Share

10.5.6 is out, go grab it from Software update (377mb here!) or via the standalone installer.

Here are the details or check below.  It looks like there are many performance improvements in this one!  Yes, we are feeling the snappieness™, are you?

Summary

The Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update is recommended for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard versions 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, 10.5.3, 10.5.4, and 10.5.5. It includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

Installation recommendations

  • Back up your computer prior to installing any updates.
  • Quit any open applications before starting the installation.
  • Do not interrupt the installation process.
  • You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you have modified the operating system through other means, or if you have moved Apple applications from their default locations (the /Applications or /Applications/Utilities folders). (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)

Installation options

Automatic Software Update

Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to automatically check for the latest Apple software.

Standalone installer

Apple Downloads offers a standalone installer that you can use instead, if you wish.

The mouse feels a lot smoother, but the Finder is really running ahead of itself in terms of version numbering. It's now up to 10.5.8. I know back with 10.5.2, the Finder was numbered 10.5.3, but apparently it's gained an extra version since then.

My package is only 190MB, MacBook Pro Early 2008, hmmm, haven't installed it yet.

Just upgraded to 10.5.6 and turned on synching my iPhone Contacts and Calendars with my MacBook Pro via MobileMe.

So far so good. A quick benefit: The color designations for my home, business, fun, sports calendars now match between iPhone and iCal.

Yay!

My package is only 177 mb, IMAC 2.4, installed and it works fine, no problems here.

Greetings from Portugal

Mid-2006 MacBook Pro, Core Duo, ATI Radeon X1600
Desktop immediately after booting after installing update:

2 distorted pixel lines on the bottom. They still disappear and reappear in various places throughout all apps. Also seeing a couple random pixel glitches in the black bars of YouTube videos. Looks as if you have a stuck pixel- except it only happens on YouTube videos.

Good lord, my Safari is snappy as heck now. Could they have added squirrelfish extreme without documenting it or did the install somehow cleared some type of cache or reset something in Safari to make it so responsive? I haven't tested the new Mobile Me updates but I'm really excited about them. Huray, apple finally put out an update that makes me happy.

Just installed the update on a late 2007 Black Macbook, it was 190mb, not 377?! everything seems to be working well, no problems so far!

Now updates to cintacts on my unibody MB are pushed to my iPhone 3g immediately. Nice

Installed on my macbook aluminum 2.0Ghz... Nothing strange... everything works fine...safari seems smoothier ;)

the update was different sizes depending on your model

iMac - 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 677 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

installer size: 190mb

I just installed the update on a first generation, 2006 Macbook, 2Ghz Intel Core Duo.

Lately I've been having problems with Airport, and after calling Belkin for the router and going through every step imaginable, after the update today I'm starting to think it was a flaw from the last one. Knock on wood but for a few weeks my internet was uploading as slow as dialup (and the download speed was still maxing out my ISP) so it is great to have it back.

Overall, as others have noted, Safari is snappier and items seem to be loading faster. It's nice.

 Much snappier!! Since the previous update I had been getting the spinning beach ball rather often and Safari was taking forever to do anything (open new tab, close tab, exit program). I've already noticed things are much nicer. I'm very excited for Snow Leopard! I think it will be Snappiness to the 10th power! Hopefully they'll throw in a few new features too. 

All seems the same here, but that's fine (no glitches seem to have arrived with 10.5.6).

Everyone who has updates of 190mb (etc) -- I _assume_ this is because that is the compressed size, and when inflated on HDD, it's the 300+MB that's been talked of?

This update fixed my bluetooth problem that i had trouble with before. swwweet.

10.5.6 is not compatible with the BlackMagic Multibridge Pro. At all.
Causes mac to be useless. Have wiped preferences, completely f*cked!

DO NOT upgrade is you have a Blackmagic Multibridge Pro. Somebody help, please!
