Leopard Software Update?

Hi guys,

received my copy of Leopard today and after a few teething problems it looks like my Black MacBook is running OSX 10.5.

One small bug/hitch/issue that I was wondering if anyone else had encountered, I've tried clicking on software update on my Apple menu but I get the following error message when I try:

The file “index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “swscan.apple.

This is apparently a problem on Apple's server.

What teething issues did you have? Is it a C2D or a CD CPU?

The software update is probably not online yet for Leopard, give it a day or so. I'd definately run that before installing Leopard, to make sure all the latest patches (probably containing Leopard compatibility fixes) are on prior to the upgrade.

So it should work when Apple sorts out things on their neck of the woods? Is this a common problem?

The install DVD didn't recognize my hard drive initially so it refused to install- I had to run the disk utility and check the volume. Installed fine after that.

iTunes also refused to work - I deleted some plugins that were not Leopard compatible and now it's booting up with no issues.

Software update for Leopard has been online for some time now. Many of the developer drops were done that way.

luso leopard, did you do a full reformat?

Yes, there's a problem though with the shipping version and Apple's servers. It's a widespread issue, documented at MacFixit.

However, I just ran it while I typed this and it looks like it's back to working.

That's kind of sad actually. Are there any updates yet?

Nothing leopard specific no.

My bad on the update availability.

I know there are some further iLife '08 updates for Leopard, but they have been out for a few days.

Everything went fine on the install on my Mac mini, updates included...only 4 more upgrades to go....LOL

Got the iLife 08 and remote desktop upgrades but my bootcamp assistant keeps telling me I need to update my system even though no more updates are available! I've reinstalled 10.5 twice now and i still get the same error. Its driving me crazy as I can't dump my old Windows PC until I get bootcamp up and running

I just fixed this problem!! I had my 250GB drive set-up with 2 partitions and Boot Camp would only let me install windows if the internal drive was set as 1 partition! I'm so happy I got this working

Installation of Leopard

Just installed Leopard onto a Mac Mini without any issues apart from the Finder locking up but a simple reboot fixed that.

Love it so far!

No Ricoh, I updated.

I've also run a software update this morning and its working. Now I just need to decide which upgrade I'm gonna play with first...
