Can we expect an unboxing in your video blog? I hope.

Of course! Leopard should make producing the show dramatically easier. I really want to up production time & video quality, but that's another story - for a totally different thread.

Hoping it turns up tomorrow, or Saturday.
 
Mines still say prepared for shipment :mad: I wonder when it's going to get here:confused:

Mine has changed to prepared for shipping. (Ireland)

Still keeping my fingers crossed it ships tommorow for delivery Friday, but not going to hold my breath. I'm guessing I wont be seeing my Leopard growl till sometime next week after the long bank holiday weekend... :(

Mine says the same but I'm not stressing. When I ordered my MBP it came overnight and I think I got it just about the time Apple updated their system to say "shipped" and give me the FedEx number to the package I had just received. :eek:
 
They said considering based on interest. And to call back late tomorrow to find out what's going on.
I wont be going, I was just contingency planning incase apple decided to ignore their european pre-orders again, but mine has changed to Prepared for shipment, so am happy.

I've never been to Farpoint, I'll look them up next time I'm in Bath.


i've considered that too. I found tantra to be lacking and western (in bristol anyway) annoying to get to and offering nothing special.

John Lewis in the Mall at Cribbs are also hoping to have stock, so that they can sell post 6.00 PM on Friday, but they are not 100% sure they will get some. Fingers crossed.
 
No Changes

Hey everyone. I ordered my leopard os on the 16th...about an hour after the Apple store came back on-line in Canada, and was accepting pre-orders for leopard.
I've been checking, and it's still saying "will ship: delivers on the 26th".
I dunno...........

When did you pre-order. I preordered on monday, so I am definately not one of the first people who pre-ordered, but you have given me some hope.

I'm with you. Ordered same time and still says same thing. Starting to worry a bit.
 
Hey Izzle22...I ordered a 20" Imac in '05, and it came Fed-ex...my extended warranty came via Canada Post, and I just bought my Macbook at the Futureshop...Any guesses as to how they're gonna ship Leopard? I also looked, and I had checked off Priority shipping, but I noticed the charge is gone from my bill, but the Apple store still says priority overnight.

It will probably ship FedEx Overnight. I preordered Panther and Tiger and they both came overnight on release day, but as I remember they had already shipped by now.
 
"One More Thing..."

Hey everyone....just a quick question....I know that you can install leopard over tiger, and retain most of your settings, contacts, etc...but I've already saved all my contacts on my pda, my other apps, alias', etc on a flash drive and couple of DVD's....and my macbook is only four months old...would it be better just to re-format and do a fresh install? (I used to be a windows user, and always had problems...reformatting and re-installation seemed to fix it).

Thanks.
 
very quickly

because this is discussed in detail elsewhere in this forum; what is best is up to you, not us. You can choose erase and install, archive and install or update. I am not going to erase and install at this time. hope this helps...

Everyone says it's better to do a clean install although I've always done an upgrade and never a clean install. I personally have never had any problems with upgrades and don't want to go through all the trouble of reformatting my whole machine.
