Main in Leopard Issues

After installing Leopard, my Mail program doesn't work. Everything else works, but when I double click on Mail, it says, "You cannot use the application "Mail" with this version of Mac OS X."

This is the forums for Mail and Address book using Mac OS X Tiger, not Leopard.
You should probably post your question in the Leopard Mail and Address Book forums:

  • Illustrator CS4 in Snow Leopard Issues

    I have a logo file that I created in Illustrator CS4 on an iMac running Snow Leopard and it does not display some of the text layers when saving for the web or saving as an Illustrator CS3 file or copying and pasting into Photoshop CS4. Basically the text layers are just standard text using Adobe Garamond Pro (Italic and Regular) fonts and white text on a black background. In the original file both text lines look fine but when I try to save using one of the other methods above I no longer see the 2nd text line. So, in effect I can't create the JPEG or GIF that I need from this logo. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Maybe not a cs4/snow leopard issue but an overprinting issue?
    Is the white text that goes away set to overprint?

  • Leopard issues with G5 Power Mac

    Here is a list of Leopard issues I have encountered with my G5 Power Mac. my machine is a dual 2.0 with 6 GB RAM. I have 2 hard drives, 1 500 and 1 750. I amusing the ATI x1900 G5 mac Edition card powering 2 Apple Cinema Displays.
    1) the x1900 G5 Power mac Edition card has some serious issues with Leopard. Terrible redraws, artifacting and kernel panics seem to be caused by the use of this card under Leopard. The latest drivers on the ATI site are for Tiger.
    2) Adobe CS3 installs, but the install crashes repeatedly and you have to keep retrying. This does not happen on Tiger.
    3) Many other apps are quirky under Leopard, as are some peripherals. For example, my Microtek ScanMaker 9800 XL large format scanner works fine, but if you are saving a scanned image you are limited to one letter for the name of the image in the "Save As" dialogue.
    These are some of the issues that have caused me to go back to Tiger, where everything just works.

    I've got a G5 Quad with the ATI x1900 powering 2 monitors (including a 30" cinema), and leopard indeed ***** with this setup. I've troubleshot for more time than it's worth, but the setup has become ALMOST workable with a few changes. by turning off spaces, cleaning out the card's cooling system itself (dust), and NEVER EVER putting the machine to sleep, it rarely kernel panics.
    This is the second X1900 (first 1 was replaced by ATI for overheating/locking up problems about a year ago with 10.4). - It seems once the card overheats to a certain degree, it fails constantly no matter what you do.
    When 10.5 was first installed, it locked up and the fans kicked into overdrive about 7 or 8 times a day for no apparent reason. The machine would go to sleep fine but after about 30 seconds or so, it would kick the fans up to full and no video would come on. The screensaver caused the same problem. If the video did come back, it seemed to lock up all USB traffic when it did so.
    Now, after 2 weeks of fighting with it, it only freezes once a day or so. I know Apple released a firmware update for the MacPro version of this card, but the G5 version has a different firmware, and so far nothing's come from ATI.
    The problem is gone in Tiger, so it's definitely a software/driver/firmware issue. Hopefully Apple and ATI fix this thing before I have to revert to using the lame NV6600 that came with the machine. 'Be nice if the people who spent the money on "top-of-the-line" got the same amount of time and tech development devoted to them as the masses. - It seems the MacPro users with the ATI X1900 card are in the same boat as us though. (Gee - some consolation.)

  • 1st generation MacBook, battery and Leopard issues; looking for help please

    I have a 1st generation MacBook that started having battery problems immediately after installing Leopard. it was the same issue many others have complained about; battery life shortened and shutting down while on battery power with no warning. I have never had that problem while using Tiger. I experienced this with both 10.5.0 and the stand alone upgrade of 10.5.1 using an erase and install method.
    (BTW, as a side note: I'm religious about calibrating my battery every month and use a program called "CoconutBattery" to document the results. Prior to Leopard, the battery measured 97-99% capacity. Three days after Leopard was installed it was time for another check, the result was 74% capacity.)
    I had a clone backup of Tiger and immediately restored my MacBook, but the problem followed Tiger. I have Applecare and called support. Both myself and the tech found it rather hard to believe that the battery just suddenly failed coincidentally after the Leopard install. We went through the regular things; SMC reset, firmware checks, diagnostics, repair permissions, etc.
    We believe it has to do with the Battery Updater package. I had gone between both versions of 1.2 and 1.3, but the problem remained with both Tiger and Leopard. The tech decided to send me a new battery (it's on the way) and I wish to try installing Leopard again. As long as I have my cloned Tiger image, all I have to lose is my time, but hopefully, not another battery! I would honestly like to get Leopard running on this machine.
    But... here's my question. In reading through these discussions in both the Leopard and MacBook forum, there doesn't seem to be any consensus of which BatteryUpdater package to use. The Apple tech honestly told me he didn't know. Also, if the BU package "writes" to the battery (which it states it does), can it be downgraded once v1.3 has been installed? I mean, should I leave the battery out, install Leopard, then manually update BU to v1.2 before installing the battery (if possible)? I do plan on testing the new battery with my Tiger install, just to verify it is working as it was before.
    There are a lot of people here claiming to be knowledgeable about Leopard, never had any problems with a variety of machines, etc, etc, so I would appreciate your input. Please don't speculate, but if you're using a version of BU that works with Leopard and your 1st Gen MacBook, I would appreciate you telling me about it. I have tried to document and methodically relate everything I've done so far, but if you need additional information, just let me know.
    I noticed Leopard had installed BU v1.3 when I checked it, so it must use that as default, since I noticed Tiger had v1.2.
    OR, am I way off base on this? Can anyone think of another reason I may have had this problem? Am I barking up the wrong tree by concentrating on the BatteryUpdater package? Is it possible all these batteries are failing under a Leopard install maybe due to some unknown reason?
    Any knowledgeable advice or suggestions are welcome, thanks!

    Well, Ding Dang y'all... it appears the battery was the culprit. I received my replacement battery from Apple and followed the same steps and everything seems to be working fine.
    It sure was strange that the battery started this problem immediately after Leopard was installed... I don't know what to say about that, unless BatteryUpdater v1.3 started the chain of events.
    In case it helps someone else, here's exactly what I did (rebooted through each step):
    - Backed up data; unauthorized computer from iTunes
    - Erase and install from the Leopard disc, while keeping the old battery in
    - Installed Leopard, did software updates except for delta 10.5.1 update
    - Applied combo update of 10.5.1 from separately downloaded file
    - Found BatteryUpdater Bundle (BU) of v1.3, moved to trash, rebooted
    - Ran software updates, BU v1.2 was found and installed
    - Then, swapped out battery to new battery
    - Tested unit, seems to be okay now, no shutdown issues, battery runtime seems normal
    Thanks to all that had advice and suggestions. It was enough to get me to try it again. Now, I have two more machines to upgrade, since these are production machines, I'll probably wait awhile. But, having this is a real treat.
    Have a great holiday everyone!

  • Snow Leopard issues ... a few.

    Morning all!
    I've had a few SL niggles since the upgrade, but when a carbon copy cloner backup failed last night I've started digging.
    1. Screen corruption, only happened once, had to force reboot. Whole screen was corrupt.
    2. Cannot open screen saver preference pane, crashes. Seeing this in the console:
    20/10/2009 06:47:22 [0x0-0x73073].com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine[1144] Tue Oct 20 06:47:22 xxx.local ScreenSaverEngine[1144] <Error>: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment
    3. Console is constantly writing this error:
    20/10/2009 08:54:50 [0x0-0xa30a3].com.apple.Console[2257] Tue Oct 20 08:54:50 xxx.local Console[2257] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: cglsCreateContext = 10015
    Short of a fresh OS install are any of these common and easily solvable issues? I did a fresh SL install originally and then restored my user stuff from a backup but I'm thinking perhaps I should do another and re-install everything manually.
    Cheers,
    Adam

    Why not just try a normal install of Snow Leopard? IOW, just put the disc in the optical drive, launch the install app, & let it run, without erasing anything beforehand. This allows the installer to move anything it knows to be incompatible with Snow Leopard to the "Incompatible Applications" folder & to do some minor adjustments to the user home folder items.
    It may not solve all your problems but it gives you a good starting point to eliminate the rest of them. If problems persist, check your login items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items tab) for any suspicious items.

  • Leopard Issues When Installing, Doesn't recognize external drives

    Here we go again,
    I have another user who upgrade to Leopard doing an Archive Clean Install probably with the external hard drives plugged into the Mac. Now his external drives aren't recognized at all. Does anyone know what is causing this issue and is there away to fix this problem without doing a complete archive reinstall all over again?

    Is the partition scheme and format consistent with that machine and Leopard?
    Were the drives password protected?
    Can you mount the drives using the terminal?
    Do the drives show up on any another computer running Tiger? If they don't then going back to Tiger won't help.
    There was a problem early on that it sometimes took a very long time (1/2 hour) for Leopard to recognize a drive because of Spotlight. How long did you wait for the drives to be recognized?

  • Known Snow Leopard Issues Question?

    there is no automated way to do that. basically you need to copy everything you need by hand. see this post on where some important data is stored
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507
    but before you go through all that trouble, make a new account and make sure that the problems that were bothering you are not present there. they might be system-wide in which case making a new account will not help.

  • MacBookPro issue or Leopard issue?

    My MacBookPro running Leopard is doing weird things.....I've started getting multiple error messages when trying to access different websites or different pages within websites-mostly "Safari can't connect to...because you are not connected to the internet..."....but I am connected.... I sometimes can't get my Mail either....everything works fine on my G4 PowerMac running Panther. I've verified and repaired permissions....run Software Update....any ideas?

    issues are gone...don't know why...

  • Finalcut Pro 5.1.4 and Leopard issue on Mac book Pro?

    I have Final Cut pro 5.1.4 installed on my new 17 " 2.6ghz MacBookPro 4 gigs of ram. I'm running Leopard as the operating system.
    Whats happening is that when I run FCP, after a few times scrubbing I loose my video in both viewer. Then I tried creating a new project and same thing, no video output. This didnt happened on my IMAC running Tiger.
    I was wondering if someone had experieced that and if theres a fix for it?
    Thanks

    Rachel,
    Welcome to the forums.
    Let me suggest that you begin a new thread for your issues. That helps everyone involved. When you start your new thread be sure to indicate what versions of FCP, OS X and QT that you have installed as well as what format your video is, where it is stored and what your sequence settings are. This will insure a quicker response.
    Thanks

  • Unstable!!! Various Leopard issues

    I just upgrade my OS from Tiger to Leopard and ever since I did I have been having a host of problems. Im on a G5 with 3gigs of ram and i dont get it.
    my computer freezes a lot when I try to perform simple tasks like trying to empty the trash it would freeze and that ball would just keep spinning.
    I try to restart my computer sometimes and it would freeze.
    I use my mac in a studio and when I try to set the audio output setting to my audio interface it does not stay it jump to another option on its own.
    my custom desktop background image goes back to the default screen and I have to re apply the image.
    Ive reinstall my OS 10.5 twice and still are having these issues. Did the tech support troubleshooting to no success. I have never had none of these issues with Tiger. Why if leopard is support to be better than the last why all the issues out the gate. can someone help me because I really would hate to go back to tiger after I just purchased leopard

    You're not alone. I did a clean install and I'm having problems, too. If we could get the cool new features of Leopard with the reliability of Tiger, there's no question, we'd have the ultimate system.
    Tiger was so reliable on my old eMac when my sister had it, the power went off and she couldn't turn it on because she forgot where the power button was. Another big ordeal - once, when a friend was using it, the keyboard and mouse quit responding. The problem? The USB cable came unplugged and the mouse was plugged into the keyboard. .

  • Continuing Leopard Issues with Acrobat Pro

    So after patiently waiting for Leopard update and installing it, I'm still having the same Distiller crash when trying to print to PDF. Is anyone else still having problems after this update? There's little weird about the machine - MBP Intel with 10.5.1 - and I'm up to round 4 with Adobe support on this.

    I was having the crash issue with Acrobat Professional 8 right after I upgraded to CS3 in 2007 and prior to loading Leopard recently. Calling Adobe did not help in fixing the problem (they just had me reinstall the software). The support staff didn't find/look for the Technote I finally found: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=333592
    When I upgraded to Leopard yesterday, I started making sure I had the latest updates for my CS3 suite and had to turn the updater.acroplugin plugin back on to install the updates. I was hoping the updates would have fixed the problem, but it didn't. Soon as I "unchecked" the acroplugin, Acrobat worked fine again in Leopard.

  • Quicktime & Leopard Issue!?!?!?!

    A buddy of mine just got a new macbook with Leopard. He is dropping videos into Quicktime Pro to play in succession. I have done this many times with my macbook pro with no issues. The issue is that when he adds video to the movie, there is a bar that pops up on the far right side of the window with flickering video in it. Like I said, I have done it many times with 10.4.11 with no issues. Any ideas, suggestions, fixes, etc.?

    Try the FCP or QuickTime forums.

  • Logic 8 and possible Snow Leopard Issue

    Ok folks, this is my first post/problem on the apple discussion boards....here it goes. Hopefully someone can tell me what my problem:
    Specs: MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM: Operating on Snow Leopard.
    Logic Pro 8.0.2; Lexicon Omega USB as the core audio.
    Problem: First of all, I work primarily with MIDI and some vocal audio. Ever since I installed snow leopard on my computer Logic has been giving me a lot of problems. My CPU can't even handle one VST plugin with a couple effects on it now. Sometimes even just playing an instrument, one of the ram sticks will spike and either crash logic or say it's overloaded and cut out the audio. This happens either with a single instrument, or with a sequence I created, it can't play the loop back all the way through without saying "core audio overload". I primarily use Komplete 5 software instruments by Native Instruments, and I know these eat up CPU but it was never like this before I installed Snow Leopard. I tried dumbing down the I/O buffer size, and process buffer range, but none of these seem to make a difference. Why is it only one CPU bar that spikes? I'm not running anything else on the computer at the time. Is 2GB of ram not enough anymore?
    One more issue that might help someone troubleshoot this...actually playing the instruments isn't as much of an obstacle as playback. Also, any session that I've made under the old operation system, if I try and open it up and play it, it either overloads IMMEDIATELY or the actual software instruments don't play, and the only way to make them play is to rewire them by taking them off and putting them back on again.
    I can usually troubleshoot these things myself but for some reason I'm scared that it's a RAM issue and that I will need to buy a new computer to continue my producing. Because 2 is as high as this macbook goes, right? I hope it's just a USB thing and I need to upgrade my interface or switch to firewire.
    Can anyone offer some advice or a solution to this problem?
    Thanks,
    J

    wow, thanks guys.

  • Annoying leopard issues

    Hello. We've just upgraded to leopard & have the following problems: Show hide (Command H) doesn't work or causes InDesign to crash. Can't import .ai anymore. Says import failed.
    Running 5.03 on intel mac. Plenty of ram.
    Thanks

    Check the five dozen other threads on this forum that discuss this issue in gory detail! :-(
    The problem is an Apple-acknowledged bug in MacOS X 10.5. It
    may be fixed in 10.5.6 (we don't know when that will come, though).
