Apple Prepping OS X 10.5.7 Update

mutuz said:
Well, Transmission runs 24/7, but other than that and Mail, no other applications run at night. I may have overrushed, stating that this is a software flaw, cause it seems that it only affects the aluminum iMacs. The Apple forums and various blogs also report this issue. Here's an example. Do you own such a Mac?

Hello, I had a problem with my screen frequently waking. I found that it was caused by a combination of 2 things: 1) having Screen Sharing enabled and 2) having port 5900 forwarded on my router to my IP address, so that I could use screen sharing from outside of my firewall. Any random ping coming into port 5900 would wake my screen. I never found a good solution to the problem, I just turned off the port forwarding for that port on my router. Hope that helps!
 
This is a good few weeks if not months away still..
Does anybody remember how long developers had 10.5.6 before it was released to the public?
 
I hope that the update fixes:
1- the horribly slow wifi network detection and connection on my MBP
2- MobileMe problems... maybe it's me, but i just don't love it and hot it syncs with my iphone.

it would be great if apple worked out a better way to allow MobileMe Syncing with blackberry's ie mobile addressbook and calendar.

I wouldn't make that assumption - we still haven't even received a release date for Snow Leopard, so I could see a couple more updates to 10.5 after this one...

We received a release date for Leopard 9 days before it came out. We'll never really know it's ready until it's ready or Apple announces a hard deadline (which I doubt they'll do this time after the 10.5.0 Finder fiasco).

It only says it won't install. What about users who have already installed Safari 4 and are upgrading. Do we have to interpret this as 'won't work with 10.5.7'? I'm not necessarily sure.

Are you a developer? If not you have nothing to worry about. This 10.5.7 is still in pre-release status so by the time they release it to the public i'm sure it'll be fixed. It would be stupid not to.

No, I'm not a developer. I was just a little confused as to why it wouldn't install. Just thought it was a little unclear. It would be a bit silly if they didn't clear it up. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :)

Actually, it did work perfect in Tiger, but with the introduction of Leopard something broke. There's a few threads in this forum with other users complaining about this issue (here for instance). What's strange is that Mail plays the sound sometimes!

It's worked flawlessly in Leopard on both my Aluminum iMac and my MacBook since day 1 (literally, I installed it the moment we were allowed to open the boxes.)

I do, as you can see above. It sleeps through the night without any trouble, and I have left Transmission open at night as well without trouble. Just because you don't have any GUI applications open, though, doesn't mean you don't have anything running. In addition, did you check to see if your computer is set to Wake for Ethernet Administrator Access? I've known that to be related, because other devices may be polling for services.

Just curious, have you experienced network problems? I sure, haven't!;)

Nope, not related to the computer at least. Doesn't mean that problem isn't more widespread.

Okay, I must say that it's frustrating that users have such different experiences regarding this. I think I'll have to reinstall Leopard when 10.5.7 comes, to see if the problem persists.

Thanks for your suggestions!:) I have screen sharing enabled, so I'll try disabling it tonight! Not sure about the Wake for Ethernet Administrator Access setting, but I'll check it out.

I agree. But it doesn't mean it's less widrespread either!;)
 
MBP Graphics Issue

BWhaler said:
I really hope this fixes the graphic issues with the MBPro's. The random subtly screen flicker is a thrashing.

Hopefully it will fix it... I had the Apple store put 2 new logic boards in my MBP and it still flickers, even though they insist it's fine...

Is that limited to the new uni-body MBP? I've seen no flickering issues on my pre-unibody MBP I bought in October.

Preferences -> General -> "New Mail Sound"
Click to expand...

Yeah, duh, no ****. Now if it would only work all the time, and not just occasionally. And spell-check/auto-correct when composing an e-mail?

Not to mention a unified UI system wide and across all apps?

Tiger was at 10.4.10 when Leopard came out, and Apple released 10.4.11 not too long after. So small updates are not really an indicator for the next OS release.

Although that was the only time Apple has ever released a numbered update for the previous OS version after the next point update was out.

10.5.6 was first seeded to developers last October 23, and eventually released December 15.
 
I cant wait for it....

I hope there are some network improvements because I just spent 5 minutes getting my internet connection to work.

I have the same problem, and no I have no Screen Sharing, and no Wake on Ethernet enabled...

I usually use Ctrl+Shift+Eject to switch the screen off, but after a few minutes it will come back on...

My load times for these sites were brilliant.

Don't even begin to tell me how much your ISP is giving you mbps wise :p

-Sam:apple:
Click to expand...

I have to believe it is the way these sites are coded because the load times were site specific. I have AT&T U-verse for TV, broadband and VoIP. On the broadband side I've got the "Elite" package that has 6 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream.

Does upgrading to S4 effect things like Bookmarks?
For multiple accounts on the same Mac?
What about when downgrading back to S3?

Thanks.
Click to expand...

No, all my bookmarks were preserved for both myself and the other accounts on the same mac. When I uninstalled SF4 and went back to 3.2.1 all my bookmarks were still there. Having said that, I did not try and add a bookmark in SF4 and see if it was still there when I reverted to SF3.
 
last june "one year" was touted.
Some now say Q1-a little optimistic, as there is only one month left.
Q2 it will be-maybe April May.
And I do hope they quit ignoring the Repair permissions issue
In Tiger I could do it in <15 seconds. Now 5 mins
 
Hope it helps the fact that the iMac won't wake up sometimes after sleep. Plus, it's been acting with with printers lately. It happens mostly when the printer is hooked up. Seems like 10.5.6 sees my printers memory card slots as a memory card reader and freaks out for some reason
