Apple's pattern of seeding new builds of Mac OS X 10.5.7 to developers each weekend continues, with Build 9J39 making its way out this weekend. World of Apple publishes (http://news.worldofapple.com/archives/2009/03/29/new-seed-of-mac-os-x-1057-surfaces/) the seed notes, which reveal only five documented changes since the previous seed (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/03/23/os-x-10-5-7-build-9j34-seeded-to-developers/).This build in partcular fixes issues Mail signatures, System Profiler having problems with DisplayPort adapters and several other issues.
As with previous builds the inability to install Safari 4 Beta is the only remaining issue.Apple has also added Safari to the list of "general focus areas" upon which developers are asked to concentrate their testing.

Not being able to install the Safari 4 beta seems to be a big show stopper to me.I think that was a major one for many people.
The Mini-DisplayPort hasn't been a fun trip either.

I'm quite sure Safari 4 compatibility has been tested internally for months now. I doubt that we'll see it released before developers get a build with compatibility though, so I reckon at least another few weeks before general release. :(

I would hazard a guess regarding the non install of Safari 4 is that its a version checker in Safari looking for 10.5.6 and the security update, because it will not install without the later ( in 10.5.6 )
so maybe its not 10.5.7 thats the problem but the version of safari 4 beta that we have

That would be my guess as well. The problem is almost certainly in Safari, not OS X.

So the only known issue is Safari 4.0 Beta not playing well with 10.5.7. I'm surprised this is still an issue given Apple's recent promotion of Safari 4.0. It would be nice to see this update on or around Tuesday.

I was excited to see the fix with Mail Signatures, until I read the details. The signatures still appearing below the replied text, even though we have checked the box to put the signature above the quoted text is really frustrating. I spend hours moving over my mail from Entourage to Mail and then have to revert since I use signatures on most of my emails.:eek:

I know this is not a bug; Well at least part is..
I'm sure I am one of many people who have a gmail address and a mac. And while both companies are on the cutting edge in their respective fields I have this reoccurring problem; Where, when I send an email in any fashion from my gmail account i get a exact copy in my inbox in mail.app. While i had this problem on my Blackberry, It was a simple fix. Similar to rules built into mail.
The problem with mail is that the rules simply dont work for me; Not only do they not work they do really screwy things, Like moving mail that had nothing to do with the rules the the absolute wrong folders. This should be a really simple fix or preferably it should just be built into the next build of mail, where mail.app just knows how to handle gmail accounts... Please apple make it play nice!
P.s. I've used the corrected "rules" as well as different configurations; I'm not stupid and did the research to no avail.

Well, I've been accessing my GMail account in Mail ever since Google enabled IMAP support, and like what seems to be the vast majority of people out there (otherwise this wouldn't be the first time I've heard of this happening), I'm not seeing this.
Are you sure you don't have Mail set up to copy you on outgoing messages (Mail Preferences -> Composing)?

I have an early 2008 MBP (15") and have not had any problems with networking at all. It successfully connects to any available network I have tried.

That is odd - should be 9HXX shouldn't it? I have not seen this before... but if you think about it, there is an explanation. Remember the new hardware Apple released recently? These shipped with custom builds of 10.5.6, using the 9HXX and 9IXX schemes - one for the iMac/Mac mini, and one for the Mac Pro. 10.5.7 will unify these, if my theory is correct.

also, why 9XXX anyway if it's OSX?

Mac OS X is based on Darwin. Darwin version numbers started at 1 and are incremented every major version. Leopard is the 9th major Darwin revision. The first X is the minor revision number, incremented when Apple releases a new build of Mac OS X or a custom build to support new hardware (as was done for the iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro). The other Xs are for build numbers.

The "2" usually means it's an Intel-specific build (although I've noticed that Mac Pros use "3" - maybe they increment the number for each architecture-specific build). When you update, for example to 10.5.7, they will have integrated that architecture-specific code into the generic codebase, so you'll be able to run the same build as everyone else.

I agree.
Since Leopard's release, the wallpaper switcher on my MBP hardly works properly. It lags everything, unless I disable the 3D dock and the translucent menubar.
And when I installed 10.5.6, it seemed worse. It seemed like everything loaded slower. Overall, it just seemed crappy. 10.5.5 was MUCH better IMO.
It seems like the only way we'll get better drivers is to get Snow Leopard when it comes out, since they will be using a 64-bit kernel, which will require the drivers to be 64-bit, which will mean that will need to rewrite the drivers.
Tiger seemed so much better, but unfortunately, everything has shifted to Leopard, which pretty much forces me to use it.

Any idea if 10.5.7 might be released before this coming Saturday?

Anything is possible. I thought we would have seen the release before now, so who knows? Blog sites like Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/04/snow-leopard-juno-and-pro-app-updates-oh-my.ars), Softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Mac-OS-X-10-5-7-Juno-on-Track-for-April-Release-108416.shtml), as well as AppleInsider (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/03/31/more_proof_of_nehalem_xserves_may_ship_with_os_x_10_5_7.html) are only saying that it will be sometime in April.

AppleInsider are only saying that it will be sometime in April.
Which means they have no clue. Anybody could have said that, it's no rocket science. If there will not be a 10.5.7 in April, it means Apple's in deep trouble with something.

It is against the rules to bump threads. Please go read the rules.
We know nothing about 10.5.7.

I haven't seen any news stories more recent than the ones I mentioned above in post #70.

I'm hoping OS X 10.5.7 fixes unreliable issues with WiFi on 802.1X networks.

I think the bump is for your on posts? Not sure... I think bump is just a forbidden word :D

Bumping doesn't effect threads that are posted by MacRumors', bumping only effects posts written in the forum by other members in order to put their buried post on top. Posting doesn't effect the stance of these particular threads.

You mean that threads in the news forum remain in chronological order regardless of the time of the last post?
Then what the heck is the purpose of the bump?

No threads that MacRumors post on front page and page 2. The threads that are posted by you or I are bumped up depending on the most recent posting, hence why it is against the rules for people to "bump" their own threads to get them back on top again. Posting on these threads doesn't move the actual thread, and bumping comments serves you no good.

Sooo no new build was released over the weekend. Surely Tuesday is a good prospect for release?
The biggest issue for me is that 10.5.7 seems the likelyist issue holding up the shipping of my imac with an ATI 4850 card. 4 weeks and counting since i ordered...

What is the build number of this new build? Also, on what Web page did you read about this new build?
Thanks! :)

World of Apple is reporting Apple has released yet another seed of Mac OS X 10.5.7 to developers. This build (9J39), like the last few, has few know issues and the only know problem is the Safari 4 beta won’t install.
Apple has released several updates at almost a weekly biases. Increased seed speeds and few know issues indicates an imminent release.
If I keep saying it I’ll be right sooner or later.
This is old news. In fact, it's reported at the start of this very thread.

•Fixed issue with Bluetooth mouse and button settings after disconnect/reconnect
I wonder what that means? I have a Bluetooth mouse that works fine to click and scroll, but it will not track. I have my fingers crossed.:rolleyes:

I wonder why World of Apple hasn't reported on the new build yet. Usally they're the first.

The Bluetooth can be buggy at times. I stopped using my bluetooth might mouse as at times the tracking stammers. I noticed this happens a lot when Time Machine is backing up. The only way I found to fix it is to turn off the mouse and turn it back on, but the reconnect sometimes doesn't kick in unless you click the mouse a few times while it's getting a handshake. The scroll ball was becoming more and more touchy, and the last time I tried to clean it with alcohol and a Q-Tip it just stopped working all together. I love the look of the mighty mouse, but I have to admit Apple needs to develop a better scroll ball.
