i was reading a review of leopard, just to figure out if everyone else thought Apple released this way too soon like i did, the review i read asserted that leopard was the dirtiest release yet, but also most worthwhile. i guess i would agree. i would prefer to have it rather than wait even longer, even if i have to dual boot, which i incidentally did so i can go back to my working copy of tiger (two hard drives).

first of all, i can’t sync my .mac. WHAT THE FU**? the MOST useful feature of a mac is the .mac syncing where all your settings preferences bookmarks mail rules etc (screw commas) follow you around to all of your computers. and most of the time, it works fine.

now when i try to sync my keychain (the only non-working part) it is asking me for my password on my other computer (old tiger installation). thats fine, but what isn’t fine is that it won’t take the password. no matter what i do. it refuses to work. even resetting the data fails with the same problem. okay whatever, i manually imported my keychain for now. im hoping they fix it soon. im hoping they know about it.

more annoying is the problem with my iphone. wth?!!!

For purposes of indexing “The iPhone “****” cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.”

also annoying is how all the apps seems much faster, but the UI all seems more sluggish.

i LOVE the new print dialog. yes, there are some really really cool features. i just wish the most valuable features worked better. and that apple published known issues so people could rest assured they were working on it, not stew about how they are going to get this piece of crap working again.

[UPDATE]: This iPhone issue was caused by some errant permissions remaining from my old installation. Apparently if I were to migrate rather than clean install Leopard my iPhoto library might have been copied and had the proper privileges set on it rather than just being copied. That action resulted in the following:

Basically i needed to reset permissions on my iPhoto Library. Please note, the Disk Utility repair permissions action did NOT fix this. Needs to be done manually.
