Re: [CGUYS] Apple Lied?
According to Elgato, the latest version should run but have a few issues with exporting, etc. My own experience with it in Snow Leopard is that it would take a long time to start up and then would get as far as showing the controller, but then I would get a spinning beach ball and no TV viewer and I would have to force quit it. Eventually, I got the TV window to show at times and I am not sure how, but what seems to work is to start up the application before plugging in the tuner, and I am still having to do that. If I forget, then subsequent attempts to launch the app will fail for me unless I force quit all the EyeTV processes in activity monitor. As I said, this is just my own experience. Elgato says that the most recent versions of their software should work under Snow Leopard except for minor issues, and I haven't seen my issue discussed on their forums. They have released a beta to address their known issues (look for it in their support section), but it hasn't fixed mine. Thankfully, the workaround I've come up with is only slightly inconvenient. I've filed a support ticket and expect a fix will be issued eventually. This EyeTV issue is my only real problem with Snow Leopard so far, and it is not enough to make me want to go back to plain ol' Leopard. From: jor17...@gmail.com Ahh, thanks for the comments. Can you be specific about the issues with EyeTV. I guess there aren't many of us using EyeTV but I'd be interested if EyeTV updates or OS updates fix the issues you are seeing. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
[CGUYS] Apple Lied?
MacWorld's extensive coverage of Snow Leopard makes me think Apple lied. This upgrade offers many significant improvements. Maybe Apple marketing isn't impressed because they want big flashy additions (which I'll probably never use). In contrast in Snow Leopard I'm seeing lots of things that will be constantly useful to me. I'm happy to get all these goodies for just $25 (Amazon's discounted price). http://www.macworld.com/article/142459/2009/08/snow_leopard.html?lsrc=top_1 * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I have been very pleased so far. Mason On Aug 29, 2009, at 11:21 AM, t.piwowar wrote: MacWorld's extensive coverage of Snow Leopard makes me think Apple lied.

The PC Mag review of Snow Leopard is pretty extensive and flattering as well. Back during all those early 90s versions of Windows, I wished they would stop the bloat and just try to make it work. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Apple Lied?
(sorry for forgetting to fix the subject line in the previous post) Well, I'm certainly happy so far. Everything I use works in the 32 bit kernel although EyeTV has a few issues and Office 2004 and some older games still need Rosetta to be installed. In the 64 bit kernel, EyeTV and Parallels don't work and Mathematica prompted me for my serial number but worked properly after that. In either kernel, just about everything is smoother, faster, better. Quicklook works for still more file types including FLV. I especially like that in Safari the Flash plugin runs as a separate process so it can't take down the browser. Also, I can quit the flash plugin process in Activity Monitor if I don't like how much CPU it is using or if I am getting annoyed by flash ads (like the particularly annoying ones that expand to cover the top of the article if you happen to mouse over them and then have to be manually dismissed in order to read the article).
