I spent a week in FL with my folks in March trying to help them get their new computer set up...Vista was designed by SATAN!!! :bluduh
Queenie it is no hassles at all..i just did it & honestly apart from the odd 'wheres this' or 'how do i do that' question..it is almost seamless. Its a better machine without doubt.
upgrade install, so far so good with apps. the only thing that's not so good is the coverflow, my preview images look like crap, super low res. if I hadn't seen gus's the other day, I wouldn't think much of it, but it is truly bad.
i am surprised that it ate up another 6gb worth of space. shouldn't it kind of install itself over the old OS, or is it just that much bigger?

What computer are you using that you see low res cover flow?
Apple should be better about informing people about the upgrades and what is installed. It would be best to do a custom install and not install gigs of print drivers, that is what a huge portion of the upgrade is. I trim down what is installed, but I cannot simply plug into any printer.

MacBook Pro
and yeah, I used Macaroni to lose about a gb worth of languages
I'll be doing the opposite in a couple of months, I will be getting a MacBook Pro, and I want to copy the programs etc from my MacPro. Will migration assistant leave everything functional on the MacPro? Will it move Lightroom and CS3, and my MS Office to the notebook? Oh, and lastly, will I have to upgrade to Leopard on the MacPro to do this? I was planning on doing that anyway, but not yet....
This would be truly AWESOME, and be a huge time saver for sure!!!
I dont have cs3 or MS office installed on my MBP so I can't say for sure about them, however It got every single one of my other applications including all their preferences. It's seriously like i just plugged the HD from my MBP into my Mac Pro.

You don't need to upgrade, but I wouldn't move from Leopard to Tiger, if that's what you're asking.
It will not remove anything from the source machine. It will move all applications if you tell it to.
I think I have Tiger now don't I? Whatever came with the MacPro... I know the new notebook will come with the new OS, Leopard right? I was just concerned that I would not be able to migrate from the OLD OS to the new OS... It must just be leftover paranoia from my Windows days!
Thanks DavidTO!
I am really looking forward to my new laptop, my Sharp is getting pretty tired, with an AMD 64 2700+ and 512MB RAM, it has a really hard time with my 1DIIN files, even MEDIUM .jpegs take quite a while to open/close on CS2. I am sure the new Mac with more RAM, and a way faster processor, and of course CS3 will make quick work of those files.
Did I read that the new OSX is having issues with Lightroom?
I've found the same thing with some PS files that only have little bitty thumbs, and no embedded preview. It's the PS file, not Leopard.
so far I haven't found a SINGLE jpg that looks good in coverflow, they all look like tiny thumbs. I don't do anything special to my files to save space or anything, so why is it that "all" mine look low-res and "all" of gus's looked big and gorgeous.
*when I say "all" I obviously don't mean I've checked all several thousand image files on my machine, but a very good portion from several folders over a few years.

I'm pretty sure that it's PS and your settings for saving files, and that you're not embedding a preview. For me, it's only on PS files. Other images look great. Coverflow is beautiful. Really.
still doesn't make sense. coverflow can get into .avi .mov etc files and make a little preview, but it can't handle a simple .jpg to resize it's own preview image? not to mention how well (and quickly) it handles RAW file previews...

I think it's the way that PS saves them, really. Check your prefs if you want to stop it from happening in the future.
hmm, I was referring to the fact that PSD, TIF, JPG and some RAW (Canon at least) files provide for an embedded thumbnail. These files do not require a complete rendering, instead the thumbnail is provided for previews. Windows XP for example uses this in its 'thumbnail view'.
Intel Macbook max RAM?
Howdy...
I though my 6 month old Blacbook was maxed out at 2 GB RAM, but now on the Apple Website they say that the new Macbooks tap out with 4GB. Is it a different computer (or is Leopard?) or can I shove some 2GB cards in my "old" computer?
Many thanks.

I think it's the Intel chipset in use. The current one supports 4GB. Most of the rest of the computer is the same. It is the same reason iMacs and MacBook Pros went from supporting 3GB to 4GB RAM a few months ago. You cannot force an older version to recognize 4GB.
There was also an upgrade to the video subsystem. Otherwise they are still the same MacBooks.
Help! I uninstalled Lightroom on my macbook and tried to reinstall it from the disk, now it says "nothing to install" When I run the installer and it gets to "installation type" What can I do?
just noticed these bits in my console log- looked at it after you mentioned firewall - thought Id have alok

I think I didthat a while back and did a search for every LR or lightroom file and deleted the lot manually , thenit let me reinstall
OK, so I got LR 1.3 installed and imported my backed up catalogue, but now the program is freezing shortly after load up. Has anyone else had this problem??

Yes you did, some details here from Adobe.

Glad to help, hopefully Adobe will release the Lightroom update soon.
So, after a few days:
it's beta
it's overly simplified in many ways
but it's oh-so easy to set up a relational database
and it looks to be exactly what I needed!!!!
