10.5.3 Is Out!

Not really noticed anything different - in terms of speed and reliability.

But might have fixed things and I've just not realised since it is working the way it should.
 
Bummer...

Video playback in iTunes, Quicktime and Safari is totally chunky, slow and unresponsive. Safari is the worst, even loading a Youtube video takes 78-98% of CPU. The playback is horrendous.

Granted, I have a Aluminum Powerbook, 1.25ghz, 1G ram, but the difference is HUGE after the install. Thanks for tanking my PB, Apple.:mad:

EDIT: I restarted the machine several times and video playback in Safari and everything else seems to be working just fine. In fact, Safari seems... I dunno, snappier? ;)
 
In response to the question about command-Q to quit Fusion, I didn't have any problem a few minutes ago (Fusion 1.1.2).

I downloaded the 531MB combo updater in about a minute (client has 100Mb Internet connection : )

Installed on MacBook without issue. Two reboots and no generally noticeable differences.

I did do a test and DVD Player actually launched without kernel panic with only 700MB of RAM free!!
I didn't have an actual movie to play for testing, but in the past, this had been irrelevant. Hopefully, the SR MacBook w/ 4GB of RAM and DVD Player KP issue has been resolved.

I haven't been using wireless much the past few months, but haven't been having any issues at home, and previously had had problems with my MacBook and my Linksys router. Wireless seemed to have gotten better in the middle of .2, so that doesn't make much sense. Won't argue, though.

Other than wireless flakiness and DVD Player KPs, I haven't had any issues with Leopard, so .1, .2, and .3 were generally unimportant to me. If I can indeed use DVD Player with reckless abandon now, I will be really happy. Oh, I did appreciate the Stacks fix, but find it annoying that you can't drill down into Aliases of folders. Only select the alias itself. This worked fine in 10.3 and 10.4...

Overall, very happy with Leopard from Day 1. 10.5.3 may make computing life just that little bit happier.

Happy computing!
 
What happens if you downloaded the update, but when it was downloading the actual update itself, during the restart, I killed it because it was going too slow. Is there anywhere that I can restart the install of 10.5.3, or do I have to reinstall?

If your tm drive is mounted but the backup image isn't, then your image has probably become corrupted. I've had this happen in 10.5.2. Restart and try again, but you may have to delete your backups and start over.

Slow down, pardner, there are ways to fix a corrupt sparsebundle. Let's not be too hasty with our deleting.
 
I just finished installing my update.

My fan has been going nuts, the temp got to 160 F, and my external is making a lot of noise.
 
My computer just grew some bionic legs and walked out the door after I installed the update.

Ever considered that Spotlight might be reindexing your HD and causing the slowdown?

Just got the update on my BlackBook SR, 2 whole hrs left on a 8MB DSL connection. Me thinks its time to get a cold one...hopefully its worth the wait
Click to expand...

Update: So i updated after about an hr plus change and short experience as follows:

-Took two reboots

-One of the reboots cause my fans to go full blast AND its still going full blast few minutes later as i type this and my temps are at 77C

-Disk utility now has a warning message that repairing permissions will take long (yes i repair permissions occasionally because i mess around with my system quite often...deal with it) and subsequently takes about 4/5 minutes

-Things seem zippier...including Safari

-Spotlight results window still shambolic

-All my apps (including VMWare) work as per normal

-DVD+4GB KP issue seems to be fixed although i only had that issue once throughout 10.5.2

I cant comment on Airport issues since i never had any since 10.5.0

Overall a solid update as always doesn't seem to have broken anything for me

DOCK DOCK DOCK DOCK!!!!

FIX THE DOCK APPLE!!!!

There is STILL no way to SINGLE-CLICK a FOLDER in the DOCK and have it just, ummmmm, OPEN!!!! DUH!!!!

To have to do 2 clicks just to open a folder in the dock is SOOOOO WINDOWS!


Also, Safari STILL fails to block many pop-up windows.
Click to expand...

Why does it need to open a finder window of the folder you are already looking inside?

Also, if this is a folder that for whatever reason (too many objects inside?) that you prefer opening in a finder window, I would just right click on it, and click open.
 
Combo applied on G4 iBook and SR MBP with zero issues. Error logs are clean; I'll play with it through the weekend. The only issues I really had that irked me were the "wake from sleep" and "kernel panic from nvidia's crappy drivers".
 
Hey they fixed Word 2008 not working with Expose correctly (not showing the titles of the windows). I guess this was a Leopard problem?? And all this time I was blaming Microsoft.

Edit: Actually it still does it, just not all the time now...
 
I've downloaded it and installed, rebooted and it did a few things (indexed my Time Machine drive and did a new backup afterwards) and since then my fans have been running at 6000+ rpms, and the processor chip at 181 F, is anybody else having this problem? They haven't cooled down or slown down at all:confused:

In other news about how I feel about the update, Safari seems much slower at times, as well as other apps.

After updating and waiting for ages for my MBP to restart, when it finally did, it transported itself into hyperspace and sent me a holographic message noting that it is now running a 256-core quantum processor with 16TB of plasma RAM. Thats all well and good, but I'm really, REALLY angry apple, that the holographic message was displayed using the same nasty typeface from 10.5.2. AND IN GREY!!±!! AND, I STILL can't make the computer do what I want by typing the wrong commands into hacked software (via multitouch hyper-keyboard obv).

This update really is rubbish and you never listen to your customers (ie. me).

Apple, when will you give ME what I WANT!!!!!!!

.ahem. relax.

(Not aimed at you onejed1) !
 
this seems to have fixed an issue with the firewall where everytime i'd startup my computer it'd ask me if i wanted to allow mdnsresponder and configd.

Strange.. I have a folder on my dock that opens in Finder with a single click. I think I dragged it on to the dock.

had the same problem on my PB, but another restart sorted it out.

good luck!

everything runs really smooth now.
 
Everything is working fine .. Even VMWare Fusion

I run a bootcamp partition of Windows XP SP3 using VMWare Fusion 1.1.

After the 10.5.3 update, Windows running in Fusion no longer accepts any keyboard input. I can't even log into Windows now. Either the Mac beeps at me (as if I were trying to click outside a modal dialog) or it just ignores key presses altogether when I try to type in my login password in Windows.

I may have to install Fusion 2 beta or reinstall my copy of Parallels 3 and try that.

Everything seems to be working just fine. Hopefully this fixes the wireless issues I have been having for the past year <lol>.

Cheers.

Downloading this huge update...

Always have a backup before you do a software update. You people do backup your computer, right?
 
Works fine!

10.5.3 works just fine on my PowerMac G5 2Ghz 2.5GB Ram Radeon 9600XT.

Feels good, though 10.5.2 felt just as well.
Download took about 25 minutes and it did two reboots (by itself).
OS X load and shutdown times are the same.
Expose' seems a little better.
