Apple soon to release initial seed of Mac OS X 10.5.4 to developers
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 - 04:45 PM EST

"Apple, less than a week away from its annual developers conference, is preparing to begin widespread testing of Mac OS X 10.5.4, its fourth maintenance and security update to the Leopard operating system," Kasper Jade reports for AppleInsider.

"People familiar with the matter say developers could have the first pre-release copies of the update in their hands by week's end. It's almost a certainty that the beta software will surface by the company's developer's conference next week, they add," Jade reports.

Here's hope'in it fixes OS X 10.5.3 and doesn't take forever to get to the street!

Hey Apple, before you do anything, fix the CS3 file corruption that 10.5.3 introduced.

CS3 and Adobe suck donkey dick.

Mac OS X - soon to be 0.0.4 % snappier!

@ jiffo
What CS3 file corruption are you speaking of? You've got me a little worried.

Nobody supports working on Adobe files on a server.
Nobody supports working on Quark files on a server.
Quit being lazy you 'tards.

Adobe sucks, not Apple.
10.5.3 is solid.

Given that Apple seeds these updates to developers long in advance it seems that Adobe dropped the ball here bigtime, not Apple. People should be demanding a refund from these two companies whose customer service is as bad as it comes

Now you know what 5+4 equals...

Apple makes it still snappier! wink

Wow they are really pumping these things out, feels like i just bought 10.5 and here we are half way through it.

Jun 03, 08 - 04:50 pm Comment from: www-dot-thefreemac-dot-com

Forget 10.5.4, when are we getting 10.6?

I need an excuse to buy a new computer and she is never going to let me if they keep on making their old OS faster!!!!!

Come on Apple, take a leaf out of Vista's book, we need Octo-Core, 8Gb of RAM and a 512Mb graphics card as the minimum spec.

Joe, what are you talking about? Are you still stuck on the Decimal System you learned about in grade school? 10.5.5 could be all she wrote! Or maybe 10.5 will go to "11" - or beyond. You have to get over this "thing" you learned back in grammar school and move on to adult thought patterns. When did you ever see TWO "decimal points" in a single "expression"? When that second "." rears its confusing head, you need to be ready to comprehend that things have changed. For the better.
Me, I'm waiting for them to fix the glitch that turned my NAS (Network Attached Storage) into the Invisible Disk! What a shock THAT was! Choose: Leopard or NAS! All my wife's backups were out there! Time Capsule saved the day, but it took a while.

Wow, take a pill, dude. Where's Peterson? At least his crankiness was funny.

Jun 03, 08 - 07:47 pm Comment from: Rob,

10.5.4 means insanely great things are coming next week.

@www-dot-threfreemac-dot-com

You'll be amused, but not surprised, to find out that Vista can't handle more than two cores and can only use 3.3GB of memory. Techie friends assure me confidently that a simple patch will allow Vista to access 4GB of memory.

Why bother bashing Microsoft? They're going to collapse like a soufflé.

I too witnessed a sudden appearance of corrupt CS3 PS files after the update; I just didn't attribute the problem to the OS X update.

Jun 03, 08 - 10:48 pm Comment from: Mac User

I can't tell any difference whatsoever in functionality or performance after installing 10.5.3. I guess 10.5.4 will be more of the same...

Jun 03, 08 - 11:00 pm Comment from: @www-dot-threfreemac-dot-com

The OS isn't holding you back; this should help your timing. Or not. If you're looking for an iMac, now's the time.

I did has a JPEG.

But I eated it. =(

So soon... Apple must have been holding 10.5.3 back, until just before WWDC and iPhone 2.0 release.

Jun 04, 08 - 01:02 am Comment from: toby

I absolutely HATE Adobe. I think they're subpar programming at SUPER expensive prices.

Jun 04, 08 - 04:49 am Comment from: cubist

I installed 10.5.3, then I get a message "Time machine error. Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume."

I hope it had nothing to do with the Limewire update I downloaded the same day (for research purposes only, of course).

"I did has a JPEG. But I eated it. =( "

I can see that all the words you used were English, but could you please provide the secret decoder ring for the above code?

Jun 04, 08 - 11:24 am Comment from: neomonkey

@XMP(arser), it is pretty dumb, and way overused on Caturday, but you're obviously not a Farker.

I'm liking 10.5.3 on my Powerbook, but wireless signal strength is still about ⅔ of what I get in Tiger. However, the Airport popdown showing which available wireless networks are password protected with a lock symbol is a nice touch.
