For some of us, when ever new mail arrived there was no sound, but now there is. So that's great.
Lots Quicker
Things feel a lot quicker now switching between spaces with more programs than i normally run and it isn't slowing down or showing the spinning rainbow
and when i emptied he trash securely was still able to do everything without freezing up

It's an improvement. You just don't know it yet. But Steve does and he knows what's best for us.
Nobody else has mentioned the new button in the Bluetooth system preferences labelled "File Sharing Setup...", which links you to the Sharing system preferences pane.
I presume this is in direct response to the daily posts on Apple's Bluetooth Discussion forum about why Bluetooth file transfers to the Mac don't work in 10.5.x - Bluetooth Sharing has to be explicitly turned on unlike in 10.4.x

I'm guessing this is an issue that has to be fixed through GrowlMail and not by Apple, but hopefully my new mail notifications will stop being delayed so long. One time, I got a new e-mail and deleted it, with no notification. The NEXT TIME I started up Mail, the message was read and in the trash, the "New Mail" notification for it finally popped up. It was bizarre.
Airport Connectivity???
Has anyone noticed an improvement in Airport Connectivity??? I just got a new 24" iMac 2 weeks ago and the airport has been uncooperative at best. I just hope when I get home and download the update tonight it is all better. Thanks everyone!

COMBO UPDATE is always the safest way to go as the Combo update updates everything and sometimes fixes things you may have broken or files you might have corrupted since the previous update or even going back through previous updates. The regular update only updates what's different from the previous version to the newest and will not rewrite every file back to Mac OS X 10.0.
However, YES, it WILL take significantly MORE time to download and install.
But, I ALWAYS keep a copy of the LATEST COMBO update for every Mac I own as a fail safe.
It's just the smart thing to do if you have a mission critical machine or don't want to take any chances.
Finally...automatic MobileMe syncing from the Mac! Just created an iCal event and it triggered a sync immediately after.
Its gone for me too
Otherwise the install was smooth, although it took some time
Being able to change those settings was part of the reason why I bought a Mac. I guess it's not a big deal, it was just nice while it lasted. You can change it if you go into the preferences.
Issue with iPhone headset on Unibody Macs with new update
Does anyone have an issue with using the remote on the iPhone headset when using a unibody macbook?
Before the update, I could click once to pause/play, twice to go to the next song and 3 times to go back.
After updating to 10.5.6 this doesn't seem to work for me anymore. The inline mic also appears not to be detected as well.

Yeah the update hung at "configuring installation" with the progress bar at maybe 1-2%. Let it go for an hour and then gave up. Forced a hard shutdown, and things seem to be ok, but still at 10.5.5.
I have a 2007 MacBook Pro.
haha, mine just sprung to life! not sure what to tell you.... I updated about 5 hours ago and it just now came on.
I just logged into HSBC online banking 10 minutes ago with Safari just fine.
Thanks for the photo!
I'm glad you attached a screenshot because frankly, I didn't believe you!

Downloading now.
377MB on my Unibody MacBook Pro.
~ heavy sigh ~ Contacts in address book still won't sync with mobile me. Still getting dreaded "inconsistent data" error message.

0. Close System Preferences
1. Download the EnergySaver.zip file attached.
2. Go to /System/Library/PreferencePanes/EnergySaver.prefPane/
3. Open Contents/Resources (either show package contents or cd)
4. Backup the existing EnergySaver.icns (both included in zip file)
5. Copy over the EnergySaver.icns file you want (change the name of EnergySaver\ 2.icns)
Could it be something common to all of these machines that is making it not work? I probably would have stopped after 1 or maybe 2 machines ....
Isn't that the fun part?
