Update to Leopard Cause Blue screen

Before yesterday, when I was upgrading from Tiger to Leopard I had a more or less unpleasant incident ... Once the installation was completed successfully and rebooted the system, a nice blue screen gave me the 'welcome'.

Fortunately I had the most important files to another hard disk, if not ...
I thought it would be just my thing and should be simply to bad luck, but apparently there are many more people with this problem. The cause seems clear, and the blue screen on Leopard because Tiger had something 'retouched'.

For my part all I had was some icons of the modified system and Leopard was 'cock a mess' upgrading.

If you have applications such as Application Enhaced (users would blame mostly) save your data before upgrading.

Mac OS X Update 10.5.1

Apple today launched the first update to Leopard. In less than 1 month of Apple workers have been the batteries to further polish to Leopard.

The update comes Cargadito and are involved: Airport, Disk Utility, iCal, Mail, Print, Web, Firewall, Time Machine, Spotlight and other system upgrades.

Perhaps the biggest improvement and most remarkable is that Mac OS X 10.5.1 addresses the issue of data loss when moving files on partitions in the Finder.

It's funny how Apple's note of the update refers to this ruling as a 'potential problem'
The update weighs 39,8 MB and is available in Software Update.

The update to 10.5.1 I have not solved any of the bugs that suffered and still suffers from my iMac G5 has been a total disappointment, do not say things that are not have been solved, but my team will suffer the same or worse:

Disk Utility should withdraw the estimated time served for 1 minutes left to say when they are 15! The files with permission issues have switched from typical and single ARD Agent.app a huge list.

I still can boot the operating system on a disk via firewire boot disk (this has always worked perfectly in Tiger).

Connects to Windows computers automatically when it chooses not therefore appear in the Finder, and when it does or forces you to detect PCs still says connect as Guest.

Quick Look plugin that displays the contents of directories

Quick Look is a feature of Leopard that more use. It's tremendously useful that you can view the content of images, PDFs, text files ... without having to open the particular program that opens it. You save much time.

While it is true that home, Quick Look is not perfect. When you type 'space' (the key to activate Quick Look) on a directory only shows the directory name, date modified and little else.

Luckily a plugin that has left us with a list of the contents of a directory in Quick Look very detailed. Even gives us the opportunity to show hidden files

Installation:

1. Download the plugin here

2. Folder .qlgenerator file inside /Library/QuickLook/
3. Go to the Finder and you click on a directory
