Leopard Update - 10.5.5

Leopard users, run your software update. 10.5.5 has been releaced, with mainly some minor bug fixes. Installed and no issues for me.

Apple's support notes claims "extensive" graphics improvements so it'll be interesting to see what comes out of it. Maybe CoD4, UT3, and Gears of War can finally come out.

 

No problem here either.

 

I have no idea what is going on but my growl notifications for Mail.app are flying in without any stuttering at all. On 10.5.4 having 30 hit at a time could slow things down. Not happening on 10.5.5. Haven't noticed anything else changed just yet but will hammer the system later on to try break things after a backup.

 

I can't help but wonder if "extensive graphics enhancements" means they've potentially under clocked the 8600m GT in MacBook Pro's, due to the recent faulty GPU's.

Oh well, mine's a year old and survived playing Bioshock, Crysis and a few other demanding games. If those didn't blow my GPU, nothing will.

Edit: It stuck a "MobileMe" in the system preferences. Whatever that is.

 

No major issues here, everything running nicely. Athough when I updated my wifes macbook this morning, upon reboot I got a strange grey screen with a disk icon to asking me to select the start up disk... there is only one hard drive and no bootcamp etc, so very strange that it asked.

Installed on my iBook and MBP with no problems. Havent done my iMac yet (didnt have time to back up last night) but I'd reckon there shouldnt be any problems on it either

 

321 MB update

its gonna take me 3 hours to update it in India on the so called broadband with 256 kpbs speed

10.5.3 worked wonders for me.....and my dual boot vista was fine & didnt have time lags in between when using vista

10.5.4 again gave me probs in vista

i hope 10.5.5 smoothens it

as far as mac os experience goes.......every update has made it better only for me

 

10.5.5 works great, a lot of positive responses. However it's not possible for OS X to give you problems in Vista. What do you mean?

 

well when i use vista......i used to get frequent pauses......like the mouse wont move for 5 seconds......!! then agian it works....then after some time......same thing.

but after 10.5.3 it was smooth

in 10.5.4.......i again had that prob

just finished 10.5.5........and its sorted again.......its smooth in vista

i dunno how the mac update affects that

 

MY MBA seems more stable and snappy with the latest update.

 

Thanks for the notice. Downloading updates now. It looks like it's going to take a few hours. Quicktime alone is going to take 24 minutes. My guess is that Apple's severs are swamped. If this fixes the GPU issues, I will be much happier. I'm not a gamer so they can make it as slow as they can. I'm hoping that there's a fix for Windows XP too as my MBPs are all dual boot.

 

For me everything seems to be normal. I have not noticed any changes. It actually downloaded quit fast on my schools network. So i am all happy.

 

It's been an hour and 20 minutes and I've downloaded about a quarter of the updates. There are updates for quite a few other software packages getting downloaded too. The actual Mac OSX download just started and the projected time is 2 hours. Our company network is pretty fast. It might just be California getting to work.

 

The update took about 4 hours to download at work. It took about 30 minutes from my apartment though it was at 5:00 AM. I see no difference in operating temperatures of the CPU and GPU with the update. I also updated my son's system. Update seems fine; no problems with it.

 

Im just curious what fix are you looking for on Windows XP?
I think Windows XP works great on my MacBook Pro 17 with Bootcamp.
I havent had any issues.

 

Little faster but all good

 

Took <10 min to download all the updates. No problems with it.

 

I was looking for a way to detune the graphics card.

 

Bro the same thing happened to me. But I just thought vista was freezing because the battery wasn't adjusted to perform under vista or something. The mouse use to freeze and nothing worked for about 10-20 seconds. But this mainly happened when my macbook was running on battery. I have to get the new update to see if it fixes it but i don't have a steady connection so I don't know when that will be.

 

thank God I am not the only one having this problem on this planet

by the way this still happens..... but less

 

10.5.3 was the most stable for me when i use vista

for mac os x.......every update has made it better n better

 

No problems here either. It's fantastic.

 

I didn't see anything new until I tried to print something from my laptop in the university library using a VPN connecting. For some reason, it's not compatible anymore.

 

i googled an got the solution

its due to intel chipset driver problem

1) Download and install the LATEST Bootcamp update for Vista

2) Download and install the LATEST Intel Chipset Drivers

3) Go to Program and Features, Click on "Repair" Boot Camp Services

This should completely fix all your horrible "freezing" problems!

 

Do i get the bootcamp update on vista or osx?
gotta be vista then

Ill let you know if it helps
