Day 0: Leopard Installed
After the successful backup of my Tiger OS, I began to install Leopard. Among the many installation options, I decided to bite the bullet and chose the Upgrade option, despite the many people advising to do a clean install (i.e., Erase and Install option).
It took about 1.5 hours to complete the installation process. After which I was greeted with a new splash screen and Leopard was up and running! I experienced none of the reported “blue screen of death” that was in the news. If anyone else does experience the BSOD, Apple posted some recommendations, which is basically do a reinstall and choose the Archive and Install option.
First thing I did was to run Software Update and I was prompted to update my Keychain application. Apple documentation mentioned that this upgrade addresses a few issues, including logging in with an account originally created in Mac OS X 10.1 or earlier that has a password of 8 or more characters, connecting to some 802.11b/g wireless networks, and changing the password of a FileVault-protected account.
Next up was to run Appfresh. I was then treated with the first of Leopard’s incompatibility issues—Appfresh would crash. Bitcontrol seems to also experience the same problem
Quicksilver seems to be working fine, but I still downloaded and installed the recommended upgrade.
Lightroom seems to be running fine, but I still have to perform some operations (as documented in the Adobe blog) that would trigger the problems.
Elgato’s EyeTV is working fine, though it did ask me to perform an update as well. I am not sure if the update had anything to do with Leopard.
So far so good. Now to try Time Machine….

Hi. I’m one of the AppFresh devs, and we’d love to have a look at your AppFresh crash logs. You can find them in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter - please mail them to appfresh@metaquark.de Thanks!
