Apps that WON'T work on Leopard

Not open for further replies.
For any other people who refuse (like me) to stop using Fire, it crashes anytime you try to run it under Leopard.

With all the problems everyone are having, does that mean CS2, or CS3 will run really slow on a MacPro with Leopard right now too, or is that something the updates are gonna fix soon? To make them run fast and smooth again? I'm a bit lost there.

Well, it doesn't run "really slow" but i noticed that it was a bit slower. It could have been because i had Safari and Mail in one "Space" and then iTunes in another and then Illustrator and PS in a 3rd and Vectorworks in the fourth.

And theeeeeeeennnnnnn????

Growl works, but some apps need to be reregistered with Growl to function again. If you do a clean install that should not be a problem.

As far as the other apps, I haven't personally tried, but I know Adium works.

I can't seem to get Growl to work. I did a clean install and it won't show any apps messages.
 
Last.fm

When I turn on my computer, Last.fm starts up on its own, even though I didn't tell it to and it didn't do it before in Tiger. Last.fm is only to start by itself when iTunes opens. But now if Last.fm is closed and I open up iTunes, Last.fm doesn't open by itself.

And to top it off, it's really difficult to start it up. It's always unresponsive. So I consider Last.fm a dead app on Leopard.
 
Microsoft Office

Leopard and Office don't mix together. Upon upgrading lost all my network printer drivers. Reinstalled them so they work from FireFox.
However Office crashes (quits) when I try to print. Same happens when I try to print to PDF, which worked great before upgrade.
Also Visual Basic macros in my Excel sheets crash Mac version Excel but work great under Windows Excel.
After 3 months of struggles I am sorry I switched from Dell to MacBook Pro.

It is fairly common for programs to fail when upgrading from one version of OS X to a new version.

But, frequently it goes much smoother if you backup all your data files, e-mails, bookmarks, address book, etc.

Then, do a fresh install on a freshly formatted hard drive.

Then, re-install your programs from scratch (using their original installation disks).

Then, copy your data files, e-mails, bookmarks, address book, etc. back to the system.

I find that things are much smoother that way.

Yes, an upgrade install would be nicer. But, since it tends to have more issues, I usually go the long way.

Fortunately, major releases of OS X only come along every few years. I use it as an opportunity to clean-up my system and dump the garbage I forgot about.

Joost doesn't work "Unable to connect to network error"

No surprise there. That's all I've gotten out of it in Tiger as well. Tried multiple times on multiple days. Never anything other than error messages. Well, that's not entirely true. It did work a couple of days for about 2 or 3 minutes before throwing up the error messages.

I think Joost is just useless.
 
eyeTV VLC Remote Control

Apple's remote control does not work in eyeTV or VLC player, so my mac mini media centre it pretty much screwed.🙁
 
Tried opening Adobe Indesign CS2 on my MacBook yesterday. Crashed on start-up. Several times. Also after a restart.

Opened just fine on my girlfriend's iBook, though, so I don't know if it's my machine or an Intel vs PPC thing...
 
Missing Sync & Nova Media iSync Plugins

Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is not working but the vendors are working on it.

Nova Media plugins for iSync was not working, but a re-install fixed it.
 
The LetterBox plugin for Mail doesn't work and won't be developed (by original developer at least) on Leopard.

Also, Coconut Battery is saying that my MBP has only 7 cycles while System Profiler and iStatPro have the correct number at 32.

I don't think that my NuLooq drivers are working, but haven't really tested them out. And this probably means my Harmony Remote software won't work right away.


Ahh...the joys of a new OS.

Photoshop CS3 has a small bug - when cropping with the crop tool, the text boxes for setting the crop size can become "corrupted" after one or two crops. You then have to restart Photoshop.

I'm having the same problem with the crop tool malfunctioning after two crops. The height box seems to randomly switch from inches to pixels and doesn't accept the numbers that are typed in. Anyone know how to fix this?
