why 6 PM?
I don't get it why they don't just have the software go on sale at 10. I understood with the iPhone because it was in short supply but I don't think Apple has to worry about running out of software. I have the day off and it would have been so easy just to drive down (100 miles) to the Apple Store and get it. Then I could install it and set up the parental controls before the kids got back from school.
I ordered online so I hope I get it tomorrow but I'll miss out on lusting after some new gear and getting a T-shirt for the wife to sleep in. At least I'll save on gas.

Happened exactly the same way to me. Unless you plan on doing a format+install it won't fix it, I tried
If anyone knows a fix let me (us) know.
i did a clean install of leopard, installed iLife '08... i had noticed that iChat Theater wasn't working with iPhoto so i updated iPhoto from iPhoto... but i remember that software update WAS working earlier for me because i used it to see all the other updates i should do (but didn't). now i'm getting the same error you're getting... so i think it's on apple's side...
EDIT: oh of course... the error message states that the file can't be found on the apple server... so it's defiantly on apple's side...
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode, sharing)
Leopard Update
Well, I know it looks like it is the server, but because most people are not complaining, I thought there could be a possibility that it is my side. Anyway, I still think it is on the Apple server side. Maybe they are really busy!

OK. that's actually cool. dang cool. For things like Photoshop, aperture, etc that would be a godsend for newbies.
Hmmm, not received my copy yet, but just woke up after having a dream that i killed a russian postie (no idea why) because he refused to hand it over to me because my signature was wrong
Somebody has discovered a nice little easter egg in Leopard. Apparently this is the default icon when you have PC's networked.
This has been known for ages/ It's even in an apple video of 10.5.

Just recieved my copy in Chichester after being shipped yesterday - I guess Plymouth is a long way away
The packaging looks nice but is a waste of resources for something that's going to go in the bin
Now for the install...
I've installed mine and it seems pretty good so far. Except that they got rid of the old Spotlight results window, which is lame.
But obviously all the cool people are using Leopard already.
Anyone who doesn't have Leopard right now is a sad old lavatory bowl!!!

don't throw it away... there's probably at least a dozen people on this site that would buy the packaging from you... (but not me... just offering a suggestion)
6.30pm here in Tokyo at the Ginza Apple Store
Got me a couple of t-shirts. The shirt has the 'X' logo from the software box on the front.
Off home to install my new OS...

Now that.... is a poor marketing slogan
Waiting for the release at 6pm when hopefully they'll start supplying Leopard with all new Macs (even if it's just a DVD). Then, probably tomorrow if they have them in stock at the Trafford Centre, I'm bagging an iMac!
LOL ! I could put it on eBay.
I'm now back, after an hour-install, running Leopard. All seems fine so far....
im from australia and got home from uni at 12 pm to see that my big cat had arrived! upgraded in 20 mins (specs in sig). Leopard is fast! bloody fast!... spotlight gives a new meaning to to the word instant and quicklook is the best feature by far!
heres a screenie for you guys that havent got it yet in the northen hemispshere
What is that desktop image?
Well, Leopard is fast and, finally, you don't have to wait ages for Dashboard to load.
Word files now have a new look - sheet of paper with 'Doc' which looks similar to Pages files (these say 'Pages' of course) and are a bit dull, as are the new folder icons.
Unread RSS feeds in Safari are no longer coloured orange but are shaded blue with a blue dot - more sophisticated.
It's going to take a while to get used the new Dock - it's not as clear as before which apps are running.
I clipped a website and put it into Dashboard - fantastic, it just works, and you can alter the appearance of the new Widget after you have made it. Sadly, the Dictionary Widget doesn't let you access Wikipedia - you have to open the Dictionary app for that, which is an oversight.
Oh, Apple says that Alex, the new male voice, is English - it's not, it's very much American.
This is really very good so far.

What's it like on an old G4 Powerbook, anyone know yet? (mine's a 1.33 with 768MB). Much slower than Tiger? Not having to wait ages for Dashboard to load would be good... it rendered it pretty much useless IMO.
I've a similar-spec G4 iBook, which I'm going to load onto later today - I'll let you know.
I can see me using Dashboard a lot more now.
They probably got a cheap hollywood actor to try putting on an English accent
Oh dear. So we'll get some really outdated "more tea old chap" or something
Umm, you can no longer send text messages via Bluetooth in Address Book - that was really useful. You can send them via Skype, which I don't want
Magnum Mac sent out an email today saying that had it and would be open till 8pm tonite
