Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.5.3 (9d19) to Developers

For everyone who has issues they want fixed, have you filled out a very thorough bug report at bugreport.apple.com? If not, there's a chance that Apple doesn't know about it yet. The most important thing when filing a good bug report is to use their template and provide as much relevant information as humanly possible.

It always makes me wonder when I see reports of "no known issues" in seeds when I'm sure that they can't possibly have fixed every single one of the hundreds (or maybe thousands??) of bugs that exist. Is it because Apple isn't aware of them or simply that they don't consider anything else to be "showstoppers" that cause major harm. The only way to know for sure is to send good reports of your own issues. At least then you know they're aware of the problem.

FWIW, I've submitted several bug reports, and while some appeared to be new to them, most were marked as "duplicate report" by Apple engineers. Regardless, it helped me feel better knowing for sure that they're aware of the problem.
 
All I want is for my Airport issues to go away for good.PERIOD:apple:



Windows XP has grown on me again, but my main program used daily is OSX only aka Logic Pro 7.
 
omg

Don't say the final Mac OS X 10.5.3 update will become available as a free update, when the hell has it not been free, the more you say this crap apple will most likely charge us for it. When will journalist learn.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Wherever you go. There’s your Mac.
Back to My Mac puts any remote Leopard-based Mac you use within easy reach. .Mac finds your Mac computers over the Internet and displays them in the Leopard Finder on the Mac you’re using. So you can connect from anywhere with just a click.

I just use dyndns. Its free and works the same, mostly. I haven't tried back to my Mac yet, not sure I will since you have to pay for it.

:mad: I hear a lot of annoyances with Leopard on this website. I hope I don't experience any of them. This is my first mac (my reason for buying was Apple's innovation, the rock solidness of Tiger, and the nice additions in Leopard). I ordered it yesterday through macmall, it shipped yesterday and by the tracking ticket - it should be here today or Monday. Please let me be a happy mac owner!! :apple::rolleyes: I am really sick of Windows. WIN 98 second edition and XP professional were the best operating systems from MS. All the others I have not been happy with as there were too many problems and comapitibility issues. I did not dare to try vista. Many Many people I know upgraded to it or bought new computers and are sorry they did and are looking where they can buy XP disks.

Can any one tell me if these updates are required or optional? One thing I hate about MS is waking up in the morning to find that updates were downloaded and then spend 1/2 my day fixing the errors that are occuring.

Also, I probably may not connect my MAC to the internet (atleast not yet) I have heard that while Mac viruses are few and far between, Windows viruses still get downloaded to your MAC. While they can't do anything - they clog up your hard drive and eat disk space. Can anyone recommend a good virus protection, adware and bot removal tools for the mac? I would not want that junk clogging it up - should I connect to the internet.

MAC is not an acronym ;). But honestly, it just depends on your setup. I feel that if you've got a lot of 3rd party crap installed then you'll have more issues. I have not had any of the issues with Leopard people have expressed. I'm sure it does have its bugs, I just haven't seen them yet. In fact, since I installed Leopard when it first came out, I have never had a single freeze or kernel panic.

The way you word it, it makes it sound like your Mac will be hacked and viruses (that don't do anything) will be downloaded without your permission, just by connecting to the Internet. The only way this could happen without user intervention is through exploiting that specific type of security hole (one that requires no user intervention). Otherwise, if you mean going to web sites on the Internet, you would have to actively open a file that exploits a security hole, such as loading an image or movie file on a web page. (Or, you could knowingly download and run a program that purports to be something else, or something that says you "need it," and you don't know what else to do so you just install it.) Anyway, if your Mac is being hacked just to store Windows viruses on your hard drive, then what's the point in hacking the computer in the first place? My point is, if someone is going through all the trouble to hack your Mac, don't worry, they will go all the way and write a Mac virus or do whatever for "useful purposes", and not pretend to by filling up your hard drive with programs that they know can't be run in the first place (which I can't imagine is useful.) ;) So you don't need to worry about your hard drive being filled up with Windows malware.
 
Apple Is the best!!

You can't compare apple to any other computer company. They are doing everything right!

Do you mean the force quit dialog when holding cmd + option + escape? Because that doesn't work.
If not, I will try your suggestion next time. :)

I think Front Row locked up a few times while playing a dvd. I was going to Force Quite and the above key combination got me out of Front Row. See if it helps you.

Actually, MAC is indeed an acronym in this context.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_address

BTTM uses IPv6 tunneling and your systems MAC address to identify it and allow you to connect over the the internet and thru routers, etc

I currently use BTTM and dyndns.org for different reasons. BTTM is nice seamless integration for screen sharing ,etc

and dyndns is nice for running clutch, web server, etc

Hmmm

Aperture photos in Front Row
That annoying desktop photo selection bug
iChat video and audio chats with AIM 6.whateveritisnow users
Oh and the annoying Preview samples in ultrabeat bug (although that may require a Logic update)

Those would make me very happy

Yep, it is beyond me why Aperture still does not show up in Front Row.

as a mere mortal .. no problem .. but as a demi-God - that's a different story .. hence with you as a mere mortal like the rest of us - i guess the macrumors ratings mean nothing :p

sorry - no offense meant - just thought you'd be a little more cheeky instead of personally offended

This is an ill informed comment. Apple would be stupid to stop their "free" updates... that would be like paying for basic cable, unthinkable... I would never pay for a free update...;)
