As a matter of fact, this was also the case on my MacBook Air.
Snapz pro x 2.6.1 mac reviews install#
The only thing that seemed a little weird so far was that after the install on my MacBook Pro, I could no longer tap the trackpad with two fingers and get a contextual menu (right click). Now the app shows you way more detail about the images you’re bringing in including the EXIF data and Location (GPS) data too! I was pleasantly surprised by the complete redesign of this app in SL. I use Image Capture quite a bit to download the photos and screen captures taken with my iPhone. I turned this on and within a couple of seconds it detected where I was (using Wi-Fi hotspots). Well now SL will do it for you based on your location. However, I usually never reset my computer’s clock or time zone to the local time. I travel between time zones all the time. So the chances of getting a connection now should be much better.
Now Apple has implemented work arounds to get around router conflicts. I had pretty much given up on iChat for video chats because it only worked with about half of my buddies on my buddy list. I’m also looking forward to testing the iChat fixes/enhancements now that I have a kid who will be away at college. Otherworld Computing is reporting speed gains in Photoshop CS4 too. It launched in half the time that it normally takes. I’m really liking the speed! The overall OS is snappier, but the first time I noticed the speed increase was when I launched Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 (running it in 64bit mode). I like being able to re-order the side bar in Mail (a long time frustration).

The QuickTime Player also get’s easier trimming and the ability to share a movie right to YouTube, MobileMe or iTunes. I’ll still use my other apps like iShowU and Screenflow, but it’s nice to have this built-in to the OS. I love the ability now to use the QuickTime Player to record my screen. For one, I like the ability to now put the date up in the menu bar (without a hack). However, in my few days of using it there are some things (little things) that I’m liking. If you want the complete blow-by-blow feature list, it’s here. Like I said last week, most of what’s new is under the hood.
It worked perfectly and the Super Drive is still in the shrinkwrap. I clicked on Remote Disc on the MacBook Air and within a few seconds I was installing Snow Leopard on the MacBook Air. So I put the Snow Leopard DVD in one of my iMacs and enabled CD/DVD sharing.

However, this was the first major OS upgrade that I’ve had since getting the MacBook Air last year and I still wanted to see if I could do this without opening that Super Drive. So far I have been doing just fine without it. I wanted to see if Apple’s claims were true and that I could get by with a Mac with no optical drive. I still have it in the original shrinkwrap. Installing it on my MacBook Air – When I bought the MacBook Air for home/family use, I also bought the external Super Drive. The installation took somewhere between 40-60 minutes on each of my Macs. This is good as I wanted to do this option to hopefully clear up a few weird issues I was having with Leopard (see "What got fixed" later).

I still never got a chance to choose Archive and Install over Upgrade, but that OK since it appears that Snow Leopard (SL) now does an Archive and Install by default. However, I just thought that since it only takes a few megabytes, why not at least alert the user and give them the option to install it without the user having to know to enable it it via the Customize feature?

Now the good news here is that reports say that if you didn’t install Rosetta and you try to run an app that needs it, Mac OS X will offer to install it right then and there via the Software Update utility. While most people are probably OK here, I have a couple of apps that aren’t Intel native. Rosetta is Apple’s technology to run non-intel native apps (apps built for PowerPC) on an intel Mac. The first thing is that Rosetta is no longer installed by default. Good thing I did, because there are some defaults you need to be aware of. So I canceled it! Yep, I stopped the installation a few minutes after it got started because I wanted to verify some options. I expected to get to choose between an Upgrade and Archive and Install and the next thing I know, it was installing and I never saw the usual options. The Snow Leopard Installer was quite different than the Leopard installer. As with most Mac OS X installs the package contained the installation DVD and simple brochure that covered the basic installation steps and the top new features. I was ready to install the minute I opened the package.
My copy of Snow Leopard (Family Pack) arrived via FedEx Friday afternoon and since I had already done a clone backup using SuperDuper and of course I stay backed up with Time Machine too.
