haroldp Posted December 8, 2009 Share #21 Posted December 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) My only regret about switching to Mac ( a Macpro 8 core one year ago ), is that I did not do it earlier. I now spend my time using the computer rather than maintaining it. I am using a Windows laptop and have just ordered a macbook pro to replace it. Regards .....

LuxBob Posted January 9, 2010 Share #22 Posted January 9, 2010 The upgrade to SL went fine. I use Aperture though and printing is severely affected. When I attempt to print an image I get the spinning ball and it takes a long time for the dialog to appear. Once it has selecting each item and setting it also takes time. If you check the Aperture Discussion Forum you will see that a number of people have a variety of problems. I am waiting for the next release of Aperture when I hope this problems will be fixed.

ihw Posted January 10, 2010 Share #23 Posted January 10, 2010 My upgrade to Snow Leopard went just fine. I had one issue regarding a start-up application (Huey Pantone calibration) but that was easily resolved. You won't regret changing to a Mac! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire53 Posted January 10, 2010 Share #24 Posted January 10, 2010 changed to Apple MacPro 2 years ago, last week to Snow Leopard. No problems. I use VMware for Windos. I don't like the dual boot option. Now I'm waiting for Aperture 3 with the 64bit support should be even better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted January 10, 2010 Share #25 Posted January 10, 2010 As a Mac user for many years, I think that Slow Leopard sucks. I started with 10.2 and every update up to Snow Leopard went perfectly. Now with SL, I get 10810 finder crashes when I have an external FW drive attached and a Mac has to wake from sleep, some my printers don't work properly any more and I have to use limited functionality Unix drivers. The SBOD (spinning beachball of death) has become an ever present "friend". An action group estimates that there are 75,000+ SL users with the 10810 problem and what is Apple doing about it - nothing. It is not even listed on the beta release of 10.6.3 that has just been seeded. We have three Macs with Leopard - they operate perfectly. We have 2 with SL - endless problems. We have to clean the caches every two weeks to keep them running semi-smoothly. My recommendation is if possible, stick to Leopard for the moment. We think we know where the problem lies. The 64 bit Carbon API can crash when writing 32 bit files to external storage and when indexing them on Spotlight. Again Apple is ignoring the advice of us Beta testers on this issue.
