    Everything seems to run just a little bit smoother as it did before, but I find it hard to tell the difference.



    Safari still does reach 74% on the acid3 test, and the colours in my iPhone calender are still not the same I use in iCal to name a few things I would like to see.



    Come on apple, you fixed the things you should have fixed two months ago (10.5.1 should have been the first 10.5 release, and 2.0.2 / 2.1 should have been the first iPhone 3G). I realy almost lost my pride in the quality of apple.



    But at this improvement pace I hope to receive some functionality upgrade within a few months.

    Safari 4.0, push notification, iTunes 8.1.

    I don't recall Apple has ever releasing an updated browser with a point update.



    Safari 4.0 Beta you can get via Apple's developer site for free. It's quite stable.



    iTunes 8.1, already? v8 was released less than a week ago and it seem quote good so far. if anything 8.0.1 would be for any minor bug fixes.

    and for all the Germans....



    Schnie, Schna Schnappi, Schnappi Schnappi Schnap....



    Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil....



    Non West Europeans can be happy they don't know the song the Germans terrorised our charts with, some years ago

    I still hear it in my head, whenever I read that an app feels snappier.



    PLEASE HAVE SOME MERCY ON ME

    Well, now it reminds me that it happened several times to me. I set my iMac to sleep before I went to bed and found out that it was somehow power on in midnight. I would definitely freak out if I witnessed it. I hope the update does fix this.

    It always seems to be the little things that aren't on the official list that make my day. The things that make you say, "Damn, someone thought of that!"

    improves Mail robustness when sending messages



    What does this mean? Did we get new mail features?



    Photo attachments in Mail have always been a pain (maybe I'm just a novice). I want to send photo as an attachments without having to archive them and they always get embedded in the email.

    Im pretty sure that most of the issues are adobe's fault.







    However, has anyone else had these occasional problems with flash cs3 (The problem has happened since 10.5.4 for me, but the update did not appear to fix them):

    Use the version from here:



    http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki



    I had a problem with X11 not working after I installed a 10.5 combo upgrade, and after installing the latest version from that site, it works fine. Apple essentially follows the versions released there in their official releases (just lags behind a lot).

    I saw your post, and I thought that you were exaggerating.



    After I installed and rebooted, I opened Safari and Mail and they opened and ran very quickly.



    "Snappier" indeed!

    It already happened to you in 10.5.5? I've seen it (the problem with the menu bar not "following" when one switch app), but it usually takes some time after a restart (at least that's the feeling I have).

    If that problem had affected my mac mini I would never have known it because it's always on. It's my Folding@home, iphoto library, music production, Tunes library, and primary home computer. Oddly enough I have a macbook pro 17" that is faster, and has a higher monitor resolution but I still prefer using my mac mini when I'm at home.

    I don't know if it'll work, but I've been having this problem for a while and was lucky enough to read your post.

    But to my knowledge, the opengl linking bug is still broken when using Darwine/wine.

    Hmmm....



    10.5.5. Install went fine, and Spotlight is currently re-indexing, but at the moment, ARD 3.0 Admin won't launch, giving me an error that says the software may not be installed correctly...



    After spotlight is done, I'll repair permissions and reboot, but an early warning if you rely on ARD that something may be fishy...

    I happens every single time I click a new mail desktop alert from Entourage, so it's pretty easy to test. Other occurrences seem more random, so there could be some blame on MS's side, but still....

    I haven't installed 10.5.5 yet but I was really hoping this would fix the InDesign hiding bugs (that is will not Hide as well as the bigger problem of it hiding and not UNhiding).

    Adobe says that it's Apple's fault and are working with them to fix the issues. I don't know who's fault it is but I'd sure like to see this fixed. I would be inclined to agree that this is an Apple issue since it happens with other apps (although not as much as InDesign) and for me the issue NEVER happened before 10.5. Since it only happens in 10.5 that leads me to think it's Apple, not Adobe. Adobe has also said that InDesign's core architecture is different than most programs and that is why it happens more in that program than others.



    Here's to hoping Apple (or Adobe) fix this thing fast. It's a major issue and causes work to be lost!

    Hey folks,





    Just wanted to add the data.



    My Aluminum iMac rebooted, and then rebooted again automatically mid-start-up. I am assuming that is not a good sign.



    Once everything was up and running, everything appears to be running slower.



    Suggestions?
