Mac OS X 10.5.6 Release Imminent... Friday?

Oh God PLEASE let them finally fix this stupid airport dropout/slow connection problem. It's only in Leopard (post 10.5.2 I want to say). I've tried all kinds of routers, settings, etc. Wifi work fine under Vista 64. Come on Apple.

I agree, but I don't have much hope that the dropping connections will be fixed. I really don't know why Apple still hasn't resolved the dropping wireless conections. Every time I play a game with network connection (for instance Age of Empires III) the connections drops and the LAN game is ruined as the other players wonder what happened to me.

Does anyone know what the difference is between fixing and resolving an issue?

Resolving means having and providing a solution to a problem while fixing refers to the act that is necessary in order to obtain the solution. A devoloper is told that there is an issue. He would do some coding or whatever in order to fix it. When he's done fixing it, the issue is resolved.

Thus, in the end, fixed and resolved mean exactly the same.

Who gives a sh't, they're bug fixes. We should always get a list of changes that way we know exactly what they're fixing and what they're ignoring.

If you really think that the content of the declared fixed list is the complete list then ...

A company releasing bug fixes only declares the fixes for defects that a customer has spotted, if no one has identified an issue then it is likely to be fixed without a fanfare.

I work for a software company (NOT Apple) so don't ever expect a full list of changes.
 
Hmmm....

I'm curious about memory leaks... My Mac has 4gb of ram and is getting a bit slower. Is this a memory leak?:confused:

Hmm...:rolleyes:

Hmm...

Command-H and applications hiding fix

Does this mean that the checkbox named Hide in the Login Items list of System Preferences' Accounts pane might actually do something once again?

I want Mail, iCal and Safari all loaded and ready to go each time I log in. But I want them hidden until I click them. I can't remember exactly when this stopped working, but it was some time ago - possibly as far back as 10.3.9...

One can hope!
 
Lol, another step to Snow Leopard, when 10.5.8 come out, then we'll be ready for the new beast:D

Again in Chinese: 呵呵，又离SNOW LEOPARD近了一步，当10.5.8 来临，我们就会看到苹果的新野兽了:D

and in French: Bingo! ,on ai de plus en plus proche de Snow leopard, cans il' y aura 10.5.8, je serais prais pour le nouveau animal de AAPL,:p

Same here. It's a pain in the *ss. Whenever I use airtunes to stream from my iMac to my AppleTV, the internet connection drops. I tried tons of solutions, all to no avail.

wow, this whole time i thought it was my router. that would be fantastic if they fixed it with the update. some days it's horrible
 
Anyone know if this will address iTunes hanging the whole mac when browsing the store?
 
I hope this fixes the issue where you're using MS Office 2004 or Pages on 10.5, using the Papyrus font, and then print it to an HP printer. The printer keeps getting errors b/c of that. Runs fine on Tiger under the same conditions.

Not always. Depends on the company's philosophy. I worked in many I/T departments where fix means, "we just put something in place" (work around, disabled features, zap rtn to convert ongoing bad data to proper format [rather than fixing the cause of the bad data to begin with], etc) until we can get it resolved.

Fix could mean temporary solution (although not always the best solution - just enough to slow down or stop the issue from occuring / being reported). therefore it is still in open issue.

Resolved could mean they got to the core of the issue, and provided a permanate solution so that it never occurs again. Therefore the issue is closed.

The end user thinks fixed and resolved are the same, but to a programmer / engineer; fixed means off my plate for now while I work on something else, or work on getting it resolved.

Like a resturant, what goes on in the kitchen; sometimes you do not want to know.

I once worked for a major Medical laboratory testing company. their whole philosophy was providing fixes and work arounds, they never resolved anything - drove me nuts. talk about your spaghetti code to support:

Input from user -> routine to correct the data to the correct format -> routine to correct a problem that the last routine caused -> filer -> post-filer to convert the data to the outdated filing structure -> pre-display to convert data to new display structure -> routine to fix problem in pre-display -> routine to format data into obsolete fields -> Display to user.
