Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.5.5

nVidia Drivers

Good news, it looks like the nVidia GeForce drivers have been updated from 1.5.28 to 1.5.30.

Edit: looks like 256 color support may be back, anyone have a copy of Starcraft to try out?

10.5.5 needed for tomorrow's new MacBooks perhaps?

I so wish it was true - we can only hope.

Are there any new little features or anything in 10.5.5?

I wonder if there is Mac --> MobileMe Push finally...I'd say it's about time but I won't hold my breath.

 

[Eidorian]

Can someone check to see if there are updated GMA X3100 drivers or signs of the GMA X4500HD?

According to the release note the MobileMe sync has been improved. No mention of push here...

That sounds great!

I don't have an iPhone, I don't use Time Machine, I rarely use Spotlight... Why should I bother?

Yes, it contains fixes for other programs as well as some security updates. And it's fun to update.

 

[Eric S.]

Any changes to MobileMe sync/push functionality?

 

[stevehp]

According to the release note the MobileMe sync has been improved. No mention of push here...

Yep, that's why I'm holding out...Maybe that was implemented but not put on the Release Notes.

same here - I have a 2mb connection. Usually Apple's servers really fly but I guess its just demand and I cant utilise any extra bandwith

d

Took me less than one minute for the 321 MB file! Download only though, I'll wait until tomorrow to do the update just to be safe.

I have and use all three regularly, so I'll bother.

I think I will see if there are any issues and download tomorrow.

My Safari just snapped. DO NOT GET 10.5.5

Haha! Ahh...

On a slightly drier note, i can has 10.5.5 combo pls?

 

[iWaldo]

Man, I'm still running 10.5.0 Waiting to pick up another ethernet cable before I upgrade; on my wifi connection it might or might not finish downloading before the sun burns out

 

[max1018]

Huh? Apple does make something other than phones - this is a Mac update.

I do believe he was joking...

On another note, the update weighs in at 136 MB on my Mac Pro.

 

[daneoni]

321MB for me and i have to wait 26 minutes on a 4MB/s DSL connection

Yep, that's why I'm holding out...Maybe that was implemented but not put on the Release Notes.

well i remember apple saying they were not going to use the word 'push' anymore because of it's connotations with the business community. So the 'push' as we would like it to be might actually be in place

 

[Kabeyun]

Better iCal and iPhone sync, does this mean we get category colors?

We already have category colors. This came with iPhone FW 2.0.

No Blu Ray support in 10.5.5.
I'm hoping soon to see a MR headline like, "Apple quietly adds Blu Ray support" followed by a story on how a clever coder discovered it, with the explanation that Apple didn't want to reveal it until it had devices with Blu Ray drives ready to ship. Or some such. Ah well...

Egads - upgrade! There have been a ton of bugfixes.

Good point...Well, I'm downloading now so we'll see soon!

That sounds great!

Sounds great indeed..! And for me it's a whopping 312Mb download...finishing it now!

 

[840quadra]

So far so good. but not installed on my primary system yet .

 

[MacsRgr8]

Done the 136 MB update for my Mac Pro '08 8-Core with nVidia 8800 GT.
After the usual reboot, it rebooted twice before running normally.

BTW.. Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 is out too.

Where do you check? I'd be happy to.

You know you can download the package elsewhere and put it on a flash drive...

Where do you check? I'd be happy to.
