10.5.6 is Out

I downloaded the update to my 17in powerbook but the "about me" still says 10.5.5 What gives? Is apple dissin' powerbooks now?
 
UPDATE:

I did a restart using the power key after almost 2 hours of waiting at the "Configuring Installation" screen and it restarted into OSX fine. It was a partial download on my early '08 MBP. I'm downloading the combo update now and will fix permissions afterward. I'll keep ya posted.

Thanks for everyone input.

I wonder if this update will unify the (macbook in my case) driver base. I want to swap my 2006 macbook hd into my new unibody macbook without driver issues.

Success ! I installed the combo update, rebooted then shut down. Took out the hd and put it into the new macbook. Booted, for the first time in my life saw a mac's black boot screen (scary, reminded me of windows !) and success !
All I've had to do so for was re-calibrate the screen colorwise.

Although it may now be academic as Ive just noticed the top row of keys (brightness/volume etc) on this new macbook are slanted. Looks like its going back, sigh - I just became a statistic.

This is the first update that didn't work for me. It hang during "Configuring your installation" after hitting restart when downloading is complete.

I was able to get around this problem by downloading the update directly from Apple's website instead of using 'Software Update'.
 
377MB on my Mac Pro (Early 2008). :eek:

I haven't read any issues in the first two pages, so I will update!
 
Just updated on my 2007 MBP. no issues, took a total of 20 minutes from start to finish. Safari does seem a bit snappier. :)

I wonder what delayed it over the weekend, or are they just teasing the rumourmill? I have to admit if I had control over these things I would release things on different days to the rumours.

Its probably a good thing that I don't run a large company!

Apple doesn't release OS updates on weekends (except for the very first update, 10.0.1), and Friday releases are rare.

Hope it work s out for you! It seems all ok, here for me. And that's exactly what I did.
 
Time Machine via Airport Disk still working?

Is this still working? I only started using TM a couple weeks ago and I don't want it to stop working now! (Yes, I read the whole thread, and no one has mentioned this yet.)

Thanks.
 
I checked software update and mine was a 190mb version. After reading this entire thread and seen the problems I am going to go with the Combo Update. However, this is the first time I have done it this way. Are there any special, extra things that I may need to do before/after I update (repair permissions? any other operations?…)?


Thanks in advance
 
Any driver updates for the GMA X3100

how about improvements to "Power Management?" Or do we need to wait for Snow Leopard for that?
 
I can't remember who was asking but httpmail is working fine (on my early '08 MBP)

EDIT: OOOPS, spoke too soon, doesn't seem to be fetching new mail. Gulp....

Is your Mac set to German? :D

Swiss German.

This may be somehow caused by the fact that in the german language not points but commas are used to mark post-decimal positions.

Yes and no. In Germany, the comma is the official decimal point. Nontheless, in coding, of course, the period is used the same way as everywhere in the world. But even if you switched to the americal keyboard layout, the country-dependant preferences did not switch. But in Switzerland, the country-preferences actually define the period . as the decimal point but it has been converted to a comma , by the Calculator which resulted in truncation or error. So there surely was some (small) bug in the software, not just a preference problem.
 
Just made an update in iCal and it took 19 minutes to sync with MobileMe. Pity, that was the only thing I was really needing to happen, everything else had been fine.

BUT now, my PB don't want to wake up after sleep :mad: ... ... ...
(thats no good)

Install SmartSleep, choose "sleep only", then hit [remove sleepimage]. Afterwards set it to "sleep and hibernate" (OS X default) or "smart sleep" (hibernate only when battery < 20%).

Power management settings will be rewritten and the sleepimage will be rebuilt. Often helps.

[Edit] Added link.
 
I am still having the same airport problem where it takes forever to connect after a reboot or waking up from sleep. I did not have this problem with Tiger or the earlier versions or Leopard. Is anyone still seeing this problem?

I hope it is fixed when Snow Leopard comes out.
 
I can no longer log in to my bank on Safari

I could this morning before the update and I still can on Win XP via VMWare Fusion 2.0.

Guessing there may be a https issue but no expert. Anyone else having similar issues?

I think that was fixed for me with 10.5.5
