Apple Seeds Another New OS X 10.5.7 Build

You know...

If MacOS X 10.6 won't have native Blu-Ray support, I honestly won't understand Apple for being so stupid.

By the way anyone interested in a MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz, Intel Core 2 Duo Memory:3 GB and an Apple Monitor? All with Apple care. The MacBook Pro is NOT the new unibody version but the classical look just before the change.

Hate to sell it but going to L.A. for the summer and need the dough. :(

UK seller. London. Bought at Regent St. Apple.
 
with respect to Linux is keeping your machine updated. Running around looking for the latest bug and security patches for apps is a pain on the Mac. I'd really like to see a repository approach like Linux distros use or something similar to iPhones app store. In many ways app store makes it as easy to keep your iPhone updated as it does a Linux box, it would be nice to see Apple move in this direction with OS/X.

If your Mac connected to the Internet, there's very simple way to keep your Mac updated. It's called “Software Update” in the System Preferences.

MS Office 2004 does not work well with 10.5.6; I hope Apple fixes that for 10.5.7, presuming that Apple itself is supposed to fix that piece of crap, and not MS...:rolleyes:

Um, I must be lucky. My MS Office 2004 is working fine with 10.5.6.

Then why do you want Blu-ray on the MacBook, 15" MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and 20" iMac?

I'm guessing he means that everyone of those products has a HDMI capable output port, and thus could be connected to a HDTV to watch the Blu-Ray. That or for data storage (which I thought already worked on a Mac with external BD-R drives ?).

that does only cover "apple software" (ilife, logic,iwork,...) not third-party applications. (as far as i know/experienced)

If 10.6 doesn't have Blu-Ray support, it only means that Apple thinks it can't make any profits from it.

One more time. Just explain to me why we even need it.

It really doesn't matter. Apple doesn't make decisions on the basis of what anybody thinks they need, only on how it affects Apple's own bottom line.
 
Hope it fixes support for HP printer

I hope 10.5.7 fixes my ability to print with my new HP Photosmart B 8550 printer. I had to drop back to 10.5.5 to print with it or on my old iMac using 10.4.11.

Mac support blamed HP and HP blamed Apple. I'm stuck using old systems for a new printer that only came out late last fall.:mad:

Next time make sure you bought a printer that is supported with any version of Leopard. I have a HP Officejet 5510xi, old like a bitch. But working fantastic with Leopard!

That's true.

However you can also download the latest security fixes for OSX with Software Update.

Name one 3rd party app that is worth a crap that doesn't do the same thing as software update everytime you launch it.

Even if an app doesn't, it generally has a check for update selection right there in the help or app menu. I have never known getting updates to be a problem. What's the big deal? Seems like if somehow the existence of a small update of sorts slips through, you didn't need it that bad anyway.

Well, all 5 Blu-Rays I've bought until now have come with a free digital copy I could download, so I don't really need to drag the disk around with me.

That digital copy SD? Cuz if so, then it only fills about 1/4 of your laptop screen. Unless you blow it up to fill. And oh wow, that's a beautiful tech breakthrough. Real pretty to look at.

Dunno, I haven't downloaded a single one yet. Then again, even in SD, won't be worse than SD fansubs I download and watch stretched on my 23" monitor.

Almost every piece of software I have on my Mac has either an auto update feature or a check for updates now selection. In fact, I would say, every piece of software I use does this.

Software Update can also be done manually, but it won't check for updates for programs that you moved out of the Applications folder.

The point is that Software Update can't check all installed applications, and doing all update checks manually is a no go - a hands-down victory for the Linux repository checks, and this without installing a third part application.

I swear that some people are getting way too spoiled with technology!

What's wrong with checking “check updates“ feature when you use your third party application?

Name me an application where doesn't have the “checking for updates” feature at least.

Oh BTW, that's why Apple has named the APPLICATIONS folder the APPLICATIONS folder, you're supposed to put your APPLICATIONS into this folder. :rolleyes:

Looks like it's getting closer and closer. SOOOO EXCITED! Can't wait!

I don't have any issues with my Macbook and there's no new feature in this release. There's a chance this release will cause new problems that weren't there before.

I'm more excited about Snow Leopard. It sounds like it will be the highly optimized release that we've all been looking for since 10.0 that will make a two year old Mac scream. Plus the new APIs will enable developers to make robust apps for the Macs with less effort than before. I'm also sure that Apple is also making the OS even more secure than Leopard.
