This was addressed in depth earlier in the thread. Short answer, unless you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you won't see that option. But some fiddling with a pref file can trick it, assuming you have an iPod of some type.
 
I'm at work, so I just downloaded the 530+ MB combo updater (at about 2.5MByte/sec) to my thumb drive. I'll take it home and install later tonight.
 
Major nastiness on my end. I waited about 15 minutes for the reboot to happen and the screen auto dimmed. I had to hard restart after that. The logs show that the computer might have had a panic but OS X didn't mention anything when I came back just fine. I'm going to recover from my last Time Machine backup and kill all my third party services this time around. Good thing I just used the Combo updater and saved it. ;)

OS X came back just fine but the permissions were trashed for a lot of /Library.
 
iTunes coverflow freeze resolved w/ this version?

Did anyone else have this issue - when browsing iTunes coverflow using the mouse scroll it freezes the machine COMPLETELY (hard restart required).

If so, if anyone has installed 10.5.3, I'm wondering if it's been fixed?
 
If there are minor 'bugs' w/ this update... when do they fix them?

I'm a newbie and was wondering if there are common minor bugs ppl experience w/ this update, does Apple fix these up soon (afew a few days/weeks), or do you pretty much have to wait a few months until .4 comes out?
 
ok thanks only reason i ask seems like the link is 540mb somewhat

and if i do it from my macbook it's only 420mb??

would i get more stuff installed and waste more space ??

I have an ipod classic.

But why only with an iphone or ipod touch? I find that the most f***cking stupid analogy ever....:mad:


Now I have a bigger problem.... My iMac went into a full system freeze, spaces was not operational, nor was the menu or dock, only the mouse was moving. So clearly a complete system freeze. It happened because I entered time machine while pressing something in my finder sidebar. My HD was still "working", assuming it was applying the update, after a while, when the clicking stopped, I did a hard reset of my iMac, it did the two startup sounds, that made me feel good. But address book, hasnt been update (for Get Info) since Feb. 12. That was 10.5.2. About this mac says I have 10.5.3, and the installer doesnt let me install it cuz it says i already have it, but i am not convinced I have gotten the full update.


Any ideas? When is your address book last modified from Get Info?

Luckily I have an Apple Mighty Mouse with the little rubber nipple for a scroll ball, so scrolling is only an issue for about 10 minutes after I cleaned it for half an hour.
 
Pirates of Caribbean Online

For the kids:

Either Disney fixed it today in an invisible non-update, or 10.5.3 has corrected the problem wherein Pirates would crash after logging in on PPC machines with 10.5.2.

The game will try to reapply the first five updates that were already downloaded, but this time it will take longer, and I guess it actually works.

Apple normally includes the latest Flash Player in their OS X updates, but 10.5.3 still doesn't include Flash 9.0.124.0, which Adobe released in early April. This is really irresponsible of Apple, given that 20,000 or more web pages out there have reportedly been compromised to include code to redirect to sites exploiting one of the (many) vulnerabilities in 9.0.115.0:
http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1189
http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2008/05/potential_flash_player_issue_u_1.html

Granted, those exploits are probably Windows-only, but now that Macs use the same processor architecture as Windows boxes, Apple can't afford to just assume no one's going to go to the (relatively small) extra trouble to make variants of their Flash (and other cross-platform software) exploits for OS X.

Anyhow, OS X users who don't want to be vulnerable any longer will need to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH to install 9.0.124.0 using Adobe's installer.

Why is Flash Apple's problem? I'd actually rather update it myself, being a developer. What if I need the previous version for something and Apple shoved the latest at me?

Just saying, something like Flash I can understand why they wouldn't update it.

My address book version is 4.1.1 (695)

You really shouldn't be doing things while installing the updates.

I have always been able to reapply updates using the combo update
 
OMG I fixed my wireless problem!!!

Hawkeye411 said:
CRAP!!! Now the wireless issue I was having is worse than ever!!

My wireless throughput speed keeps dropping to zero when downloading a file. It peaks for about 2 sec, drops to zero for 2 sec, peaks for 2 sec, etc. etc. etc. This happens for both uploading and downloading.

I used to be able to use my MacBook for about 30min before the problem would occur but now it happens as soon as I turn it on.

I'm gonna try a fresh install to see if it fixes the problem. If not I'm gonna turf the MacBook and buy something else. It's been a problem for about a year or so.

Cheers.

OK ... after 1 year I finally figured out why my wireless connection throughput speed would fluctuate. I made a new thread with the details. Here is the link to the thread. Just thought I would post a link to the thread in here since I discussed it earlier.

Cheers.
 
Has anyone determined why some people get 190MB, and others get 420??

I updated my 6 month old MBP and got 192.
I updated my wife's 1 month old MacBook (white), and she got 420.

Both were running 10.52.

Ran 10.5.3 on the wife's MacBook Air. Now it will not start- I get the bong, the Apple logo, the wheel, and then it dies. Called Apple and tried to boot to an install disk from my MBP- got a "do not enter" symbol. Apple says HW failure, send it in.

Anyone successfully update a MacBook Air???

Installed it an hour ago - absolutely no problems.

Updated Powerbook G4 and all is fine. In fact I notice no immediate difference. I still can't connect to some wireless networks which is a problem introduced with Leopard. (which is a different problem than the wireless dropout issue).
 
8800GT performance

Preliminary testing says ProApps performance is up!

Barefeats test (with better system than mine in parenthesis):
Atom Strand: 14.93 (16.4)
Dotted Axis: 17.89 (30.4) !
Directions: 19.68 (21.2)
Blocks detail: 58.92 (could not fit everything in RAM, rendered 9 seconds only)
Brush Open: 25.26 [PAL], 23.99 [NTSC] (25.2)
Light Open: 39.49 (46.5)
Satin Blue Background: 31.76 (34.4)
Sketch Open: 24.5 (23.2)

Notes: Testing was very unscientific. Specs are Mac Pro 2.66 Mac OS X (10.5.3) 4 GB Ram, 8800GT, 6.66 TB + 150GB 10K RPM Raptor vs BF's "Early 2008" 16GB RAM machine. And also BF does not mention if they are using NTSC or PAL templates. Still results seem to have improved in most cases. Obviously this should have been tested against my own machine running 10.5.2, but I didn't have time to run those tests. Suffice to say it "feels" faster.

I have been on the phone with Apple engineering and they are constantly working on new drivers and are very aware of the problems. Obviously he couldn't give me any details, but he said that because the 8800 is a newer card they had to write their drivers for stability first, optimisation second. That's the part they are working on now. He also said there would be improvement "soonish". I'm guessing the 10.5.3 update was what he was talking about. If you want to help them directly, sign up for a student ADC account and file your bugs and test cases at http://bugreporter.apple.com. Apple is listening and is working on it.
