Anyone notice weird restart behavior? My MacBook's sleep indicator was lit, suggesting the display was sleeping while the machine was on. I had to press the power button, and it hummed for a minute, then reboot automatically. SEemed to take longer than average.
I've got the same problem. Changes to bookmarks and contacts initiate a sync immediately after the change is completed, but not so for calendar changes. Made a change in iCal 10 minutes ago, and still waiting for it to sync.
Doesn't seem to be a universal problem - in post #161 in this thread, the user reports that iCal changes show up almost immediately.
Anyone else having this same problem? Please post, and send feedback to Apple!
Just updated and magically my external HD plugged into airport has automatically started to back up Time Machine. Previously, I had to physically mount the drive via connect to server and select the drive. Awesome!
I love your posts, really do, but on what planet does any update go without issues... XP ok because that was my experience and Vista too, but server packs... no ... Service packs is why God invented valium.
Well, I'm not Window's biggest fan, but I've never had any problems with any Windows update. Yes, lots of people have, but not me. I've been using Windows since Window 3.1 was bright and shiny.
But then, I've never had any issues with any OS X update either, either with Software Update or the combo updater (which I've used ever since I got our second Mac to save on downloads). Yes, lots of people have, but not me.
I'm personally not going to extrapolate from my own experience.
Quick update on my hangup above: after about an hour and a half with no progress, I also force restarted, even though my stall seemed to be unique because it happened after the update had run almost completely, rather than during "configuring installation."
After some heartbeats skipped, everything started up normally and 10.5.6 seemed to have been installed already. I downloaded teh Combo Update and rerun it anyway, to be safe. So far, so good.
the -54 error means you don't have permission to write the file.
the other symptoms sound like your disk is full.
how much free space was left on your disk?
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?
Who cares, its 1 icon people! In the troubles of today's economy, one should not be concerned with a pritty light bulb picture!
I just figure out when the exposé animation gets choppy.. when I'm downloading something in iTunes the animation gets choppy.. anyone knows why this happens?..
I just updated from 10.5.4 to 10.5.6 without any problem. Downloading took like 2 hours though, but installation went smoothly without a hitch.
I had to call apple tech support because of the update.
So I was all excited about the update and proceeded to download it. After my macbook went to restart, it just stopped at "installing 1 item". I left the computer alone for like two hours while I attended meetings at work figuring it just needed some time. But the update had locked up my computer and I had to call apple care to resolve the issue. What they told me was that other customers had the same issue and that I needed to shutdown my computer using the power button and download it from apple's website and install it that way. Now my computer seems to be working fine. I hope everyone else is doing alright.

just updated my early 2008 macbook through software update and everything went smoothly. i can't say that the update fixed a certain issue i may have had since i didn't have any, so yes happy mac user here!
My MacBook Pro restarted twice when rebooting but everything seems fine. I like the TrackPad section they added in system preferences. I was hoping for multi-touch but knew it wasn't going to happen haha.
Also I am surprised that no articles are mentioning that this fixed the 10 or 20 minute delay when syncing to MobileMe from your Mac and says it will sync within a minute now no matter where you are making changes on your computer, online, or any device. That was pretty publicized as a con to MobileMe and Apple even stepped back on their "Push for the rest of us" slogan because of that and now they fix it and nobody even mentions it???

I am quite satisfied with this update!
Overall graphics performance is improved with my early 2008 Macbook 2.4 ghz with the Intel GMA X3100 graphics chipset. The internet, regardless of browser used, seems faster.

Of course, you are right, but that is what I get for my money and that is REALLY WRONG!
And, Snow Leopard is just a hope for me until it will be released; then, I will have to give money to get it
and hope that they remove all bugs I will discover...
