It’ll only cost $29 for Leopard users. I would of payed more then $29 though. I’ll also be getting the 3.0 firmware for my touch on June 17th when it comes out. MacBook Pros got cheaper, and faster.
That’s because many observers don’t expect a new iPhone will be unveiled. The Cupertino company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference is about software, not gadgets. Some prognosticators say a new device – perhaps even a new family of iPhones – will be launched later this month or in July.
Good cause I don’t care about the iPhone. Not buying any phone that is locked down to a service, hell I don’t even need a cell phone or any phone for that matter. If I had to pay bill, I’d have no cell phone.
Might not have to buy OS X Snow Leopard, as I’ll eventually get an iMac. Doubt Snow leopard will be released immediately.
Funny how everyone is expecting hardware, does anyone realize the name of it is “World Wide Developer Conference”? Sounds like software, not hardware, at least to me.
A number of analysts expect Apple to hold a special event in coming weeks to launch a new family of iPhones, and to announce lower prices.
Ahh there you go iPhone humpers. Maybe they’ll lower price of iMac, still have to wait 2+ months, will want some money left in bank, and will be buying refurbished.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster speculates a device that is somewhat larger than the iPod Touch will be launched in the first quarter of next year.
That is what I want, then I won’t bother getting a new touch if they make a new one. I still have the first generation touch, waiting for third generation or tablet like mac.
Apple’s annual developers conference: Don’t expect a new iPhone – San Jose Mercury News.
What a useless false article, surprised google news links to it. I didn’t pay over $1,000 for my mac, I payed about $599. Pathetic article, don’t listen to morons, that don’t know shit. Mac’s may be expensive, but I’m glad that I won’t need to purchase another computer for sometime. The new windows vista OS, makes older computers useless, you will either have to stay with xp, or use linux, I’d personally be using linux on a normal pc. My mom’ s laptop can’t run windows vista, glad it can’t, that means I don’t have to be the one fixing it, though even if it could she probably wouldn’t upgrade it. She isn’t even done paying it off, and it can’t run the latest winblows OS.
Older ppc mac’s can run leopard, my uncles old iBook could run leopard, if I didn’t sell it. The person that bought it, might of put leopard on it. If the next version of OS X, still supports ppc macs, then that tells you something about apple. Apple likes to support their systems for a long time, non like microshit. Don’t forgot, microsoft has to lie to get people to like vista, they tell them that the OS their showing them is new, when its the crappy vista, they should mention how much the PC was, that is capable of running such a bloated OS. Well the price for new systems might of went down.
Just think about all the people who bought a windows computer a year before vista came out, and it can’t run vista. So their year old PC, can’t run the latest pathetic OS by microshit. Now do the world a favor, and stop buying windows PCS, buy a linux PC, or a mac. Or don’t buy a computer at all.
Oh yeah my uncle is still using a first generation macbook, and it runs leopard fine. Not having to buy a new computer as often, results in you saving money in the long run, and therefore you can buy a quality product, rather then a piece of shit. Ahh my uncle got his macbook in 2006. Now lets see how long he waits, until he buys a new one.
I got my mac mini almost a year ago, the anniversary is coming up in September.
* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
* At least 4.7GB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for creations.*
My video card is the crappy intel gma 950, so no spore for me.
This game will not run on the GMA 950 class of integrated video cards.
Hmm the windows version supports GMA 950, that’s bull shit. Guess I could use boot camp, and then play it in windows.
The 10.5.2 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
For detailed information on this update, please visit this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307109.
For detailed information on security updates, please visit this website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61798.
Apple released 10.5.2 today, you can get it by software update.
I can now see shared computers on the network.
Now I can back my mac up manually anytime, thanks to the new time machine icon.
There is a build of the open source version of Virtual Box available here for download. Seems to work fine, had to change one setting as that site states “If you can’t boot your guest OS, try PIIX3 IDE controller setting.”. You can also download it from here.
Never knew how bad this site looked in IE7. Don’t care, it looks fine in safari and firefox and opera too. Its functional in IE7, the colors aren’t the correct colors though.
Update
Fixed it, only because it was an easy fix. Might not look right in IE6 though.
Update
Beta 3 of Virtual Box for OS X is available on their site.
If your getting errors like the below, then most likely you set your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, which causes a lot of problems.
dyld: Symbol not found: __cg_jpeg_resync_to_restart Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/ImageIO Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libJPEG.dylib Trace/BPT trap
I set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH path, as the macports install instructions said to do so, or at least it use to.
I was trying to compile mythtv and I got an error like the above, when it was running moc, which is provided by qt. That program nor some other programs will work if you set that variable. The solution is simple, comment out the “export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$QTDIR/lib”, in your .bash_profile folder, open a terminal and type nano .bash_profile, in your home directory.
Then run the below command:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=""
Or just restart the terminal after you comment out the “export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$QTDIR/lib” line in your .bash_profile file.
If you don’t have a .bash_profile file, then it might be .profile.
Oh yeah and I never got mythtv to compile on leopard, I gave up. But to save yourself some trouble, you can download a qt3 intel installer here. Which was compiled on leopard, it will be installed in /opt/local. You will probably need to set the variable QTDIR to /opt/local, so you can compile programs that need qt3.
export QTDIR=/opt/local
You can also add that to your .bash_profile file.
I found the information about DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH here. Google actually found that for me, thanks google.
If you don’t want to use the installer for qt3, then you can find information on compiling qt3 here.
Update
Download the fixed package here. That package should work.
Update 12/14/07
You can download a pkg installer here. It doesn’t contain my working config files though, you can find my working config files here. Fuppes will be installed into /opt/local/bin, so run /opt/local/bin/fuppes to start.
Fuppes is a free UPnP media server, which can stream to the xbox 360 and other devices too. No need to pay for some program called “connect360″. You can compile it yourself, or download the intel binary, sorry powerpc users, I didn’t cross compile.
Download Fuppes-SVN-549 intel binary OS X (Tested on my mac only, running leopard, no guarantee it will work. Use at your own risk.)
The source code has been edited, so you can go to youipaddress:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuildv, which will rebuild your virtual folders, it already had the ability to update the database or rebuild the database by the web interface, I just added support to rebuild the virtual folders from the web interface.
The main reason was so I could add the following to a shell script:
cd /tmp && wget myip:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuild
cd /tmp && wget myip:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuildv
Which will obviously do the same thing as if you pointed your web browser there.
Download PresentationHandler.cpp (The only file I modified.)
If you make a cronjob to run the above commands, then you will most likely want to set a port number in fuppes.cfg, so it doesn’t change every time you restart it.
For those who can’t read my included readme file, I copied and pasted it here.
Install
Double click install, the install script will copy everything in bin/ to /usr/local/bin and everything in lib/ to /usr/local/lib.
Edit vfolder.cfg, and then copy it to ~/.fuppes, ~/.fuppes will be created the first time you run fuppes, or just do mkdir ~/.fuppes, vfolder.cfg isn’t required by all devices. If you don’t want to use the xbox 360 virtual folder configuration, then change
<vfolder_layout device="Xbox 360" enabled="true">
to
<vfolder_layout device="Xbox 360" enabled="false">
Then change
<vfolder_layout device="default" enabled="false">
to
<vfolder_layout device="default" enabled="true">
You don’t need to copy the included fuppes.cfg, as it will create one when you open it. It is already configured to be working with the xbox 360 though. You might need to put your local ip address in between
<interface></interface>
Also you will most likely need to change the shared objects, to whatever folders you want to share, you can add as many
<dir></dir>
as you want.
After you have it configured you can run it with fuppes, then type r, and then after that is done type v, if you need virtual folders. The source has been modified so you can go to youipaddress:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuildv, which will rebuild the virtual folders, you need to do that after you update, or rebuild the database.
The script was modified so I could add to a shell script on my mythtv box, to automatically update the database, after it exports the show to the xvid format.
youipaddress:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuild
youipaddress:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuildv
Nothing will show in your browser when going to youipaddress:port/presentation/options.html?db=rebuildv, if you look in the terminal you will see that it is working, unless you don’t have a vfolders.cfg file in ~/.fuppes.
Uninstall
Double click uninstall, which will delete everything it installed, but it won’t delete your settings by fuppes, you can delete it manually by running in a terminal “rm -fr ~/.fuppes”
I got OS X leopard yesterday, and my uncle wasn’t lying, when he said Safari is faster then firefox. I made an apple script to do most of the work for me, but not 100% automatic. Now I can mess around with the new features. I setup spaces, you can assign applications to the spaces to. I’ll upload the apple script eventually. Maybe in a week or two. Or maybe my uncle will post it on his blog. Hmm Gimp 2.4 is released. Wait only the 2.4 RC3 is available for OS X, and I already have RC3. Could compile it myself, but I don’t want to.
Easter Egg
Just think if you were on a network with thousands of pcs, sharing their computer… I would probably fall off my chair.
Pretty Box
Why didn’t I just pirate OS X Leopard?
They took the time to put that on their box, non like microsoft.
Install
By the time I was done taking a dump, it was almost done. I didn’t take a picture of it when it was almost done though, only took two pictures of it checking the dvd, one with the flash on, and the other off.
I finally uploaded mythfrontend 0.20.2. I have a crappy upload speed, so it took about 25 minutes. This is the universal binary from here. Hopefully it’ll download faster from my site. Don’t link directly to the file, if you do anti leech will be turned on.
Download MythFrontend-.20.2-Universal.dmg
Update
Hot linking has been disabled. Also moved the file. Link has been updated.
Update
You can find svn packages here. For intel only unless otherwise stated in the filename. If you’re using leopard, your remote should work in all of those svn packages.
To use the svn versions your backend will have to be using a svn version too. If you’re using mythbuntu then you can follow these instructions for upgrading to the svn version. Might work with the official ubuntu too.
Mythtv release-0-21-fixes (Intel only.)
Was just reading comments on the leaked version of leopard, the development version. Somebody said it works on their iBook G4 1.4 GHz, faster then mine, but who cares. I think its coming out in October. Now I see why OSX doesn’t require a serial number, they know you’ll probably buy the next release. Just need to sell my other laptop, so I can buy it. Might get 200 out of it.
I got my uncle’s old iBook today. In the process of buying osx tiger, about two hours left, before it gets here. I got 7 hour shipping, payed a lot of money for it. It has ubuntu on it, my uncle put ubuntu on it. Don’t know his username and password, don’t care either. I don’t want to use ubuntu. Wonder if leopard will only be for intel based macs, or if it will be for ppc based macs too.
Now I want a mac again, as the new leopard is cool looking. The time machine is kind of cool, but then I’d need an external drive. Just watched all the videos. Won’t be getting a mac for a while though, plus I’m waiting until leopard comes out. Oh yeah I’m in windows because linux froze, I think safari is faster then firefox. Plus I wanted to watch little bush on the t.v up stairs, tversity in vmware server, wasn’t working. Works fine in windows. Will have to boot back into linux, as I like the commercial flagging that mythtv has. If mythtv was for windows, then I wouldn’t boot back into it.
