The day that Leopard launched I had to run out at 6pm to get my hands on a copy. For those who haven’t upated, it’s probably not a bad idea to wait for them to work out the kinks. I had some issues because:
1. I recently replaced my 80g drive with a 120g, and it wasn’t partitioned correctly for Leopard. Since I didn’t have the patience to image my machine, I ended up doing a clean install. There went iLife.
2. After the clean install, the ops guy tried to install ilife 08, and it failed with a mysterious and completely unhelpful error. Thanks, apple. On a macbook pro, with a legit version of leopard, I can’t install a legit copy of ilife? Oh well, imovie 08 sucks anyway. Good thing I have a mac mini so I could use imovie 06 for a few videos.
3. Leopard broke flash upload. This made it really hard to upload to Jumpcut and Flickr. Fortunately, Adobe has since released an update (it’s in beta right now).
A few days after the clean install, the ops dude copied the image he still had from the hard drive replacement. I then installed Leopard again with no problems. Yay! Last step is to install ilife 08, just so I can try it.
You are a lifesaver!
The flash thing was confusing me quite a lot
Weird, I had no problem installing iLife08 on a fresh Leopard install. I blame them gamma rays.
Cool video Karen
@Andrew* glad I could help. We wouldn’t want you to stop posting photos to flickr
Hopefully it’ll work without a hitch the next time I try it
@Jeremy I blame it on society
@mager thanks!
