Question of the Day: Do Hourly Time Machine Backups Piss You Off?

Lately I've been getting really annoyed at Time Machine. It's running over the network to a Time Capsule, so it's basically got free rein to backup whenever it damn well pleases, or specifically once per hour, at a time of its own choosing. The result is a sudden system and network slowdown when I'm in the middle of doing stuff. Yesterday, Time Machine caused me to perform a forced reboot—in the middle of a conference call. More »

When Will You Pounce on the Leopard?

I'm curious about when everyone is going to upgrade to Mac OS 10.5, better know throughout the galaxy as Leopard. I mean, I'm excited about all the new features but if I screw up my Mac, I'm totally SOL. Do I rush in where angels fear to tread and all that? What are you going to do? (And yeah, it should be obvious that this one is for the Mac users, but I've provided a few token responses for you haters.) More »

OS X Leopard Video Walk-through

Apple's just posted an OS X Leopard walk-through video that's in the same vein as those iPhone and iPod Touch walk-through videos you've seen before. A guy narrates and describes new features while he shows them to you on the monitor—except in this case, he's less robotic (iPhone guy) or goofy (iPod touch guy). In fact, we think we've seen him before. Does he work in the SF Apple store? [Apple]

Dealzmodo: $20 off Leopard, $10 off Leopard Family Edition

Excited about all the new features in Leopard? Buy your copy from Amazon and you can get $20 off the single-user edition and $10 off the family edition. No catch as far as we can see, other than the fact that you're pre-ordering from an online store and thus probably won't get the product exactly on October 26. That's the price you pay for saving a couple bucks. [Single User and Family Pack]

Apple Answers Leopard Questions, Slaps MSFT On the Ass

We talked to Brian Croll, senior director, Mac OS X Product Marketing at Apple this morning about, yep, Leopard. We had quite a few questions, and Brian had answers for many of them. Here's the information we managed to eke out, including Leopard's demands on MacBook Pro battery life, the possibility of Widgets on iPhone, and whether or not that cool R2D2 iChat hologram effect survived. (Care to place bets?) Oh, one more thing: Apple was also quick to reiterate that "Everyone gets the Ultimate version" in a not so subtle dig at Microsoft's confusing Vista variants. More »

Apple Confirms October 26th Leopard Ship Date, Preorders Start Now

The horse has spoken: The eagerly anticipated, occasionally delayed Mac OS 10.5 Leopard is finally shipping. It will be available in 10 days, on Friday, October 26th, at 6pm in Apple Stores and at authorized resellers. Leopard may be the most ambitious MacOS update since the switch to OS X, with new features such as Time Machine, Spaces and Quick Look, plus updated iChat and Mail and a snazzy new Dock with Stacks. The upgrade will cost $129 for a single-user license, and $199 for five-user "family pack." Meanwhile, if you've bought a Mac anytime on or after October 1st, you'll get an upgrade for the cost of shipping ($9.95). Today's announcement has a few surprise features that we check out here, but we'll have an interview where we can dig for more. (Oh, and preorders start today at Apple's website.)
Apple also confirmed the simultaneous shipping of the Leopard Server software, and unveiled a new utility, Podcast Producer, "the ideal way to automatically publish podcasts to iTunes or the web."

Latest by chevyman87: This sounds great, but I do have one question. If we have bootcamp already installed will we have to erase the partition and do it all over again or will it be more of an update? more »

Earlier today the online Apple store had listed a ship date for Mac OS 10.4 Tiger as October 26th, which coincidentally is the rumored release date for 10.5 Leopard. Could this be more evidence for Leopard's release date or simply a mistake on Apple's part...

Leopard to Ship on October 26th?

Rumor has it that Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is going to be shipping in just a few weeks on Friday, October 26th. Although it's not very surprising, given that Apple usually releases new OSX versions on the last friday of the release month. If we were betting people, our money would be on the 26th.

Don't forget that Apple's Boot Camp beta, the software that lets you install Windows on a Mac, will expire this month upon OS X 10.5's release. No worries though, all you have to do is upgrade to 10.5 and you'll be safe.[Apple]

800MHz G4 Macs Are Dead to Leopard

Time to put the old girl out to pasture. Though it's not from the Mouth of Steve, rumors are confirmed that Leopard won't support the following 800 MHz G4 systems: PowerBook G4 Titanium, PowerMac G4 Quicksilver, iMac G4, iBook G4 and eMac. If you were lucky enough to hold out for the 867MHz G4, you can run Leopard, but it probably won't be fun. Better off with a G5 or an Intel-based chipset. [AppleInsider]
