Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.5.8

USB hard drives

One of the notes on this updates refers to improved compatibility with USB hard drives. I have an old PATA hard drive in a Metal Gear Box enclosure that would not mount properly for backups when connected to a USB 2.0 hub. Before 10.5.8, I had to attach it directly to the USB port on my Mac to run disk utility on it, make backups, etc. After this OS update, the hard drive now mounts and works properly when connected to my USB hub.
 
Hey...

I'm not sure if this an error. However, when I finished installing MAC OS X 10.5.8, upon reboot my machine rebooted twice. Again, not sure if this is normal or an error. Just thought I should through that out there.

Best regards

Always does that after an update.

No error, nothing to worry about.

EDIT: Anyone notice there's an addition to Hardware Overview in Sys Profile Hardware UUID

Yes. Me too. I was just looking at that before the upgrade and it was not there. Now it is. I wonder what good it will do there?

Anybody else see a new Motion Sensor in System Profiler under Hardware Overview. Can't remember if it was there or not!
 
biggest safari thing i noticed was when it fades in from top sites, it doesnt fade in fast then reload the page. it actually reloads the page before its done fadeing it. It looks better, but its a little weird staring at the dimmed page for a few seconds.
 
I had a weird issue where after installing and choosing to let it reboot my system, it booted into my Windows Bootcamp partition, instead of back into OS X.

I restarted again out of Windows, help Option to select OS X, and then again it went into windows.

Upon my third try though, it successfully went back into OS X.

Anybody else have this happen to them? Or was my Mac Pro just being weird?
 
I was hoping this would have fixed the 256 colors issue with 3100 graphics chip. :mad:

I WANT MAH DIABLO II.

thats exactly what I was thinking! :p

When it says Bluetooth problems fixed I hope it includes the one where it connects and disconnects and connects and disconnects and so on.
 
Does the update fix the iTunes crashing when coming out of hibernation with an ATI card on a Mac Pro?

I didn't know it does this, went into a cold sweat after thinking it was going into a constant reboot cycle.:D
 
Download and install were fine for me. The download was really fast, but the last 20mbs took a good 5mins for some reason. The first 3/4 of the download were done in about a 45secs-1min.
Once it was downloaded and asked me to restart it all went fine. My iMac restarted a total of 4 times on its own...On the 3rd one I started to get nervous!:rolleyes:
 
After updating to 10.5.8 it had renamed my iMac and for some reason had the original name under shared devices. :confused:

I rebooted a few times but it was still the same so I had to change the name back to the original name and repair permissions to fix it.

No major problems with the update, but it did make me re-enter my airport network passwords (even though they were still in the keychain), and it messed up the clock (even though the system entry for checking against a network time server were still all there). We'll see if there are some more odd behaviors as we go forward...

I wouldn't be so sure. The first attempted install gave me the beachball of doom. A Force Quit stopped SU but I couldn't access any other application or shut the Macbook down. Fortunately I have a late 2008 unibody with a removable battery.

Second attempt looks good so far.

Mine had no problems with the first install as I had mentioned. And I have my macbook set up to go into verbose boot mode every time, so I know that it was not the update process, it was the "normal" boot up after everything had installed. We are having different issues, you and I :p

Like I said though, I think that this is just my machine. Yours did not kernel panic, if I am reading right. Just locked up mid-install...
 
No Startup Screen?

On my 5,1 uMBP 2.66 I don't even see the startup progress bar... Just goes from gray to gray with apple and spinning gear to user login screen.....:confused:

Not after instal reboot, I rebooted again to see how fast startup was....
