Apple has yet again seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.5.7, this one termed Build 9J56, to developers for testing. World of Apple publishes (http://news.worldofapple.com/archives/2009/04/23/mac-os-x-1057-build-9j56-graces-developers-seed-notes/) the seed notes, which detail five changes since the previous build (http://www.macrumors.com/2009/04/15/apple-seeds-os-x-10-5-7-build-9j50-to-developers-public-release-imminent/) issued last week.Despite many expecting that the previous build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 would be the one to see a public release Apple today has released a new build labelled 9J56.

The latest build adds another five fixes to the huge list including issues with AFP volumes, Bluetooth stability and crash reporting and logging.As in the previous six developer seeds, a lack of Safari 4 Beta compatibility is the only remaining issue documented by Apple.

Get this out ... taking ages....

[Michael73]

This is like a significant other that can't commit.

[Juo100]

Does anyone know if 10.5.7 fixes the incompatibility experienced while trying to use bluetooth to iPhone 3.0 for internet tethering on the latest (Unibody) Macbooks?

[dalvin200]

10.6 will be out before 10.5.7 drops!! ha

[Bye Bye Baby]

I really hope this is a good fix and nice and stable. It might have to tide me over until 10.6 becomes stable and dependable.

Might be a good few months before I do anything to my OS after this latest update.

6 seeds, 1 issue. Wow! It must be a tough nut to crack.

[SkippyThorson]

Will the locks in my system preferences actually stayed locked across every startup?:confused:

[NinjaHERO]

Let me guess.....everyone thinks this will be out next week?:D

I keep rooting for you all each week.

[RichardI]

"Bluetooth stability"....

From the seed notes: Areas of Change
•Bluetooth compatibility and stability fixes


I hope that means what I think it means, in that it fixes the non-tracking and intermittent signal dropping Mighty Mouse/Keyboard issue. Got my fingers crossed.

Rich :cool:

[thejadedmonkey]

Forget about it guys. Apple's just messing with our heads here. :p

[Riemann Zeta]

Guess we won't be seeing this one for a long, long time...they still haven't even bothered to fix the Safari 4 lockout bug. This is apparently the 6th beta released where that was the "only issue?"

Normally I wouldn't care, but I am waiting on 10.5.7 to reformat my Dell mini 9 as a hackintosh.

[superted666]

6 seeds, 1 issue. Wow! It must be a tough nut to crack.

In my humble opinion, the Safari 4 support will not be a bug in Leopard but a bug in the Safari Beta hence no fix listed.

Apple will likely issue a new beta of Safari within a few days of the release.

MacRumors has not been reporting these things in a timely manner. The last 10 or so news stories that have been posted, with exception of the financial results posted yesterday, have all been a day or more late. CNN doesn't post news stories a day after they've happened. What's going on here?

[HONDAxACURA]

It better be a good and stable release. Last version of OSX for PPC.

Keep up the good work Apple!

[Willis]

this has to be one of the longest waited point updates.... they were throwing them out every 2-3 months before!

Noticed that as well. They must be busy or not consider this terribly newsworthy.

[Eric S.]

I agree. This happened yesterday and AppleInsider was all over it.

It better be a good and stable release. Last version of OSX for PPC.

Only if you think there won't be another update in the next five months. I expect at least one, possibly two.

[iBug2]

In my humble opinion, the Safari 4 support will not be a bug in Leopard but a bug in the Safari Beta hence no fix listed.

Apple will likely issue a new beta of Safari within a few days of the release.

It's not a bug. Safari 4 is checking for your system information when it installs. When it sees something newer than 10.5.6 it does not install. They just need to release a new installer for Safari 4 Beta. It does not mean that Safari 4 Beta doesn't work with 10.5.7.

[Stevamundo]

I predict that Leopard will go up to 10.5.9 at least.

[spill]

Wonder if this will fix anything related to the problems with USB tethering of dslr equipment (Canon and Nikon, at least). There's a pretty nasty bug that was introduced in 10.5.6 that causes an enormous memory leak in the "Image Capture Extension" stuff making it impossible to use those devices with 10.5.6 in a usb tethered mode.

The 10.5.7 change lists aren't referencing it, so I'm getting a bit of a queasy feeling. :(

[MartiNZ]

I note there was no 'release imminent' attached this time. Maybe next week they will just release it as 10.5.8 for all the time that has elapsed :).

[dentedG4]

Normally I wouldn't care, but I am waiting on 10.5.7 to reformat my Dell mini 9 as a hackintosh.

Same here! Although im waiting for my mini to ship as well. Double whammy!

I hope you made a bug report about it then. Sure, it's not likely to just be you, but if you don't do it and no one else does, they wont know.

[fpbecker]

Hm. The Xquartz project released X11.pkg version 2.3.3 yesterday. Quote from the release notes:

Important Notices
OS-X Requirements

OS-X 10.5.7 or later is required to install this package.

Could this mean that a release of 10.5.7 is imminent after all?

[CountPollen]

It is to be expected that the 10.5.7 update will come very soon.
MacUpdate.com pointed me to an update for XQuartz to version 2.3.3.
When I start this, it alerts me that the installation requires OS X 10.5.7

Cheers,
CountPollen

update: oops, seems I bumped the post just before me...

[J B]

So, what would be the best estimate as to when this will be released?

[Eric S.]

So, what would be the best estimate as to when this will be released?

Imminently.

:D

[Riemann Zeta]

I guess next week (next Monday, to be exact). Although, since Apple doesn't seem to be doing anything about the Safari 4 issue, perhaps 4 May 09 is a better guess--that might give the Safari 4 team to get off their asses and release a modified installer that doesn't explode when encountering 10.5.7.

[bigandtasty]

With no known issues (other than safari 4 beta) I am hoping today sometime, that would be cool. They will release it though, no later than next Tuesday IMHO.

RELEASE IT NOW :apple:!

[ThomasJL]

The last couple of builds of 10.5.7 have had no known issues other than Safari 4 beta. This has been the case for over two months.

[MartiNZ]

I have to wonder how long they'll leave it now that other packages are requiring it. Or is this just misguessing re imminent status by the XQuartz guys as it is for the rest of us?

[VSMacOne]

not gonna happen today... blah

[John Jacob]

Or is this just misguessing re imminent status by the XQuartz guys as it is for the rest of us?

I would think this is the case. XQuartz is an open source component and not an official Apple product. And if you follow the XQuartz mailing list, you will see that Jeremy mentioned that the stock Leopard X11 package has been updated in 10.5.7 with some of the XQuartz changes.

Nevertheless, I expect 10.5.7 quite soon. Next Tuesday at the latest.

[MartiNZ]

Right. I'll go for Monday :).

People have been saying the same thing for a few months already. What makes people think that this build will be any different?

it's not like you really NEED it. 10.5.6 is fine right now. you aren't unable to use your computer because they haven't released the update.. so i don't see what the point to being on the edge of your seat is

Wrong. People who bought new Macs in the last few months who want to swap drives with their older Macs (running 10.5.6 Build 9G55) DO need the 10.5.7 update, because 10.5.6 build numbers are different for Macs that have been released in the last couple of months. Swapping drives will not work properly if the 10.5.6 build numbers are different. We are users typically with massive amounts of applications and customized settings within those applications, so the usual fanboy advice of "Just use Migration Assistant" is highly uninformed. Furthermore, many of us are using hard drives which are better than any stock Apple hard drive (high capacity, 7200 RPM or SSD), and we want to keep these hard drives instead of using the stock Apple drives.

So your comment of "you aren't unable to use your computer because they haven't released the update" is misinformed. Some of us actually are unable to use our computers because they haven't released the 10.5.7 update.

I need the update due to having the 4870 pause issue and therefore I am unable to use my £2k Mac Pro.

[bigandtasty]

C'mon :apple:, unleash the beast!

My new nonscientific guess is between tomorrow (Tuesday) and the 4th of July!

[MartiNZ]

Well it's late Tuesday afternoon here and it's not out - oh what a shame these things don't work with timezones :). I'll wake up one morning and find it has been released; just when that will be is the question of the day - whichever day it is!

[Brien]

10.5.7 might not even be out for another month. When it's here it's here.

[Mr. Wonderful]

The suspense is killing me though.

[satcomer]

My sources say 10.5.7 will not be released until late May. So don't get your hopes up just yet.

Interesting post (http://www.appleinsider.com/blogs/mac/09/04/28/mac_os_x_10_5_7_released_internally_sources_say.html) on AppleInsider blog.

It seems 10.5.7 has been released internally to Apple developers. The update should be made available for download this week according to the website.
Apple has finally wrapped up development of Mac OS X 10.5.7, which should be made available for download by the general public sometime this week.

A person familiar with the matter claims the update -- the seventh for the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system -- was released internally this week, meaning its available to Apple employees only at this time.

If you're running 10.5.6, have a Time Capsule, and are using FileVault, your home directory is not backed up. How the heck 10.5.6 made it through QA and into release with that kind of bug baffles me.

I could see it making it through QA with a third-party drive connected to an AirPort, but, c'mon - Time Capsule is Apple's own product. You'd think they'd test that sort of thing.

[VSMacOne]

My sources say 10.5.7 will not be released until late May. So don't get your hopes up just yet.

[IT-Pro]

Maybe Tuesday isn't the right day for a 10.5.7 release as most 10.5 releases were on Mondays. There was also one on Wednesday as well as one on Thursday.

According to AppleInsider blog release should be this week, so we probably should just wait for tomorrow or Thursday.

[VSMacOne]

Maybe they're taking so long with this because it might be the last update for 10.5 ... :confused:

[Macmel]

Yesterday (28th) we received this email from the computer guys her at my work place:

"Apple is gonna publish tomorrow MacOS X 10.5.7. As this version causes again a problem with our back up servers, we are testing (so far succesfully) a patch to crrect the problem with Apple's help.
We will inform you tomorrow of how to proceed with the installation. In the meanwhile, do not install this update."

So it seems it is going to be today when it is released.
Cheers

[IT-Pro]

Also, 10.5.7 seems to be required to synchronize notes with the new iPhone OS 3.0 beta 4. As the new beta was published yesterday it seems plausible 10.5.7 would be released on Wednesday, today in my timezone.

Well since we are one day from May now, I'm gonna throw in a wild guess that it will be released on May 7th :D "Mac OS X 10.5.7 released on May 7th" would be kinda cool, or ironic, or both ;) May as well make of game of it since we've waited so long already. I hope it doesn't take another week for release, but at this point I think guessing the winning lottery numbers would be easier than guessing when they will actually get this out to the public.

[IT-Pro]

I wonder why they did that. The blog page didn't say it had been released public, but internal to Apple developers. Although it doesn't make sense they removed it, it just stated release 'should be this week'.

Ok, so like you said earlier; Mac OS X 10.5.7 won't be released until late May, am I right? That would clarify the fact AppleInsider removed their blog posting stating the update was already internally available to Apple developers.

[robco]

Why would Apple wait until the end of May to release the update when it fixes so many bugs that people are obviously having problems with? I, for one, would appreciate the Bluetooth stability as it's very frustrating using my wireless keyboard and mouse when they stop responding for no reason! 10.5.7 would be much appreciated right now!

There's a difference between "waiting" just to piss people off and TESTING to make sure the update doesn't have any regression bugs (fixes that if fixes something, could break something else). They don't want to repeat the "perl" incident they had with 10.5.6.

Oh yeah that would be nice with the Bluetooth mouse/keyboard. Curiously they never seem to stop responding under boot camped Vista. But then again, not much at all is wrong with boot camped Vista.

Apple Insider says...

"Once presumed to be racing towards the finish line with Mac OS X 10.5.7, Apple's now said to be easing into the release of the Leopard update and making sure all its ends are tied.

Rumors of the software's imminent release have swirled for about two weeks now but on Wednesday developers were reportedly asked to put their weight on yet another pre-release distribution carrying build number 9J58.

Like those that came before it, the latest build corrects just a couple of issues -- one related to iChat and the other Safari -- and continues to list incompatibility with the public beta of Safari 4.0 as its lone issue."

Limping Leopard. Grrr....:mad:

If there are no bugs to tie up then that means 10.5.7 is perfect which I dont see as being possible.

I bet it's ready to be released, but maybe they have firmware updates that are being tested to go along with the update. We usually see some kind of firmware update after new Macs have been released. Also, maybe they are putting the final finishes on Safari 4 and will be releasing that along with the update. Whatever the reason, though, I would really like to see 10.5.7 sooner than later.

This might provide some insight to the significance of this update.. it seems like Apple may be cooking a bigger roast than was first thought!! Which would explain the delays ...

Well the only reason that the Nahlem/4870 could be the issue is this bloody pausing bug!

It will be a month next week since i got my MP.

Not acceptable!

Jeepers are we there yet? Releasing an update or planning an orchard?

LAST LEO update!? until Sept?
Too many are thinking under the delusion that SL will be out in a month

Snow Leopard will probably be announced next month when it will ship and that most likely will be Sept or Early October. So 10.5.7 should be out next week or the week after at the latest, and 10.5.8 will be out just before Snow Leopard is due out. Of course this is rumor. ;)

You may give your statement some credibility by telling who your sources are. If you're right we might see another seed this week, perhaps today.

Well so far my prediction is panning out. I been told (I can not get that person fired) that it should come out around the third week of May because it contains code that can be found that will give clues out to what's coming at WWDC + Snow Leopard clues. 10.5.7 will be the last major update until Snow Leopard, mark my words.

I've been on the phone with apple a lot recently concerning a problem with my new Mac Pro. Various tech support, product specialists, and engineers have called me with questions trying to isolate the issue which they wanted to fix "before the next patch." Yesterday I talked to a product specialist who said that the engineers had fixed the issue and put it in 10.5.7, which they expect to be released in the next 4 days.


We'll see... Maybe it will come sooner;)

This is like a significant other that can't commit.

That was a rare post that made me laugh out load.

I just got off the phone with AppleCare. The lady said that 10.5.7 was supposed to come out last week but was pulled back for some reason. She also said that they just updated her computer system this morning to allow her to help people with problems. Hope this means it will be out on monday

Hm. So I guess the question becomes was 61 the gold build, or was 61 the result of the bug that they needed to fix?

The woman i talked to said to expect it at anytime. she did sound like it would be in the next week though.

Well, I am hoping that 10.5.7 will fix the problems with the trackpad for the Macbook Air.

Specifically, the removal of the following options from System Preferences:

1) ignore accidental touches of trackpad
2) ignore trackpad when mouse is connected.

Apple tech support tell me these options were removed as they are on by default. Err, no, they are NOT! The keyboard is basically unusable for me when attempting to type on it due to the lack of these vital options. :(

I fervently hope this design flaw is corrected in 10.5.7 as this is a show-stopper issue for me and my 4 day old Macbook Air; it is about to be returned as "not fit for purpose" :( :( :(

Well what do you say now?

[IT-Pro]

Well what do you say now?
It seems like you were right satcomer. That's what you want to hear, I suppose. Then we just wait until next week, I assume it's still planned for third week of May.

You're joking, right? That's the reason they've delayed this update? Isn't that taking attention to a whole new level for all the wrong reasons?

I... don't know... what to say. :(

I'm not following the "celtikmind" - what are the wrong reasons?
