10.5.3 Is Out!

Better safe then sorry here.

I'm going to have to nuke my drive (preferably from orbit) and start from scratch in 10.5.0 and work my way up. The 10.5.3 Combo updater caused a few too many weird issues on my MacBook.

This is after restoring my machine twice and removing third party services. With all the QA this update got I'm a little surprise to see so many problems.

Sorry to hear. At least Apple have a combo that can go from 10.5.0. I had to do an XP Pro from an old XP Pro install disk in VMWare yesterday and there were so many updates and reboots it took half the day. I have a 25 Mb/s connection too! I wish MS had a Combo! If there is such a thing tell me PLEASE!

So far my spaces are working fine. I had to remap my keyboard shortcuts to get there, but my applications go where they're supposed to.

If I understand your post, you're saying that if you have Mail in space 2, and Safari in space 1, if you click their docked icon it should switch properly to each? If so, that works fine for me.

Keystrokes to move from one space to another stopped working with the update on mine. So I went back into system prefs and setup the key strokes to what they were originally. 10.5.3 seemed to have wiped it out and allowed some customization of the keystrokes. I don't usually assign applications to windows, but it sounds like its still working properly. I attached an image of the preps pane to show what I did.

Also a major problem with iCal and syncing with my iPod Touch is now GONE. Used to not accept changes from my IPT, and Syncing would only work one way. Found lots of syncing errors in the console.log as well. But with the 10.5.3 update the issues seemed to have completely cleared up. Its nice to be able to do the Syncs again! But I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one.

bad

The update either made my ram go from 2gb to 1.5 or the ram just broke coincidently after the update. Either way I think apple owes me my ram. An overnight delivery sounds good.

Anyone else have this problem?
 
well, printing now crashes what ever program I try to print out of and says my driver is the problem..... how convienient considering I have important work to turn in........ tomorrow!

Build a slipstream disk. That's your best best for making a "combo." Basically, there is a way to create an installation that already has the updates as part of the installation process.

Or, just put Service Pack 3 on a disk, install XP, install SP3, and you're pretty close.
 
reinstall

Am I the only one with problems with Spaces? I had no issues in 10.5.2 but now I can't choose an app from the dock to go to a different Space. The apps menu bar may show up but not the open page for that app. At other times even going to a Space via the Spaces menu doesn't work properly. For me 10.5.2 Spaces worked. Now it's broken. Not a huge issue but very curious if I should work on this or it's common to others.

just reinstall the update spaces works for me 100%
 
Still dropping WiFi connections. I still get the 'connection timeout' error too. Still, it only took me 10 minutes to get back on rather than the 30 or 40 it used to take...
 
Installation problem

I will wait for a couple of days and see what problems (if any) you gals/guys find...

Tried updating my brand new Imac to 10.5.3 through Software update and also downloading the update directly. I keep getting this message.

Install failed.
The installer could not install some files in “/”.
Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

I've reported this to every agency I could think of. No solution yet!
 
minimize on double click

after updating 10.5.3 the doubleclick on the titlebar for minimizing windows isn't working anymore.
anyone experiencing the same problem?
and some weird keyboard hickups. after pressing the back-key once, everything in the line gets deleted.

I can actually say that this is not a problem for me. What is the problem is the minimizing when double clicking. I hate it. I do it all the time on accident. Tell me what you did so I can have your "problem".
 
More Spaces clarification

I just reinstalled 10.5.3 and clicking on Lightroom in the dock will still not change to the Space properly and bring up the Lightroom window and change to the Lightroom space. It does, however, bring up the Lightroom menubar with no change to the actual Space (the Space number showing in the menu does not change) in spite of the fact the Lightroom menu bar at the top does show up. If I have Photoshop in the same space AND if Photoshop has an image window open and I click on the Photoshop icon in the dock then the Space is changed properly and both the Photoshop and the LR windows show correctly and the space is changed correctly. If Photoshop has no image window open then the behavior is just like clicking on LR; no change of space but a change to the PS menu bar only. This is regardless of whether I have checked the "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" in the Spaces preferences. If others are having no problem it is probably some conflict.

You can disable that you know, in System Preferences under Appearance.

:D
just run the update for 10.5.3.
i can't think of anything i've changed since. and if you're using a MBP you might be lucky enough to have the same "problem" now. ;)
at first i hated the doubleclick-thingy too, but now i can't go without, it seems..

Wow! :eek: is this a thead about the 10.5.3 update or a thread about hyperboy throwing a trantrim :p. man you have a lot of posts and people are getting sick of your *bitching* :mad:- awe see now, now you have a minister cursing.

Dude, if you hate it that much, go back to Windows - no one is stopping you. and as far as a GUI whim you talk about??? have you looked at MS lately? Every release for the past 2 years they changed something in the GUI. i had to upgrade from office 2003 to 2007 at work and I am lost as it functions totally different, and my needs to work (scanning directly into a document, and a few others) was removed. this morning I could not even copy and paste from word into outlook - had to reboot just to get that to work.

One thing to remember - Computers change as needs change and as the industry dictates. I do not mind if I have to right click, left click, etc. to me apple is a lot simpler to use, and more suffistocated when it comes to running a clean, easy to use system . I have yet to experiance a missing or corrupted dll like in windows. Native Apple apps are eloquent. I can see annoyances of relearning something, but I know alot of people were ticked when they upgraded their apps from VB6 to VB.NET, as the litttle upgrade utility broke more and it converted.

Get used to it, it is just the way of computers. If it were to stay the same, why upgrade??? You would then also not get the nice features that come with an upgrade. If the app totally does not work, then I can see gripes - if it is just a change in the way you do something or the screen looks a little different, well that is par for the course with any update/upgrade.

yes, updates changes things - get used to it or do not apply updates.

Atleast is a lot better than many open-source products where just about anyone can contribute. talk about some of your GUi and functionality changes from one version to the next. :eek: Atleast with Apple, what goes into a product is controled and well tested. Most of the time if an update breaks something, it is because of a hack or something someone tweaked on their own.;)

Windows on the other hand - Updates just breaks stuff at every turn around.....
 
Google Calendar

disregard the google calendar issue if you saw that. it was just a java script issue in Firefox, that I reset recently.
 
Mac OS X Server 10.5.3

Is anyone else having trouble installing the Server version of 10.5.3? What's going on is that each install method (command line softwareupdate, Server Admin, Software update from System Preferences, and Downloading the stand alone installer) results in the package being corrupt. It's not passing the check-sum.

How annoying. Is this a problem at Apple or is this my own issue?
 
New iMacs with nVidia card?

Can anybody with a iMac and 8800 do a Cinebench test run and some Core Image benchamrking?
I'm on the road till tuesday so can't test it.
Damn Apple why did you have to realease it when I'm away!!:(

Still hoping to hear from someone who can confirm a substanial improvement in the overall performance (not gaming) of this card vs. the standard ATI card.

Are there new graphics drivers in the 10.5.3 update? Has anyone been able to confirm?

My animations are smoother and colors are drastically more vibrant on my SR MBP.... Its unmistakeable that something has changed, but was it the drivers?
Click to expand...
Can't say for sure but here's a hint... my Mac Mini which has no dedicated video card only needed to download 198 MB for the 10.5.3 update, and only rebooted once. My iMac 24" which has a dedicated video card (ATI, I believe...?) needed 420 MB and rebooted twice. Somewhere among those extra 222 MB there must have been drivers, and video card drivers usually dwarf other hardware drivers when it comes to size...

Hi Tom
How did you manage to show the details (size) underneath each desktop picture? Great feature!
Sorry, no Idea, why you have not a chance to update now!
Click to expand...

Right-click on desktop, select View Options*, enable "Show Item Info"*. Done.

(* = I'm on a Swedish MacOS so I'm only guessing what these things might be labelled as in English, but you get the idea)
