Snow Leopard 10A432 - Application Compatibility Thread
- Thread starter sammy2066
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I contacted Jumsoft to see if Relationship would be compatible with Snow Leopard, but they said they haven't begun testing yet. In the meantime I've exported all my client contacts into Apple's regular address book so I'm sure I can get to them after the upgrade.
Does Duet work?
What I haven't found anywhere, and would be a deal breaker for me installing Snow Leopard this weekend, is if the Apogee Duet works with SL, can anyone tell me the status of the situation?

Anyone have a alternative to InsomniaX? I used it to turn off my Macbook's monitor when using it in "clamshell mode"
Playback 1.0.4 is extremely buggy under Snow Leopard. The Start/Stop button isn't visible, but clicking on the text works.
The playback is extremely choppy, the program randomly shuts down several times. Streaming is intermittent and quits playback.

Mail.app always crashes
I'm using 10A432 that I downloaded as torrent and everything is running great and faster except for Mail.app that always crashes on startup. Is anyone else experiencing this? I don't know what to do as I didn't backup my Leopard system. Can i do a downgrade from the DVD without losing anything on the computer? And what do I do to keep Mail alive in Snow Leopard (even if I buy the retail copy) if 10A432 is the build coming out to stores, anyway?

My major concerns are Lostify and visual hub, everything else I can work around. Any conformation of these two apps?
Visual Hub is confirmed compatible on the SL wikidot page, which is down ATM (I looked it up this morning when it still worked).
I've used both VisualHub and Lostify several times successfully since I upgraded to SL. No problems there.
Well, you just learned the hard way that backups are your friend.
Unfortunately, no. But you can still copy all your Mail.app data files (wherever they reside), reinstall 10.5, and then reconfigure mail to look at those files...assuming they didn't get upgraded in some way by the 10.6 Mail.app that would make them incompatible with 10.5 Mail.app.
That's funny, because the developer of SteerMouse says it only works in 32-bit mode and that a 64-bit version will be out in September.

How to tell if you have any PowerPC apps that might require Rosetta install
Here is a way to tell if you have any apps that are only PowerPC, hence don't have a chance of working on Snow Leopard without Rosetta. In a terminal window type the following:
cd /Applications (don't type any of this in parentheses -- just put wherever you want to look)
find . -exec file {} \; | grep "Mach-O executable ppc" | grep -v "for architecture ppc"
If you get any permission errors you might need to preceed the "find" command with sudo and supply an admin password. So you can make a list of things that you will likely need to install the Rosetta option during the upgrade if you still need them.

or use cleanapp, but it doesn't seem to harm anything to leve it on while waiting for it to be updated.
