Rumor: Mac OS X 10.5.3 will be released soon

Yeah, it's on version tracker, too.

10.5.3 IS HERE!!!!!

I just fired up Software Update and it appeared!

It's a 420 MB download.

Here I go...

I do hope this update fixes a lot of stability problems. These occur prominently when using 802.1x wireless networks and using BT modem. These problems take down the whole system to a grind.. Also my MBP (august 2007) still has problems falling asleep (tried many things, most only work temporarily). 10.5.x Has been my most unstable/unreliable system since 10.1.. Quite disappointing and very annoying.

Apple has been pointing at MS because people have downgraded from Vista to XP. Well I know some people (three so far) who downgraded to Tiger. If this update doesn't fix anything I might do the same!

I've no HP drivers installed.

I just hope they fix Front Row so it will become useful: - subtitles (through Perian) do not work (you get a black screen), if you have a video on a remote but unavailable disk, Front Row takes minutes to load, it crashes a lot, scrolling through a list of videos makes the list jump erratically and TV Shows are not listed by season.

However, if I look at the list of fixes, I guess I am out of luck. Again.

Mmm... Graphics driver performance fix...

My iMac still is not always stable graphics-wise. Watching the Front Row now-playing flipping-coverart and song title turn into bloodred squares with static-like coloured lines here and there is disturbing. And it interferes with things like iMovie and iDVD. I hope software can fix it, because I don't have any patience to parting with my main Mac for a week or few...

Hope the automatic sleep will working 100%
Now it isn't.

This update sounds like it's going to be a good one.

I must admit I have zero problems with my MBP connecting to my Airport Extreme after sleep, but what I do experience every other day or so, is a kernel panic related to the sudden motion sensor. I really hope that's fixed.

And whatever happened to MyDreamApp?

I just hope they sort out the search results again. I really want my 'Sort by Date Modified' or 'by Size' back again. Somehow 'Last Opened', 'Kind" and "Name' is often not enough, when looking for things.

@Paul

This is a WIDELY reported problem w/late 2007 MacBooks...hardly confined to my little corner of the MacBook universe.

And a kernel panic that ONLY happens whenever I insert a DVD movie, and then DVD Player opens, is by its very nature software based...no?

For I never have the same result upon inserting a data DVD.

NEVER.

ONLY when a movie DVD is inserted, and DVD player fires up does the KP occur.

DEFINITELY a software based issue.

Google it. ;-)

Apple needs to fix this.
