So is it any good then? This Leopard thingy?

Having come straight to Mac "Tiger" from Windoze just over two years ago, I have never upgraded the OS. Knowing the problems Microshaft had with every new Windoze OS Incarnation I am wondering whether early adoption of Leopard is a good or bad idea, or would it be better to wait a while for any bugs to be ironed out.
Any advice welcomed

I have 2 machines using Leopard and have to say it has been great. I upgraded one machine from Tiger and had a few small issues that were fixable. They were due to permissions and caches. The second system was a brand new one on the intel platform and it is smokin on it. 10.5.1 has fixed some issues and I am sure they are hard at work at 10.5.2.
I would also make sure the main apps you use are Leopard compatible. I am not saying they won't work with it but there could be chance that either it won't work or you would have strange behavior.
Just make sure if you use third party apps in the startup or add-ons they are moved before upgrading. Also make sure you have a good backup or 2. If you have that and the main apps you use are Leopard compatible then there isn't a reason not to upgrade.

Z1 Compact, Any good for this phone?

I'll copy here the email sended to Sony. I'm very sorry Sony, if I forgot to detail another problem.
Here is the email.
Z1 Compact: The greatest piece of SH*T in the planet! where to begin?
1- The vibration on the phone stops RANDOMLY in certain positions.
2- The sound doesn't comes from the speaker, just from the ear speakers.
3- The photo quality, MY GOD!! A kid from kinder garden creates the algorithm from the camera??? WHAT A BAD COMPRESION!! I've never seen any worst picture quality in other camera than Sony!! (not only the phones, even the Point and Shoot cameras, EVEN the mirrorles Camera like NEX series.. Not happy? EVEN YOUR HIGH ENDS FULL FRAMES ALPHA CAMERAS!! C'MON!! What's the problem with the noise and overall quality??? I can't believe that Samsung and other brands uses the same sensor image, YOUR OWN SENSOR and your quality is SO D*MN BAD!! Just fire all your image engineers, they are comploting again Sony, take note from Canon's engineers, with a 1/2,3 sensor image, they made magnific pictures even with their SX series cameras!!
But all of this are just MINOR problems compared with my main problem.
When I charge the phone, I CAN'T TURN OFF THE SCREEN, when i try to turn it off, it automatically turns on again, until the battery charges at 100%.. when the battery is at 100% the screen automatically turns off AND NEVER turns on again.. i can receive calls (but cannot answer) can even connect the phone to the PC, and it's recognized for the PC Companion, but the screen is completely off... I cannot even "turn it on", I must open the SIM storage and press the Red button to turn off the phone, and after that turn it on again with the ON/OFF button to make it "revive". Yes, this is not a random problem, I have to do this EVERY MORNING AFTER CHARGING MY PHONE.
Thank you very much Sony, you win the Record Guinness of the WORST PHONE IN THE WORLD.
P.S: I forgot to mention, the camera sometimes crashes and have an error message when I try to open the Camera APP.
P.S 2: My phone it's not an isolate phone, i've reading in the Sony's forum, and people from all over the world have the same problems.
P.S 3: I've Android 4.4.2 (And sorry if my english is not the best, at least i bet it's better than your picture algorithm)

Sorry for post again... This is for the people of Sony... All the things that I said before.. it's with NO offense, (i feel ofended for paying more than 500$ for something that doesn't work).
This is an ALERT message for Sony, OPEN YOUR EYES!! YOU HAVE GOLD IN YOUR HAND AND YOU ARE WASTING IT.
I'm a Sony lover, and all the things that i said, is directly for the Sony's people, to make better product, I've Sony's phone for YEARS!! K300, W810, K850, some digital cameras W series... Now a high end phone like the Z1 Compact, and i'm dissapointed to see how Sony was a great brand, and now are producing a VERY bad quality products, any chinese unbranded digital camera or generic phone can produce better products.. I don't think that you are unknown about what i'm trying to say with the "algorithm of the picture".. I'm looking in google, and just comparing.
Look at this picture taken with a Sony HX50 Digital camera.. IF YOU CAN SEE AT LEAST 1 HAIR OF THIS DOG, I'LL DONATE 1 BILLION DOLLARS FOR SONY, because all that I can see is a picture like a "plastic dog", and this picture is taken JUST WITH ISO 320 IN A SUNNY DAY http://www.magezinepublishing.com/equipment/images/equipment/Cybershot-HX50-5162/highres/sony-cybers...
Compare with this picture from the direct competition Canon SX280 with ISO 400.
http://www.magezinepublishing.com/equipment/images/equipment/PowerShot-SX280-HS-5143/highres/Canon-P...
Be honest and tell me where you can see more details, in the dog, or in the bird??
Someone just can say "IF YOU DON'T LIKE SONY, JUST BUY A CANON CAMERA", but that's the reason because i'm writing all this.. BECAUSE I LOVE THE SONY PRODUCTS, AND I WANT TO BUY SOMETHING WITH QUALITY FROM SONY!
C'mon guys! You can do it much better!
The picture quality improvement is a MUST DO for Sony, I don't care if your cameras have 2, 20 or 100 megapixels. My old phone Sony W810 with 2 mpx can take better pictures than this piece of garbage that you are trying to sell right now.
But the problems with the vibrations, the sound from the ear speakers, my screen and my whole USELESS phone IS UNFORGIVABLE.
Take note and DISMISS YOUR WHOLE BIONZ DEPARTMENT (If they are doing your image processions). And for the next time, do 10.000 tests before launching a phone with all those physical and softwares problems. You have the same problem with the launching of the PS3, and now with the PS4.
C'mon Sony! I love your products, I'm a Sony buyer for more than 10 years, but you're disappointing to all your loyal customers with all this.
If the moderator who read this message cares about Sony, please REPLY this message to the head of Sony. Just search in google what the people says about Sony's picture quality! Open your eyes if you don't want to fall. Today you are losing a LOYAL customer, tomorrow you can lose thousands.

Hi Apple! I am having a few problems with my 6 month old iPad mini (ios 7.1.1). I am using my iPad and then some time later it just restars! Don't know why and it just keeps doing it! Please fix or if I restore my iPad will it do any good? Thank you

Plug your iPad into your computer, open iTunes, and click Restore. This will reset your iPad to factory settings, so make sure everything important is stored safely. Once the restore is complete, do NOT restore from your backup.
If you still have problems, take the iPad to the Apple Store or another AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider). If you're still within warranty, any service will be of no cost. Check your serial number here or find your receipt.
Hope I've helped!
PS: This is a peer-to-peer forum. Apple generally doesn't pay attention here.

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point. The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge. The initial green light shows a good charge. The red light means the battery is drained.
Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds. Then, turn it back ON. This resets the shuffle. Does it play again? If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again. Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays. Then, connect it to power and charge it to full. See if that makes any difference.
If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery. If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.
If you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

My wifi goes down at least once a day and I have to unplug the time capsule and reboot it and then it works fine. Any idea why this is happening/what I can do to fix it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

This problem has been reported a few times. The solution is to install any new App say a free one. This seems to fix whatever has gone wrong.

When i tap "update" on an app, or try and download a new app i get the loading wheel for around a second then it goes back to showing "update" and does nothing. Any solutions for this?

If you're really running iOS 8, you should be posting in the Developer's Forum, as you well know since you signed an NDA when you signed up for the Developer's program.

Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.

How are you creating the file, exactly?
And if you don't manage to solve it you can use this free tool I've developed to reverse the page order in Acrobat with a single click:

Hello Pllumb,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on Wi-Fi because the option is grayed out in Settings. Use these steps from the following article named:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
