    Anyone else using the latest version of Leapord? (10.5.2) It seems completely useless. I have never had an OS hang so frequently. Just lost 2 hours worth of work after Photoshop CS3 gave me an eternal spinning beach ball of death for no reason, and had to force quit.

    I notice there seem to be new updates for the new OS every few days....they must know it's buggy as hell.

    I have no problems except that I had to update the firmware for a router because my internet kept dropping.

    Do a clean install if you havent already.

    i have a friend who has a PPC MacMini and updating from 10.5 to 10.5.2 threw her computer into a perpetual restart loop. i had to archive and install fom the Leopard disc to get it back to a workable state again.

    And so goes Apple's journey of turning into Microsoft

    I use Leopard at home and Tiger at work. Tiger seems to give me more slow downs

    I don't have many issues. But OmniWeb keeps crashing now. I'll have to re-install.

    Also, you're more likely to have problems if you don't do a clean install.

    Never had a problem. As us techies say ... perhaps the issue is between the keyboard and chair. =P

    ^ nah

    I think I like Leopard better than Tiger, but I had to modify Leopard quite a bit. This includes the menu bar, various icons, etc. So does that mean I actually like Leopard better? Not sure.

    I think you are a lot less prone to issues if you did a clean install versus an upgrade to Leopard.

    No. It has been out for a few months. There is a new one coming within the next couple weeks. Should hopefully help some of you that are having the beach ball love.

    No problems whatsoever, with any of the Leopard versions. BTW I got el cheapo intel mac mini from ebay today (1.5GHz, core solo), just turned it on and it's funny to see Tiger again.

    I just installed OS X 10.5.2, I did a clean install, and all is fine apart me me not getting my printer working. It took me 4 hours to figure out what the hell was going on before I could get it up and running. But apart from that all is fine.

    Best advise I was ever given with a new operation system is to do a clean install, yeah it takes longer, but the end result is that it works first time. Failing that, turn it off, and on again?
