    Overall, I don't see issues with my Macs running 10.5.3 I do however notice problems with my PowerMac G5 ever since I started using Time Machine. I observe behavior after waking it from sleep where I am unable to access the Internet, restart, or shutdown. Also, I am unable to launch applications after waking it.



    I was hoping that 10.5.3. would fix the issues but it hasn't. I don't have any complaints with my MacBook Pro (Penryn).

    I agree. CS3 is an obscure suite that nobody really uses.

    Fix the Finder so it automatically remembers view settings (icon, list, column) for each folder without the user having to hard-code it in View Options.

    This is pretty cool considering how hard Apple works to constantly improve Mac OS X. Hopefully 10.5.4 will be considerably smaller in megabytes.

    For all of the people complaining about problems that Apple just seems intent on not fixing, have you submitted bug reports? This is meant as an actual question, not in an accusatory manner.



    Apple can't fix what they don't know about.

    Even that is not permanent. I've done this through the view method many times only to see that my customized defaults are not persistent.



    Also I need a Finder up arrow for getting back to home even though I never came from home. Can I do this somehow [without a 3rd party utility]?

    It's still there. They just changed the location.



    System Prefs->Security Pane -> Firewall tab.





    Unless you're referring to other issues.

    What is actually the problem with Firewall in Leopard?

    I have to run in a meeting but the basics are this. It is application based and not port number based. So you "allow" or "disallow" certain programs privileges that are installed on your machine. You don't just open a port anymore. It is vague at best and in my opinion less secure.



    Gotta run...

    Running to the terminal for that goes against the idea of OS X. I can use the terminal just fine, but that doesn't mean I want to, if it can avoided.

    It's like calling Linux a user-friendly-desktop ready to replace Windows....

    I travel worldwide and have my MBP (10.5.3) with me at all times. It has connected to every wireless network without exception. These include hotspots at cafes, hotel banquet rooms, corporate offices, bank networks and exchanges. I run a private equity fund and all of my staff carry Macs with Leopard. No problem at all anywhere we go.



    Agreed. I feel for those of you who have had issues, I really do. However, I have not had these issues either. We have about 60 Macs running Leopard (both Intel & PPC) and so far I've received no negative feedback from staff about their Macs since upgrading to 10.5.3.



    My wireless works wherever I go as well, no issues at all unless it is some goofy hotel network where they've screwed up their routing. I know it is them because I'm usually the only Mac user but not the only one having issues.



    By the way, I have always run permissions repairs both before & after every update, this has always served me well.
