Mac OS 10.5.4 Build Notes

[CPressland]

Finally, hanging at shutdown will be fixed :D

Whenever I connect to a network with lots of SMB shares I get issues in this area.

Does this mean Inspector and HUD windows?

No, those still cloak when Expose Activates. :) Just tested it.

I am glad to see that Apple is working hard on the latest Mac OS X 10.5 updates. I haven't had an issue with any of the updates and they would appear to improve the Mac experience, at least in my opinion.

Issues fixed in previous seeds:

- LEAP connection in Airport 802.1x

What exactly does this mean?

Since the 10.5.3 release I've had trouble reconnecting with my wireless access points. I have one on the ground floor of my house and one one the first floor. And if I close my macbook at the ground level and go upstairs and open it there, it takes about 2 minutes to connect. The same goes for the other way around. I have no problems if I keep the laptop running when changing floors. And I haven't had this with 10.5.2. It used to connect instantly.

My access points are 802.11g and my macbook has 802.11n. Could that have something to do with it?

I hope this gets fixed in 10.5.4. I hate to wait or my connection before I can do anything.

Hopefully this update will finally fix the Computer icon for the new 3.06 GHz iMac. I hate the fact the OS seems to think I'm on a 17-inch iMac with iSight. :crazy:

The occasional hang on shutdown is pretty annoying as well.

Usually point releases add new icons, so it sounds like it will. I believe .3 added iPhone and iPod touch icons.

Well v10.5.3 didn't fix this issue and the necessary icon file is already there. Mac OS X just uses the wrong file to correspond with this particular iMac model.

Quickest way to get this addressed is to file it to Bug Reports...

I already did before v10.5.3 came out. It's not a huge issue, I know, but it just looks stupid. :p

No known issues. Should be soon..

I am thinking these builds are simply to introduce some form of Mobile Me / iPhone3 compatibility because I have not felt a change in the way anything works or performs since the first 10.5.4 build.

I'm hoping for the shutdown fix soon too, although I wish Apple would just push it out, and not have to package it in a point update. :(

This release is moving fast, wonder what gives?

My guess is the main parts of the release is compatibility with all the MobileMe / iPhone 2.0 stuff. The bug fixes are just icing in an already scheduled release.

does anyone know if this release will have drivers for the NVidia GeForce 9600 GT?

No new video drivers have made themselves visible in the current seed.

Any info on the supported cameras? I'm going to buy a PowerShot G9, but may reconsider in favour of a Panasonic FZ18 if it gets RAW support.

The PS G9 has tethering problems with Aperture as well. Any news on whether that's been fixed? I'm not sure if it's an OS or Aperture problem (probably the latter, now I think about it)

[giga Veteran]

Use EOS Utility for tethered shooting. Tethering isn't supported by Aperture on the G9 afaik.

Curious though--why the G9? You can get a DSLR at that price.

[Blackice]

I like the excellent picture quality and compact size of the G9. A quick google search revealed an unsupported and problematic tethering mode for the G9. It's in support-limbo, from what I've read.
