I wonder if 10.5.3 will do something about the fan behaviour. They ramp up a bit to early for my liking, especially on the Penryn MacBook's. Other than that I'd like to see something done about the intermittent new mail sound in Mail, but I believe that is to be addressed in this release?
Got a tip for us?

What do you mean "for my liking"? The fans are designed to come on to prevent overheating, they're not an aesthetic device.
Bug rate is constant to the size of the code base, so when Apple adds new features they add more bugs. This is normal in software engineering.
Trying to make sure your code is absolutely free of bugs is too expensive. It would be impossible to make profit with 100 % bug free commercial software. Think about Nasa level software quality assurance here and even they have to deal with bugs in production.
Yeah, it's a bit annoying, and it definitely wasn't as obvious in Tiger.
What annoys me is that it stutters more often with not only that, but many of the other animations (dashboard, genie...). It's like Leopard handles worse, or hogs more, video memory.
Oh well. Leopard is fairly awesome.
Indeed, I'm just hoping for some more effective implementation that would keep our Macs a bit cooler.
So still no backup scheduling? Well at least now my iMac won't backup when it's running on batteries.
Edit: This is priceless, got this message a few weeks ago. (It's been working fine since then though.)
Yea, I had this one too. Really puzzling.

The same thing happened to me, and Time Machine kept failing to backup. I restarted and everything was fine.
Why is it so hard to implement a user-defined timeframe for Time Machine backups? I hope they really implement this, as my computer does not need to be backed-up every hour or so; a once a day function would be nice.
Based on that incredibly detailed bug report, I'm sure they'll be right on it!
Can't wait for this update too. How about making Back To My Mac work with other routers. Or routers that have been IT'ed or over configured by over-zealous IT guys.
And hopefully Time Machine will add the ability to back up on my own determined interval, and allow me to just include what I want, instead of exclude. LET ME CHOOSE APPLE!
After 10.5, I think I am going to wait until 10.6.5 to upgrade to the next OS. I think I got carried away with Leopard's hype.

how do you run an imac on batteries?
nice. i like how time machine is coming along. hopefully next it will be able to backup to multiple disks?
looking forward to 10.5.3

Then as a work-around switch it off all day and on again once a day. I find I leave it on and just cancel if I am busy and don't want any slow downs, but generally once an hour is good. When a client has me changing a load of things and half way through the job he e-mails me and say "You know, now I think about it ... you are right. Please go back to the way it was ..." I can smile and hit the TM button. Then the TB button, (time billing) button
I think the whole point of Time Machine is that if you know enough about back ups to want to schedule them, then Time Machine probably isn't the solution for you - it's supposed to be a selling point for the alarming number of us who currently never back anything up.
Can I direct your attention instead to any number of third party solutions? I'm using Carbon Copy Cloner, which is free and which offers both scheduled and ad hoc back-ups of everything from individual folders to an entire bootable copy of your original drive.
Cheers!

as a graphic designer, i feel the hourly back-ups are perfect for this very reason, especially if you have a file corrupt on you that was fine in the morning, fire up the delorean, and your back in business.
though i also agree on the point about setting your own custom back up times.
there have been bug reports concerning wi-fi since the initial launch of leopard. it's their third attempt to fix the god-damn wi-fi! better be fixed this time! with tiger there weren't any problems... i would really like to see an apple's bug priority map, organized by severity! can anyone get that for me?
Great option for an extensive laptop user like me. Now, I finally don't have to constantly look for a non-existent option!

Honestly, I don't have any issues w/ my wi-fi. I read about them, but do the majority of users actually experience them. Regardless, Apple should squash them, but I can't vent about a problem that I personally don't have, which goes against the grain on this forum at times.
