Upgrading my wife's machine today, an Mac Al Tower with Dual-G5. So far, so good. Leopard is on. iLife 08 is installing. And then Adobe CS3.

I think you first select a specific file or files to restore. Then you can click the Restore button.

It's not apparent why that would be. People leave computers powered all day, thus leave their internal hard-drives powered long-term with no deterioration of the unit. Also, my wife's new Seagate external sleeps when her Mac sleeps. My drive, an internal drive plugged into a generic external...

Michael is exactly right about how SuperDuper differs from TimeMachine. I'll add a few more comments that I ignorantly left out earlier. Time Machine creates rolling backups of your data. It provides both a backup of your data and an easy way to recover files. If your hard drive crashes, you...

I'd go with Time Machine. It's already there in Leopard, ready to go. Plug in your USB drive and it will start up. I've not tried this, but I think that TM works with drives shared on a network. So I think you can also have your MacBook Pro use that hard-drive for Time Machine as well...

QuickLook plug-ins! http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/27/quick...d-zip-plugins/ Find the links for the Folder and ZIP plug-ins in the story. In the comments is a link to an EPS plug-in. I've got the EPS and Folder QuickLook plug-ins running and they are handy. I've added the ZIP plug-in as...

I noticed no overt changes after 10.5.1. The two main nuisances I've got now are: * with Time Machine turned on, my MBP no longer auto-sleeps. * Parallels isn't fully Leopard compatible, issuing an error every time it runs and crashing when I close it down. Fortunately, in the middle, it...

Good judo for getting Stack's icons to be useful. I'm using it and like it so far. Requires a bit of Terminal work, but it's easy.

Well, Leopard is bumming me out now. I've not had time to dig into the usful new additions yet (Time Machine), and I'm running into its glitches. My BootCamp partition gets dropped and can't be re-mounted without a reboot. Parallels isses an error everytime it's run. It still works, but...

iLife 08 is good. iWork 08 certainly is Office 2004 is good. Haven't tried the others in Leopard.

Ron, I sympathize with your underwhelming sense of Leopard -- and bummed to hear your MBP has Leopard problems. I understand Leopard is largely an "infrastructure" change, and the UI changes were mostly modest and in several cases wrong-headed. Despite the modest visual changes from Tiger, I...

Just installed Leopard; a trouble-free affair. Last night I used SuperDuper! to make a bootable copy of the hard drive and verified it was bootable. That in place, I was ready to go at this morning with the default Upgrade option. I did the default Leopard install (except for removing 1GB...

I don't know the link off hand, but a review noted that Leopard felt snappier with less memory than Tiger -- that is, 1GB did better with 10.5 than with 10.4, and even 512 MB was tolerable. But, there are so many quirks and variables, that your friend just might have the right configuration...

Can you expand on that?

My understanding is that you're not at risk if you're either running the current version of APE or you uninstall it before installing Leopard. My concern, though, is whether my Logitech MX Revolution is going to work at all in Leopard, as Logitech uses APE for its mouse drivers. Ah...

I went to the Apple store this evening -- a Genius Bar visit for a problem with my MBP -- and had some time to demo Leopard with my wife. Leopard has Sort By options for Column View!!! That merits a dancing banana: Lack of sort options in the Finder is a huge deficit in OS X. This modest...

Aaron, do you know if an iCal can be shared on a home network? If my wife and I could have a shared iCal calendar across our two machines, that might be really helpful in the DaveF household.
