MacBook with Leopard?

Hi there!
Hi! waves I am new to this community and I am having trouble getting answers from customer support or the apple stores... therefore, I am hoping someone here can help me. I want to buy my daughter a new MacBook but I want it preinstalled and configured with the newest OS that will be released on Oct 26. Does anyone here know when those will be commercially available?
TIA!

You would have to ask them why. I can think of a few reasons. Depends on how much stock is in house before the release at 6 PM Friday. Depends on how much they sell before the date. A lot of people are waiting for the release date so the on the shelf stock is sitting there not being sold. Customer support would have to know the stock of every store and retailer to come close to even guessing when it would be sold and the stock with Leopard would start being sold. The variables are endless. Your best bet would be to go into the store you plan on getting it from and talk to them The manager might be able to give you a better guesstimate.

  • MacBook with Leopard question...

    Hi Everyone,
    I am considering buying a Macbook this week. The question is if I buy it right now will it come with Leopard and iLife08 pre-installed considering that Leopard launch is just round the corner or will I not be eligible for it. I cannot wait to buy it and must buy it this week.
    If for some reason it does not have leopard installed then what do you suggest I do. I am in India where Apple support is very limited.
    Thanks for your responses in advance.

    Don't know the policy in India. In the US:

    If you've bought a Mac in the past two weeks--you're in luck. Apple says you're eligible to get a copy of Leopard for a $9.95 shipping and handling fee. Ditto if you buy a Mac system today. According to Brian Croll, senior director of Mac OS X product marketing, Apple will be pushed onto PCs as soon as possible. However, if for some reason your system doesn't have it preinstalled, you'll either get the Leopard DVD dropped into the box, or you'll be able to order it for the same shipping and handling fee as users who already bought their Mac this month.

  • Got a refurbished macbook with leopard separate, can i use it on diff mac??

    i purchased a refurbished macbook, and these come with leopard on 2 separate installing disk, can i use it to install it on my other mac that doesn't have leopard?

    Leopard usually comes with a single DVD.
    Are you sure that your disks are original and not copies?
    Did the disks come with a license?
    If your license is not for a Family Pack, then you are not allowed to install on more than one machine.
    If the disks are original Apple, they probably won't install on any other machine anyway, they are usually machine-specific.

  • Can MacBook with Leopard OS do two-sided printing on the Epson NX515?

    I am looking to buy an all in one printer, and the Epson NX515 seems best in a number of respects, especially the fact that its ink cartridges come in separate colors, which leads to much less waste of ink. But there is one item in the Epson documentation that concerns me ... the fact that two-sided printing may not be supported by Mac. Does anyone know if the Mac Book A1181 with Leopard OS does or does not support two-sided printing?
    Thank you.

    Hi @Blazer5,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are wondering how to setup two-sided printing with your HP Envy 5532. I am happy to help!
    To setup the duplex printing, I would recommend to go through this guide, Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Duplex) for HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One and Deskjet Ink Advantage..., as it has instructions for both Windows and Mac. Also here are some guidelines for you to follow:
    Understanding the following items can help you avoid possible problems when printing on both sides of the page.
    Do not print on both sides of the following types of paper, or jams might occur:
    Transparencies
    Envelopes
    Photo paper
    Glossy paper
    Paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb).
    Paper heavier than 105 g/m2 (28 lb).
    Several kinds of paper require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of a page. These include letterheads, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and pre-punched holes. The printer prints the first side of the paper first. Load the paper with top edge first and the print side down. 
    Also, this post, Vista / Win 7 Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide, by @Bob_Headrick. Might have some answers for you as well.
    In the print dialog box (after selecting File, and Print), you will see a box next to two-sided printing, that can be checked or un-checked, in order to toggle in-between the two functions.
    To change the print quality, you will want to go through this guide, HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One series and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4510 e-All-in-One series - Print Docum....
    For future reference, here is your printer's user guide.
    Hope this helps!

  • 5400rpm or 7200rpm for Macbook with leopard?

    I am getting a good deal on Samsung's 250GB 5400rpm drive but I hear some people say 5400rpm is not good for leopard and is slow. But some folks also say 7200rpm gets hot on macbooks and is noisy.
    So I am really confused and would like to know what other macbook users say about them. I would really appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

    there are always good and bad points to everything, in this case they are quite even...
    as the current macbooks ship with 5400rpm HDD's, this definitely isn't that slow, and if using your computer for every day use, the difference between 5400prm and 7200rpm will be almost indistinguishable, also the macbook air ships with a 4200rpm HDD apple obviously dont think this is too slow to be acceptable for normal use.
    Of course a newer 5400 RPM drive is going to have a faster transfer rate than an older 5400 RPM drive due to higher "areal desity" (how much data is capable of being stored per unit area) with newer platters.
    the good point for the 5400 HDD is that the battery can last longer, because the disk moves slower therefore consuming less power.
    I heard maybe a .5 watt typical difference with the latest drives of both types. Might mean a few more minutes battery life, but about the power usage of a USB device like a mouse or flash drive. I think just dimming the display would make a bigger difference. In addition, new drives are generally more efficient and a new 7200 RPM drive might have about the same power consumption as an older 5400 RPM drive.
    the bad point mainly made for the 7200 HDD is the battery life, which can be significantly reduced, but the good point is that leopard and other programs will run faster...
    The way I saw it was that it wouldn't really matter with me since my MacBook mostly sits on the coffee table plugged into the power adapter.
    so, its your choice, speed over battery...
    unless you are going to be using a lot of high powered programs the 5400 rpm HDD should be more than adequate
    Certainly nothing wrong with it. I just put in a 7200 RPM drive to see if I could.

  • ISight on MacBook with Leopard 10.5.1 does not work

    I just installed Leopard on an iBook, G4 and iSight completely doesn't work.
    I have an external iSight. I tried a new 1.3 iSight download but it didn't work with an iBook.
    Does Apple know about this?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Thomas Steffens
    You can use the suggestions in How to test your iSight to ensure it is functional to check out your external iSight.
    If your problem persists after that, and if you have not already used the 10.5.1 download updater, repair permissions, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update, repair permissions again after the restart that completes the update, and try iSight again.
    You can assure that Apple knows about your problem by submitting Mac OS X Feedback or contacting Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider about your problem.

  • How to upgrade Macbook with Leopard OS.

    I have an older Mac Book. I upgraded my iphone 4s to ios6 but now my itunes isn't compatible because they've stopped making updates for my computer. My Macbook is running on Leopard. How can I upgrade my computer so I can get updates on my itunes.

    You have to upgrade to 10.6.8 to be able to download iTunes 10.7. The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

  • How do i sync ical to google calendars with Leopard?

    Hi I am trying to syn two macbooks ical to google calendars.  I can do it on one by going ical>preferences>accounts>+account>
    which pops up a box with  Accounts information : server settings:  Delegation along the top and description: username:password:fullname:refreshcalendars along the left
    But after ical>preferences>accounts>+account> on the other older macbook with Leopard OS the pop up is more basic with no tabs across the tops just down the left description :username:password: account URL
    But when I input exactly the same info it says the login failed - your password was rejected by the server but the password is absolutely correct and I have double checked it by logging in else where.
    Any advice?

    I found the answer.
    The computer that I was having problems adding the Ical cal dav account to for google calendars has iCal 3 software;
    This is how to set up the account after turning on 2 step verification in google and creating a application specific password
    Set Up Google Calendar iCal Sync in iCal 3
    To set up Google Calendar iCal synchronization manually:
    Select iCal | Preferences... from the menu in iCal.
    Go to the Accounts tab.
    Click + beneath the Accounts list.
    Enter "Google Calendar" under Description:.
    Type your Google Calendar account user name (say, your Gmail address) under Username:.
    Enter the Google Calendar account's password under Password:.
    Expand Server Options.
    Type "https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/" (not including the quotation marks) underAccount URL:.
    Append your Google Calendar user name to that.
    Append "/user" (excluding, again, the quotation marks) to the that.
    Finally, you could have something like "https://www.google.com/ calendar/ dav/[email protected]/user" under Account URL:.
    Click Add.
    Highlight the newly added account in the Accounts list.
    Go to the Delegation tab.
    Make sure all calendars you want to access in addition to your default Google Calendar calendar are checked.
    Close the Accounts preferences window.

  • I'm Dreaweaver problems with Leopard

    I recently got a new Macbook with leopard and carried over my old version of Dreamweaver to it. Now when I try to edit flashtext it's giving me an "unknown error" message. The flash text won't even show up on the dreamweaver page anymore. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Since Dreamweaver is not an Apple product, you should probably post your question on the Adobe discussion forums:

  • Toast 6.0.9 works fine with Leopard 10.5.1 !!

    I'd heard after 6.0.9 that Roxio was going to include some limitations on Toast... hmmm... didn't realize that incompatibility in version 7 with Leopard would be part of the limitations.
    Don't take my word for it. If you have an old copy try it (version 6.0.9 is what I have tested).
    Before you test it you should first temporarily remove/archive your version 7 Toast preference file. Then of course you'll have to re-enter your version 6 serial #... but version 6.0.9 runs AND VERIFIES great in Leopard 10.5.1 !
    I checked the files I burned to both CDs and DVDs... no problems... and accurate byte-for-byte!
    Incredible!
    This is on a G5 running Leopard 10.5.1

    i'm using Logic Pro 8.01 on my G5 PPC with NO problems while using OS 10.4.11. So, I might suggest downgrading, and waiting until Leopard runs better for the G5 when using Logic 8.
    However, I'm running Logic 8.01 on my Intel Macbook with Leopard and there are NO problems, whatsoever.
    The error message you're getting would seem to indicate that a path can't be found. I would remove any Logic preferences you may have established from the past and repair permissions. Without knowing how you upgraded to Leopard and how you are installing Logic 8 it's hard to troublshoot.

  • Exceeding IMAP-Traffic with Leopard Mail

    I'm seeing some weird network traffic on my mailserver over IMAPS. I configured Mail.app to fetch my mail via IMAPS from my cyrus imap server. Since some weeks I get traffic warning from my provider. The traffic exceeding the former values about 2 or 3 times. I tracked this down with ntop on my server and see that there is a lot of IMAPS traffic. About 780 MB within a few ours to my MacBook with Leopard.
    So I assume that the new Mail.app is behaving different then Mail.app in Tiger. The exceeding traffic seems to start when I swiched to Leopard.
    Can anyone confirm this?

    Yes you are right. The reason is simple and quite sad
    Let assume you want to send a mail with an attachment of 1 MB size.
    First you send the mail via SMTP: upload traffic 1 MB so far. Then your Sent Items folder gets synchronized: another instance of the message is downloaded: 2 MB total.
    Then your All mail folder gets synchronised: that includes All mail, hence Sent Items as well: another 1 MB download will be generated.
    Summary:
    Sending 1 MB invokes the upload of 1 MB and the download of 2 MB.
    If you receive an email of 1 MB size: downloading to Inbox (1 MB), downloading to All Mail (1 MB)
    Summary:
    Receiving 1 MB invokes the download of 2 MB.
    The problem is related to two different issues: one with the sending-sent items relationship, the other is the missing unsubscribe option for IMAP (such function only works for Exchange).

  • If i have a new  2.2 macbook w/ leopard  can i use desktop remote 2.0

    if i have a brand new macbook with leopard installed can i use desktop 2.0 to control my emacs in my computer lab that are all running panther but are updated to 10.3.9
    windoze

    ARD 2.2 is not supported on Leopard. At least one user (raus), though, posted here that he got ARD 2.2 to work in Leopard. It's the same work-around Apple provided for ARD 2.2 to work on Intel Macs using Tiger. From the finder, navigate to:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteMangement
    From the folder, delete (or move) the ARDAgent v3.X file. Install the 2.2 update for ARD on the Apple site. (This may be optional; the original poster just reinstalled the update to be safe.) You can reportedly now run Remote Desktop 2.2 in 10.5. This works for PowerPC and Intel Macs.
    Note, though, that this is completely unsupported by Apple and may or may not work, or may cause issues. For proper support for Leopard, you need ARD 3.2.
    Good luck.
