Mac OS X 10.5.2 Not Quite Ready Yet (9C30 Seeded)

Any word on the Leopard Graphics Update? Is that also being updated for final release along with 10.5.2? The GMA X3100 driver in the MacBook/MacBook Air needs serious fixing. *fingers crossed*
 
Someone posted a thread at Insanely Mac Forums with some (exlusive) information and screenshots about the new Leopard update as well as the graphics update.

I'm downloading the iPhoto Update with just 20 kB/s. Is everyone experiencing these extremely slow speeds?

Maybe people should stop pushing that "Check" button for 10.5.2. It won't come today, Apple isn't quite ready. They're near but not yet ready.

Any idea on what it fixes? "General compatibility issues with Mac OS X"? :p
I'm willing to bet Apple are going to update their applications before they roll out 10.5.2 just to make sure everything goes smoothly for their customers.

Updated so far:
  1. Numbers '08 - Updated
  2. Pages '08 - Updated
  3. Keynote '08 - Updated
  4. iWeb '08 - Updated
  5. iPhoto '08 - Updated

Things to be updated (possibly), list far from complete but I'm not sure what else would need updates:
  1. iMovie '08
  2. iDVD '08
  3. GarageBand '08

Actually, the iWork Updates issued last week (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) broke my iWork installation. Both Pages and Keynote missed some nib file(s) which caused the windows not to appear any more. Numbers behaved really strange as well.

As much as I dislike Windows Vista, I do have to say one thing. Bashing MS for charging more for the "Ultimate" edition is probably slightly misguided.

For starters, it's apparently the only version of Vista that includes DVDs with *both* a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the OS on them. (That means some Vista Ultimate buyers are making back a few bucks reselling the version they're not interested in installing. See eBay for many examples of this.)

But more importantly, Vista Ultimate includes the "media center" functionality which Apple still lacks. All we got from Apple is "Front Row". While slick-looking, Front Row is frankly little more than a vehicle to help boost the sales of content purchased from iTunes. If it's not directly related to material you can buy from the iTunes store, Front Row doesn't really work with it (other than displaying your photos from iPhoto).

I just sold my g/f a new iMac 20" of mine. She upgraded from a PC running XP Media Center edition. So far, she's largely disappointed, because first - she had to spend another $100 on a TV tuner and software just to get back *some* of what her Media Center PC could do. Then, we discovered the tuner we bought couldn't do "time shifting" of live TV broadcasts coming from her analog cable company's signal. For that, she had to spend about $80 more on a more advanced tuner solution. (XP Media Center handled all of this "out of the box".)

Even after we buy the better tuner, it STILL won't tune in FM radio stations like Media Center did, and the integration isn't there either. (EG. You need two remote controls, one for the TV software and one for Front Row. You can't even make the "EyeTV" software plug in as another menu option on Front Row's menu or anything. The two act like totally independent apps, despite making perfect sense to be integrated as one front-end for media.)

agreed on all counts. as much as i can't stand to be on windows any more, getting things like media integration really really right makes lots of sense for apple. especially with them so buddy buddy with content creators, with their ipods, apple tv's, and the like. i have all of that stuff. i'd like to see great media integration all around and have things works flawlessly with the apple tv. please.
 
Actually iMovie was updated at MWSF as well as an update for Quicktime and also Front Row

*edit* As well as iTunes. Forgot about that one! ha!

Repair Permissions Fix?

I wonder if 10.5.2 will include changes to the directory in permissions, so the SUID warnings may no longer slow the repairs. And will the 'time remaining' (under progress bar) report accurately?

Any chance we will see this update by the end of today?

Chance? Sure, there's always a chance. That and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee. :rolleyes:

Someone was asking about which days of the week updates usually are released. Here is a summary:

10.0.1 - 10.0.4: Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
10.1.1 - 10.1.5: Tuesday (twice), Wednesday, Thursday (twice)
10.2.1 - 10.2.8: Monday (twice), Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (3 times), Friday
10.3.1 - 10.3.9: Sunday, Monday (twice), Wednesday (4 times), Friday (twice)
10.4.1 - 10.4.11: Monday (3 times), Tuesday (5 times), Wednesday (twice), Friday,
10.5.1: Thursday

I'm afraid I don't see much of a pattern.
 
No pattern most likely because they'd release it when it's done not when they think people would like it!
;)

I think Wednesday is the most common/ highest chance Apple will release a system update like this.
