Anyone *NOT* having Leopard issues?

I had a bug during install but nothing since. When restarting to install the screen would go extremely dim and I was unable to change it. I could barely see anything, I had to hold it at an angle to see the choices. Once finished and rebooted I was able to turn up the brightness again. No issues after that. I did a dirty install.

Numerous bugs in Leopard.

I have had numerous issues with Leopard, the most annoying of which is that Time Machine does not work. It keeps crashing. This is one of the major reasons I made the upgrade. Most of the other stuff is window dressing.

Otherwise, among other things, I have disappearing icons, icons that change when you drag them to another location, issues with emptying the trash.

workin fine for me :D

Works almost perfectly - even Safari seems snappier (just joking ... well, it does seem faster but who knows?).

One application crash so far. I have Vine Server running instead of Apple's Remote Desktop, and my Mac shows up in the Shared list. If you try to connect to that, the Screen Sharing application crashes. No biggie.

Everything else works fine.

I did an upgrade install. First I updated my SuperDuper clone (10 minutes), shut down, disconnected everything except for the mouse and keyboard, rebooted, skipped the DVD verification, and installed (another 20 minutes for all that). I was running Leopard 30 minutes after sitting down at my desk.

I'm running a first gen Intel 1.83 GHz CD iMac.
 
Two for two.

MacBook (2GH C2D 2GB) - Archive and Install

Mac Mini (PPC 1.42GH 1GB) - Archive and Install

Both went slicker than a pig in mud.

Next to do - my Mac Pro
 
Don't forget that people with problems will be louder than those who don't. This is true on the VW forum I'm on as well -- you can get the impression that model X is a lemon, when in reality the large majority of people who have no problems whatsoever will not post.

I've never had any problems so far. I did have Shapeshifter and APE installed, but I uninstalled them first, and upgraded Little Snitch to v2. The only app that actually bombed out on me was a MUD client (Atlantis) and upgrading that to a version compiled especially for Leopard users without the Perl support that caused the crash (I don't need that feature) fixed the problem.

I do most of my work in Photoshop which I knew would work fine from reports I'd seen before upgrading. And so far, with my doing some editing of personal files, that's held true.

I'm sure if I do run into any problems, I can deal with them as they come, but so far so good.
 
No Problem, TM saved my System 10.5

Hello!
No problem during installation (archive and new).
But I learned that a hot dismounting of a drive is really a mess. It destroyed my new system totally. Fortunately I've done the first back-up with TM. Gorgeous! The recovering was done easily!
 
Lots of Issues

As much as I want to join the chorus of happy happy Mac OS 10.5 users, this release is full of bugs. Dashboard crashes all the time. Safari froze and crashed, or cannot find open URLs. Mail magically fails to recognize existing servers. Printers need to be re-directed. Time Machine wanted me to reformat my external drive and wipe out the archive (no thanks). Maybe it's me but this isn't the user-friendly dream app I was hoping for.

Perhaps you should consider reinstalling the OS with erase and install. You have far too many issues.
 
Problem-Free... just about

Aside from Back to My Mac not working and the Disk Utility bug, things seem good. Startup is much slower, but the actual live OS is quicker... it's quite interesting. I think Apple's paying right now for rushing out their GM ... lots of unhappy Mac-ers.
 
No problems installing for me on a 1.5th generation MacBook Pro.

Backed up my hard drive, did a format&install and manually restored my apps and preferences.

It's really the best way to do a major OS upgrade.
 
Ok on iMac

Archive and Install worked flawlessly on the iMac (family edition of Leopard). [I had some install issues on two other machines - one due to the bluescreen problem on MacBook, fixed now with A&I; second on dual G5 PowerMac - did an Erase & Install to fix.]

Everyone's probably replied by now, but I've had zero problems with Leopard and I did an upgrade, no archive.

That said, I'm not wild about some of the Leopard changes. In particular stacks is of little use and they removed the very useful view of folders that were already present in Tiger. Giant step backwards.

And I'm very upset that safariblock no longer works to block ads.
 
no problems at all now

the only issue i was having was with the ilife apps quitting unexpectedely, but a quick software update fixed it, leopard is running fast and 0 problems now
 
2 computers upgraded, not a single hiccup, everything running great. Leopard is great.
