Archmagination2002 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Which programs still work or are broken with Leopard? Can anyone tell me if these programs work okay with Leopard? Programs Firefox VLC Mplayer OSX Toast Titanium Ircle Simple Comic Adobe Photoshop CS2 Microsoft Office Those are the main ones that I have questions on. Oh almost forgot.. I heard that Leopard was unstable on G4 Macs.. is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexapple Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Has anyone tried Parallels 3.0 on Leopard? Does it work well? Archmagination2002, 39thRonin is Leopard stable enough to be your main OS? I am debating whether I should install it. My OS X 10.4.10 Intel Imac is solid rock stable, configured as I like and with all my Apps working perfectly. Currently I do not have $ to buy an external HD. I would hate to install and then find out that it is not stable and I have to re-install Tiger and all my Apps again. Should I take the plunge of installing on top of Tiger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 upgrade installs are not supported currently - i'd do a clean install if at all possible. you could always do the bootcamp trick - get bootcamp assistant to (non-destructively) create a partition, then isntall to that...

tyty2 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 hi! Is it compatible with iLife 06 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitCase Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Firefox, Toast, VLC and Mplayer OSX all run on my system. I've also tried a heap of other apps (CS3, NNW, Colloquy, Coda, Opera, etc) and they all work very well. I have not found an incompatible app yet, and while the OS has a few rough edges, it's probably stable enough to use as your main system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelelliott394 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 it should be alright...i managed to run last years WWDC as my main OS for about 3 months...it ran better than tiger so i'm hoping this is stable enough too....especially on a G4 iBook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mingistech Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 My first install of 9A466 was on an External HDD. I ran a FULL INSTALL and everything works flawless After becoming more comfortable with the beta I decided to do an UPGRADE INSTALL to my current install of Tiger on my internal drive.... ohhhh what a mistake that was. Buggy as hell... Lots of apps not responding..... Boots slower than the full install off the external drive. Seems like the whole upgrade option is a bust on this build. I'm gonna backup all my important data and try a full install on my internal drive. Just a heads up for anyone looking into installation options. Full Installation seems like the only good option for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always keep that borked until the very last builds, obviously they want to focus on more important things before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logitech CC gives kernel panic when you disconnect USB dongles (in Tiger though). Buggy as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
