10.5.3 Is Out!

My Mac won't boot after the 420MB update 🙁 Just sits at the gray Apple boot screen with the spinning progress bar thingy. Left it for four hours last night doing that. I can hear my hard drive doing all sorts of things but it just wont boot. 😕

No synchronize with Google option on my Address Book.

Did you change the entry in the ipod.plist? After that, the entry should be there. Plugging in an IPod with activated address synchronisation triggered the synchronisation with Google (in my case it prompted for resolving some double entries in the address books).
 
AEBS Disk — Time Machine Works

OK, have now taken the plunge. No problems syncing using the AEBS Airdisk with Time Machine on a Penryn Macbook Pro. First sync takes a while, but that's because of a shed load of altered files. That was my main worry.

So far so good...🙂
 
The google contact sync is just what I've been missing, but it isn't working for me. I've tried it with and without the @gmail.com extention, and it won't authenticate...

+Photoshop tool pallet seems to be fixed (not staying gray or blank)

Photoshop does NOT appear to be fixed for me. While in space 1, open Photoshop (mine does not move to its assigned space until I open an actual file in Ps). Open a new file. Mine will then slide to its assigned space (5) with the gray toolbar and empty pallets staring at me in all their glory.

I don't know if this is more Apple's issue than Adobe's, though.
 
198 mb on my 24" white iMac. I'll wait til tomorrow for the masses to report the success of this update...don't want to be a guinea pig. I was already a guinea pig w/ 10.5.0!

OH NO! It's is becoming self aware!!
 
Well, this made my day. I was expecting it at WWDC, so this is good news.

While I am sure there will still be issues, I think 10.5.3 will finally make Leopard production ready. This is the version that should have been launched. 10.5.0 - 10.5.2 were totally unacceptable and unforgivably bad.

I hope Apple learned from this experience, and we don't get another Leopard.

I am just glad to have 10.5.3. (On the servers too.)

OK an update. I've booted into Single-User mode and run FSCK from the command line. It found some errors and successfully repaired them. However, my Mac still won't boot. It seems to be stuck continually writing crash logs to disk. I took a photo, hopefully its clear enough for you to see.

[EDIT] Managed to find out what the crash log says.

But... Mail still crashes if you drag a file to the dock icon (and have at least one signature and plain-text composing)
Click to expand...

I can reproduce this behaviour - it beachballs. Anyone else?

Other than that:

MBP - 198Mb download, quick install, no issues.
Mac mini - 420Mb download, quick install, no issues.
 
I am not going to bother. Had issues with 10.5.0 and 10.5.1, but 10.5.2 + Security Updates even completely hosed my Mac. Back on Tiger now, and I am not ever going to touch Leopard again as long as I am still using my old iBook G4. 😡
 
10.5.3 Server

good news is it works on Leopard Server and the testing I have done so far as proved they have actually fixed some of the major bugs associated with it

nice!
 
Does anyone know if MAIL still physically opens on start-up, despite having set as "hide" ?

I'm downloading a movie right now so i can't check for myself.

Sorry, I dont know how to help, but can I ask if your computer came with Leopard or if you upgraded to it from a previous version of OS X?
 
Software Update

I have a simple question. Why doesn't Software Update automatically check for updates (like Windows Automatic Update)? If a Mac owner never visits a forum he would never know about them. The update doesn't even appear (prominently) on their Front page or the download page.

What is all the hype? I have installed it and I don't see any major improvements?
Also, I have not had all the problems most people complained about and looks like are now fixed... I always thought it was the winers making all the noise 🙂

Glad it fixed anyone system... I would be PO if I had all these issues... call me lucky, but I had to go through a fresh install since updating from Tiger left me with an unstable system.

All the best!

it does, when in software update go to the preferences and you can set it to look for updates.

It does. You just have to be patient for maybe a day or two.

Shipped with Tiger. I clean-installed Leopard. 10.5, 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 all worked fine.

Hmmm... I think problems like yours may only be on computers that were updated to Leopard... I may be wrong, but that is a pattern I am seeing.

Good luck with fixing it, hope all goes well.

Yep just created a signature and tried this - beachball city. Force quit and reported to Apple - although that has never really resulted in much for me before 🙁.

Maybe in 10.5.4 indeed.

Derwood (or anyone else who has installed 10.5.3)--

How is Logic running on your updated machine? Which version of Logic are you using?
Click to expand...

Logic flies on 10.5.3 - fixes a lot of issues. *Very* recommended (you'll need Logic 8.0.2 as well...)

Well I've just done an Archive/Install of 10.5. Will update using the combo updater after it downloads.
