Leopard Installation Issues!

Published by admin on November 11, 2007 in Apple Inc. and Laptops. 4 Comments

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:

  1. Upgrade:
    Install the new OS on top of current used OS, which is in majority of cases will be Tiger.
  2. Archive & Install
    Apple’s preferred method in which previous settings are kept in an archive
  3. 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:

Mac OS X User Profile

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.
