[Doctor Q]

This is a replacement for the previous discussion thread. We're studying the problem we had with that thread, but in the meantime you can continue to discuss the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update here.

Discussion of the the technical problem should be in this forum feedback thread, not this thread.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

[Willis]

just as a send a mention that its broken. oh well

Yeah, seems ok here to me. 3 computers left!

[wrldwzrd89]

My golly gosh... here's what I had to do after Apple released all these updates:
Apply Mac OS X 10.5.7 update to Installation #1
Reboot (twice)
Apply Safari update to Installation #1
Reboot again
Switch to Installation #2, Reboot
Apply 10.5.7 Update to Install #2
Reboot (twice)
Apply Safari Update to Installation #2
Reboot
Burn 10.5.7, Safari updates to DVD, to apply to other computer
Repeat said process for that computer, too
Switch to other computer's Tiger partition, reboot
Apply Security Update 2009-002, reboot
Apply Safari Update, reboot

Yeesh.

[BongoBanger]

Hmm...

Four hours to download? I think I'll try tomorrow.

Never takes that long with Windows Update but then I suppose they have more practice.

[viperguy]

I'm a lot more excited about SL.
But I'll download this anyway :p

[bxlewi1]

Is it 9J61?

[baruch]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else? http://www.healingmagic.org/sigmessage.jpg

[Edd.Dantes]

Does NOT fix my Mac Pro networking problems.


Any other bright ideas :rolleyes:

[flopticalcube]

Apple really should have split this up into 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 given the number of fixes, the length of time and all the trouble people are having downloading and installing.

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?
This has been happening a lot. Just restart the download.

[youpey]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

i get it too

[Furgster]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

ive gotten that several times, im on like my 6th try right now

[noodle654]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

Got the same thing when trying to download Safari 4 Beta...I give up.

[J B]

Does this mean we can now jailbreak (or at least use DFU mode)?

[stephenxiii]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

yeh have had this a few times, also getting one that says im not
connected to the net.
but i do supose its cos the whole dang world is trying to download it

[bbotte]

Can't get it, it errors out every time, farthest I have made it is 50MB of 449MB. Thanks apple for having all that money in the bank but not enough servers and bandwidth to distribute your updates. It's the iPhone OS update debacle all over again. :mad:

Here at apple we think different, and never learn from our past mistakes.

[mrkgoo]

Just chiming in with an AOK here. Early MacBook Pro, comboupdater. Double restarted, as usual (I'm guessing it loads something up and installs during restart). Installed Safari Public Beta update with no issue (from Software update).

Things to note:

-Drop down menu for power management restored.
-Mac MSN messenger bug still present (where it loses focus in the chat window).
-X11 2.3.3 installs fine
-Repair permissions no longer brings up a string of iPhoto issues (although Front Row remains).
-I restored my AppleUSBMultitouch.kext back to the default 10.5.6 prior to installing 10.5.7. IT looks like it has an incremental update (has the number changed). I wonder of the four finger gesture hack still works?

10.5.7 Build 9J61

[ramzez]

They have brought back fast power energy switching!

[AppleMojo]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else?

Yup, same message here a few times...

[jav6454]

Yup, same message here a few times...

Hold off to the upgrades people...

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else? ... snip ...

Yes, I also got it, which is why I held back trying to further upgrade.

[scotty96LSC]

Go to the Apple site and you can download in about 6 minutes. Then of course you have the double reboot, and all that.

[xDYLANx]

Getting errors. Never past 40mb...this is ridiculous. I'll wait till I'm still up tonight @ 2am.

[Signal-11]

I'll count myself lucky in having a flawless install. Downloaded in about 15 minutes, cleanly rebooted, everything came up. Spotlight had to rebuild its index after everything came up and that took a while. Safari 4 Beta update, again clean reboot.

First Time Machine backup just finished and that took a while. Everything just worked out for me this time.

[stephenxiii]

woow

only 14 hours to download haha
apple you seem to amaze me.
mind you i know it wont take that long

[cthielen]

Too bad about the errors people are having. We have a speedy vlan here and I upgraded two PPCs in just a few mins total. :/

Nothing's different, although I guess Safari 4 beta 2 requires 10.5.7 and beta 2 does seem "snappier", though that could be mental.

[roger6106]

-I restored my AppleUSBMultitouch.kext back to the default 10.5.6 prior to installing 10.5.7. IT looks like it has an incremental update (has the number changed). I wonder of the four finger gesture hack still works?

I didn't restore mine to the default version before updating. When I updated it automatically removed the 4-finger gestures.

This page (http://www.super-poultry.com/2008/12/4-finger-multi-touch-for-older-mbps/) has instructions on how to do the 4-finger hack, although it may not work on 10.5.7. I'm going to wait for someone else to try it first.

[AppleMojo]

ive gotten that several times, im on like my 6th try right now

This is more than likely the cause for the bandwidth problems.

I gave it 3 attempts and you 6, and I can imagine that this is quite common, which equates to a modest increase in bandwidth wasting.

As soon as they identify the package issue, and people are getting the update right on the first download, I am sure all will return to normal.

So ya'll can cancel or at least postpone the "apple, server, bandwidth, hate" posts. ;-)

[Yell0w]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else? http://www.healingmagic.org/sigmessage.jpg

i had that too, i just downloaded the combo installer from the website, and installed it from there.

[Furgster]

im currently at about 70 mb downloaded and it keeps going between 4 hours to completion and 33 hours, this is crazy:confused:

[Orion27]

Went to Apple Downloads as always. Approximate 15 minute download of combo-update. Installed. Double-boot. Safari 4 Beta previously installed. No issues here, MacBook Pro Santa Rosa. Snappy!

[The Flashing Fi]

Things seem better. I'm seeing the beachball more often, but oddly enough, things seem to load faster. It's a bit weird, but whatever.

If you find yourself in a loop after restarting (blue screen, the little loading circle on the bottom keeps appearing and re-appearing), turn your Mac off and turn it back on again. The normal installation should continue. It will restart several times and it should eventually load up Leopard with it updated to 10.5.7.

If you have problems downloading the update, download the update from apple's website. The servers via software update are being hammered right now.

Unfortunately, the safari 4.0 update seems to download really slow and it looks like it's only available via software update.

[bli625]

I've noticed that some people have said that the fast power switching is back in the menu bar. I upgraded to 10.5.7 but I am lacking that option. I'm going to try reinstalling the combo update. Hopefully that works.

[mrkgoo]

Yah, I know how to do it - I can edit the info.plist myself, but I might wait a bit.

[interconnect]

10.5.7 came up as 286 MB, anyone else?

[Axemantitan]

What's new in the Safari update for Tiger users?

[Nikos]

Installed and got stuck on a blue screen. Every few seconds a loading wheel would pop up but that would repeat over and over and it wouldn't go anywhere. I powered off my 17" MBP unibody and tried again. Same thing.The third time I got the Leopard background with a loading wheel that spun a few times, then the computer restarted itself.

Finally, I am able to log in. Hopefully this is stable.

[nvjusme]

I keep getting some DIGITAL SIGNATURE from Apple error...ughh..forget it for now. I wonder if Apple knows about this.

The update doesn't seem to be all that anyways.

I see that some of you are already having this problem too.

[Luap]

Some of you might want to wait on this.. Theres a lot of different problems with it. Either downloading it in the first place, or with installing it, or trying to apply other updates after installing it.
Both my Macs locked up part way through the initial reboot and had to be force shut down. And even then, neither of them started up cleanly afterwards.

And thats just the short of it..

[colourclassic]

mine came up as 286 MB, anyone else?

Yep, 10.5.7 and a 2007 Mac Mini

[staccato83]

I've noticed that some people have said that the fast power switching is back in the menu bar. I upgraded to 10.5.7 but I am lacking that option. I'm going to try reinstalling the combo update. Hopefully that works.

I installed the combo update and I don't have the fast power switching.

[VSMacOne]

I had to restart the update for Safari like 5 times, but each time it added up a little more and finally it was finished. So don't give up, there are probably just a LOT of people downloading at the same time.

[Lancetx]

Downloaded the 10.5.7 Combo Update direct from Apple's support website and have installed on 3 Macs with absolutely no issues here.

[sfbayrealtor]

same issue here as everyone else...get's stuck downloading at around 40MB. Guess I'll wait till later as well...snooze...

[Chrysaor]

If anyone is using OS X with TV or HDMI connection, there is a bug in the update that doesn't allow the native resolution of the display. Temporary solution is to use switchresx.

[hugodrax]

Upgraded my 06 mac pro. no problems. I did notice a faster gui response, sort of like thing snap on the screen faster I guess you could say it seems more snappier?

[Saladinos]

I've been having some issues with OSX recently (sluggish performance, crashes). Going to do the combo update this time.

[Reventon]

Only took about 10 minutes to download. Haven't seen the beach ball yet, and am noticing a slight performance gain. I did find myself in a loop (bluescreen and loading circle) like Fli said, but after turning the machine off, it seems to have installed normally. Initial impressions are that Safari and 10.5.7 aren't bad so far.

[Red-red]

Uni MBP here and it went on smoothly, no problems.

[Saladinos]

I didn't restore mine to the default version before updating. When I updated it automatically removed the 4-finger gestures.

This page (http://www.super-poultry.com/2008/12/4-finger-multi-touch-for-older-mbps/) has instructions on how to do the 4-finger hack, although it may not work on 10.5.7. I'm going to wait for someone else to try it first.

Just use time machine after you update to restore the 10.5.6 kext

[mrkgoo]

Just use time machine after you update to restore the 10.5.6 kext

You go ahead and tell me how that works out. The kext file has a new versions number in 10.5.7.

The safer route would be to edit it yourself. But you need to do a bit of permissions changing, as well as know to restore the Extensions.mkext file, which is a sort of cache for the kernel extensions, I believe.

[bli625]

10.5.7 Build 9J61

My drop down power management menu hasn't been restored. I installed the regular update earlier and then reinstalled the combo update, but the menu is not back. Does anyone know what's causing this?

[acurafan]

took forever to d/l this patch...updated the gf's alum 2.4 macbook, still does not resolve issues with grabbing a dhcp ip addr from startup or out of standby. :(

browsing seems slower, getting more placeholder icons then i normally would off FF 3.5b4...

not even going to bother with my white book, i don't have any problems with 10.5.6 or use safari.

[morphineseason]

These updates aren't even being shown in my Software Update. It just says that everything is up to date every time I check. Anyone else having this problem?

[aprilfools]

I give up. I have got that message at least 10+ times. I have rebooted multiple times. No luck. Wonder what is going on? It has to be more than overloading the Apple server. Software Update wants to download 449 mb to my iMac. If I go direct to the Apple website the update is 442 mb. makes me wonder what I am missing if I go direct to DL it from Apple. I think I will pass and let some time go by like maybe a year. Apple Hello anybody home?

In any case I don't need 10.5.7 that bad for all the hassle.

[Compile 'em all]

Everything running fine over here.

Was kinda disappointed though that I had to reboot for the safari update. What is this, windows?

[mckyvlle]

Does 10.5.7 upgrade iTunes to the latest version?

I use a 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle, so I'm to iTunes v8.0.2. The latest versions of iTunes have lousy behaviour with these Shuffles (discussed elsewhere in this forum and on Apple Discussions).

Any other 2nd-gen Shuffle users upgraded to 10.5.7 and see that the 'correct' behaviour has been restored?

[Buskape]

Everything went fine here, 4 minutes to download, 10 to install reboot - back to desktop. :apple:

After upgrading to 10.5.7, my iTunes is 8.1.1.

[johata3]

Not much change or difference to me. Maybe I'll see it later on when I use the applications.

The download was a bit long. It first failed but I tried re-downloading it again and it was quick.

I was hoping there was some updates on bugs in MS Office stuff like how docs randomly moves to another space.

[kainjow]

Was kinda disappointed though that I had to reboot for the safari update. What is this, windows?

I'm guessing the restart is required because Safari also installs the WebKit framework, which is a system framework and is used by all applications that link to it, so Apple probably wanted to avoid bugs where certain apps would have different versions of the framework loaded. Restarting would make sure every app loads the new version. :)

[bli625]

Everything went fine here, 4 minutes to download, 10 to install reboot - back to desktop. :apple:

Buskape, do you have the power management options in the menu bar?

[Signal-11]

My install went without a hitch, but I've hit hiccups during updates before. These are the situations where a verbose mode during the update process could help.

For those of you having trouble through Software Update, the general solution is almost always to download the Combo Update directly from Apple, then apply it without using Software Update. I had the same security/save issues in various other incremental updates as well and this is the first thing to do if Software Update is not working for you.

In fact, some would say that it's technically cleaner.

[erkster]

Well, I have run the update and now my two external drives no longer work via USB on my MacBook...tried reinstalling via the combo update and still no joy.

Both drives are self powered and dont register in either direct connection or via a hub, they appear in System Profiler but not in disk utility.

They are Buffalo DriveStations and are working perfectly on my 10.5.6 iBook, just not under 10.5.7 on my MacBook...

Anyone else had a similar problem yet?

[Buskape]

Buskape, do you have the power management options in the menu bar?

The same one as before

The options to switch cards was taken out in 10.5.6 and reportedly put back in 10.5.7, but I am lacking these. Are you lacking them as well?

[MacTheSpoon]

All right, I give up on using Software Update for this. Having the same delays/errors as others. I'll try using the direct download link instead.

[Signal-11]

Signal-11, do you have the power management options in the menu bar?

I'm a little confused. What power management in the menu bar? I assume you're referring to the battery/power management icon in the tools section of the menu bar?

Someone else mentioned the same problem with an external drive in the "lost" thread, but I don't know if the external in that case was USB or not.

Supposedly, the ability to switch graphics mode are supposed to appear in that menu following the 10.5.7 update.

[jordan eff]

my download went completely fine but now my startup time has went from 35seconds to 2mins 20secs and i've restarted 4 times to try it

what causes this and will it speed up again?

[baddj]

All went well it took me 12mins to download :)

[PsudoPowerPoint]

My 13" MacBook 5,1 Core 2 Duo needed to restart, and restart again after the install (slow and a bit scary). On the third try it worked without problems.

[bli625]

Downloading the update from the site works much faster. I downloaded the combo update from the website in a few minutes.

Is your Spotlight index rebuilding? Upper right corner, is there a dot in the middle of the Spotlight "lens"?

[NewMacbookPlz]

w0rd.

The auto updater froze up at 38.5MB. Direct link to the combo update, and it's coming down at a stable 1.5MBps

<3 12Mbps Comcast connection!

[electronboy]

Apple really should have split this up into 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 given the number of fixes, the length of time and all the trouble people are having downloading and installing. ...

AGREED.

Three out of three machines went into endless reboot cycles. :eek:

All three clean and not a single customization or hack. Wait this one out.

no theres no dot in the middle of the spotlights icon

Did you look at his image? The options for presets (better battery life, better performance etc) are absent.

It's nothing to do with resolution switching. bb714 is talking about switching the graphics card - hence the additional options in the battery menu.

[bli625]

I have a Unibody Macbook Pro. When I go to "About This Mac", it says I have 10.5.7 installed, but I do not have those options which means that 10.5.7 wasn't completely installed? I tried reinstalling twice already to no avail.

Finally, I am able to log in. Hopefully this is stable.

I also got stuck on the blue screen... but after forcing a power down and restarting, I am back to normal after a few restarts by the computer and seeing default Leopard wallpaper. the install seems to just have gotten stuck, but it's all good now.

also, my energy icon is finally a fluorescent bulb!

[JNRidgway15]

Just checked software update again safari Public beta 4 update available for download :eek:

[MacTheSpoon]

All right, well, using the direct download link was properly fast, and although I did encounter the blue screen loop, I turned my computer off and on like other posters and the install proceeded successfully.

Afterwards, the new Safari 4 beta installed flawlessly and quickly via Software Update. And it looks like the new beta can "Check Mail" properly using Yahoo Webmail, a feature that was broken under the old beta. Yay!

[rfrankl]

Mine still shows the old style bulb??

[smartalic34]

what did you upgrade from... mine has always been a fluorescent bulb

I upgraded from 10.5.6, but on a core duo MBP. the newer mac models shipped with the fluorescent bulb in system preferences, or received them in an update, but the older core duo models have had incandescent bulbs up until this update.

[infinitethrill]

So I just downloaded the update (not combo, regular) and installed it. When my Late 06 MacBook went to reboot, it would glitch out, (pic included), go back to verbose logout, blue screen, then glitch, and back again. Did this 10 times before I held the power button and it rebooted again, then again, then got right up to where the login window should of been, where it had the verbose text but with the blue screen transparently over the text. Rebooted again, everything seems to be working now.

I don't have any serious modifications to the system, this is a fresh install on a new hard drive that I have been running for 2 weeks.

Think I should worry or just think everything went fine?


Edit: This is probably the log of what was happening...

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7877/picture1ooq.png

[Signal-11]

Yes

That was a response to a prior question about why it might be taking so long to boot. If he rebooted while Spotlight were building the index, would take a while before everything came up to speed on the next boot.

Anyway, once it rebuilds, try rebooting again. Shouldn't be an issue.

[parapup]

my download went completely fine but now my startup time has went from 35seconds to 2mins 20secs and i've restarted 4 times to try it

what causes this and will it speed up again?

I haven't measured the boot time yet but after update my MBP4,1 startup is definitely sluggish. I did a combo update just to be sure.

But since I never reboot this machine, I am not that concerned. I am a bit reluctant to put 10.5.7 on my work MBP2,2 as it gets rebooted often and it has been working like a champ for some time now.

[TheSpaz]

Is it me or does the "changes" list look pretty small compared to what everyone was expecting.... unless they're just pointing out the most noticeable changes.

[Willis]

Safari 4 is still rubbish. Msn typing issue is still there. Urgh. I want faster Java-ness and stuffs without having to re-click the damn text box everytime I want to talk to a friend. =(

[Chrysaor]

Is it me or does the "changes" list look pretty small compared to what everyone was expecting.... unless they're just pointing out the most noticeable changes.

10.5.7 is more than just "bug fixes", it adds a lot of hardware support (Core i7, Radeon 4000, native ICH10, Marvell 88E8040 support and more) especially great for hackintosh users. :)

It's repairing permissions for every applications and going in and out of them.

Anyone know why? :confused:

It might be my eyes but our demo 17" UMBP looks less embarrassingly dim.

Still looks like a 15" UMBP at half-brightness though, almost off compared to the 17" MBP immediately preceding it.

[impaler]

10.5.7 came up as 286 MB, anyone else?

286 here as well.

[jensepollense]

Has this update messed up anyone else's mail.app? I had both a MobileMe and my school's email set up with Mail, but when I restarted it only had the Mobile Me account with no signs of my school's account. After reentering all the information, the school account worked again but every time I quit the application it completely deletes the whole school account. It just seems to remember the Mobile Me account.

Anyone else have this problem?

[n20nine]

yay did the update in the morning before my test, system feels a bit snappier now...gonna hold final judgement after a week.so far so good, dont forget to do a software update after rebooting to update safari 4 beta.

[morphineseason]

OK, so I ended up manually downloading the update from Apple's site. The update went normally on my white iMac, but on my Macbook and Mac Mini went into this endless graphical glitch before the restart stage. I had to hold down the power button to do a hard shut down on each, but after powering back on, everything went normally as far as I could tell.

I wonder if the graphical glitch has to do with the onboard Intel chips I have on the Mac Mini and Macbook compared to the ATI onboard graphics of my iMac.

Downloaded the combo update as I had multiple MBPs to update in the family.

On the MBP4,1 - update went well but it made the thing very sluggish to boot. After boot everything is normal but boot is annoyingly slow.

On the MBP2,2 - update went well, machine boots as fast as it used to and everything is very snappy like before.

Also - I have no fluorescent Energy bulb in preferences - same old incandescent one on the MBP4,1 whereas on the MBP2,2 I've got the fluorescent one! :confused:

Come on Apple, later machines ought to be greener than the older ones ;)

[EagerDragon]

MBP 15 1st gen unibody, no issues so far. System rebooted twice on its own. 10.5.7 running smoothly and maybe it is my imagination, but the laptop feels cooler and I do not hear the fan going either.

System update does not yet shows the Safari update.

All nice and smooth.

System feels more responsive and also applications like email, and safari start faster than before 10.5.7. I reboot a few times a month this is the fastest I seen the system after a reboot EVER. Maybe it is me, but does feels much better than with 10.5.6. The word that comes to mind is SILKY.

Alright this is very odd and very, very annoying...

Suddenly my trusty MacMini has become absolutely unaware that it's projecting the signal to my Samsung R37 TV. The resolution is all out of whack!

I can hardly read the text I am typing now, I can't see Samsung in the monitors selection anymore and it doesn't detect it either.

It shows that it's able to project 1920 x 1080 which I wasn't even aware it could, it's the MacMini Core Duo not Core 2 Duo, so I'm surprised.

Either way the resolution is horrible even in 1920, it's too rough and the text is too rough and soft on the edges.

Furthermore, I can't zap the PRAM to see if it would help cause when I do that, the keyboard or rather the Mini Doesn't respond to my key combinations.

What the heck went wrong? Anyone out there with the same issues? or some ideas of how I can make it work with my LED TV again?

There was a few reports of this in the thread that broke, along with a resolution. You need to search for a config utility to get it working. Sorry I cant help more with the name

[magamo]

Apparently 10.5.7 didn't fix the permission data related to iLife apps in the reference .bom, and Disk Utility still gives a bunch of permission discrepancies when repairing permissions. I know this isn't a problem per se because it's just .bom fooled Disk Utility into believing there should be real files when actually there are symbolic links. But I was expecting 10.5.7 to fix it.

I could not install 10.5.7 via Software Update. Tried it twice. All sorts of errors and it would not download. Went for the combo package. Downloaded OK. Took a long time tho on a fast DSL connection. Installed and did a restart. Spinning wheel spinning, stopped spinning, spinning, stopped, etc. Hit the power button on my MacPro to shut it down. OK. Did restart. Start up ok, Leopard galaxy screen came up -- which I do not use. Wait, wait, wait. Mac auto restarted twice. finally got my desktop and all seems well so far. We'll see. I've NEVER had a problem like this before on my G4 or my MacPro.

I don't get a lot of you guys who are having trouble downloading 10.5.7 using the Software Update from the Apple menu.

If you post here, it means (presumably) that you read this forum regularly. If so, you would have read infinitum that, whenever there's a major OSX update, the safest thing for your system is to download the Combo .dmg file -- the one that contains all the updates from 10.5.1 through to the latest -- and re-installs everything nicely.

Ever since about 10.5.2, I've been doing that without trouble. Surely by now this is widespread knowledge, at least for people who regularly read this forum. And if you're posting here, chances are you should be regular readers.

Sheeesh, you guys.

There were posts in the thread that was here before it got deleted about resolution problems. Someone was trying to use a Samsung 4 Series or tv or something.. I don't remember. I don't think it ever got resolved. This update seems to have introduced more problems than it has fixed. :(

Thanks, yeah I'm on a Series 4 model... Sucks to be me right now... Why oh why does it always happen? Instead of a simple update, a world of odd bugs appear... I wish I could downgrade to the OS before this without any major complications. :(

Thanks a Yahoo Apple.

[mrkgoo]

Apparently 10.5.7 didn't fix the permission data related to iLife apps in the reference .bom, and Disk Utility still gives a bunch of permission discrepancies when repairing permissions. I know this isn't a problem per se because it's just .bom fooled Disk Utility into believing there should be real files when actually there are symbolic links. But I was expecting 10.5.7 to fix it.

I had a bunch of iPhoto ones that used to appear - they've gone now.

[Sehnsucht]

Are you downloading from the apple site or software update?

Software update.

Always make a backup before an Apple point release.

[Lyra]

There! I changed it!

I didnt mean that in a rude way. It's just that the whole thread is being bogged down with the same problem and the solutions are getting lost among all that!

Ok, sorry I didn't mean to snap, I'm just frustrated that my screen is all crazy now and I have no clue what went wrong. I've tried everything and it's a bit hard to search through anything with texts that look like small bugs. I'm in shock at how this could happen. It's completely unaware that a TV is plugged into it and the resolutions are all wrong. It's not meant to do those numbers and yet it does... albeit not very well...

It doesn't matter what you are using. If you are using TV or HDMI connection, resolution is screwed up. Use switchresx for temporary solution.

I'm starting to think having enabled the TimeMachine would be a good idea.

[Keniff]

I got around this by downloading the file from the 1st post of the thread. The only issue though, is I got stuck on a blue screen, had to power down hard style, then it self-rebooted 2-3 times after I powered up; now all is well.

After having the same issue, I did Disk Utilities and Tech Tool Pro 4, just prior to download.
Everything was fine (it's a new machine).
Then I took it from the original post, then got the 'Blue Screen!' after 10 years of owning a Mac, I've never had that!
It just went on for an hour, I thought maybe I'd leave it, in hope it was just taking time to re-boot itself.
In the end I switched it off and did a reset Pram on it!

Then it just continued to restart itself maybe 5 times!

I've now turned it off completely, unplugged it from the wall and taken all usb/firewire/speaker connections out, and I'm off to bed...

eFF it!
I'll work it out 2moro...

Night all...x

[aaquib]

wow video playback is 100x better with 10.5.7. 1080p video is extremely smooth.

Good to hear! Hopefully it's the same on a Rev.A MBA.

I don't get a lot of you guys who are having trouble downloading 10.5.7 using the Software Update from the Apple menu.

while I agree that the combo is the superior download, the regular update through software update is sufficient for most users. the combo update is most useful if you have problems... but if your current install isn't giving you problems, there really isn't any reason why software update won't give you a problem-free update.

but, if an issue arises, the combo will likely fix it:)

[flopticalcube]

I'm starting to think having enabled the TimeMachine would be a good idea.

I started doing regular backups after a Tiger release messed up and I had to reinstall. Its a painful but valuable lesson.

[chrisandersen]

I was hoping for an update to Airport. Still running 7.3.2 waiting on a 7.4.2 to come out. My two macs updated with software update perfectly.

[Prof.]

OMG thank you, apple! I've been waiting for a long time for a Safari 4 update. It has been crashing at least 10 times a day. I was losing my mind! Let's hope the update fixes the crashing problem.

[youpey]

got it isnstalled using the combo. i had to hard shutdown because i was getting a blue screen loop. after that, it did its stuff and it was good.

everything seems to be the same, nothing is running faster or slower. all is good here

[Willis]

OMG thank you, apple! I've been waiting for a long time for a Safari 4 update. It has been crashing at least 10 times a day. I was losing my mind! Let's hope the update fixes the crashing problem.

doubtful... its build number went up .01 which is most likely to be 10.5.7 compatible

[lazyrighteye]

I have received this message a few times and had the download quit. Anyone else? http://www.healingmagic.org/sigmessage.jpg

I was seeing Download Time Remaining as high as 24 hours, as low as 2 hours - eventually settling somewhere around 5 hours.
Then about 20 minutes into the download, I received the above message.

So I selected OK, Quit Software Update, Restarted my MacBook (2.16 GHz C2D, 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM) and relaunched Software Update.
This time, it took ~5 minutes to download & install 10.5.7.

Not sure what the hang up was, but Restarting seemed to fix. For me.
Good luck.

[yojitani]

The word that comes to mind is SILKY.
GO :apple:!!!!!!!!

Silky is the new snappy? :D

I'm going to download and test later. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this fixes the problem with MS Word and Spaces? I've actually stopped using Word because of it.

[dL.]

I'm very disappointed with Apple. Come on. How hard does it take to make sure the update works for people? I've never had any problems with any update until now.

Blue screen froze for about 30 min so I had to force shutdown, then it rebooted 3 times and now I finally see my desktop.

Seriously...

dL

[ghking]

i just got OWNED by the 5.7 update.

I installed it off of apple's site (because it wouldn't let me through Software Update), installed,then restarted. When it was shutting down the screen alternated between a few shades of blue and a white screen every like 10 seconds for about an hour. I had no other choice but to pull the plug. I tried to boot back up but it wouldn't probably due to corruption so now i am on a PC waiting for my mac to restore Leopard from the DVD. :(

[Signal-11]

but, if an issue arises, the combo will likely fix it:)

That's just it though. There have been a LOT of people who are telling every one of these guys who are having the strange installs to A) Use the Combo update and/or B) Repair permissions. This has been repeated again and again in this thread as well as the one that died.

I actually want to talk about some of the aspects of the update but it keeps getting flooded out by posters who are posting nothing of value other than than screenshots of the permission error. Consider yourself lucky if this is the first time that this has ever happened to you and take either or both of the solutions that are being proffered.

Back to the update, yeah, 1080p on my 2.5Ghz Penryn 4GB RAM 8600GT 512MB is noticeably smoother than it was before. ITunes store has always been absurdly slow and not noticing any differences. Safari 4 Beta, feels the same as the previous Safari 4 Beta.

[thisguyukno]

Before, I had the 'digital signature' error that everyone was getting from the software update download. Repaired disk permissions, restarted and my os upgrade went smoothly there after. no hard reboots or any weird errors. safari 4 update went smoothly too. we'll see how everything pans out as far as performance issues. good so far.

[YahonMaizosz]

Does this update fix the issues with mini displayport to Dual link DVI???

[magamo]

Always make a backup before an Apple point release.

While this is so true and backup is always recommended, somehow I also feel it's strange to have to worry about possible problems when I'm installing something that is supposed to fix issues. I know a point upgrade is kind of big and could cause a problem, but still...

[okrelayer]

update went flawless. Downloaded in like 12 min, installed all within about 20 min. However i dont see any of those updated preferences in the battery meter section. Am i missing something?

I agree. The ironic thing is that Microsoft updates work flawlessly on my Windows installations. For some reason, Microsoft updates "just work".

Yeah that sucks :(

My issues were insignificant compared to what your system is doing.
Obviously you've tried restarting with no screen plugged in and then plugging it in, right?

Sorry I can't help more.

And yours is actually a VALID issue, and pretty unique as well.

[likemyorbs]

ok wow, i just tried installing this and got the error. im not going out of my way to install it either, apple better get this fixed so i can update straight from software update. this is ridiculous. very un-applelike, this is supposed to just work.

[mikeinternet]

Ugg. That was mess.

Anyone see any differences?

[MartiNZ]

except for Vista SP1.

dL

I've never had a problem with any Vista updates. I think one has an advantage running it under boot camp as one knows there aren't going to be any driver issues - no weird finger-print scanner that never gets driver updates to allow sp1 to even show up, nothing like those sorts of stories that went around.

No, Vista updates have always just worked - Vista overall has in fact.

Mind you, I've never had a problem with an OS X update either. I get each one the day it comes out, except I was lucky enough to be away and offline when the nasty 10.2.7 update came out and messed things up for a lot of people.

Nice to see specific points about improving dashboard widgets, but I don't imagine they've fixed the iTunes widget crash - I'll install it when I get home and find out, and either I'll get to submit feedback on it for the 20th time, or it will be fixed ... win win imo.

[wolfpackfan]

I'm getting the same digital signature error. It's ridiculous, I've about decided Apple is incapable of doing anything right anymore. Mobile Me all over again. Well, since I'm using Windows 7 under Boot Camp 95% of the time now, to heck with the update. I may get around to installing in a month or so, when/if they get the problems fixed.

[likemyorbs]

Apple should really pull this update until it can flawlessly install on every system

[VSMacOne]

Ugg. That was mess.

NOthing major so far.... :confused:

[danielwsmithee]

Yes that is what it looks like ... you should have your graphics card in slot 1 where your sonnet card is ... then the Sonnet card can go anywhere you want.

Just e-mailed Steve Jobs about this, not that he would care but meh :D

I'm not gonna update my iMac until this gets fixed. By then, Snow Leopard will be out lol.

Well here's the latest on the issue which is affecting quite a lot around the web in different Mac Forums.

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9455411&#9455411

But to be honest even this switchResX is driving me nuts... it's not even close to looking like it used to... the text is hard to read and the entire thing is way too dark now.

Apple has had issues like this before, but NOT THIS BAD!

And yeah I've tried to reboot without the DVI to HDMI plug in. I tried to zap the PRam but it's not responding to my Keyboard... I don't get that by the way, for a while now the Mac Mini when restarting doesn't reply to my keyboard.

[EricBrian]

Bluetooth no longer works for me at all. :(

[ryannazaretian]

Installed and got stuck on a blue screen. Every few seconds a loading wheel would pop up but that would repeat over and over and it wouldn't go anywhere. I powered off my 17" MBP unibody and tried again. Same thing.The third time I got the Leopard background with a loading wheel that spun a few times, then the computer restarted itself.

Finally, I am able to log in. Hopefully this is stable.

I was getting that too. I did basically the same, forced it to turn off about about 10 minutes of it cycling through blue screens, and turned it back on, then it finished the install. Just to be safe I reapplied the update and it worked perfectly that time.

[Aranince]

Everything is fine here except CS:Source through Crossover is broken. Other then that...no problems.

[bli625]

I had this exact same problem. I tried installing the 400mb pack through software update and I was missing the power settings menu. I then tried installing the 700mb pack from the apple site and it still didn't fix it. I'm currently in the process of reinstalling OSX.. and then I'll be applying the 700mb pack. I'll let you know if that works out.

I'm disappointed. I just reinstalled OSX from scratch and then applied the combo update thinking it would fix the power settings menu problem... but it didn't. Any other suggestions guys? It seems like there's been two cases of the power settings not appearing in the menu bar so far.

[likemyorbs]

im amazed apple hasnt issued a statement about this yet

[itou]

looks like they've pulled it now.
tried software update just a minute ago on my mac pro and it's no longer there...

Must be Software Update server problems.

some of us have 1.5mbp/s

right now i'm 15.5mb/449 and with "About 3 hours" left.

Does anybody else not have the option to select graphics cards from the menu bar after installing 10.5.7?

[adisor19]

I'm disappointed. I just reinstalled OSX from scratch and then applied the combo update thinking it would fix the power settings menu problem... but it didn't. Any other suggestions guys? It seems like there's been two cases of the power settings not appearing in the menu bar so far.

If you installed it and did an Archive and Install make sure the first thing you do after it boots up for the first time is to permanently delete the old archived system folder. I noticed that the os updater is dumb and it actually updated the archived system folder and NOT the freshly installed OS. You can check this by comparing the version numbers for iCal.app or System Preferences.app in both the archived folder and your running install. You'll notice that the archived system folder actually gets updated..

Hmm, i should really open a bug report with Apple about this but i just don't have time to mess around with my system in order to offer them proof..
