Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.5.5

boxlight said:
My iMac with Leopard 10.5.4 has actually been acting really weird lately. It seems to be getting slower and slower and there's been lots of keyboard and mouse delay. Even my non-technical wife has commented that "the computer is slower".

I'm been thinking about backing up all my data and doing a total fresh reinstallation.

Here's hoping 10.5.5 makes things go back to normal.

I think ive had a little bit of the same on my MB hopefully it was just 10.5.4

hopefully it will also fix the random shut downs my bro has been experiencing with his current gen imac

reports of stability of the release. some Mac OS point releases have significant problems, at least for some users. i usually wait a day or so after the release, and check reports here, to see if there are any major instability problems.

unless you're waiting for a specific fix to a problem that's a big issue for you, what's the rush?
 
 
MobileMe Sync Broken on 10.5.5

My MobileMe Sync is not working...The Menu Bar icon is totally frozen...I had this once before on 10.5.4 but it was self-induced...

Anyone else have this issue?
 
iCal fix FINALLY

Looks like they finally fixed the bug in iCal where it would cut lines of text off in the month view display!

YAY!

UPDATE: My mistake - they didn't 😱

608 MB combo update. 😡

Yeah I have no idea if these links will work or not, I'm at school so I'm just trying to download the update ahead of time 😀

Not sure what the distinction between "Patch" and "Update" is, but this might explain why some people have updates bigger than others (even when starting from 10.5.4)

I hope it fixes some airport issues. My MacBook always has the hardest time connecting to the wifi at my college. *stupid timeout error*

I'm cautiously optimistic on that one. My iMac's had a very hard time staying connected to the router since 10.5.4.

What is the combo update? Why does everyone say they're waiting for that...?

The combo update contains everything required by any Mac platform. Some people believe that using this is safer than what you get from Software Update, which gives you only the bits it decides that your specific machine requires.
 
Helpful Information I hope

First the part that I think is not helpful but so many seem to like to post:
136 MB - Mac Pro
2 Automatic Reboots

Now helpful perhaps:
1 Calendar Sync conflict - but looked identical
No Nikon D700 Support!
iChat still won’t connect to Bonjour upon autostart
VMWare Fusion had control of my CD tray - I had to disconnect through it to eject the tray

I’ll tentatively say that graphics card improvements - although most of the visual degradation took a while to evidence themselves. I’m now running Motion, Aperture, and coverflow in iTunes and holding strong.

When adding a new iCal event it lets me type until I am done instead of truncating it (which it used to do because of a sync start - I think). Anyway better now.

Still problems with Spaces keeping the windows of the applications in the same space

Still - Spotlight in a finder window defaults back to whole computer instead of the directory I have navigated to.

Still - In column view and then spotlight in the window then hit back button it switches to list view instead of column view like I had it.

Still - Mail attachments when I save don’t show up in the save like the used to in Tiger. Attachments get dropped even though the check mark is on to keep them.

Still - Fast user switching then switching back kills by desktop picture rotations - just white until I quit the dock in Activity Monitor

Feature Request - Editing event in iCal without having to double click on it then click edit then click what to edit. Bring back the side panel!!!

All in all everything seems to be stable and at least not worse and better in some.

And yes I do submit these things to Apple each time we get an update to the OS.

Hope this helps some.
 
iTunes Store and Managed Accounts

Can someone please check and see if 10.5.5 fixes the issue with managed accounts not being able to access the iTunes store though the front page?
 
Did anyone else get Setup Assistant when they booted back up? I thought that was strange...

Combo is the update that brings you from Mac OS X 10.5.0 through 10.5.4 up-to-date to Mac OS X 10.5.5, and is therefore a huge update, not just the "small, incremental" 10.5.4 - 10.5.5 update.

But, the Combo replaces a lot of (system)files and gives you a "cleaner" update.
If you are experiencing issues running Mac OS X 10.5.5, you can download the Combo-10.5.5 updater, and install that over your existing 10.5.5.
