Just booted into 64bit for the first time. Seemed a bit snappier but also a bit flakier. I would stay in 64bit if my mbox 2 worked in it. I guess digidesign is as lazy as adobe on the 64bit front so i doubt i shall expect a driver soon.
 
Just trying to do this, and it seems I can't save changes to these files... I assume this is because they are system files, and I need to change permissions. Is that right? How should I go about doing that?

right click (or equivalent) on all the files and select get info

unlock (bottom right) click the lock and enter password

change the permissions to read and write for everyone.

you also need to do that for the folder the files are in!

job done!
 
Installed (fresh install) and running great. Even on the first boot I could actually notice how slick and responsive Snow Leopard is.

Only issues so far:

Growl doesn't work

iStumbler doesn't work

iPhoto doesn't detect my mobile phone (which just acts as a MSD) as it did perfectly fine under Leopard :confused:

Growl's working fine here. There seems to be so many different apps that aren't working for some and are for others. All very odd.

It depends on the application - if they're using proper portable code. A lot of this is down to sloppy programming that people could get away with. Other issues are todo with programmers continuing to use depreciated API interfaces which is another sloppy practice.
 
I'm rebuilding my Mac Pro now with a fresh install after a few peculiarities. I'm also doing a zero of the drive first. I have a Time Machine backup and two SuperDuper!s in case things go pear shaped.

What kind of particularities Feek ? Seems everyone's experiencing one or two.
 
Mainly Spotlight related, it started losing folders and documents and even though I tried the common fixes it still wouldn't play ball. Add to that the strange characters I reported earlier and because I use it as
my main launcher I figured a blat and reinstall couldn't hurt.
 
Not bought an upgrade yet, I have one question.

Does it come with an awesome wallpaper of a snow leapord? Seriously lol.
 
Why is everyone doing a fresh install?

I just got my iMac 3 weeks ago, and wondering if i need to do that.....and i am worried about my photos on there which might be lost ! lol Is Time Machine THAT good? How do i check it has backed up my photos?
