Mac Forum / General / General / May 2008any problems with Leopard on G5s?
I work at a leading edge newspaper publisher and we are upgrading our system from G4s running OS9 to G5s running Tiger or Leopard. One of the bosses said they had heard there were problems with Leopard on G5s. Is that true? If so, what problems? Leopard runs great on my intel MBP. I think it's the best, most stable system Apple has produced. Thanks O.  SignatureO.

It may be useful to find out what particular applications are required to run, and see if there are any issues with those. SignatureAndy Hewitt <http://web.mac.com/andrewhewitt1/> O.

Andy Hewitt: > Leading edge? and 'upgrading' to G5s!!! Yeah, why not? They're not in the leading edge computer business, they're in the leading edge publishing business. They _could_ be casting type in lead and using a hand press and still be a leading-edge publisher. Davoud Signatureusenet *at* davidillig dawt com > O. Hendersen: > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > casting type in lead and using a hand press and still be a leading-edge > publisher. OK, but my point was, what was the point of mentioning it? It's the context in which is was used, just a bit unnecessary. SignatureAndy Hewitt <http://web.mac.com/andrewhewitt1/> > O. Hendersen: > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Davoud IT WAS A JOKE. We've been whining for years about the antique equipment and software we're forced to use. The company isn't leading edge in ANY way... except perhaps in penny-pinching. I suppose we shouldn't be too pissed off that we're getting CS2. SignatureO. Hendersen ohendersen@yahoo.com > > O. Hendersen: > > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > perhaps in penny-pinching.

Perhaps you should suggest they get Gimp! - that'd *really* save some pennies :-) Joking apart, if they really need to work to a budget, have they really considered any of the open source stuff out there, there's quite a lot, and IIRC you can get something to cover most aspects of publishing. SignatureAndy Hewitt <http://web.mac.com/andrewhewitt1/> > ... I suppose we shouldn't be too pissed off that we're getting CS2. Ahah, more information. Perhaps what your boss heard was that there are problems with 10.5 and CS. This is correct. You can get a measure of them by reading forums such as Macintouch applications, Adobe: <http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/applications/topic3000.html> The first appropriate entry is Sep 19, 2007, where Adobe's CEO guarantees CS3 (note that's *3*, NOT 2) will work with Leopard. Continue on from there to see other's experiences. Best of luck. You may need it. --Fred > > ...

Continue > on from there to see other's experiences. My experience running CS2 on my dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5 tower is it mostly works okay. Now, I'm not running all CS2 applications daily, so my experience would probably differ from a graphic artist. I do use Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign occasionally without problem though.

I think it's > the best, most stable system Apple has produced. I saw some test results (maybe at http://www.barefeats.com/) which showed PPC Macs suffering a slight performance hit compared with running same apps in Tiger. (The progression from Jaguar to Panther to Tiger actually saw a speed increase. Leopard finally went slightly the other way, at least on PPC) Bear in mind that with Leopard you lose the Classic environment. This may be significant if you are working alongside some G4s on OS9.

If so, what problems? No significant problems here to report on several Power Mac G5 towers. Then again, I'm sure if you look, you can find *someone* who has had an issue or two - Google is your friend. SignaturePlease send all responses to the relevant news group.

Well, yeah, of course, but if we're talking about specific issues with Leopard unique to G5s, I haven't heard of any.

Wake from sleep in Leopard on that machine is a guaranteed, repeatable lockup. There have been other reports of this, but not a sufficient number to say that it is a deal breaker.

I have mine running with the stock 5200FX card now, replacement cards just seem to cause wake from sleep issues. Some PCI cards do this too - especially USB expansion cards.
