Non Traslucent Menu Bar In Leopard

You're viewving a non traslucent menu bar in leopard, and you dont' why? Apple explains why it occurs. The problem is because the graphics card is not compatible with Core Image.

"Some graphics cards, such as an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, may not have the necessary OpenGL capabilities to display a translucent menu bar even though they are compatible with Core Image. Those cards should render most effects, but not the translucent menu bar."

Leopard: Serious Error, Copiyng Files

A serious error has discovered on leopard. If the connection is lost when you're moving data from network or external drive, the files that you're moving will be lost. I think apple knows this big error and is working hard to repair it. I expect in the next week a Leopard update will be released.

Mac Os X Leopard Upgrade DVD

I have received the DVD the last Monday, as you can see in the photo the DVD doesn't have box with tridimensional logo. The package only contains the "Wellcome Book" and the DVD. Another interesting thing is before you install it the installation program scan the computer finding the Tiger image to upgrade. Conclusion: if you have a blank mac you can't install leopard with this DVD, you must to install Tiger first and then updgrade.

Also I try to install Leopard in a old Power Mac G4 400 Mhz and the installation program verifies the MAC type, and if is not supported you can't install it. Really in this computer sometimes Tiger runs slowly, I think the OS X update on this computes has finished. :(

Using an iPod as Mac Os X Start Up Disk

It's very easy. Only we need to put the iPod as disk mode, an then install the OS in the iPod. You can install it, without restart the computer, using the next executable in the Mac Os X DVD : \System\Installation\Packages\OSInstall.mpkg.

The next steep to start from the ipod is restart the computer, pushing alt key to select the start disk. This utilitie will find bootable OS in all the computer units. And the iPod must appear.

I test it with FireWire 400 Mbps and it runs well. You can use it if you want to have different OS versions.
