10.5.2 and MacPro

[sdhollman]

So any nightmare stories or is everything cool? Just wondering if I should update or not.

I read on the Apple forums some poor guy's MacPro REV 1 got bricked by 10.5.2

[netdog]

My Internet has gotten sort of herky jerky, starting and stopping in fits. The page-load speed is all gone.

[newtech]

No issues here, on Mac Pro 1,1; two G5's and two MDD. ;)

Upgraded G4 Digital Audio doesn't like any flavor of 10.5 ( installer runs but freezes about 70% of the way through ) .

On Safari?

[tvbi]

No problem here on an older MP. Safari seem faster, apps load up faster, and system wake up is a lot faster.

[Play4keeps]

Mine is so much snappier:D

More like cinder-blocked! :D :D :D

my wife left me.

LOL.

She wants me to tell you its ok, you will find someone else. :D

HAHA. Thanks for the laugh so early in the morning.

My 2008 Mac Pro is working fine with 10.5.2. It was a little jerky right after the install, but that was due to all the crap that was going on (reindexing, etc.). Once that finished, it has been running beautifully.

[whbrown42]

Immediately after upgrading to 10.5.2 I started having connect issues with my Airport Xpress base station. Every 15-30 minutes my connection to the network would be severed and take a few seconds to re-establish. Extremely annoying to say the least.

I tried rebooting my modem and base station as well as my computer, and that helped slightly, but I continued to have sporadic connect issues.

This morning I checked and noticed I was on old firmware for the base station, and corrected that. No problems since then, so I'm hoping it was just the firmware problem. I've heard of similar network issues for Macbook Pro users, but not from desktop models yet.

I applied the combo update, followed by the graphics update and I haven't had any problems so far (knock wood ;)). Also, I would agree with others that most operations feel a bit faster.

[macenforcer]

Well I have been having wierd problems with my mac pro. Sometimes on boot the keyboard and mouse would not be recognized. Also, constant crashes of ichat when doing video chat and ofcourse wake from sleep complete system crash and automatic reboot.

After 10.5.2 I still have the crash after wake from sleep. Have not tested anything else yet. Might need to take the system in and have it looked at.

In hindsight; I'd take a working Mac Pro over my ex any day.

[whbrown42]

Update: After a little bit of time I'm sad to report that my airport connection continues to drop erratically. This is going to get old quickly, and I hope the issue is addressed quickly, considering how much more commonly it seems to be hitting the macbook line.

For those that care, I'm running on 2 2.66 Dual-Core Xeon with 2 gigs of ram. The outages on my wireless are only brief bursts, and it's fairly clear that it's the fault of the patch and not some local electromagnetic disturbance as my laptop and older desktop have not been experiencing any of the disconnects that my Mac Pro has since installing this patch.

If anyone else is suffering from these same problems or has a solution, I'd love to hear it.

[Photomax]

No problems with my 2x2.8 GHz Mac Pro (January 2008).

I have slow as hell DSL (gotta change that) but began the download before bed. Did the install in the AM, let it chug through its thing. Then rebooted again and all seems fine and stable...

First thing I looked for was the menu bar transparency...

[siorai]

The only problem I had was that the sound output was changed from line-out to internal speakers.

[jameskohn]

All is fine on my Quad Xeon 3Ghz. My computer has been hanging up at shut down ever since Leopard upgrade, and I was hoping 10.5.2 would fix that, but it didn't. Otherwise, all is well since 10.5.2. Kind of anti-climatic actually.

[nylon]

All is good with Mac Pro 1,1. Everything works snappily. Applied a combo update on a clean install and then repaired permissions.

[BryanLyle]

I had the same problem.

[peejack]

Also still reboot at sleep wake up for me.

[Mister9]

Yeah I am on a Macbook Pro and my internet does that same thing from time to time- not every 15 to 30 minutes, but once in a while it will just lose connection and then I have to click the airport icon let it load (it won't show my connection) move over to the battery index then move it back to the airport and let it scan again and usually my network 'Nizzle' shows up again and I click on it- kind of second nature to me now tho cuz I've gotten used to it... so ur right, it might get old quick.

[Mr.Noisy]

No Problems whatsoever, Safari seems snappier, backed up beforehand just in case, but worried over nowt ;)

[itou]

i had a sound problem. nothing was coming out until i turned the system off and on and ichat crashes all the time. i never put my system to sleep so i don't have the sleep/reboot problem. the graphics card has not failed yet, so i'm happy. i don't notice much of a speed increase. i'm just thankful nothing's died yet.

[ceres]

Also still reboot at sleep wake up for me.

same here.

[GroundLoop]

same here.

I really wish that someone could figure out what the issue is and get this fixed...it is very annoying.

[bld44]

No problems here.

Just done the 10.5.2 ( and graphics ) upgrade on a 2008 MP 2.8 octo, intermittent sleep problem seems to be worse, keeps doing a restart. Also Photoshop CS2 slower to open than before, 10 secs on new machine but only 5 secs on a G4 1.25 DP on OS 10.3.9. Finder sometimes takes a while to open but didn't before upgrade.

Everything else seems to be okay although I am a bit disappointed that it doesn't feel any different apart from nontransparent menu bar and more stacks options. Its not the life changing experience that some people had hoped or hyped it up to be. We should just be thankful for good solid and stable OS

[Composer87]

hi guys can you help me out..

i'm having problems installing this update...when i restart, a status window comes up saying 'configuring installation', and the progress bar does not move. i've been waiting over an hour for something to happen..and still nothing.

running on an early 2008 mac pro.

any input appreciated, cheers

[ravikc]

dual 3ghz quad mac pro here

same problem with the airport...running 10.5.2..was rock solid in 10.5.1..now it disconnects every 15-20 minutes..scans and i have to click the network back on

running an airport extreme base @ 5ghz with N only...

any ideas?

[Lumpydog]

Ditto

Same here. Everything seems to be cool, even after a couple of reboots. Oh, except for the fact that my startup chime plays only through the internal speaker, no matter if speakers are connected or not.

OS

Adobe told me CS2 apps not certified for Leopard - likely to have issues. Also, CS2 will run in Rosetta on an Intel Mac which would definitely make it slower in every way. I upgraded to PS CS3 awhile ago on 10.4.8, which is superior in many ways to CS2, Leopard issue aside. Can't wait to see it scream on a MP.

I was just about to create a new thread when I found this and your post.

Exactly the same here. I've noticed window dragging is also fecked up.

What GPU do you have? I have X1900XT - just wondering if its the graphics card update or the 10.5.2 update that's caused this performance drop.

Thinking of doing an archive and install again :(




edit....


So I reset P-RAM and ran the leopard installer disk / disk utility and repaired the macintosh HD and it found some errors.

Rebooted and things seem to be back to smooth. Will keep an eye on this though.

[GoKyu]

The only problem I've had in the upgrade (fairly major for me) is that my Gearbox software (lets me play my guitar through the computer) now causes a kernel panic if I leave it running for more than about a minute, and if I try to close and re-launch, it panics immediately.

I posted a message about it over on the Line6 forums, hope they fix that one soon.

I had wake from sleep issues but I haven't had any problems since resetting the SMC (removing all cables for 15 seconds) and then zapping the PRAM (cmd+option+P+R at startup.)

I did both of these as well, but still restarting on wakeup...drat!

[netdog]

I think it will get fixed via firmware, not the OS.

My roommate and I each have the same machine, and are encountering the same problem. Haven't found a solution yet, but I'd love to hear if anyone else has.

[Brianna]

Mine is running perfectly, and I have a lot of software which I think can bring down a system. FCS, Adobe CS3 Production Premium, Logic Studio, Reason 4. Just to name some, and it's all going smoothly.
