Mac OS X 10.5.8 Update is Out

August 5th, 2009 in Apple, Updates

The latest incremental update to Mac OS X 10.5 a.k.a. “Leopard” is now available via Software Update, or download and run the combo updater. Here is the official word on the changes from Apple:

What’s included in this update:

  • Upgrades Safari to version 4.0.2.
  • Improves the accuracy of full history search in Safari 4.
  • Resolves an issue in which certain resolutions might not appear in the Display pane in System Preferences.
  • Dragging an Aperture image into Automator now invokes an Aperture action instead of incorrectly invoking an iPhoto action.
  • Resolves an issue that could prevent importing of large photo and movie files from digital cameras.
  • Improves overall Bluetooth reliability with external devices, USB webcams and printers.
  • Addresses an issue that could cause extended startup times.
  • Improves iCal reliability with MobileMe Sync and CalDav.
  • Addresses data reliability issues with iDisk and MobileMe.
  • Improves overall reliability with AFP.
  • Improves overall reliability with Managed Client.
  • Improves compatibility and reliability for joining AirPort networks.
  • Improves Sync Service reliability.
  • Includes additional RAW image support for several third-party cameras.
  • Improves compatibility with some external USB hard drives.
  • Includes latest security fixes.

As usual we recommend using Disk Utility’s Verify Disk and Repair Disk permissions before installing the update. Using the Combo Updater may result in fewer problems and feel free to wait a day or two for the dust to settle before applying it.
