Anyone have a successful 10.5.2 Update?

Just wondering if anyone has had a successful 10.5.2 Update? I have been reading nothing but stories of freezing and other issues, until I hear from people that have not had any issues I will be waiting to install this update. Please tell your success stories!

All of my installs have gone well. Aside from all of my Mac Pros with multiple graphic cards. (translucent menu bar option is not available. I've sent a bug report about this. This only affects machines with multiple graphic cards.)
Ted Harper is right. This is the emergency room. The best consensus practice is to 1. Backup everything to an external hard drive. 2. Repair the disk you intend to install on. 3. Repair permissions on the volume you intend to install on. 4. Install non-system related software via Software Update. 5. Install the System Updates by downloading the dmgs directly from apple's site. 6. Repair permissions after a successful install has rebooted.
This process has worked for me on 3 Mac Pros, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 Intel Minis, 1 G4 mini, 1 Dual G5 tower. A circa 1999 G4 with a processor upgrade. and a TiBook. I don't have any issues except for the Mac Pro, which won't affect 95% of the users out there.
It has been well worth it for me. (diagnosing problems has been kinda fun though. )

  • Anyone have a successful refund/exchange?  Am I likely to get one?

    Hello everyone. I recently got my iPod and am still figuring everything out. Last night I bought five songs that I thought were from a certain soundtrack. After purchasing I realized that they were not from the soundtrack, and I do not want the version of the songs that I got. After rechecking, I find that iTunes does not even offer the soundtrack that I wanted so I cannot exchange the songs for the right version. One song was very poor quality as well. In the short time that I have had my iPod I have made many, many iTunes purchases and have never been disappointed until now. This is my first time reporting a purchase problem and I am curious if anyone else has had any success getting a full or partial refund for an inadvertent purchase?
    I paid $4.95 total for the songs. I would like to get at least half of my money refunded ($2.48). Is this reasonable or likely? I reported three of the songs last night but I had to get offline so I reported the other two this morning. I only listened to each of the songs once and have not downloaded them onto my iPod or a disc if that counts for anything. I know that the policy is “once you purchase a song it is your problem” but I really hope that this all gets worked out. So far I have not been able to find anyone who has successfully received a refund. Thank you for your time and assistance.

    UPDATE: I never received any sort of response from the three reports I sent last night. I did, however, receive responses from tonight's two reports. The first, I got a credit for one song. The second, I was told I could not have a refund and they explained how to avoid inadvertently purchasing songs in the future. I am still waiting for a response concerning the e-mail I sent the iTunes team, but I am going to go out on a limb here and say that they will probably not refund the rest of my money. I can't really complain, though, as it was my fault, and I am greatly appreciative for the one song credit that I did receive.

  • Anyone have advice on installing the recent update to Itunes on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC?  I can download it, but can't run it.  I have already uninstalled the prior version.  Thanks.

    Anyone have advice on how to install the recent Itunes update on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC?  I've downloaded the update, uninstalled the prior version, but no luck.  Thanks.

    I'm guessing - if you've uninstalled the previous version, then surely there's nothing left to "update", is there?
    Can you undo the "uninstallation" procedure? If not, you will have to download iTunes again and install it as a new installation.

  • Anyone have any success connecting a generic PS3 controller through Mavericks on my macbook pro

    Hi
    I am able to connect the above controllers and play supported games via USB connection. However, bluetooth does not seemingly support these devices of which I have 2.
    I have followed connection guidance for earlier versions of OSX and connect via USB to recognise the device and then remove the usb cable, press the PS button and the device is prompted to pair via bluetooth. I am using a password of "0000" to pair and key this in to my macbook but then nothing happens. The device is shown as not connected, nor paired and the "connect" option has no effect.
    In system information this is what presents under bluuetooth device is configured but neither paired nor connected

    Anybody have any success with such a bluetooth connection .....so much better without cables after all ?
    I did read one forum post indicating that one user had cloned a working PS3 controller and copying and pasting configuration data in terminal. As I don't currently have a controller that will pair that's a step too far for me.
    Thanks in anticipation

  • Does anyone have ANY idea when the next update is going to happen?

    I'm editing a wedding video now and am waiting for the new updates (especially the functionality between Speedgrade and PP) to drop. I had heard a few weeks back that they were going to happen 10/15 but that date came and went. Then at the Create Now tour they said "in the next few days", but that was nearly a week ago. Does ANYONE have the scoop on this? I'm chomping at the bit....

    Due to Adobe being a publically-traded company, where mis-information or disappointments from missed expectations can affect their market cap, non-disclosure-agreements of employees and contractors would prevent divulging of such information in a public forum.

  • Does anyone have a success story to share about using Photoshop CC and Printing with HP EVNY Printer

    I having huge probems with color management.  HP does not make an ICC Profile for this printer and the color match is terribile - does anyone have a configuration for color management that works with the HP ENVY 5530E printer.

    I feel your pain, but I don't know the solution, sorry. Our Mac guru who primarily serves designers is not upgrading any of his clients to Mavericks so far, due to printing (and other) issues. Se we're still on 10.8.4 here.

  • After last Moutain Lion update, suddenly and sporadically I cannot move my files using my mouse.  I only get a "ghost" image.  Moving items to the trash is, of course no problem.  Does anyone have a solution?  I've updated my permissions...no go!

    Cannot move icon files using my mouse or cursor after installing Mountion Lion's last update.  After rebooting several times, this sometimes fixes the problem.  I've tried checking and updating my permissions, but this hasn't worked.  What's happening?  I haven't backed up so I can't go back to Lion.  Has this happened to anyone else?  What can I try?  Thanks!

    Try this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Now download and install OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo).

  • AppleCare off of eBay? Anyone have any success with this?

    I am looking into purchasing AppleCare for my 4 month old Macbook Pro. I am a student so I can get it for $249, but I have seen on eBay where it will sometimes go for less than that. Has anyone purchased AppleCare off of eBay before? If so, how was your experience with it?

    To follow up on Traildawg, you can get a feel for the merchants on e-Bay, mostly from the feedback. You can get some good deals if you are careful and read the ads. You can get an intuative feeling on what is more risky and what is not. About the Applecare I ordered, I felt that if I registered it immediately, as I did, and if Apple accepted the registration, which they did, then later on, down the pike, if they (Apple) tried to back out on it, I would have a good argument in small claims court, I could assert that they are estopped from not honoring the deal.
    I, too, would never buy a computer from them, you know it's abused. I once, for the **** of it, bought a Tangerine Clamshell knowing I was taking a chance, and sure 'nuf. I don't really know if the computer was bad or whether it was that I changed memory, hard drive, and my 10 thumbs just failed me.
    Don't get caught up in the passions of the moment be willing to walk away!
    Ebay also has a reputation to protect.

  • Anyone have a link for the prior update before 1-10-2006?

    Woke up this morning to find my iPod acting somewhat normal (i.e. wasn't frozen with stupid icons on the screen, but showed the menus and all). Can someone link me to where i can get an older updater so i can try to end this problem once and for all? I don't know how it happened, but i wish i could tell everyone.

    It's in French, but easy to understand

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks and new Pages, I can't print. Anyone have a solution?

    Since I loaded Mavericks and new Pages, I get an unending spinning rainbow wheel when I try to print. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

    I just updated my print drivers. I changed my default printer away from our office Toshiba e-Studio 233 and I can print to my other printers. So, it seems to be a problem with the Toshiba printer...which does not have an updated driver. Hmm...

  • HT4946 I have just (successfully) updated my iphone 4 with the i0s but cannot get my apps back. They are on my itunes on the computer but cannot transfer back onto my phone, can anyone help please?

    I have just successfully updated my iphone 4 with the latest ios update but lost all my apps. I can find them on my itunes a/c but cannot get them to transfer back onto phone without downloading all again, what I am I missing?

    Is "Sync Apps" in the apps tab checked? If it is and they still won't sync, uncheck it then run a sync, then recheck it and run the sync again. If that doesn't help, on the phone itself, go to your app store, tap on updates, then go to purchased, and tap the cloud button next to them to redownload.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.
