   I had to deal with that said blue screen issue as well, after attempting to upgrade from Leopard. Booting in single-user mode (apple-v on startup) and checking out the logs ( /var/log/system.log ) indicates the WindowServer process crashes which is the reason nothing actually happens. A fresh-install fixes everything.

   Exactly the same problem when I tried to install Leopard on my brand new (3 week old) 24inch iMac. And I never thought I would see the blue screen of death on a Mac, and that is exactly what I got. I tried 3 times to do an install (upgrade) and finally gave up. Looks like my only option will be to “erase and install” a bummer for any files I did not back up. And just imagine the thousands of people around the world with their fancy new iMacs, who have not backed up - they will lose everything. So much for the Apple promise of ‘just go for a coffee and when you get back Leopard will be up and running”…. Very disappointing, you would have thought Apple might have tested Leopard on the iMac.

   Same EXACT issue on a newish MacBook. I’m VERY disappointed in Apple right now. To think, I almost clicked the button to buy a new 24″ iMac earlier today. I did not back up all of my files. Only the most critical. Now I’m feeling completely hosed. Thanks Apple! You ruined my weekend! BTW, this is not a pirated copy. It’s the original install disk. I’m on the second try of the install now, but after reading above, I’m not in the least optimistic.

   Oct 26th, 2007

4. Michael

   The exact same thing. My Mac Mini has flat lined and I am looking at a blue screen for the third boot in a row. I did not back up my files - duh!

   Threw in the towel and formatted. HATE!

   I have had this problem as well. But I am running a sort of production machine. If I can avoid having to reinstall some of my apps (and reconfigure them) I would really like to. I thought I left this kind of stuff behind when I left Microsoft. ACK!

   Same issue with a MacMini/Core Duo. First time in twenty-three years of Mac ownership that I’ve had an OS install/upgrade fail.

   Upgrade failed three times with Mac version of BSOD. Then tried the install that archives the current system (and preserves users and network settings. This worked.

   Oct 26th, 2007

8. Glenn Jordan

   I’m screwed too. I canceled the installation so as to go back up. I chose an option to restart with 10.4.1. But now I can’t restart with that either. Very angry with Apple.

   Hey everyone. Nice to see I’m not the only one with problems, but also good to see everyone eventually getting it fixed.

   Saw this here which has a link to http://unsanity.com/haxies/ape/, a program that everyone should install before installing Leopard. Apparently it stops the blue screen of death appearing.

    Hi, I had a similar problem, not with the initial upgrade on my macbook pro, but when I tried switching users to a username under which I have filevault turned on. Same thing, wedged on a blank blue screen. I did some low-level investigating, and it seems to me that after an upgrade, files under filevault are no longer readable. I deleted the user and re-added it from a backup I had, turned filevault back on, bluescreen went away and now everything is fine. YMMV, but I do suspect filevault of being responsible for at least some of these wedges.

    Oct 27th, 2007

11. Bryce

    @Yttrx

    I’d never used filevault on my iMac previously but still you could be right.

    Apple-
    Wow, I don’t know if there are words to describe how mad I am with this new and improved Leopard software you so willingly told the entire U.S. was amazing. I have been an Apple user for quite sometime now and I will honestly say as of right now, I don’t know how much longer I will be an Apple user.
    Everything that was said on this forum happened to me—no I didn’t back up my files, didn’t even think about it because macs are so great. I’ve sat here for hours trying to figure out what I can do in order to fix this crash, but I have found no solution. I don’t want to erase everything and start over. 200+ movies with 10,000+ songs, you’ve gotta be kidding me.

    My solution: reserved a 6:15 time at the Apple Store so the so called geniuses can get my computer back to shape. If they don’t, expect hate mail, Apple.

    Oct 27th, 2007

13. Bryce

    @Gus

    At least you have geniuses in the US, us Australians don’t have them, however I’d be happy to become one :).

    Good luck getting yours fixed, I believe that as long as Leopard hasn’t been installed you should be okay.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Oct 27th, 2007

14. Bruce

    Installed Leopard in my G-4 with a Fast Mac Processor. The Processor is supposed to be compatible with OS X. After the install my computer will not boot up and the Leopard Disc is still in the machine. Had to bring my computer to the shop.

    “no I didn’t back up my files”

    You know, even Apple users should read documentation and take major upgrades very, very seriously. “Macs are so great” is no reason to not back up your data.

    It’s continually astonishing to me that there are so many Apple users who patently refuse to learn how their computers actually work. I realize that Apple has made it easy to forget about internals with a lot of (very pretty) flashy exterior, but underneath it all beats the heart of Darwin, which is worth getting to know–even if just to untether yourself from the “genius bars”.

    Anyhow, I noted that there was only one comment on my fix above. I decided to see if I could reliably reproduce the problem—and I can. And it always has to do with files that for one reason or another are unreadable by Leopard, most often because they’ve been encrypted by the user with Filevault.

    Which just goes to show you—do not use software that you do not understand, even if it’s pretty.

    Oct 27th, 2007

16. yttrx

    By the way, I did almost 6 seconds of research and found this:

    “I had the same blue screen hang but the instructions below fixed it for me.

    1. Reboot into single-user mode (hold Cmd-S while booting machine)
    2. Follow the directions OSX gives you when you get to the prompt (I
    think these were them - just type the two commands it tells you to):
    fsck -fy /
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    3. Remove the following files:
    rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/ApplicationEnhancer.prefpane
    rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/ApplicationEnhancer.framework
    rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
    rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
    4. Exit, to continue booting normally
    exit

    In my case I think “application enhancer” was installed on my machine
    when I installed RezX on my mini but I am not sure”

    Oct 27th, 2007

17. Bryce

    @yttrx

    The only reason you found that in 6 seconds is because from our an hour after this post, the blue screen problem became an online epidemic. After 1 hour of this post being around, hardly any views. 2 hours later and its around 2000 unique visitors. People saw this and all realised, they’re not alone.

    Now answers are every where. And also, to find that you need an additional computer. Not everyone has that extra comp to find answers.

    Either way, at least it’s been semi-resolved.

    ——-
    Bryce

    Oct 27th, 2007

18. yttrx

    It’s semi-resolved in the fact that it actually isn’t Apple’s fault, but the fault of yet another third party developer that refused to cough up a few bucks for a Leopard seed a long time a go to make sure their software didn’t break it. There’s no excuse for that.

    And why do you need an additional computer in order to boot into single user mode?

    Oct 27th, 2007

19. Bryce

    I meant you need an additional computer to find the answer to how to fix it. For example; you’re sitting there and the Mac stuffs up (like in my case), and you need help. Can’t use that computer.

    And think about how many apps you have on your computer? I have at least 80, at least. How can I expect 80 separate developers to guarantee a fix.

    This is partially Apple’s fault, and that is an obvious fact. More warnings/testing should be have done by them, as they must have known this would happen.

    However, everyone should make a backup of important files when upgrading their OS. Mac, or PC.

    Oct 27th, 2007

20. Gus

    Fixed!

    IF YOU INSTALED APPLICATION ENHANCER FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
    1. Reboot into single-user mode (hold Cmd-S while booting machine)
    2. Follow the directions OSX gives you when you get to the prompt (I
    think these were them - just type the two commands it tells you to):
    fsck -fy /
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    3. Remove the following files:
    rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/ApplicationEnhancer.prefpane
    rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/ApplicationEnhancer.framework
    rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
    rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
    4. Exit, to continue booting normally OR logout

    Oct 27th, 2007

21. Bryce

    Thanks for posting that Gus.

    I still doubt that every single person above installed Application Enhancer.

    Oct 27th, 2007

22. Ronnie

    After reading all of this I am glad I backed up and installed fresh. I’m a new Mac convert and that is the way I’ve been doing things for years with Windows. I know OSX is a great OS but I also know I stuck alot of software written by others on my computer over the last 9 months I’ve owned it and being I know just a small amount as to how OSX (Darwin) works, I figured I’d take no chances. My wife would have killed me if I were to have lost the pictures she has stored on the Mac. We back them up but not daily and she takes an aweful lot of pictures. Live and learn. However, if Apple wants to boast as to how easy it is to upgrade they should do alot of inhouse testing of 3rd party software to see if any of it will cause problems because even though it really isn’t there problem it IS there problem because it is their OS.

    Having the same problem. Tried cmd-s before and after the chime, but just boots into blue screen and never goes anywhere. I have a ppc mini with a wired windows keyboard. A fresh install would be an option, but my disc is in the drive and I cant get it to eject either. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply Bryce.
    I tried holding down c only to boot from the dvd and still boot into the blue screen. Any idea why I can’t get any commands to work? Thanks.

    Oct 28th, 2007

27. Bryce

    @Scott

    As you’re turning on the computer, be sure you’re hoding down the C, after a while of holding it down while the white screen is there you can take it off.

    Should work.

    Oct 28th, 2007

28. Scott

    Still no luck. I have tried it three times using only the c key. Still goes to the blue screen.

    Yes. Shape shifter was installed. I never really used it, but I dont remember removing it.

    Oct 28th, 2007

31. Bryce

    WEll I can tell you that’s the reason it’s stuffed up. You need to go to an Apple Store I believe if you can’t get it working with holding down C.

    I couldn’t use ‘C’ as well (also this nice, “optimized” (no text) bluescreen problem). Found out, after quite some time, that I had OpenFirmware installed (the stuff with password protection for booting etc.) - the point was to hold the Option key to get a boot menu, since OpenFirmware blocked C.
    And I went a step ahead even, pressing Alt+Apple+O+F, going into OpenFirmware (had to enter my password there, good luck that I hadn’t forgotten about it), executing reset-nvram and reset-all in there made the computer react to C on reboot again.

    Yet another IMac bites the dust with Leopard. In my case the install destroyed my keychain and admin passwords, which put me in a world of hurt. The nincompoop from Apple support (who put me on hold for 30 minutes after I answered each simple question, like “what is your name?” and “what is the serial number?”). He, apparently, had to check with a senior tech to verify my name and serial number. You know where it went from there. I was sitting with a dead password box that accepted no names or passwords even after C starting, going into utilities and changing the admin password more than ten times. I then had to do it another time with this bozo (this took 2 hours, 18 minutes including hold time).

    Eventually, I got to the senior tech in Cupertino, and he ran me through what I had long before figured out on my own, and had no miracle to get me across the threshold of start up without a password that the IMac and Leopard would agree on. In the end, I had to empty the machine, and do a Mac Book Pro transfusion after a reload from the Leopard disc, where all files were lost. Luckily, I keep my Mac Book loaded with all the important files, and it wasn’t a total loss.

    You would think Apple could have checked this out on an IMac before throwing us to the wolves after waiting such a hellishly long time for this software. Next time I’m waiting a year for all the crap to run downhill!

    I, to encountered the “blue screen of sadness” after doing a standard upgrade. Luckily, I could get online with my PS3 and found the solution was to do an “Archive and Install” which worked for me.

    Oct 28th, 2007

37. Ewan Makepeace

    A possible explanation.

    Guys - I am still waiting for Amazon to deliver my preordered copy of Leopard (express delivery no less) but may hold of install based on the messages here until I get home and make another backup!

    HOWEVER - Application Enhancer is no ordinary software but a hacking/patching tool that allows for in memory alteration of other peoples software.

    Because Leopard randomises the location where it loads each library at startup there is a good chance that Application Enhancer will overwrite the wrong thing on boot…

    I suspect it is enough to disable it before the install, but at any rate I think you should agree that a third party utility that overwrites the executable code of other programs in memory is exactly the sort of think that is likely to clash with new (and more secure) system software.

    Why have so many users got it installed? Well for a while it was the only way to make Parallels not cache disk access and given the number of parallels users out there, that would be quite a number, but it has other uses too (as well as being used to bypass security on some apps - software piracy).

    Bottom Line - remove or disable anything that tries to meddle with executables in memory!

    I got the blue screen also when I installed Leopard onto my PowerPC iMac G5. I called Apple Support. I was on the phone with him for nearly an hour. He told me to go to Terminal, I was told to put in “fsck”, but nothing happened except my disk going into Overdrive for a long time. I was told to Reboot. Still the same blue screen. I then Restarted with the Option key, yada yada yada, same blue screen. He then told me to start the Install again, but this time to Archive Install. I did that and it works. There are still a few bugs, but it is now in Leopard.

    I’ve installed 10.5 on my macbook pro without a hitch. It does have a sleep issue though. After about three sleep sessions it will not wake up. Hard drive spins but there’s no one home.

    I’m a converted windows user and there’s no way I’m going back. Major system upgrades are always a problem, even for Apple. I have a fair amount of third party software installed and quite honestly expected there to be a problem. The sleep issue will get resolved! However anyone who chooses to be an early adopter is choosing to be a guinea pig to a degree. I like early adoption because I like solving problems. If you don’t, then wait six to twelve weeks before shelling out the money! there’s not such thing a truly smooth system upgrade.

    Leopard is a nightmare. Running a G5-dual and had nothing but problems. Computer ran super slow. Safari did not work right. You cannot run any old programs in system-9. Photoshop 7 will not work, you have to purchase the upgrade to CS. I could not get Leopard to be stable for more than 30 mins at a time, would crash, freeze-up or I would get the power-off or restart screen of death. Had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Tiger. Also got the blue-screen of death when installed the first time. Apple is not my favorite this time.

    I wish I would have read these posts a couple of weeks ago. Recently Comcast suggested that I upgrade my browser soon or I would not be able to use the internet as smoothly as I had in the past. It was time for me to upgrade from 10.3.9 so I went with Leopard. After what appeared like a seamless installation Murphy’s Law kicked in big timeI Later that day (Friday) I received a project that was due over the weekend. Leopard was humming along fine although every program I use was rendered useless. Photoshop, Bryce, Painter even my Intous tablet was out of whack, some programs seemed to launch OK with missing features while Photoshop didn’t launch at all. After spending $1000 for upgrades including the OSX 10.5 that created this mess, I finally completed the job in 24 hours that should have only taken 10. This isn’t the same machine I knew and loved…..It’s evil….Oh! BTW Thanks for the warning and pay cut Apple!!!

    Well, luckily I never got the blue screen syndrome on any of our machines (2 G5s and a MacBook Pro), but I am not happy with Leopard at all. It is acting so weird. Especially after the 10.5.1 update. My programs keep crashing things come on that I didn’t prompt (like system set-up) and it takes me 4 times to close it before it actually will. I’m in the middle of production for a weekly magazine and all my programs (CS3) are acting crazy. They better find out a fix soon or I’m going back to Tiger. Is this another “Vista” catastrophe? I still love and always will love apple, but they definitely released the most messed up operating system I’ve ever come across. They better be working overtime to fix it or I’m in a very shitty position for a while. My advice is stay on Tiger for as long as you can!

    Apple Kindly sent me a free copy of leopard the other day (some sort of agreement my place of learning has with them that we get all the new upgrades an what not free), I did an ‘erase and install’ and it works perfectly. But my flatmate with the same Macbook as me, did an ‘Archive and install’, and now he’s got the ‘Filevault error’ were it just wont let him log in, apparently its something to do with the encryption on the vault and leopard not being able to read it.
    So heres what I’m going to try when he gets in: Re-install Tiger as an ‘Archive and install’ then turn off file vault, back-up everything (he should have done this in the first place), then go back to trying leopard.

    Has anyone tried this? does it work?

    What you guys are experiencing is called a Kernel panic. This means that the kernel for OS X is not loading. Try holding down the shift button while starting up the computer. This, hopefully, will enable you to start up in safe mode, which usually solves the problem of booting up the kernel. After that, log in. Then, restart the computer and boot up normally. If that does not solve your problem, then ya, call AppleCare.

    I have had only 1 out of 5 installs go well. This has to be one of the worst releases from apple! Even if you do get it installed ok there are still loads of issues. Photoshops crop tool is just that a TOOL anymore! Along with all the random crashes. And printer problems. I am an apple loyalist but this is crazy!!!! I see the one mac/pc add where all the vista users are going back to xp and all i can think about is 10.4 at this time. I do love the new features of leopard but at what expense do I have to take to use them! Apple you need to get this right and fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve installed Leopard on 8 Macs! On 2 or 3 of the blue screen appeared for an extended period. In one case, I just went to bed and decided to check on it in the morning.

    In each case, the install was successful (well except for some annoyances with loading some web pages, and configuring my airport networks, these problems occur on all my computers, but come and go. So with enough attempts I’m eventually successful)

    In any event, it is clear that many users encounter a blue screen that will not eventually take care of itself. However, I recommend patience in the event the screen is encountered, as I found patience took care of the problem

    HOLD ON HERE! ….with regard to that BLUE SCREEN OF “DEATH”… I too had seen this blank blue screen on install of Leopard on my G4 Laptop… of course i cannot speak for anyone els… but when the blue screen appeared and did not seem to go away… rather than give up and assume that it crashed… i had patients and let the computer sit for about 10 min… SURE enough… eventually… the computer booted up… im assuming that the upgrade just took a long time… granted… im on a G4 Laptop… not one of those fast and fancy INTEL models… needless to say… it DID eventually start up and i have not seen any major issues… sure there a few bugs… but most are minor enough for me to continue to work until there is an update… AND just for the record… im not running a simple setup… i have tons of software that was already installed… some are major applications like Adobe CS 3 as well as other third party software …all working without issues…. i have to say… im IMPRESSED with LEOPARD…. HAVE PATIENTS ON INITIAL INSTALL PEOPLE…. its very possible that if anyone upgrades and shuts their computer down before the installation is complete… OBVIOUSLY there will be problems trying to get it to work afterwards.

    I asked my Apple Dealer before I bought Leopard in October 2007 if it was safe to use. Absolutely! Is what I was told - My Company has been on Apple since they started.

    LEOPARD - I hate this product - I am a consultant. I make money with my computer. With Leopard - I can’t print PowerPoint, or Excel, I can’t easily load my Customer’s printers. The Tax People asked for a 2006 invoice and it was done in Classic. I can’t open it. LOT’S OF STUFF JUST ACTS WEIRD and not weird GOOD.

    I give lectures - This is now one of my stories about BAD, AWFUL, product introductions.

    Leopard is the pits. I have 601 recipe files in Apple, and for the life of me, today I can highlight the recipe, and try to save as in Word. No go, although I was able to do so last week. Leopard is inconsistent and “changes it rules” apparently as a whim.

    I just went thru the nightmares of loading Leopard on an iMac G5 1.8GHz 20″. I asked the “Genius” at my local store, he recommended Archive & Install, because I had been running Tiger for over 2 years. It failed several times to install. It would stall and sit there for hours telling me it had less than a minute to complete the install. I talked to AppleCare, they told me shouldn’t have done Archive & install, but just a plain upgrade. Their recommendation was to erase the hard drive with write zero 7 pass. I finally, after 3 attempts to install it, took it down to the store and let the “Geniuses” look at it. After running diagnostics to ensure everything was good, they installed Leopard from their Server Copy. It runs, but has issues. Force Quit doesn’t quit anything. When I have a program hang, I see (not responding) behind its entry on Force Quit. I usually wind up hard booting to get it to restart because Shutdown doesn’t work at that point.

    Looks like Apple and Microsoft have similar problems with their New and Improved OS’s.

    Just got a brand new 2.6 GHz Double Quad core Mac Pro (at work) with Leopard pre installed. Spent 1 day installing all my software after running the system update twice (thought that should do). So far so good.

    Day2 installed LightWave and got annoyed with the new keyboard - I need F2 - F12 keys for LW functions, not for volume control. Contacted apple support who recomended additional updates - 6 times in all. Result BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Contacted apple support again - remedy reinstall Leopard from dvd’s. 2 hours later ready for updates again this time only 3 runs, restarted after final update - BLUE SCREEN AGAIN …

    Day 3: New reinstall of Leopard - only got as far as disc one after which it stopped with an error message. True it got rid of the Blue Screen but the installation is incomplete and all my software is gone. Am now seriously considering returning the PC to the shop. Maybe I’ll install OSX 1.4.11 instead …. if that is possible.

    I have worked with macs since 1991 and there have been ups and some downs - but nothing like this …

    Mac lovers always criticize windows, and here you are with a lot of problems like vista users hahahahahahahahaha why u don’t move to Windows XP, is cool and you can PLAY GAMES and do all the same stuff that u do in MacOSX. If u people hate windows just move to linux, it’s free and shares UNIX heritage like MacOSX.

    I was quite happy with the ” Tiger ‘ on our I-Mac.Quite a let down with the ” improvements ” of Leopard - Erratic behavior which never happened before - slower - difficulties to shut down - not reading some earlier files ETC…

    Not pleased - & I still wonder if I should reverse all this work to return to ” Tiger ”

    P.D.

    I decided to upgrade my Power PC G4. Purchased optimum memory installed at Apple Store. Purchased a copy of Leopard. Before installing I carefully updated everything on 10.3.9 and left installing Leopard for a few days.
    With the new memory Mac was fast and efficient. I have used it for 5 years now and had hardly any problems.
    Installed Leopard. It seemed to go well. After installation checked applications and found they were nearly all out of date. idvd will not open at all and everything else is earlier than previously. This puzzled me so searched for updates. Performed an Archive Install thinking this would put matters right. Idvd now tells me ‘You cannot use this version of the application idvd with this version o Mac Osx’ - all apps
    apart from iTunes and QTP are out of date.
    Could anyone offer any advice please?
