Support for Leopard 10.5.8

Good day to you, I was wondering why you have decided to opt out from the 10.5.X support of Leopard OS? It is still widely spread and I believe that this call has caused....many potential security problems.

A couple of years late to the party, aren't we?

HT1338 Lack of Support for Leopard users

Has Apple abandoned all Leopard users? I cannot get updated plug-ins for Safari and Firefox, therefore cannot access some internet sites. Seems Apple wants us to purchase Intel-based computers or be relegated to the trash can. I'd rather shift to PCs (after over 20 years with Apple) than submit to this extortion.

The last PowerPC Macs were made around 2005'ish (7 years ago when I got my PowerMac G5). I would not call that so much planned obsolesence. Rather more that PowerPC Macs ARE Obsolete!
And if you decide to switch to Windows, you will still be buying an intel chip, so intel wins either way (well I guess you could get an AMD chip, but it is still the intel instuction set).
Yes your PowerPC still works, and it can most likely continue to provide good service running Leopard, but just as my old car did not integrate with my iPod, it did not have hands free bluetooth phone integration, it did not have heated seats, etc..., your old PowerPC Mac is not going to support all the new computer tech features. Eventually you will need to replace it, and when you do, you get the current set of features from whatever Computer/OS vendor you choose to buy.

Adobe PDF on Application Support for Leopard

All,
Just came across this... LR on the list of "needing an update" so expect errors. The Photoshop forum is indicating errors on CS3 as well. Guess I'm holding off on the install for a little bit. Some of this to be expected I suppose, but hopefully fixed soon.

What is Apple's policy on providing phone support for Leopard

I've used every Apple operating system since day one (of Apple) and have never had as many issues, especially wireless connection issues, as I have had with Leopard. I would like to call Apple and talk to their phone support folks but I would find it very frustrating to have to pay money for phone support when I've already shelled out $129 for an operating system that is clearly problematic. What is Apple's policy on providing operating system phone support??? thanks... bob...

Does A2DP support in leopard mean A2DP driver for Vista on MBP?

Would love to have A2DP bluetooth support for my MBP, and I know it's coming next month. Also next month in leopard is the official release of Boot camp and therefore I should imagine a full bunch of windows drivers for the MBP. My question is, if they are bunging A2DP support into leopard do you think the bluetooth drivers written for windows will also include it? I mainly run Vista on my MBP (not out of choice, but you try getting Visual Studio to run on OSX).

Belkin has no Leopard support for its UPS

For those who are contemplating a Belkin UPS as protection for their iMacs, I purchased the F6C900-UNV after being told by the Belkin support personnel that it supports all MAC operating systems. After the purchase, and seemingly strange behavior by the unit, I spoke to several representatives of Belkin only to find out that NO, it does not support Leopard OS. Looking at their website, they support only earlier versions of the MAC OS. They have said that they will have the support sometime in the future, but could not give any answer as to an estimated date.

Thanks for everyones help. I just spent about an hour with the AppleCare tech going through many scenarios with this.
1) I deleted all of the software and just plugged in the UPS. The UPS tab did not show up in the Energy Saver. But more important, opening the Apple menu/About This Mac/More info.... and clicking on the Power option, it showed: "UPS Installed: No".
2) The same thing as above occurred when I installed the UPS software. With the software installed, I could activate the "Agent" portion of the software program and the Monitor showed that the UPS was installed with the appropriate Load and everything looked as though it should when there is a connection between the Mac and the UPS.
The Apple tech felt that the UPS with the Belkin software installed showed that the UPS was connected to the UPS. He said that the Mac may not be recognizing this particular UPS model since the upgrade for Leopard OS is not available yet from Belkin. This may be the reason that they feel the need to upgrade to another version. He did not feel that there was anything intrinsically wrong with the UPS hardware. Based on my recent contacts with Belkin, they would probably not accept a return based on the fact that it will still protect the Mac, but without the Automatic Power Software Management until their upgrade for Leopard is available.
I was wondering if there is any other suggestion that anyone might have as to any type of configuration or any overlooked condition that I might try on the Mac to bring back the ability to see the UPS in the Energy Saver?
I would feel more comfortable if the UPS was recognized by the MAC so that any configuration would assure me of correct output information.

Support for iCloud under Snow Leopard

Will there be support for iCloud

It's working for me syncing both ways between iphone iOS 5.1 and OSX 10.6.8 / iCal 4.0.4

IWork-Snow Leopard support for Greek spell checking?

Hello.
Will there ever be support for greek spelling?
Is there an unofficial way to have spelling?
I have tried Aspell but its a bit useless..
thank you.

Will there ever be support for greek spelling?
Nobody can answer that, Apple never provides such info in advance.
I have tried Aspell but its a bit useless..
Have you tried the one at this site?

You put the .dic and .aff files in Home/Library/Spelling.

Exchange support for categories in iCal?

Just upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, and immediately went about configuring it for use with my office's Exchange server. It works for the most part, but it seems that iCal does not support categories in the Exchange calendar. I rely on categories to set the status of my office appointments.
I've checked the preferences for iCal, and cannot find any setting for support for categories. Is it safe to assume that I should send an e-mail to [email protected] and request this as an option in a future build? This feature is supported in Entourage EWS.

I'm the same boat. I use categories extensively in Mail, Contacts, and Calendar in Outlook and I was really hoping Apple would sync those over.
Setting up different Calendars is one way, but those will not sync to Exchange and accordingly not to my Blackberry.

How can I keep my MacBook safe is Apple is no longer supporting Snow Leopard? My MacBook was purchased in 2006 and cannot be upgraded to the newer operating systems.

I have a MacBook which I purchased in 2006. It cannot upgrade to newer operating systems.Since Apple has stopped support to Snow Leopard, how can I keep my MacBook safe? Buying another computer is not an option. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.

Apple still sell, and therefore support, Snow Leopard.
For what it's worth, from my reading of the Snow Leopard EULA (and I would assume that there is similar language in the EULAs for all other operating systems, as well), I'm not seeing any obligation on the part of Apple to provide Security Updates of any kind, period/full stop. The wording appears to be completely "use at your own risk." I have no idea whether this "use at your own risk" would survive a legal challenge, or if such a legal challenge would depend on whether or not Apple is still selling (or even giving away for free) an OS, or whether local law would, according to this, override the EULA. Perhaps this is why Apple never formally announces EOL or discontinuance of support for an OS. They can always claim that they are still supporting an OS, whether or not in any practical sense, they are. There was even a very late Flashback detection and removal script which Apple issued for 10.5 well after it was clear that they had stopped supporting Leopard. This hardly constituted ongoing support, but perhaps it was to deter the threat of legal action, or maybe it was simply out of benevolence. I don't know.
Besides that, even when Apple was still actively "supporting" Snow Leopard, which I don't think it is any longer, "use at your own risk" would still have applied to a case where Apple may have been late with a patch, or a response, or an adequate response, to a zero-day threat, such as Flashback was, which was constantly evolving. Many thousands were affected by that, and, to my knowledge, at least, there was no legal action directed at Apple throughout or after that episode. If there was any, I don't think it succeeded.

Camera RAW image support for Pentax K100D

Hi,
Firstly, let me just say I have a MacBook Pro which came preloaded with Tiger. A month or so ago I upgraded to Leopard and I have applied all the available Apple software update.
I recently got a Pentax K100D digital SLR camera capable of taking images in RAW format (the pentax saves these with a .PEF file extension) and I have been trying to view these images in Leopard. I read the article below, which says that Leopard provides system-level support for the Pentax K100D camera RAW format.
*Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
Now, my problem is that I cannot seem to be able to open the .PEF files with neither Quick Look, Preview, iPhoto or Aperture. Basically, none of these programs seem to be able to display my .PEF files. Aperture says 'unsupported image format'.
I have installed the software that came with my Pentax (i.e. Pentax Photo Browser and Pentax Photo Laboratory) and these applications can display the .PEF images just fine. For what it's worth, I installed this software before I upgraded to Leopard.
If I right-click on a .PEF file in Finder, the only programs listed in the Open context menu are the above two Pentax applications.
So, what am I missing? Clearly something seems to be screwy in my Leopard set up. Is there some way to 'repair' the RAW image support in Leopard??
I would appreciate any help in fixing this as I would really like to start working with RAW images in Aperture and iPhoto.
Finally, just be aware that I am not an experienced Mac user. I have always used Windows until now and so... if you have a fix for this I would really appreciate a slightly more elaborate response.
Thanks in advance,
Eddie

I have done a little more research on this...
As it turns out, my camera is a Pentax K100D Super - not a K100D. The K100D Super is not listed as one of the supported camera RAW formats in the aforementioned article. So I guess this means that my camera is as yet unsupported. Sigh...

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

@Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

The version of iOS on does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK

Getting this error message as of this morning: The version of iOS on “iPad” does not match any of the versions of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or update to the latest version of the iOS SDK. I've downloaded the latest SDK and gone through the usual turn off and turn on again for iPad and computer, removed and reinstalled the iPad from Organizer and have no idea how to make apps build now. I was prompted to update the iphone too but there's no way I'm updating it if this issue can't be resolved.

Okay these are the steps I took to solve the problem - they may not be the right ones for you but they've solved the problem and saved time hunting for some other solution. Firstly I changed my MAC system to Lion with the £20 download, then I deleted the old Xcode and installed the new version that is app based and doesn't support Snow Leopard, then all was well. I can now update my xcode via the app which is quicker and more logical and can update my iPhone rather than chug along avoiding updates as I need to update my existing apps on the app store and upload a new one.

Airport Utility 6.0.0 breaks support for my Airport Express

Computer updated to Airport Utility 6.0 but that breaks support for my Airport Express. When I try to access the Airport Express it tells me I have to download Airport Utility 5.6 - but I can't find that anywhere on the Apple sites to download!

My catch-all list of Airport 6.0 & Firmware 7.6.1 problems:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've compiled a catch-all list of problems and changes with Airport Utility version 6.0 and FW 7.6.1. Some of the items may be relevant to this thread.
THE PROBLEMS WITH AIRPORT UTILITY 6 AND FIRMWARE 7.6.1:
Introduction: If you find AirPort Utility v6.0 too limiting or strange, you can ALSO install AirPort Utility v5.6, released alongside v6.0, to maintain all your previous capabilities. It works fine with both Airport g and n devices.
PLEASE NOTE: According to Apple you must FIRST install Airport Utility v6.0 in order to access and install Firmware upgrade 7.6.1. Do that first. THEN install Airport Utility v5.6 and use it instead if you prefer. HOWEVER: Another user has informed me that they were able to use Airport Utility v5.6 to install Firmware v7.6.1 without any problems! This would mean anyone can avoid Airport Utility 6.0 entirely if they chose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) According to Apple's documentation, Airport Utility version 6.0 is ONLY for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. It is NOT for 10.6 Snow Leopard. If you accidentally installed v6, you'll have to dig around in Apple - Support - Downloads for the previous relevant version for your devices and OS version. Here is the relevant page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1483
2) The HELP for Airport Utility has been updated. When you first access it you may well be looking at the old Help. It is supposed to update itself spontaneously over the Internet. It took a couple minutes in my case. Be sure you are looking at the NEW Help before you start using it. One way to tell is that the list of help topics essentially doubles from what there used to be. Also, the very first topic in the NEW Help should read:
"Set up an AirPort device > Set up a new AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule"
3) The HELP has some WRONG information. Here we go:
3a) There is NO "Enable Guest Network" setting. You CANNOT create a guest network or name it or give it any settings. Why this is still listed in Help, I have no idea. Why the setting is gone: This is most likely because the technology behind guest networks, WPS, has been thoroughly CRACKED in the wild. Google "WPS cracked" for lots of documentation of the situation. It won't be resolved soon.
3b) I can't find any 'Setup Assistant". Everything is now manual. This is not to say that there isn't a setup assistant that appears when you FIRST set up your Airport device. I don't know.
4) After installing Airport Utility v6.0, there is no indication of the accompanying firmware update until you decide to run the new version. Even then, you have to click on the big icon of your Airport device and notice an 'Update' button about halfway down the popup window. You then have to assume that this button is telling you to update your firmware.
5) After you update your Airport device's firmware, you may well discover an ERROR subwindow popping up inside Airport Utility that says:
"An error occurred while updating the firmware. -6721"
Don't panic! All you need to do is go into your Wi-Fi settings, either in your menubar or the Network preferences, and turn OFF Wi-Fi, then turn ON Wi-Fi again. This is part of a long standing bug in Lion's Wi-Fi with which I bet you are already familiar, certainly up through Lion version 10.7.2.
6) Miscellaneous changes in Airport Utility 6:
6a) The keyboard command to manually change your Airport devices settings is GONE. You have to click the little 'Edit' button after clicking on the big icon for your device.
6b) There is no longer any summary window for your Airport device. You have to instead click on the big "Internet" icon for related data, then click on the big icon for your Airport device for local settings data.
6c) There is no longer any HELP advising users to EXPORT their settings. (The Help only talks about Import of settings). BE SURE TO EXPORT YOUR NEW SETTINGS! I did this immediately after both updates.
6d) MAC address filtering for Airport devices is GONE.
6e) All references to IPV6 anywhere are GONE. I have to assume the IPV6 settings are now entirely working and entirely automatic. Let's hope so.
6f) Signal and Noise data and graphs are GONE. Use Apple's Wi-Fi Diagnostics app instead. Apple have hidden it here in Lion:
/System/Library/CoreServices/W-Fi Diagnostics
6g) In order to access the menu items in Airport Utility, you have to first click on the big icon for your Airport device.
--> No doubt there are other changes, oddities or bugs related to these changes. But this is what I came up with during a cursory strafing of the software.

IPhoto 9.3 doesn't support Snow Leopard??

I'm shocked but it seems that iPhoto 9.3 discontinues support for Snow Leopard!
Why does Apple seem to want to kill the best OS version they made?
Aperture 3.3 is like this too!
