We were able to get our hands on the latest Mac OS 10.5 code named Leopard. According to Apple, Leopard carries 300 new features. To unleash all Leopard has to deliver, we decided to give it a try on a Macbook (white, 2.0 Ghz, 512mb ram, 60gb hd etc.)
Leopard, just like its predecessors (panther, tiger etc.) gives you 3 install options:
- Upgrade:
Install the new OS on top of current used OS, which is in majority of cases will be Tiger. - Archive & Install
Apple’s preferred method in which previous settings are kept in an archive - Clean Install
Our preferred method, which makes sure that a Fresh OS is installed leaving behind any issues to worry about
Which ever method you chose, precursor to Installation activity should be “Backup”. Backup all and everything which you worry about. Check Apple support site to read about this topic in detail. We Backed-up the following data:
Thats pretty much everything about you. If you store data in folders on Mac HD, you should definitely also backup that data. Backup, Backup all and everything before venturing into the actual installation process.
Also, upgrade your Firmware before heading for installation. Majority of bad installations were caused due to old firmwares.
Hard Disk condition is also a big issue. Check through Disk Utility, placed in Applications > Utility section for an updated review of your Hard Disk.
The installation process takes about 45 minutes approx. to finish off smoothly. Following is a list of known bugs, which are the first to hit any major OS launch.
- Faulty Media/Disk:
Before installation process kicks-off, the Disk is checked for consistency. Under NO circumstances Skip the process, its better to check the media before bumping in middle of the install (We faced this error big time) - BSOD (Blue Screen of Death):
This one makes Windows crowd proud. After a complete install, the OS appears to be prone to errors like windows. Apple support have number of reasons mentioned for this error. - OS Login Screen Stall:
Either the Grey Screen before Login or the Blue Screen after Login”Stalls”. Apple has listed many reasons for it in the support section
We think that many of the errors mentioned above are due to usual Upgrade method chose. If we were to select, Clean Install is the best option.
As usual, feel free to email us on support@shophive.com your questions / queries and we’ll dig in answers for you.
You read us right, its true. A group of hackers are successful in getting into the Mac fortress. But there are few important things to note here.
- It only affected those people who accepted to download a fake Codec dmg
- When the app is mounted, they themselves agreed to install it
The payload of the Trojan was set to alter the DNS table to hacker sites. But innovation can be made, therefore the word is Caution to keep your eyes open and keep your fingers in control.

These are some first day remarks collected from the web on Leopard Installation. Overall the Tech community is thrilled with the new OS and it does deliver what was promised.

The HP LaserJet 1020 Printer, an excellent laser printer for the cost-conscious user, delivers high-quality LaserJet printing in a compact size, and at a price you can afford (at the time of writing this post Rs. 7990/-). The CD which comes in the box DOES NOT contain drivers for Mac OS X. On looking up for drivers at HP site, one comes to know that the printer is NOT supported by Mac OS X. But we made it working
Goolging the topic came up with many results, but Macworld forum provided the best support.The relevant portion is pasted below:
Heres a recap for everyone to Install HP LaserJet 1020 on Mac OSX.
1) Download; http://www.narc.ca/1601-LJ_1022_Series_OSX.dmg (Old version)
2) If you have anything for the HP 1020 in “/Library/Reciepts” delete it.
3) Delete anything for the HP 1020 in Printer in “Printer Setup Utility”
4) Add new printer in “Printer Setup Utility”, select HP LaserJet 1020, driver should come up, click ADD
Basically, the trick is we are installing HP 1022 drivers which are available for Mac OS X. Steps 2 and 3 are required if you have unsuccessfully tried to install anything from the CD.
The above method though worked like a charm on one macbook, but failed to even Install on another machine. After trying for few hours, we finally copy pasted the files which were installed on the first machine.
Paste this file under the folder tree as shown in the picture. For clarity, Under your Username, select library, open Printers folder. If you have not previously installed any driver, it will be empty.
Copy this Folder in the folder location as shown in the image above. The location is Macintosh HD > Library > Printers > HP > LaserJet > here!
This work around is pretty solid, but we do suggest to always purchase equipment which is Made to Run on Mac.
