Pubmed problems in leopard

Accessing pubmed with any browser under OS X 10.5.8 stalls when next button is clicked at bottom of page of results.
Does not happen in 10.6 or lion.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm, I wonder if I'm doing it right, tried 3 different browsers in 10.5.8, (SeaMonkey, Safari, Firefox), and the Next button works fine!???

Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?

I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
Thanks for any suggestions.

> Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
b FUD
I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
b irresponsible
advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
"Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
Vincent-
> I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
i simultaneously,
and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

Problem with leopard DVD loading in PowerPC G4

Hi having problems installing Leopard DVD on Mac G4 desk top - 1GHz PowerPC G4 (3,6), 1MB L3 Cache, 768 MB Ram.
A few of the details:
1) I have installed Leopard on my Laptop and it is running fine and it is a family pack edition DVD.
2) I wiped the G4 I am trying to install clean and re-loaded the original system software, then loaded to Tiger to see if that was the issue...When I put in the Leopard DVD it doesn't even show as being in the computer. It doesn't come up on the desk top...it doesn't show in the HD...it doesn't make a sound at all when put in the DVD slot...basically, the computer is not recognizing the DVD. I have tried other cd's and DVD's in the drive....everything is working except the Leopard DVD.
Any ideas?

Hi Allan. He said it was a Family Pack DVD.

Possible Fix for Printing Problems in Leopard

I got this information from Mac OS X Leopard Edition book by David Pogue. Here's his possible fix for printing problems in Leopard...Open web browser and enter this address http://127.0.0.1:631. You'll find youself at a secret "front end" for CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System), the underlying printing technology for Mac OS X 10.5. This trick lets your Mac communicate with a huge array of older printers that dopn't yet have Mac OS X drivers. Using this administration screen, you can print a test page, stop your printer in its tracks, manage your networked printers and print jobs, and more–a very slick trick. Haven't tried it yet...anyone who does let me know how it worked!

If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

Digital Camera Connection Problems With Leopard

Hi Everyone,
I'm having a big problem with connecting various digital cameras to my macs. I have 3 different machines (a G5 iMac, 2 MacBook Pros) all running 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 and none of them will recognize my canon Powershot SD800 or my SD1000. I haven't had a chance to test it out with my Digital Rebel yet but I'm suspecting I may run into the same issue.
I've read through all the tech notes in the iLife section and various articles on the web and from what I can tell Apple has a problem with usb device connections in Leopard. I've tried all of the fixes (deleting caches folder, resetting PRAM, updating all applications, etc) and nothing works. The cameras were working fine under 10.4.11. I was really hoping Apple would have fixed this in 10.5.2 but it is still not working. Does anyone have any ideas if Apple is working on this? For photographers like myself this is a major deal. I can get around the issue right now using an external memory card reader, but that's extremely inconvenient at times and I'm just not impressed that something like this has gone months without a fix from Apple.

And I'm not having any problems with Leopard mounting my Canon PowerShot Pro or Rebel though I typically don't connect them, choosing to use a card reader instead. (Saves camera battery.) This is true on the 4 computers I use at home and work as well as my wife's MacBook. Two came with Leopard pre-installed the other 3 I installed Leopard using Archive & install.
We can talk about how you upgraded to Leopard or what you have installed that might be getting in the way, or you can buy an inexpensive card reader and be done with the hassle.

Mouse interaction problem in Leopard

Hi Folks,
All of a sudden, my mouse has some interaction problem in Leopard. Tried different mice, they all behave the same, so I guess this is an issue with Leopard.
Very weird symptoms:
1- In Sarafi, when I place pointer on a hyperlink, it doesn't change from arrow to hand, but click action still works.
2- In menu bar, the selection doesn't get highlighted when I move the pointer over the menu.
3- For Dock (in auto-hide mode), the Dock doesn't pop up automatically if I move the pointer to the bottom of the screen. I have to click somewhere in the bottom to bring up the Dock, but the icons don't get magnified when I place pointer over them.
Any idea what the problem is and how to fix that?
Thanks for the help, guys.

Fewer problems with Leopard if bought on new iMac rather than upgrade?

I bought a new iMac (my 1st Mac ever) just before Leopard came out, so I have Tiger 10.4.11 now and love it. I've had no problems whatsoever and really don't plan on upgrading to Leopard because of all the problems I keep reading about. My brother is thinking about buying an iMac but hesitates because he's heard so many problems about Leopard. Question for you guys - do the Leopard problems seem more common if you've done an upgrade from Tiger, or are the problems just as common if you buy a new iMac with Leopard installed? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your choice - BUT remember that Millions of people have upgraded with NO problems - you only read about the very few who do have problems. Leopard is a great OS and IF you upgrade carefully (repair your disk, fix permissions, backup and have a bootable clone in case of problems) you are very unlikely to have problems and it is EASY to go back to your clone in the unlikely case that you do have any problem.

This is a "how long ago did yo stop beating your wife question" - Problems are VERY uncommon in either case. With new systems they are highly unlikely since there is no previous damage to the system and NO incompatible third party software on the system - but problems are extremely uncommon in either case
He should move ahead with his purchase IMHO.

Problems reinstalling Leopard on Macbook

Just recently, I've had some serious problems installing Leopard back onto my Macbook. About 4 days ago, I decided to use boot camp to try Windows XP on my Macbook. It all went smooth as I was trying out Windows XP, but I soon found out that I had some serious problems. Boot camp had written over my version of Leopard. When I held down the option key, all I saw was Windows. Of course I thought this could be easily remedied by using my Install disks 1 and 2 but for some reason, neither disks were recognized when I put them in. At one point disk 1 was recognized but it took about twenty minutes to actually get to the install screen. Once there I tried to erase or wipe the Harddrive as it says to do in the apple instructions. So I went ahead and erased it. This was probably a bad choice seeing as halfway through the first install disk, the installation failed. I had just erased my harddrive and now I cannot even get into Windows! Now I cannot get my Macbook to recognize either disk and both disks are spit out after about 5 times of the disk starting itself back up and trying to recognize it multiple times. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
You've either got a bad disc or a bad drive. Both happen on occasion.
Do you have access to another Mac? If so, try the disc in it (of course, don't actually do anything, just see if it's readable).
If the disc is bad, and you're near an Apple store, you might be able to get a Genius to install from a disc of theirs, but either way, you need to get a replacement. Depending on how old your Mac is, there may or may not be a small charge.
If the drive is bad, it's covered for a year. If you've got AppleCare, it's even longer.

Problem with Leopard on a Macbook pro

I'm posting this for my fiance as it's his computer that's acting up and he can't get here himself. The problem goes as this: He went to boot up his macbook pro, which is running leopard and also has windows installed. When he tried to boot up into the Leopard side, it started normally, got to the grey screen, the swirly goes away, it starts to go to the login, but login never loads, it just goes black. Also, the keyboard lights are not on, but if he hits capslock, the key lights up. He's able to boot up into the windows side with no problem aside from the as-yet-unworking internet connection. Any idea what may have happened or how to fix it?

Make sure all these updaters are installed: find at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ although he should have installed these updaters before installing any other major software.
MBP EFI updater 1.4 fixes issues with bootcamp
MBP software update 1.0
MBP software update 1.1 fixes responsiveness and keyboard
MBP software update 1.2

Could these (MacBook Pro) keyboard/trackpad problems be Leopard related?

My (MacBook Pro's) keyboard and trackpad stop working every couple of minutes. And then suddenly comes back. The capslock key and it's LED is also not responding anymore when it happens.
Could this be a software thing? I'm about to send this MacBook Pro back and get a replacement, but that would be kind of pointless if this is a software problem caused by Leopard.
Anyone in the same situation?
S.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11, and mine started out having the exact same problems:
First, the keyboard took 2-3 minutes to be recognized after waking from sleep. Then, a few days later, the keyboard and trackpad would quit unexpectedly during use, took a few minutes to start working again. Then it went off a cliff from there. For the past 5 days, my keyboard and trackpad are not working whatsoever, I've tried all of the suggestions I can find online, nothing works. From the moment I startup, to the moment I shut down (thankfully I have a wireless Mighty Mouse) neither of them are recognized. I've had it on for 8 hours straight and it still didn't recognize the keyboard or trackpad. They don't show up in the system profiler under the USB section, and on top of that the on screen keyboard only types in lowercase, nothing happens when I hit the shift or Caps Lock key on the on screen keyboard.
I called Apple 4 days ago, they said that this is a priority issue and hope to have a fix out within a couple of weeks...yes...a couple of weeks, they said that they had the fix, and were just waiting on patents to go through (you have to be kidding me right?). Their temporary "fix" is to buy an external keyboard and mouse.
This is not by any means a Leopard only issue, and you can trace posts about this online all the way back to October 1, 2007, well before Leopard was released to the public.
The crazy thing is, if you look at this and don't assume it was caused by Apple, this bug behaves exactly like a virus, and a very well written one at that.

Performance problems with Leopard 10.5.1

Hello,
I use an iMac 24 Alu 2,8Ghz and upgraded to Leopard. There are some major performance problems and bugs in the recent version of Leopard:
1. While accessing USB devices, the display speed, windows moving, animations etc. slow down
2. Adobe CS3 Photoshop 10.01 and Flash CS3 are sometimes extremly slow. I tried the recent demo packages from Adobe:
2.1. The Photoshop dialogue "save for web" slows down the system completly, and this problem stays when quitting Photoshop. A restart is neccessary then.
2.2. Flash CS3 movie preview is very slow and stuttering. It's so slow you cannot imagine how the real movie flow will be.
2.3. Recent Flash Player 9,0,115,0 with hardware acceleration enabled doesn't really work with QuartzGL enabled Leopard: The movies slow down a lot. Try www.neave.tv for example.
3. Safari, Mail and other bundled software hang sometimes. You have to force quit them then. It doesn't matter whether QuartzGL is enabled or not. This especially happens to my system if it is online for some hours.
4. A lot of Apple applications doesn't seem to work with 2dextreme enabled. Why this? Apple supporters told me in Leopard there will be a much better 2dextreme support. Also Quartz2dExtreme in OSX 10.4 worked with all applications and i guess it's the same feature like "QuartzGL" in Leopard. So Leopard isn't finished here. It would be nice if Apple could make it's own software QuartzGL compatible.
5. Very often the desktop slows down or lags. This is the main reason I often still witch to Windows XP PC to do work in a faster, less annoying way.
6. Safari crashes randomly sometimes. It is unstable still. Also it crashes more often if you resize/move the window a lot, so I guess it is a graphics extension-related problem.
I hope you people from Apple will fix these annoying points and optimize your new system in the next update release.
Best regards

Thanks for you answer. I repaired in the way as described above. There were some errors, some file index was wrong (don't remember exactly the phrase), now the DU reports the partition was successfully repaired / the volume appears to be ok.
The crashes in Safari are gone, but all other described problems still exist. Adobe CS3 is not really usable for me.
By the way, in iMacSoftwareUpdate 1.3, which was replaced by OSX 10.5.1 update, there is one extension called AppleVADriver.kext that does not exist in the OSX 10.5.1 update. Is it an important extension?

Multiple problems on G5 that equal on big problem(usb,leopard,Blue screen)

I have a dual 2.5 I've had for years no problems I couldnt fix...
Recently I fryed the usb ports it's wierd my treo works on the but nothing else. So I buy a usb card..... Only problem is the card powers on after mac starts so no reseting pram starting in safe mode or any of the fun things I enjoy.... Now I install leopard.... and bam the unsanity ape(i've been researchin on google) freezes my computer.... And there's not I thing I could do...
Any ideas or help, Someone please
J

As far as I can see, resetting the power manager on this model of iMac involves resetting the SMC, which is unplugging all cables for 15 seconds, plugging back in and powering up. Tried that too, same result. In terms of third party software, nothing. Clean Leopard install is the lot.

HP LaserJet 1000 problem after Leopard install

Anyone else have a problem printing after the Leopard install?
My printer and driver was recognized but I can't print. When I watch the print queue it say there are errors and fails.
Since HP never made a driver for this printer, I was using a Zenographics driver that worked great. That is, until I upgraded.
I unplugged the USB and power cords, and removed the printer from System Preferences. After plugging everything back in and adding the printer again, the printer seemed like it wanted to print, but still didn't work.
Please help.

Thank you for your answers. I was hoping someone would reply.
HP LJ 1000 is a great printer and I figured a few people had to have one. It is unfortunate as this printer hardly ever needed the toner changed, and I used it as my main printer. I swear I only changed toner four times in the last five years!
I looked everywhere for a driver and found nothing. HP said they had no updated driver for the Mac (as they told me a year ago, too) and they were not going to create one.
My final solution was to give up my printer to a good neighbor for $50 for her pc.
I researched printers from the Apple store and decided to go with the very Mac friendly HP Laserjet 1022:
http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCustom.woa/94340 03/wa/PSLID?mco=CC919B84&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/printers&nplm=TC976LL/A&wosid=gG2dihO9R0Mg29v6f901bEeWNf2
Hopefully it will be a good printer. After returning the new toner I bought for the LJ1000, I thought Staples would have it in stock. However, after trying three different stores, it seems the best way to get a Mac-friendly printer is to go online.
I hope I helped you out as well.
Again, thank you.

Problem restoring Leopard system from Time Machine OS 10.4.7 disk

My Imac is currently running leopard 10.5.8, but my install disks are 10.4.7. I am trying to restore to a backup on my time machine from 4 days ago (prior to a storm that seems to have corrupted my network system, erasing all information of a wireless network setup within my home), I have time machine running on an external hard drive and have the typical daily backups showing.
I followed the directions in the Apple files - brought up Disk 1 of my installation disks, selected Restore and followed the directions on the screen. However, all I can get to is the Finder list of folders and files on the Time Machine drive. I can highlight the folder for the backup file from the day I want to restore from, but the system will not "select" it for me to restore (in fact, that button remains grayed out). If I click on it, the machine just pulls up a list of all the individual files within the folder, but will not allow me to select either the folder OR any of the files to restore.
I bought this system used - it had already been upgraded to 10.5.8. What am I missing?
Other info: running a Linksys wireless network from a CenturyLInk provider. Secondary problem: I have forgotten my login keychain password (haven't used it since I bought the system 4 years ago). It is not documented elsewhere. Is there a way to reset it without using the old password?

reading similar posts I should add that I never changed the case insensitivity of my fs, so I doubt that could be the problem.

A few problems with Leopard running on my White iMac...

I have only found 2 problems so far with Leopard running on my iMac. First off, the most annoying one:
Sometimes, especially when switching users, the screen turns to the "gray screen of death." You know, the one with the request to restart your computer in like 4 languages and a huge picture of a power button... anyway, it is getting quite annoying and I wish I could make it stop. It has also happened when I have been dealing with moving large amounts of data, "large pictures, movies, etc.)
And now, the second problem. I was just looking up the memory left on my hard drive when I noticed something I hadn't before. my 160gb hard drive had 50gb left. not too strange there. but when I checked through all the things (apps, users, system, library, developer, etc.) in it (I simply did apple-i and checked the gb each of them took up) and after a quick add-up on my calculator widget, all the things in the hard drive added up to 50gb. so I have 50gb free, 50gb used and a 160gb hard drive. How does that work? Do I need to do something to get that extra 60gb back or is it just gone???

Good advice. IMO, the 'du' (disk usage) command is safe, because it's

You can run the same command without the 'sudo' prefix. It might
