Hello, tomorrow. The biggest Mac OS X upgrade ever, Leopard features 300+ innovations. Explore the Mac of the future today. Create Stacks from anything to access quickly in one place. Enjoy a gorgeous new look and organize your files in Stacks. Desktop. A neat place to work. From the menu bar to the stunning new Dock, the Leopard desktop isn't just about design. It's about enjoying the time you spend on your computer and getting more out of it. An eye-opening experience. Start from the top. The menu bar hovers transparently above your workspace, letting the desktop image--perhaps a favorite from your iPhoto library--take center stage. Dock icons rest on a reflective floor with a bright active application signal. And the look of Leopard extends to all applications: Every window has a consistent design theme, and active applications are even more distinct, casting deeper shadows. Stacked in your favor. Take a look at your desktop. Is it cluttered with files you downloaded or saved there (somewhat less than) temporarily? You're not alone. Everybody does it. Time to clean house with Stacks--a brand-new feature in Leopard. Create Stacks from anything you want to access quickly from one place: a handful of documents, a group of applications, an entire folder. Files you download in Safari or save from an email are automatically directed to a Stack in the Dock, and when the download is complete, the Stack signals that a new item has arrived. When you want to see the files in a Stack, all you have to do is click--Stacks spring open from the Dock in an elegant arc for a few items, or in an at-a-glance grid for more. Pretty neat. Browse your files like you browse your music with Cover Flow. Finder. Give your files the rock star treatment. Imagine if browsing the files on your Mac was as easy as browsing music in iTunes. That's the idea behind the new Finder in Leopard. Now you can access everything on your system from an iTunes-style sidebar and flip through your files using Cover Flow. Grouped sidebar items help you find what you need fast. The sidebar steps up. Leopard brings new power to your old friend, the sidebar. Now items are grouped into categories: places, devices, shared computers, and searches--just like the Source list in iTunes. So with a single click, you're on your way to finding what you need. See what you seek. Bring your files to life with Cover Flow in the Finder. Just as you use Cover Flow to flip through album art in iTunes, now you can use it to flip through your files. Cover Flow displays each file as a large preview of its first page. And you can page through multipage documents or play movies. Search party. Stop looking and start finding with Cover Flow and Spotlight. Click a prebuilt search like "yesterday" or "all images" in the sidebar and Cover Flow displays your search results in the perfect at-a-glance format. Leopard comes with a number of helpful prebuilt searches, but it's easy to create your own customized searches as well. Closer connections. With shared computers automatically displayed in the sidebar, it's far easier to find or access files on any computer in your house, whether Mac or PC. All it takes is a click. But here's where things get really interesting. By clicking on a connected Mac, you can see and control that computer (if authorized, of course) as if you were sitting in front of it. You can even search all the computers in the house to find what you're looking for. And now, back to my Mac. Ever need something on your Mac when you were thousands of miles from home? With Back to My Mac and a .Mac account, you can connect to any of your Macs at home from any Mac on the Internet. Your home computers will appear in the shared section of the sidebar just as they do when you're in the living room. Improved spotlight searches. Look deeper. From the Finder or the menu bar, Spotlight in Leopard lets you search for more specific sets of things. Use Boolean logic to narrow search results by entering "AND," "OR," or "NOT" into a search request. You can also search for exact phrases (using quotation marks), dates, ranges (using greater than [>] and less than [

I would like to know if somebody can help me. I bought an Apple MacBook Pro MC118LL/A 15.4-Inch Laptop and it cames with Snow Leopard Operation System. I have a program that doesn't go with this OS. What I want to know is if I buy the OS Leopard, an older version, can I install in this Mac book?

It installed with no issues and I love the new look and feel. It seems like it runs much faster, too.

Received and installed without issues, however mailboxes were empty. Called Apple and found this was an old revision, updated to 10.5.8. Still no mail archive. Apple led me thru aprocess that recovered the data, which was sleeping in the library. The folks at Apple were very patient and helpful. My computer is now working great although the battery seemed to run down faster (went from ~2 hrs to 1 hr). I have a 5 year old machine and so purchased new battery that has noticeably longer life (2.5+ hrs).

Great O.S. update by James W. Ingersoll

This is the absolute best price for an operating system. I don't think it would be such a great product if it cost the same as a regular operating system. The install was trouble free. I am using it on a modbook by axiotron, so I was a little nervous at first. It turns out that there is nothing to worry about.If you have a macbook or another type of intel mac I recommend this purchase, but only the 29 dollar upgrade. It is not very cost effective for over one hundred dollars in that situation justget a new mac and the new o.s. is included for free.

Very Good System, Even For PPC by Chris Hillman (Lowell, MA United States)

Sept. 10th, 2009 It's clear that my 10.5 Leopard will be the newest OS my PowerBook will ever run, and I thought I may as well write a (long overdue) review of Leopard, which I've been running for nearly a year now. By the time I upgraded to Leopard, my PowerBook had been running extremely fast under Tiger 10.4, with my RAM recently upped to 2.0GB. When I initially "upgraded" to 10.5.6, I suddenly found that my system seemed MUCH slower. Patches had to be installed in order to use Final Cut Express 3.5 (upgraded to 3.5.1). Overall responsiveness was lacking. But I did notice the good things: vastly improved Mail functions, interactivity between Mail, Address Book, Safari, iCal, etc. MUCH better interface than any previous version of the Mac OS (or any OS, really). And the best improvement (if you have one of the multi-touch machines, as I do): "right-click" is enabled under Leopard. This is achieved with two fingers on the touchpad combined with a click. By the time of the 10.5.7 update, the PowerBook ran as fast if not faster than it did under Tiger. Some apps launch faster, even. As of this writing, I run 10.5.8 on the larger partition of a Tiger/Leopard system. Leopard runs better & looks better than Tiger (even though I expected Tiger to at least feel "snappier"). I use Tiger for "Classic" applications, even though it's rare. Only gripe with Leopard: I think it's a "cover-flow" issue under Finder, but if there's "media" in a folder, and my iTunes NAS drive is not mounted, I get a staggering number of error messages explaining as much. Solution: keep a "dummy" iTunes folder in Documents, then replace it under "Music" when I'm out. No problems, except that it was a non-issue in Tiger. Still, Leopard is terrific, even for the later PowerPC machines.
