took forever to d/l this patch...updated the gf's alum 2.4 macbook, still does not resolve issues with grabbing a dhcp ip addr from startup or out of standby. 
browsing seems slower, getting more placeholder icons then i normally would off FF 3.5b4...
not even going to bother with my white book, i don't have any problems with 10.5.6 or use safari.

These updates aren't even being shown in my Software Update. It just says that everything is up to date every time I check. Anyone else having this problem?
I give up. I have got that message at least 10+ times. I have rebooted multiple times. No luck. Wonder what is going on? It has to be more than overloading the Apple server. Software Update wants to download 449 mb to my iMac. If I go direct to the Apple website the update is 442 mb. makes me wonder what I am missing if I go direct to DL it from Apple. I think I will pass and let some time go by like maybe a year. Apple Hello anybody home?
In any case I don't need 10.5.7 that bad for all the hassle.

Everything running fine over here.
Was kinda disappointed though that I had to reboot for the safari update. What is this, windows?

iTunes version
Does 10.5.7 upgrade iTunes to the latest version?
I use a 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle, so I'm to iTunes v8.0.2. The latest versions of iTunes have lousy behaviour with these Shuffles (discussed elsewhere in this forum and on Apple Discussions).
Any other 2nd-gen Shuffle users upgraded to 10.5.7 and see that the 'correct' behaviour has been restored?

Not much change or difference to me. Maybe I'll see it later on when I use the applications.
The download was a bit long. It first failed but I tried re-downloading it again and it was quick.
I was hoping there was some updates on bugs in MS Office stuff like how docs randomly moves to another space.

I'm guessing the restart is required because Safari also installs the WebKit framework, which is a system framework and is used by all applications that link to it, so Apple probably wanted to avoid bugs where certain apps would have different versions of the framework loaded. Restarting would make sure every app loads the new version.
Everything went fine here, 4 minutes to download, 10 to install reboot - back to desktop.
Buskape, do you have the power management options in the menu bar?
My install went without a hitch, but I've hit hiccups during updates before. These are the situations where a verbose mode during the update process could help.
For those of you having trouble through Software Update, the general solution is almost always to download the Combo Update directly from Apple, then apply it without using Software Update. I had the same security/save issues in various other incremental updates as well and this is the first thing to do if Software Update is not working for you.
In fact, some would say that it's technically cleaner.

Well, I have run the update and now my two external drives no longer work via USB on my MacBook...tried reinstalling via the combo update and still no joy.
Both drives are self powered and dont register in either direct connection or via a hub, they appear in System Profiler but not in disk utility.
They are Buffalo DriveStations and are working perfectly on my 10.5.6 iBook, just not under 10.5.7 on my MacBook...
Anyone else had a similar problem yet?

The options to switch cards was taken out in 10.5.6 and reportedly put back in 10.5.7, but I am lacking these. Are you lacking them as well?
All right, I give up on using Software Update for this. Having the same delays/errors as others. I'll try using the direct download link instead.
I'm a little confused. What power management in the menu bar? I assume you're referring to the battery/power management icon in the tools section of the menu bar?
Someone else mentioned the same problem with an external drive in the "lost" thread, but I don't know if the external in that case was USB or not.
I agree...I think everything is running faster and smoother. I don't think I have seen the beach ball yet either. I am very happy so far.
your best bet. either apple's server's hit hard or they're bunch of amateurs with software udpates.
Supposedly, the ability to switch graphics mode are supposed to appear in that menu following the 10.5.7 update.
my download went completely fine but now my startup time has went from 35seconds to 2mins 20secs and i've restarted 4 times to try it
what causes this and will it speed up again?

Install worked
My 13" MacBook 5,1 Core 2 Duo needed to restart, and restart again after the install (slow and a bit scary). On the third try it worked without problems.
