I am screwed if I upgrade and screwed if I dont.

Why is it that when i want to rename a file it doesn't select the file extension??? This is almost as frustrating as when finder is in cover flow view and holding down the arrow key to move to a certain character while renaming a file and having cover flow scroll to a different file in the direction that is pressed. WHERE ARE MY OPTIONS TO TURN THIS KIND OF STUFF ON/OFF?

...but all in all i am a very happy customer.

thats an awesome feature! if want to change extension you still can but it only selecting before the extension when you hit enter is great for quick re-names. I really like this feature.

I'm having problems with Mail.
And 3 copies, in Mail, of "On My Mac" In the main screen left hand column. Why 3 copies of the same mailboxes?
And if I delete 1 of the multiple "On My Mac" all of them disappear, I then have to go back to import mailboxes.
Anyone else with this problem?

I've been having this as well, but I found the following fix mentioned on a website somewhere: Grab the topmost On My Mac section header, and drag it down to the bottom of the source list, just below the last item. All the other On My Mac sections should disappear, leaving you with just one.

Of course, Finder no longer automatically remembers window settings - it applies one setting globally, unless you goto info and check a button to always use a setting for a particular window. This isn't really a bug, but a feature loss.

No, that's a feature GAIN. The Finder is a lot less erratic now. Just set the folder's you need to have a certain view by default using the method described and you are sweet.
 
Couldn't come ANY sooner!!!!

i've used every mac system since os6 and cant remember a worse f--up than LEOPARD is. :mad:

bugs galore, stacks :mad:, graphics lines everywere, a total slacked off piece of you know what

except for my daughters mac i am back in 10.4. thats never happened for me but never has a mac os been this horrible :confused:

i am scared that :apple: in 10.5.1 wont fix stacks and put the menu back in it so it works in a usable way. it is a joke now and sucks suck sucks. Im all good with change but only change for the better. stacks is not better and is a nightmare

what was :apple: thinking???? :eek:
 
This will certainly be welcome. I haven't had any major failures, but lots of little nagging things. I have to restart the finder every now and then to get its head straight. Time Machine decided to try using my boot drive as the backup disk for a while-- scary but nothing bad came of it. They need to document then damned firewall so I know what the hell it's doing. Dashboard gets flaky. Spotlight has spontaneously restarted itself a few times. PubSubAgent needs to be taken out back and shot. Sometimes I see shared machines, sometimes I don't.

On top of that there are a lot of ease of use things that could be dealt with better.

I'm using it full time now, but 10.5.0 is pretty much a well polished Beta. I'm looking forward to the next few updates.
 
I can't wait for 10.4.11, one last update for my PowerBook G3 before it gets to retire for a really long time. :(

What airport issues are people having? I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and haven't had any problems.

I HAVE had my bluetooth mouse and keyboard suddenly lose connection a few times since my Leopard install, but this may just be a coincidence.

Leopard will kernel panic on me if I power cycle my AEBS while its connected. It happens 100% of the time which means if there is any sort of power interruption the MBP goes boom since I do not have a UPS. Not a gigantic issue but it sure is annoying when it happens.
 
Yeah, they should fix the screenshot functionality so I can make screenshots o the bugs in the Spaces screen. Beside of that of course the network printing (can only print once per boot cycle <g> after each print i have to restart :r, airport, exposé, the general sluggish experience have to be fixed too....

Couldn't disagree more. I had problems bigger problems with Tiger through .2 and .3 updates than I have with the .0 release of Leopard. Anyone remember .Mac syncing crashing your machine repeatedly?

And Panther had the completely inexcusable Oxford 911 chipset bug where many people lost entire hard drives worth of data...

Leopard hasn't been perfect but the bugs seem pretty small comparatively speaking.

My airport on my Macbook will last for about 3 minutes tops of use(during which it is actually very fast) and then it will time out. At which point the only way to fix this is to turn airport completely off, then back on again, at which point it lasts for 3 minutes.

It's better than during the Leopard beta, however. During beta it would actually lock my router up. As it stands now it only locks up airport on my macbook's end. And, it is definitely an issue with the mac itself with leopard on it as it works fine with Tiger with the same router(well fine with Tiger without Safari 3 beta installed, which is where I think the problem may be originating).

This doesn't look good.

Yeah thats a pretty annoying bug but its easy to explain. Copy is implemented in two steps: move and delete. The bug simply looks like the delete operation goes through even if the copy does not entirely succeed. It should be an easy fix. Its also quite trivial to avoid the issue until a fix is provided. (dont use move to networked drives! copy, then delete!)
 
The new MacBook I got will be logged into when 10.5.1 update is available. I will adopt 10.4.11 on most of my other Macs as soon as released.

I am a bit disappointed Apple has not offered a surprise 9.2.x update to add compatibility with new services and address known bugs. It would be somewhat trivial for them.

For those complaining about Leopard bugs, it is a fairly radical update to 10.X and 10.0 was a far bigger POS. I didn't even bother till 10.3 myself and all the suffering of other early adopters was amusing to watch :)

That in no way stops me from supporting the cause and spending on the latest and greatest as Apple needs and wants us to do. I can't wait till 10.5.3!
