End of the road for those with PowerPC-based Macs

This is Apple's last release of OS X that supports PowerPC-based Mac computers. Upgrading was simple and uneventful. After upgrading, you should run the check for software updates repeatedly until no new updates are found. If you use iTunes, check that your devices still are recognized and sync after the upgrade. I my case, my iPod Touch was not recognized by iTunes when I connected it to the computer's USB ports. I do not know if this was caused by the upgrade or if my Mac had a "pre-existing condition" that was exposed by the upgrade. In any case, the instructions on Apple's support pages for iTunes allowed me to resolve the problem.

Upgrade alert

After you install OS X 10.5.6 check for software updates ("Software Update" under the Apple menu) especially if you are having application problems. The following happened to me: My "Mail" application was not working on my G5. My previous email messages didn't appear and the program wouldn't quit unless I did a force quit. And even though I could go online with a web browser, I couldn't send or receive mail. I called Apple they told me to check for updates. This updated me to 10.5.8 and everything works fine. Also note that upgrading to Leopard takes about two hours. So does adding the updates. Don't get concerned if it looks like the installation has stalled, it just takes a LONG time.
I like Leopard but its new features are more fun than productive. Also, you must have an Intel processor to upgrade to Snow Leopard. So you will probably need a Mac Pro.
I hope I've been able to help someone.

Ehhh... It's Fine.

My laptop was running on an earlier OS and in order to watch any videos online or update much of my other software I had to update my OS t Leopard. Overall it's fine but the loss of the "Classic Environment" is a bummer. Also, I have been having trouble hooking up USB devices and having my computer recognize they are there.

MAC Leopard software

It appears to be working just fine. Glad I could find this software since Apple Stores do not carry it anymore!

A question

I would like to know if somebody can help me. I bought an Apple MacBook Pro MC118LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop and it cames with Snow Leopard Operation System. I have a program that doesn't go with this OS. What I want to know is if I buy the OS Leopard, an older version, can I install in this Mac book?
