Quick question on upgrading to Leopard...
by Chris Pass on Mar 15, 2008 at 5:44:53 am

I've heard all sorts of horror stories about upgrading to leopard and about CS3 compatibility and overall leopard problems.

I run Maya 8.5, Adobe CS3, and am really wanting to get to leopard for bootcamp so i can run Z Brush in XP.

Should I be ok to do a normal OS upgrade? or do I need to do a clean install like some people have told me?

Any help?

Hi,

I don't know about Maya (my version 6.5 won't run on Leopard) but I haven't had a problem with CS3 on either a laptop that was upgraded from 10.4 or on a MacPro with a clean install. I waited until 10.2, Adobe's Leopard specific upgrades and the whole quicktime fiasco were over before upgrading, but in my experience, at this point, it's okay to upgrade.

I almost always recommend doing an archive and install rather than a straight upgrade. In the case of cs3 apps, you should be all set with no reinstallation of the suite necessary.

Doing an A&I gives you a clean system while preserving your user and network settings and also keeping your application installs intact (save for some instances).

I found that after the 10.5.2 update my system was more stable with AE. It also resolved my Nucleo Pro failure issue.
