Hi,
Since installing Leopard on my new iMac 24 which came preloaded with Tiger (doing an A&I, I don't have a backup drive), I have had several glitches and a few questions:
Airport kicks me out of the LAN every so often and when I try re-accessing the network, sometimes a simple click on my default network works and other times I have to go into network diagnostics and input the default values which should have been fetched from my keychain. Also, at times it tells me that it can't connect to my router which sits about 10" away from the iMac.
I thought that maybe my Airport Extreme Base Station might have been faulty but i have an older iMac 17 (Tiger) on the network and it never loses it's connection.
Also, before buying the new iMac, I had a wireless network setup with co-workers (using Macs and PC's) to work on a web development project and these people created 3 or 4 network setups that still show when I click on my Airport icon, how do I get rid of those? They don't show in the network setup list. When I first got the new iMac, I did a "migration" of all data that was on my older Mac and it probably imported all of this garbage.
As far as connecting to the internet using Airport, I'll hard wire my iMac to the router (Ethernet) and that should take the aggravation of being kicked off the internet every so often but I sure wish there would be a fix for this.
Does Leopard have the same sub routines to run the daily, weekly and monthly maintenance scripts? Being that I shut my computer off at night, I used to run MacJanitor, does this application run on Leopard?
What do I use to repair disk permissions under Leopard?
And last, I noticed some quirkiness with Camino under Leopard (especially with Bookmarks), would the "new and improved" Safari be a better browser?
Sorry for all of the above questions but I'm somewhat frustrated with Leopard and wonder if switching back to Tiger would be a better option.
Thanks,
Gene
