They better fix the firewall. What I'm hearing about the poor firewall is making me uneasy. I had been anxiously waiting to buy my first mac computer. I wanted to switch from windows to mac. Now this "mess" in the firewall doesn't sound safe. Apple wont be getting my money If I cant safe because Im starting to lean my balance to vista with the rumored xps m1530, or the m1330. Hurry up apple, I don't have much time as a college student.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Preparing for Mac OS X 10.5.1

I just received my copy from ADC today and just upgraded. It's been getting faster and faster due to spotlight and now Time Machine? The difference in speed was night and day. I'll have to hold judgment until TM finishes. No apparent problems yet, I did have to manually insert the Quick Look icon onto my menu bar though, after a few uses this feature is currently my favorite. I'm soo glad I didn't do a clean install though. I never even considered using TM to do a clean install at a later date.
OS9 (Classic) is no longer supported and hasn't been for a long time (12/2001), so there will never be more updates for it. It doesn't run on any of the Intel-based machines, so why would Apple waste any time with it? Time to move on...
Even without a software firewall, are you behind a router? Because that's a layer of protection right there. I'd feel more safe with a Mac OS X computer running no firewall than a Windows machine running no firewall.
But yes, I certainly hope Apple fixes the problem.
Please help me...
About time... I have a big problem with not being able to listen to any sound on my macbook speakers, only over external speakers or headphones. The problem and screen shots are listed here:

I really need this fixed. Also, i'm disappointed that VEOH doesn't work on leopard.

Most of these shortcomings i find minor. I am prepared to live with them given the possibility that we will soon have 3rd party plugins
told ya. Within 2 months there would be an update.
The biggest problem I've found is with WIFI when you enable prompt for password upon wake. The thing forgets the passphrase in the keychain. But it ONLY happens when I have PuW set.

Oh boy, they better fix the firewall stuff. The nastiest of all firewall function is to sign applications that do not have a signature yet. This damages the Skype app so that it does not longer work *grr*.
And I hope they fixed the performance of the CIFS back to Tiger niveau. I want to watch my series from my NAS again
Not to mention the iMac freezings which made me return back to Tiger

Me too. I have to press "connect" everytime I start my iMac with Leopard since it looses the established connection when it has been stut down. Sometimes works if I only do a restart, though...
Leopard on an iMac G5 Rev 2 and Current MacBook
So far so good on both. I have not loaded CS 3, Lightroom, my working apps, yet: but I have no complaints here. I did a clean install, which is I always do wit a new OS. I hope the problems others are having are soon figured out, though. I did have a minor issue with syncing from .mac, but after I reset the sync all went well.

Indeed. It maybe possible that 10.4.11 will address a slow connection to a Laserjet 4L using Gimp on a Power Mac I have still running Tiger
i've used every mac system since os6 and cant remember a worse f--up than LEOPARD is.
bugs galore, stacks
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
i am scared thatin 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
I feel you pain. But as I keep telling people please, please send feedback to Apple so that they know that people are disappointed about lost features. (new Dock behavior with no folder menus, Stacks could be better with navigability, loss of the the search view in Finder with files/folder organised into type categories.....etc.) Try and keep it polite.
What I do is write all the stuff down even with all the ***** and blinding leave it a few days and then send a polite edited version to Apple.
They may just listen if they realise that enough people are unhappy about things.
Yup, I totally agree. I just don't understand why this functionality existed in previous developer builds (and worked fine, for that matter) only to be removed in the retail build. Also in the earlier builds, you can drag random applications and files to the Dock to make a custom Stack. You also can't do this in the retail build.
I hope Apple realises a lot of people are having issues shutting down their macbooks...(it hangs on the black screen even after doing standard PRAM resets etc.)
That's funny, this is one of my favourite 'mini-features' of the new finder. It's an absolute timesaver. When I rename I rarely want to change the file extension so this saves me lots of time (when added) up.
I agree though, it should be a preference (even if hidden).

Yeah what was he thinking trying to MOVE files instead of copy them. That idiot should have known better. It doesn't matter what he did, data lose via a transfer is a big issue.
In any case, looking forward to bug fixes. Hope they fix more than break.
OS 9 support? Seriously?? I think the year you want to look at is 2001, because that's around the time Apple said OS 9 is dead to them.
