Hello,
I installed Leopard on my iMac G5 and now its all messed up. When I get to the main screen all I get is the spinning marble mouse cursor and nothing works. I can click safari but it won't open (same for all apps). I can't do anything and really need help here.
Thanks in advance!

Did it work at all after installing Leopard? Or just never work correctly.

To be honest, it sounds like the easiest solution would be to back up all your documents and other important files and do a fresh erase and install.

I mean I guess it works a little. It boots up and I get the desktop and my dock and everything but the mouse is the spinning marble and no apps will open and nothing runs. I don't know if I will be able to save my documents as I can't get anything to work...

I am also having problem with the spinning ball in Apple Mail. It is really ridiculous. But I find that eventually it the spinning ball will go away after about 4 or 5 minutes. I tried rebuilding the mail folders and running disk utility but so far nothing has worked.

Let us know if you find a solution. I am going to call Apple Tech Support tomorrow.
