What's up w/ fcp6 & leopard?

my fcp 6.,01, qt 7.2.1 run on leopard intel mac couldn't capture at all. It freezes after few seconds of capturing. previously I had fcp 6.0.2 and qt 7.3 & 7.3.1 & it didn't work I thought it was the qt issue but now w/ qt 7.2.1 it still not working. Please help.
NOW, if all is bad, should I run it under TIGER instead of Leopard?
Why I can't capture? I have 2TB of Raid Esata from promax & it works fine with fcp 5.1.4 in Tiger
thanks
JP

What we need to know is, what are you trying to capture from? Deck, camera and what codec?
Also, when you say it won't capture at all, do you mean the Log & Capture window does not become active or it doesn't respond when trying to capture?
Are you attempting a "capture now", batch or using clip capture?

What's New in Snow Leopard (10.6)..?

Hello guys,
I am using OS Leopard 10.5. Can you plz tell me what's new in Snow Leopard..? Is necessary for me to buy it..?
Thanks in advance

There are also quite a few minor refinements besides the major ones mentioned in the Apple link Alan posted.
For instance, Disk Utility now does permissions repairs much more quickly than with Leopard & warns you in a popup box that the verify disk step may cause the OS to become slow to respond during that procedure.
The OS now supports automatic text substitution you set up in the newly renamed Language & Text system preference. This is a major time saver for me: I have set up simple three character substitutes for common phrases like "Disk Utility" & "Snow Leopard" that I use often in discussions posts, as well as ones to correct a few common typos so for example the OS automatically replaces "teh" that with "the."
Long overdue, the menu bar clock now supports displaying the date without hacks or add ons. The Airport menu item shows more info when you click or option-click it. Preview, Spotlight, & a few other apps have minor improvements.
It seems like every few days I discover or read about some new little refinement or tweak.

What do you think of Leopard?

A pretty standard question, I'm just wondering what you all think of Leopard so far, the install, the applications, the aftermath. Thanks

The install went well (upgrade option). Back up your stuff, unplug everything but the keyboard and mouse, run disk utilities and repair permissions and the disk, and check you 3rd party plug-ins for compatibility, some have caused problems upgrading.
As for the OS, everything seems to as fast if not faster than under Tiger. MS Word starts a little slower, I have not used the other office stuff yet. Iworks ‘08 applications
are all working fine and fast.
Mail is pretty good, but I have more to explore there. I had given up on MS and have been using Mail for a couple of weeks, still need to set up my gmail account in it though.
I have not used Time machine yet, my external HD is setting of to the side as my fall back. It is a clone of my tiger set up. I think I will be using it soon as the system is running very well and do not think I will need it.
I like the downloads going to the folder on the doc, does not work in Firefox those went to the desktop. Safari 3 has not give me any trouble and is just as stable as v2, however my University sight does not support Safari 3 so I had to use Firefox.
Ilife is running just as good under Leopard as it was under Tiger.
Stacks is fine, but kind of ***** if you have a large folder. With smaller folders though it is pretty slick. So that may be a hit or miss for you.
I have not used spaces, not use I will have a need as I kind of do one thing at a time. I do see where it would be very useful for those very productive types.
Over all an 8.5 (kind of moving to a 9 as I use it more).

What exactly is new in Leopard if I don't have an Intel based Mac?

I recently helped my father upgrade his iMac to Leopard. Everything went extreemly smooth and the new OS is up and running. While the machine is only a couple of years old, it is not running an Intel CPU. As I flip through the installation book and see all the cool new features of Leopard, many of them depend on an Intel CPU under the hood.
So besides a new wallpaper and Time Machine (which doesn't apply in my specific scenario), I'm having a hard time seeing a benefit to Leopard without an Intel CPU. Furthermore, my fater has decided not to upgrade to iLife 08, so he's still running iLife 06.
So what I was hoping for with this post, is for someone to help point out what cool new things exist in Leopard for those of us not running Intel CPU's.
Can anyone shed some light?
PS - "bug fixes," while important, don't count.

I'll try a few : G4 iBook here.
Time Machine you have already discounted.
Spaces if you like using virtual desktops,
Coverflow in Finder add QuickLook via the space bar and it's a winner.
Space bar toggles Quick Look on and off.
Command-Y works as well, and option-command-Y to jump to slideshow several selected files.
Stacks, 50/50
Right click on any window title-bar to get a path-popup. Can be used for navigation and also works in Safari.
Spotlight works even better and so does Finder with a better built in search.
TextEdit has had an under the hood upgrade.
Mail has Notes and Stationery templates.
Far more right click / ctrl click context menus which save time.
Improved speed running Numbers in iWork '08.
Apple puts it's own large 512p. icons on Pictures for CoverFlow ~ best to take off the small 128p. third party picture icons from Graphic Converter, PhotoShop, Toy Viewer etc. which look shocking in CoverFlow.
Loving Leopard, well worth the time & cost.

What Happens to Mail on Leopard After Move to iCloud?

Hi,
I just ran the Lion update on my MacBook Air, which I use mostly for traveling, and am thinking of activating iCloud. The MacBook I use at home, however, is a few years old and only runs Leopard ... what will happen to my Mail programme after I move to the cloud? Will mail still be delivered and show up without me having to visit the iCloud website?
I am hoping to buy a new iMac soon, so I don't want to upgrade from Leopard to Lion on my old MacBook.
Thanks a lot!
All the best,
Jana

Ok, so I just took the risk and moved to iCloud on my MacBook Air and the Mail programme on my old MacBook thankfully still seems to operate without any problems.

What games come with in Leopard ?

Hi,
Can anybody tell me what games come with Leopard and where are they kept please?
Thx George UK

Games are definitely one area where OS X comes up short. There's always the tile game widget that comes with dashboard (if you like that sort of thing). There are also some pretty good game widgets on the apple downloads site (including minesweeper, mastermind and even some simple arcade games).

I have installed Lion, but was wondering what happens to my Snow Leopard license now?

I'm guessin I still own the license. So what I want to do is install Snow Leopard on another computer (running Leopard), does anyone see a problem with this?
Oh, and the disc I have is from my MBP and I want to install it to an iMac, can this too be a problem? Please advise

As QuickTimeKirk indicated, the version of the OS that ships with a machine is a restore version specific to the model it ships with. If you try to install it on an iMac you will just get a message saying it can't be installed on that machine.
Your concept was correct however. If you had purchased and installed Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro... and then updated your MacBook Pro to Lion, you would then be able to install Snow Leopard on another machine. The problem here is that you are not working with a retail version of the OS.

With Lion, Wi-fi does not connect automatically; have to manually connect. What has changed from S. Leopard?

I have to manually select the network I've used for years. Connection eventuallly made. Snow Leopard never had a problem connecting to the network automatically.
Restarts have not solved the problem.
Looking for suggestions.
Thanks.
Bob

I found a new way !
go to Applications
click Utilities
click Keychain Access
1- click log in on left side
choose your wi-fi connections
click access control
and click allow all applications to accesss this item.
2- click system under login at left side
then do the same things that i wrote above
now it should works well..
I tried and it works ..
Let me know ..

Whats the deal to upgrade leopard server to snow leopard server?

HI
Does it need to be a clean install?, is there an upgrade assistant, i dont really want to install from scratch again, its just that because i have a recent xserve i qualify for the upgrade for only £7.95, which is great. Im just wondering if anyone else has done it yet.
Cheers

I upgraded over the top from 10.5.7 to 10.6.1 last night.
Xserve is new Nehalem (2.26GHz 8 Cores, 12GB RAM) Xraid attached.
Stopped all services except DNS
Cloned boot drive to spare via CCC, inserted DVD and restarted.
I updated the cloned spare disk, not my original.
Took about an hour, then restarted, once Window Manger came up, the installation post procedure kicked in and there was some trivial verbose in the bottom left hand side regarding updating services, with the normal big blue progress bar in the middle of the screen etc.
Applied 10.6.1 and others, restarted again.
Once done, I looked at all my services before starting them.
I run:
DNS
OpenDirectory
DHCP
MAIL
WEB + WEBDAV + WebMail (bout 6 site roots from memory)
AFP
SMB
MySQL
PostGreSQL
Retrospect
Other services I use are:
Joomla 1.5
Radmind
NetworkHomeDirectories
I lost my DHCP static assignments which I knew about from other people's posts.
DNS, DHCP, MySQL and OpenDirectoy came across fine.
MAIL
Mail presented me with a "wizard" walkthrough thingy, which all the settings were prefilled (assuming from the upgrade script) and so I essentially were passenger to clicking next next next... then Okay.
Did a quick Home directory login in and checked email.
I could email to myself (locally) fine, but realised after testing that I was not receiving any external mail.
Checking postmaster, I immediately had tonnes of postmaster email errors of "Postfix SMTP server: errors from <some.domain.name>... uh oh..
I grepped the mail.log for "warning" and saw smtp errors relating to zen.spamhaus.org.
I inspected my postconf settings compared to the default settings. (i.e. postconf -n versus postconf -d) to see just how the migration of my settings came across, etc.
I vi'd into my main.cf and searched for zen.
It seemed that my settings were rejecting everything from the outside world.
I removed zen.spamhaus.org and cleaned up cleaned up the mapsrbldomains entry to be just "mapsrbldomains ="
This fixed email for now, so I'll read up some more about what the settings should be and add zen.spanhaus.org back in later.
I also modified my main.cf settings to allow MS Outlook to access via imap.
apparently Outlook only sends the netbios name and not the fqdn of the client to imap servers.
Even configuring XP in the custom DNS section to include a DNS suffix, Outlook just ignored it and still sent the netbios name after it's HELO command.
I learnt the hard way that the only fix I found is a work around whereby one must modify there main.cf again:
Change:
smtpd_helorestrictions = rejectinvalidhostname rejectnon_fqdnhostname rejectinvalid_helohostname rejectnon_fqdn_helo_hostname
to:
smtpd_helorestrictions = rejectinvalid_hostname
WEB.
Well, nothing was happening here. Completely broken in every way as apache was trying to respawn after segfaulting every 10 seconds at loading the scgi_pubsub module.
Disabled that and the seqfaults stopped.
Didn't get far though as all my virtual sites were screwed.
As soon as I would start apache via ServerAdmin, all the logs within SA would vanish... (made me smile)
I ended up trashing all the migrated settings from within SA, as I had exported out a plist for web only.
All this did was re-enable the segfauts, so I deleted all the 0000domain_portip.conf files from /etc/apache/sites and started from scratch.
I knew Joomla needed to be patched to work with PHP 5.3 which I did before starting WEB service.
(used the test.zip file offered at joomla.org and applied it via command line using my good friend Matthias' (http://www.matthiasraab.com/blog/joomla-and-it/36-updating-many-joomla-sites-on- server-level.html) little unzip command. ( I did it manually though as I only have 3 Joomla 1.5.13 sites)
I vaguely remember installing Marc Linyange's PHP (5.2.x) on 10.5.7 Server to have the comple GD packages, so I went into the apache conf file and had to manually add Apple's new php mod back in, to get PHP back up. (joomla sites were downloading the php file, instead of rendering them, a dead giveaway that Apache knows nada about PHP)
After re-configuring all the sites, (while testing one at a time) my WEB was back up, and joomla seemed happy enough for my needs. (haven't gone looking for errors yet, as I'm sure they exist in the admin backend)
I haven't looked too much into webmail, but it works. Previously, I had a heap of extra plugins and vacation filters/scripts installed for my users. but I hear that's now possible via a wiki, so I'll be playing with that after hours.
I see now the default with my mail server is that you must have something in the subject line, (this gave me another mild heart attack when a user told me they couldn't send email)
EVERYTHING seems faster!
I use Network Home Directories for my own home directory (using 2009 Mac Mini with 10.6.1 also) and I've immediately seen improvements. Whether it's just a snappier 10.6 Finder, I'm not sure, but even my users are noticing it from NHD with 10.5.7 Server.
All in all. I'm very satisfied. This is the first time I've ever attempted to install over the top and I regard my result to be a great success. (I've done this sort of thing since 10.2 Server, and have always built up from vanilla installs, due to the nightmare stories I hear on these forums etc)
Started the cloning at 8pm, (only 100GB clone as most of our data is symlinked to our Xraid) and I put my head on my pillow at 3am.
Cheers,
Raoul.

WHAT HAPPENED TO "Airport Express - Leopard?!?!" Thread?

Did apple remove this thread? It had over 700 views and it seemed like lots and lots of people were experiencing this problem. I can't find it anywhere even if I was part of the thread. It doesn't appear in "My Posts" :o

I posted that thread, and yesterday I got this email:
"Your post was removed from Apple Discussions as it contained feedback or feature requests. These areas are intended to address technical issues about Apple products. Although your feedback is appreciated, unfortunately these forums are not designed for it and your thoughts/concerns will not get the attention they deserve."
Nice eh?
Anyways, best be careful about what we say as to not get booted off. I still can't get AX to work after the OSX update this morning.

Buying Desktop External HD / What IOmega Units Are S/Leopard Compatible?

I own an IMAC and have never set up Time Machine. I was going to buy a Time Capsule however my printer is already wireless so I so ne real advantage. What Iomega external hard drives are plug and play?

Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
Most drives come formatted for Windoze, but most of them can be re-formatted on your Mac to work with it. See item #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip.*
Also note item #1 there for size considerations; and items #3 and/or 4 for using with other data and/or other Macs.
If you think you ever might want to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive (some WDs aren't). Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB.
Depending on what ports you have, FireWire 800 is by far the fastest; FireWire 400 next, and USB slowest (F/W 400 and USB 2.0 are rated about the same, but since your Mac's CPU has to do more of the work with USB, actual throughput is usually less).
Many folks think USB is less reliable than FireWire. If you do get USB, be sure to connect it to a port on your Mac, not a keyboard (that may be only USB 1.0). Try to avoid hubs, too.
It's usually best to get a drive with it's own power supply, as taking power from your Mac can be a marginal proposition.
Take any advice for or against particular makes or models with a grain of salt: all makers (of just about anything) can have a "run" of bad components, or a relatively few early failures. Plus, by the time any really good trends are noted, the model has probably been revised or replaced anyway!

What's the best FCP6 easy setup for HD shot on Canon XHA1?

Hi, I'm sorry to ask such a novice question, but I want to make sure I'm starting correctly. Anyone have advice on the best easy setup to use for a project that will be predominantly footage shot in HD at 30P on the Canon XH-A1? It will also include a little bit of HD footage shot through a Canon 5D markii, but I think I understand how to bring those clips in later using log and transfer and the appropriate Canon EOS codec deal.
I'm just still not sure of the difference between HDV, DVCPRO HD, and all those other easy presets that are listed out...
thanks much!
-Sarah

I tried to search through other threads before posting my question, but I guess I didn't come across yours.
It was in response to your other question on the forums... So it was an answer directly to you.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2486111&tstart=0
As for your other question, that I also answered...use the camera if you want to shoot 30F or 24F, or shoot 60i and use the deck. Those are your choices. There is no deck that deals with Canon's F format...and they don't make decks. Silly stupid.

What to install first: Snow Leopard or FCP Studio 3 upgrade

Ok, I will be finishing a big video project soon and will finally be able to upgrade to Snow and FCP Studio 3. I was wondering would upon the order of those installations, and whether or not it mattered in terms of optimization of FCS's performance? So, being that Snow is a complete rewrite under the hood, would it be better to do that first then install FCS upgrade on top of that, or the reverse?
thanks

What is the best way to upgrade my OSX 10.4.11 to Leopard??

I want to use Mackeeper but my Mac, i assume is too old and needs an upgrade. Do I upgrade to Leopard and if so what the best way?
Thanks

as for upgrading, depends what model you have.
Leopard is indeed pricey; it was pricey when it first came out and many resellers now ask a premium for it.
Snow Leopard may be an option, at $29 it's not a bad bargain. However, you could have grief with printer and scanner drivers, and other software needing updates (Adobe for one) many of them not free.

What's up w/ fcp6 & leopard?
