Subject: Fw: Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update Crashing Users' Systems
A Monday update to Apple's Leopard operating system is causing a host of
problems for users, ranging from broken Bluetooth connections and no sound
to large popping noises during boot-up and dead USB ports.
The OS X 10.5.6 update is supposed to improve a number of features,
including synching between the address book and the iPhone, roaming
capabilities of AirPort connections on Intel-based Macs, an encryption
alert
that appeared in the chat window of iChat, and improvements to gaming
performance.
It is also supposed to prevent Mail from quitting, fix an issue that
allows
junk mail to remain in the inbox, and improve MobileMe synching time. The
update also addresses an issue that prevents parentally-controlled
accounts
from accessing the iTunes Store, and improves compatibility with Web proxy
servers in Safari.
Many users, however, are reporting on the Apple forums that after the
initial installation, their Macs remain frozen on "configuring setup."
Others who have made it through the installation process found that their
devices no longer recognize the mouse, sync with Bluetooth, open Suitcase
Version 2, or connect to the AirPort wireless network, among other issues.
"Post 10.5.6 I get a loud pop during the very end of the grey startup
screen
or right after the time verbose mode goes to a blue screen," one user
wrote
on the Apple forums.
"The latest version of Leopard (10.5.6) downloaded automatically via
Software Update," wrote another user known as Davald. "However, when I
attempted to install, the process hangs on 'configuring setup.'"
After 15 minutes, Davald did a forced restart, which returned his MacBook
Pro to 10.5.5.
Another user found that after he typed his password, the screen went blue,
and then returned him to the login screen.
Some people found workarounds, like installing the regular update instead
of
the combo update from the Apple download page or removing update files,
but
there does not seem to be one solution that works for all users. Some
users
are having no issues with the update at all.
Some lashed out at Apple. "This is why I decided to cross-over to 'The
Darkside' and purchase a Dell," wrote someone who identified himself as
Gabriel Cobos1. "Once upon a time, nothing was better than an Apple. Then
I
bought a new [MacBook Pro]... actually two of them, and all of them died,
trying to do what I do with simple ease with my homebuilt PC's."
