Leopard-ready

AirPort Admin Utility for older Base Stations now Leopard-ready

AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5

The AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow for Mac OS X 10.4 or later software supports the original Apple AirPort Graphite and Snow (Dual Ethernet) Base Stations. This update provides compatibility for Mac OS X v10.5 or later.

The newer AirPort Utility (v5.3.1 or later) should be used for Time Capsule, and AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express Base Stations.

Note:

Acrobat 8 Update for Leopard the last big patch for 10.5?

Though it hasn’t been posted as a downloadable file on Adobe’s site yet, an update to Acrobat 8 Professional that brings the app up to v8.1.2 is available. To access it, go to the Help menu in Acrobat 8 Professional and choose “Check for Updates” and it should make itself known to you.

According to Adobe blogger Adam Pratt this update represents “the last big patch…to achieve a streamlined Leopard system.” Having not upgraded my production machine to Leopard and because I rarely do any strenuous graphical “lifting” on my Leopardified MacBook Pro, I’m wondering if Pratt’s statement is in fact true: is the Adobe Creative Suite now officially Leopard-ready? How have your experiences been so far? Let us know in the Forums.

Hazel 2.1 adds Leopard compatibility

hazel 20070802 204825 Hazel 2.1 adds Leopard compatibilityThe things we love about our Macs don’t always come out of Cupertino. Many of our favorite Mac things are shareware apps that make the Mac experience even better. It is often those software jewels that can keep us from enjoying a new operating system like the soon-to-be-released Leopard–it just isn’t the same unless we can bring those apps with us.

Hazel lovers need not worry. Noodlesoft’s housekeeper for your folders and files is now Leopard-ready as of version 2.1. This version also features expanded file type filtering and new actions for creating aliases and revealing files. In addition, Hazel 2.1 provides numerous fixes and performance improvements.

I demonstrated Hazel on The Lab with Leo Laporte earlier this year in a segment spotlighting ways to keep your hard drive from overflowing unnecessarily. Using Hazel’s powerful rule engine, you can easily create workflows that keep your files organized automatically. Hazel also features options for managing your Trash and includes an intuitive application uninstaller.

Hazel 2.1 is a free upgrade for existing registered users and is available for download now. Hazel has a retail price of USD$21.95.
