10.5.3 screwed things up!

[Theturk]

WOW lol !!

I have no idea what everyone is going on about. I truly think that most, and I stress most people with problems caused them themselves by previous faults in the OS from upgrades or applications or whatever.

Here's what I'm seeing personally.

I have a MacBook Pro, the new Macbook Touchpad. 2.4Ghz, 4Gb ram. I updated from 10.5.2 without a single problem. When it first booted after the upgrade, it reached the apple logo, then restarted one more time (which is normal based on Apple Support's word). Took about 1min or bit less at the apple screen with the spinning loader then it booted in normally.

For the first 30seconds or minute the kernel probably was being updated and the macbook was busy working. Afterwards, the CPU calmed down and I started using it .

The smudgy and blurry text problem is completely gone. Which is a HUGE relief for me. It was annoying the crap out of me. Shutting down, starting up and sleeping is a bit faster. Most noticeable speed change is the shutting down process. It's faster by around 3-4 seconds.

My AirPort is working great and after being connected for about 7 hours after the update the internet is still working perfectly and hasn't cut once. The only orphan game I have on my MacBook is working great and am having no problems with it what so ever.

Basically, I haven't noticed 1 problem. I always used to check disk for errors, and am very careful on what I install on my mac. So I know my MBP was in perfect condition, and as a result I didn't have 1 single problem.

Worked(ing) great for me. Cheers Apple!


PS : Audio distortion and popping sounds seems to be solved!

Mine acted funny also, and the MacBook seems to be fine, but Software Update on the iMac doesn't work and the SU button is grayed out on the ATM window.

#FIXED#
Went to System Preferences and started SU from there. Now it works in the Apple menu also.

one kernel panic after the other

Yesterday I updated 2 things - I installed the upgrade to VMWare Fusion and I did the 10.5.3 upgrade. I keep getting kernel panics ala Grey Screen of Death w/ the instructions in 4 languages to power down.

It may be coincidental, but after installing 10.5.3, the 23" Cinema Display attached to my 24" iMac started flickering, then died. It's currently in the store for repairs... the geniuses were stumped by how it was/wasn't working.

When I read the crash log, it seems to crash on something different every time. I sadly must use Windows all day long here at work. I had to fight and beg to get a Mac - and this is now seriously hurting my productivity.

I got this in the last error log and I'm stumped as to what if anything it means that could be useful:

Any ideas?

Is there a way for me to get back to 10.5.2 w/o losing my data?
