On the 9600 it is choppy still :( 720p playback is perfectly smooth though.

On the 9400M plays back 1080p perfectly fine.

So i'm not the only one who has this problem.

I have a 8 core mac pro with raid card and all to be able to do HD video without any problem and with this NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card i can't play back anything close to hd without hickups in the picture, even wordse even the iTunes visualiser does not run without hickups.

I understand i have a diffrent card but still it was the top off the line 512mb card and you would expect it to do well on playing back video of what ever size , right?

If anybody has any tip or suggestion for me to fix this id be a happy man.

May get the cheaper 128mb card instead ?

All morning I have tried on three different computers. All pretty new. Every time I restart after the download, the blue bar is stopped/stalled at less than 1/4" over the galaxy background. No movement beyond that

I've had to manually shut down and restart and 10.5.5 remains. No update. It won't install after that.

I've left one on for 60 minutes now with no movement whatsoever????!!

On page one of this thread you will find a link to the combo download from the Apple site.. I had the same thing happen to me as you experienced so I got the combo download... it is way larger... it worked perfectly ... good luck.

Wow same thing just happened to my white iMac... same condition same solution...

Swiss German.

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.

Or it could be a coding problem, like before was an INT which would completely ignore a decimal and they only had to change it to a DOUBLE.
 
Few days old unibody MB, 337 (or 377?), it's downloading over in the corner now. Like a naughty boy.
 
1.25 G4 eMac & 2.4 Penryn MBP = 190 mb
1.5 core solo mini = 377 mb
huh.

Haven't seen much difference as of yet, but screen sharing seems a little faster to me, at least from my MBP to G4.

I'm going to boot up in Windows XP and see if it plays good there.

If so, then it is just a very badly optimised OS X driver.
 
yeah the reboot took a while, for a minute I was glad I had just cloned to the external hdd.

The 10.5.6 update has made the trackpad on my white 2.1-C2D macbook WAY WAY more accurate. It used to be jittery and awful. I was going to take it in for service.
 
For those of you "hanging" at the configuration, on page 6 a suggestion was made and it worked.

To reiterate, go to "Library\Updates" and then delete the 10.5.6 update. Re download and make sure the download goes to the file size mentioned. Restart and it should work. I had the same issue.
 
No Problems on iMac 20"

Downloaded, rebooted twice, and came back up with no problems. I'm pleased, because with 10.5.4 my iMac froze on the blue screen--so I've been nervous about the last two updates.
 
So, has anyone noticed any improvement in the "dotmacsyncclient behind a proxy server" issue? I won't be able to test it for a few days.

Also, does the phantom monitor still rear its ugly head on early MacBook Pros?
 
ATSServer seems to be fixed

ATSServer used to gi crazy and lock up your Mac when generating thumbnails (Spotlight indexer, Quicklook, Preview, Finder) for certain PDFs. This seems to be fixed.

I can finally handle PDFs again. Yay :D
 
My Airport connects immediately after waking from sleep now (Thank God!)
I also notice that Safari seems to hover arround 125MB as opposed to 300MB now. Same sights and stuff (MR, Youtube, etc). It also seems that the "inactive" memory is significantly smaller, as if the OS is reclaiming it much better now. w00t. So far, the update has been great for me - including my 4-Finger hack that is now possible with the Trackpad preference pane..
 
Downloaded 337 MB update for my early 2008 MBP in 2 minutes. If only all downloads were this fast! Restarted twice after installing with no problems, but no noticeable differences either.

Finder jumped from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 like other readers mentioned.

Microsoft Word problem with Spaces still there.

No noticeable speed differences in iTunes cover flow.

Oh and as MekGek mentioned, pinching icons on desktop doesn't work anymore just like the new unibody computers. It was kinda annoying since I usually have all my icons arranged how I want them only to have them scrambled up because I accidentally pinch while in Finder.

[edit] Zoom in Finder is still there. Just go under preferences while in Finder. I was so scared they took out zoom for cover flow in Finder!

Interesting. Thanks for the input. Good (bad?) to know that it may be wider than we think. I have emailed many of my Mac buddies that 10.5.6 is probably safer via the combo updater.

The iMac updates fine via software update. However I'm not having luck on the mbp. Tried updating a couple times via SU, and the same old partial update problem happened. I think it's a miss or hit thingy.

I'm downloading the combo update as I type.

Got the partial update of the iMac, decided to just download the security and OS update as individual files.

didn't relish the thought of the combo on a problematic airport connection, hopefully the update helps out.
