instal the last version for mac The Bat! Professional 10.5

Right off the bat, the system felt a lot more sluggish than it did with Tiger. I let it do its thing, including a reboot when it was finished.Īfter the reboot, I started all the applications I use on a daily basis to confirm they worked properly: Eclipse (v3.3.2), Firefox (3.0 RC1), FileZilla (v3.0.5.2, though now I can upgrade to the latest version), iTunes (v7.6), Adium (v1.2.5), iTerm (v0.9.5), QuickSilver (vB51), Thunderbird (v2.0.0.14), and VMWare Fusion (v1.1.2). The first thing that came up was the Software Update dialog with a whole slew of things to upgrade the system to 10.5.3. With the exception of BOINC, OS X started up without any hiccups. The entire upgrade must have taken about an hour and a half, but I wasn't timing it so I could be wrong.

I can't remember how many times I've installed/upgraded a Windows system only to discover the CD was corrupted and the resulting installation was flaky. I say it impressed me because it made me feel confident that the software was going to verify the entire installation disk before continuing with the upgrade process. This was the first upgrade of an OS X system I had ever done and the first thing that impressed me was the 30+ minute 'Verifying installation disc' step.

This is unacceptable and if Apple is shipping new computers with Leopard, then my software should work with the latest version.Īfter using RsyncX to create a bootable backup of my entire Tiger installation (183 GB!), I started the upgrade process for Leopard. I was running Tiger, so I wasn't able to replicate his problem and confirm the bug. So what drove me to upgrade to Leopard? Well a customer at work was having problems with an application I created and he was using the latest version of OS X (Leopard). But I now realize that every upgrade comes with its bumps and you won't be hearing stories from people who didn't have any problems upgrading (negativity is something to complain about, positivity is taken for granted). Also around the same time I was hearing about how so many people (including myself) were refusing to upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft's OS: Vista. There were a combination of events that drove me to write that post, including hearing numerous stories about how Leopard was causing problems for people upgrading. I upgraded to the latest and greatest version of Mac OS X: Leopard (10.5).Ī little over six months ago I wrote about not fixing what isn't broken, including the previous version of OS X: Tiger (10.4).
