If you're a Windows 7 beta user, Snow Leopard has a treat for you and that's Boot Camp 3.0. Make sure you install Rosetta if you have anything left over from the PPC generation. I'm you're a casual home user, who uses Apple branded software like iLife and nothing else, then it might be safe for you to proceed. If you have a mission critical work flow that depends on tweaky apps like Sticky Windows, then maybe you should wait until those apps are Snow Leopard certified. I mean, Jesus Christ, people, give me a break! No, they're not referring to the Pre, Palm's pre-eminent iPhone killer, they're talking about the old Palm OS, the one that Palm is slowly phasing out. It looks like Palm OS devices have been locked out of Snow Leopard. Of course, that hasn't stopped the Fake Outrage Brigade at places like CNET from complaining about omissions in iSync. Developers have had versions of Snow Leopard close to two years running. In fact, most of the incompatibility problems aren't Apple's fault. The latest version of EyeTV, 3.1.2, has been coded to work with Snow Leopard, but you can't get that version without actually updating it directly in EyeTV 3.0, which won't even open in Snow Leopard and the company that makes EyeTV, Elgato, doesn't provide a download for 3.1.2 (obviously because of piracy concerns) on their web site.įrankly, the problem with EyeTV isn't Apple's fault. I've had problems with the EyeTV and Crossover Games. Hey, but if you can't trust a site called "PC World" for Mac news, who can you trust?īut just to help out, let me reiterate. Me thinks that PC World is padding the list. Macromedia doesn't even exist as a company anymore. So PCWorld is actually being truthful by saying that Flip4Mac is having problems, but not for the reasons you might think.Īnd the inclusion of Macromedia FreeHand, an app that hasn't been supported by any OS for years, is just ludicrous. Unless you navigate Snow Leopard to Quicktime 7, it won't open the file (solution: just use VLC) The problem with this is that the people at Apple moved Quicktime 7 to the Utilities folder. Apps like Flip4Mac actually work fine, it's just that Flip4Mac was actually coded for Quicktime Player 7, so Snow Leopard will automatically search for Quicktime 7 in the Applications folder when you play a WMV video file. Snow Leopard has been completely rewritten. The first thing that struck me about this list is the fact that most of these apps are actually tweak tools for Leopard, so of course they're going to have problems with Snow Leopard. Here it is below:īackup Bouncer, Books, Boxee, Butler, Camino, CheckPoint SecureClient, ClamXav, Cocktail, ConceptDraw Pro, DataBackup, Dave, Disc Inventory X, DiskWarrior 4.1, Electricsheep, Fallout II, Flip4Mac 2.3.0.7, Forklift, Fruit Menu, Google Gears, iStat Menus, iStumbler, Leopard Cache Cleaner, Leopard Cache Cleaner, Macromedia FreeHand MX 11.0.2, MailFX Pro, MenuMeters, Mirage, NodeToad, OneSwarm, PGP Desktop, Plex, Protector Suite, QuicKeys 4.0.3, RealVNC, Reader Notifier, Apple Server Admin 10.5.3, SmartScroll, Sonos 3.0, Sticky Windows, TinkerTool, TivoDesktop, Undercover, Vectorworks, WindowShadeX, WireTap Studio, and X-Lite. Of course, this hasn't stopped PC World from releasing their own list of software that have been reported to have problems with Snow Leopard. Apple actually provides a list of incompatible software here: The first target was CS3, which like CS2 actually works with the installation of Rosetta. Okay, so the tech media and the neck beards that make up the Fake Outrage Brigade (Anti-Apple bloggers) having been reporting a fair bit of hysteria involving stuff that's broken with Snow Leopard.
