patpatpoon Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 hi guys, i hv the 9a559 now, which is my first time using builds (i never tried builds when tiger came) but i do have 2 questions 1. can i do an upgrade to the current system when i get the leopard next week? i dun wanna lose and reinstall the stuff again 2.do u guys find the Front Row 2.0 is not as brilliant as 1.3 especially the transition? 1.3 does a fabulous one when the desktop goes back and the big 4 icons floats out, and the song stops playing when opening front row, anyone knows would apple do something to it? these questions are only u guys from worldwide could answer, the mac forums in hongkong dont really cut the mustard.

Cdnalsi Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't think you can upgrade. Maybe you can upgrade from Tiger, but I'm not sure from 599... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomNinjaAtk Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I do like the transition in 1.3 better, but I don't know about the whole upgrade issue either. From tiger it should work, a safe guess would be why not? But you'll be better off not doing an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marliwahoo Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You may be able to do an "archive and install" installation. I most always erase and install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhur Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hey Patpatpoon, 1. Yes you can just select archive and install. I am 100% sure. As I am planning to do the same. 2. Though I miss the old entrée transition of Front Row(lol), there are many new features for eg. when you play music, if your song is more than 30 sec's, it will flip the now playing menu from right to left, vice versa, just the way it did for the entry. It has support for events. The overall transitions are amazing with Front Row2. Just wait a while, I am sure Apple finds a certain things buggy too, if we have noticed it than they will too. Cheers, Madhur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Madhur so is it a bug that the song stops playing when entering front row? and i'd think they need to keep that entering transition that is what making my fds' 'O-mouth' (we call O mouth in cantonese, means an OH sound until he cant speak anymore). i dunno about Apple TV much, as nobody buys Apple TV in HK, it is not useful here.
