Mac OS X 10.5.2 Inches Closer... Build 9C23 Seeded
- Thread starter MacRumors

Also considering probably a fair bunch of the Genius's still haven't got the grasps of Leopard either, nevermind fix something in it.
Anyone remember what the time span was between the 10.5.1 seed rumored and when it actually was available for the public?
Who cares about that? It'd be much more important if they could get Duke Nukem released!
Haha, yes, you would think that would work, right? However, for some strange reason I wasn't allowed to select myself as the one with the permissions. Hence the reinstall of the update.
No amount of fiddling with user permissions (manual or otherwise) solved the problem.
How dare you live more than 15 minutes away from the Apple Store?!?!? You should be ashamed of yourself.
I think it's hilarious that there are people out there that think that everyone only lives 5 minutes away from everything. It's almost.... cute.
I don't have to do that
Hmm.. this is strange, i wonder if i need to change a setting, if there is a setting to prevent the password request, then any ideas were it is?
Haha, yeah that's a good pointI can think of one "known issue" - it's not out yet!
what do you think the chances of it being out today are anyway?
I'll bet most of us who regular MacRumors forums etc could easily outsmart most 'geniuses' at the apple stores. I know I could.
No that would be after the initial release. When everybody will scream because their old dock can't do "Composite Video/HDI/xx" also... Then the $20 rebate will be offered...
Seriously, I can't wait to have a fully functional OS once again! Doh, I did some sarcasm again... dargn!
I kinda did. It was great. He didn't even want to do further tests on the machine because everything I was mentioning he was agreeing with. But still, the Genius' are far more better than phone support.
Yeah, it's funny sometimes when you're talking to them and you tell them that you've tried this, this, this, this, this, this and they can't think of anything else for you to try... THAT's when you know you're pretty smart with Macs.
Weird. In all of the years that I've used Macs, I've never had that window pop up when I've ran Software Update. Maybe it's just a weird coincidence. But if it isn't..... you heard it here first!
There's obviously something very specific to either certain chipsets or certain routers (I know, it isn't supposed to matter!)
I back up two macs to a third mac over wifi (using Time Machine) with no issues whatsoever, ever. My wifi works flawlessly (better than under Tiger.)
I'm using two AEBS to create my wireless network and I have around 20 devices (g or n) connected to it.
I keep reading all these issues people are having and I can't believe I'm simply lucky (there's no precedent for that with me and technology!) So I wonder if there's any data out there for the exact nature of the setup people with wifi issues have, versus those who don't.
Very odd!
I hope the server version of the update includes a fix for iTunes 7.6, iTunes has basically been useless on that machine (freezing, becoming non responsive) and I'm not sure if it was from the iTunes update or 10.5.1 since I actually applied them at about the same time.
but this is the machine I use to serve all my content to Apple TV, use it as a DVR (withe a TV Tuner), etc...
Also, I've noticed that sometimes My Airport Extreme appears as a PC Server (with the tan monitor, blue screen of death icon)

Compare a Mac Genius to a Best Buy Geek? Now there's a "night and day" situation!
A friend of mine had her machine (windows) refuse to boot. Kept booting, rebooting, rebooting etc etc. She hadn't updated virus software in living memory and she had a ton of viruses.
Best Buy told her she needed a new hard drive and that would require a new copy of XP (she was told her existing license was no good anymore) and they wanted to charge her $650!
I booted her machine into recovery mode and restored it to factory condition from the restore partition (after putting her drive in a USB enclosure and copying all her data off first.) Took 2 hours (plus about 8 goes round the houses with Microsoft Update till it decided it was up to date.) Cost: $0!
Mac geniuses are pretty good on the whole, and I've certainly never gotten advice THAT bad from them!
