just wondering if my G4 ibook (with 1G RAM) which is 2 years old be able to handle leopard?

Went to KLCC Machine, they said, any computer bought from now on will get Leopard disk for free!!! They only charge RM32 for delivery.

Can anybody instruct me ?
I need help from you all.
I got my MB since last year June and i got a voucher as shown above.
Do I have any special rates for the new Leopard OSX?

No, your coupon isn't for the Leopard and moreover you bought your MacBook last year.

guys i'm planning to get macbook @RM4199.....spoke to a guy from mac city at amcorp mall...said that OS leopard may not be fully use in this spec....is it true just because is 80gb and 2.0ghz??? he recommend me the RM4999 which is 120gb and 2.16ghz??? need you guys advice.....dont want to regret....

free then charge?

wired!

Ala.. he just trying to push his products out.. don't worry la.. 1.83Ghz machine also will do fine just add in additional 1Gb and you ae good to go.

why it is not recommend for macbook to make a partition for using the time machine ?

It's because even you have 320GB (let's say you upgrade or something), and let's assume your main partition is 200GB, and your other partition is 120GB. so, in order to make a good restore using Time Machine, you will need a partition that is almost as big as your boot drive which is 200GB in order to make a good restore. (assuming that you filled up 160GB of your boot drive)

So, in reality, your macbook can store up to 160GB, and i doubt anyone would be that idiotic to make 80GB as restore and having only 80GB for book drive, for me, it's not even enough to store my photos, videos and musics that i always want to keep it convenient inside my macbook.

But this is not the case with Imac and Mac Pro where you can have TB inside. and having partitioned it for time machine would seems wiser.

Even Apple states the minimum specs for Leopard, the min proc speed is around 900mhz. We are talking about intel macbook here, and the minimum is supposed to refer to old G4 PPC.
but if you have the extra cash to spend. why not just squeeze out a couple of, let's say 800 bucks for an addition of 40GB and 0.16Ghz. haha! every GB counts, because now i am a bit regreting not to get a bigger drive. 120GB is merely enough for me. and for best performance, it's recommended that your boot drive has to be at least 33% free.

Let's calculate something here, let's say you want the 80GB, and that leaves you only actual 53.6GB for all your musics, movies, pictures and most of all apps! Apps for mac consumes lots of space compared to other OS (observed with several apps across different OS) Because if you consume more than 67% of your boot drive space, your mac will run slower and slower. Unless you dont mind.

53.6Gb minus the OS and ilife, essential apps = around 40GB. Plus games? even Ipod classic has bigger drive than the macbook. quite pathetic.

*shout! oi apple, cant you just upgrade the drive size a bit more?

i heard that the latest OS got a lot of bugs, and blue screen... is it true???

Hi everyone, wanna ask a question as my english isnt that good. I'm curious in the 2nd page of the update form the part where they state

QTY : ( ) x Rm395 = ( )

i tot it was Rm 39 for up to date order, but how come Rm395?

anyone send the form alreayd ? thanks hope you guys could help me

it's true if you have APE installed on your mac,
http://unsanity.com/haxies/ape/
so what you need to go is to uninstall it before you install leopard on your mac,
if you still face the BSOD on your mac, then choose archive and install as a second options
read them from digg

So lets say... you successfully installed leopard all running smoothly... is it safe than to install APE??? anyone tried this yet?

Is it even necessary to install APE coz Leopard is a powerful OS u know..

How much memory you need to work with Time Machine??? 200GB???

yeah, i would like to know too...

So meaning that it shouldnt have any problem.....but chances are that i may experiences lack of space on the hdd and eventually can slow down the mac......cause i also plan to install either windows xp or vista.......for my bootcamp........

Believe it or not, Leopard sold to the public is Build 9a581 seed privately to developers. And that why hack version manage to release on the same day (26th)

The unsanity thing is for eye candy, it is for those peeps that love customization.
Time machine will work whatever size you have, it will let you know if your backup drive is too low in space.
