Ugh, missed the news about a date being set.

Yes. My MBP had Leopard, used it for 9 months, did the backup and re-installed form the DVDs. I think you have to open iTunes once on the new install, for it to generate some folders, and then you overwrite with your old folder form Time machine or any other backup. It retained all info including play counts of tracks.


Just drag back the iTunes folder form your Time Machine backup. To me this isn't a restore really as you are just copying a folder. You do not need Time Machine for this. Just copy your whole iTunes folder to the backup device/method of your choice, and copy back after installing SL. This is the best way to avoid copying back any crap from your old install and just getting your iTunes related stuff back.

Will this also keep the stuff ive put in the Sort Artists/Album fields on each track?

Never been £19 as far as I know, unless you just converted the US price to pounds. Or there's the £7.95 upgrade if you bought your Mac after June 8th.

Can you do the up to date thing in store? Im half tempted to have a trip to one of the london stores or mk to get my copy on friday (if i can find one of them as i only have been to the belfast one)

I'm going to get up on Friday, see what peoples initial reports are on the clean install option then pop to the Trafford Centre at lunchtime.

I succumbed and ordered it! Might wait a week or so before installing it though to see if there are any horror install stories.

That's what I'll be doing, give it a bit of time for any problems to be ironed out.

i've just extended my shifts on friday so it'll be a mystery whether it arrives or not until 21:00...... grrr wish i had said no to the overtime now!

 

[Slogan]

My order cannot now be canceled as it's been 'prepared for shipment'.

Fully expecting Snow Leopard to be dispatched tomorrow / today [Thursday] and be in people's hands for Friday.

Just got a postal notification. 3 business days, so the worst case is after the weekend.

 

[gobbo]

Which courier is it likely to arrive with as the one listed (G3 Worldwide) are part of Spring Global Mail who I've never heard of before!

 

[knowledge123]

Not seen if this has already been posted but http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ has a list of applications and shows if they are compatible or not with 10.6, well worth a look if you have high priority applications which you need to work.

Just this minute got the e-mail...

Looks like the upgrade disc allows a clean install and doesn't ask for a Leopard disc either.
