bootable-backup-snow-leopard-install-disc/
    As you know, the Retail Disks of OS X don't contain the free iLife that comes with new Mac's (in the past on the grey disks or now on MAS)
    I don't care much for Lion, less than stellar GUI's can be had for a lot less in hardware costs.
