Battlefield 2142 plaing SLOW after latest Leopard graphics update

I love using my MacBook Pro to play Battlefield 2142... but ever since I updated the software (which included a Leopard graphics update) the graphics are choppy, the play is stalling and generally slow.
What gives? It was working great before the update!?

I had the same problem with 5.3 and went back to 5.2 in order to play vid games. I saw 5.4 and thought befor I tried it Id call apple tech support to see what the deal is. I didnt get a straight answer. I am going to wait on the game manufactures to see if an update is planned. other wise I may have to get a microsoft dedicated machine for all my vid games. and it doesnt make sence to have to purchase 2 laptops.

MetaX is suddenly Failing after Snow Leopard Graphics Update?

Is anyone else experiencing any problems with MetaX (http://www.kerstetter.net/index.php/projects/software/metax) causing movies in iTunes to no longer play? I have been using that software extensively previously but since installing the last few updates (Snow Leopard Graphics Update?) everytime I use MetaX to set the tags on my video files it causes them to display a black screen with no audio.

Thanks amop. I was having the same problem intermitently and this worked a treat.
Cheers....

Problems After Snow Leopard Graphics Update 1.0

Hi Mac Users,
I recognised some problems with graphic on Mc OS X 10.6.4 after software update SL Graphics Update 1.0 for example:
- expose extra blue square for window of the application,
- iPhoto photo preview frame became transparent grey and it comes above not only iPhoto windows but all behind,
- problems with Safari
- problems with expose with all window of one application
- others.
To fix it go please to website appletoolbox.com (topic as subject of this thread) or simple search for it by the subject of this thread in web search engine like Google for example.
Simply try:
Reset SMS - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Also instructions and link on mention website.
or
Safe Boot of Mac OS X - press and hold Shift button after turning on Mac.
Good luck and hopefully Apple will not make more extra problematic updates for us Users
PS. I check that there is no problem on MacBook Pro 2008 edition with this update.
MacJU

mine isnt going nuts but the display wont come back on after waking from sleep (each time and has been replicable since update installed). so i turned it off from sleeping (the computer) but the display sleeps and that also wont come back on when moving the mouse or pressing any keys. only way to get screen back up is performing a cold boot which kinda *****.
ive tried clearing pram but that didnt help. im not sure whats in the graphics update but the next time i reinstall os, i might just skip this update because its causing me more issues than it supposedly solves (im not a big gamer anyway)
this occurs on a mbp 7,1 (13" early 2010). i have not seen or heard it happen on a mbp 5,4 nor have i tried it on my mbp 6,2 (15" early 2010), but even then the screen on my mbp 6,2 has been going nuts before the update (im guessing a faulty card?) but i use my mbp 7,1 for main development work.
i hope apple solves this issue soon

Display problems after installing 10.5.2 and the leopard graphics update

Shortly after installing the leopard graphics update, my display started exhibiting problems.
The next day, the powerbook wouldn't even boot, just leaving me at a blue screen.
I tried verifying permissions and verifying disk, reinstalling leopard and eventually did a fresh install of Tiger, which boots, but crashes frequently and has graphics corruption as visible in this screenshot:
http://pics.livejournal.com/dorukai/pic/000fw0hw
The same corruption is visible on a second monitor if I connect one.
The timing (being right after installing the graphics update) suggests that the update somehow caused this problem (flashing the video card firmware maybe?) but any ideas at all are very welcome at this point!
Unfortunately after installing Tiger I kept getting updates, and one has broken the ability to boot normally, I can only boot in safe mode

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

Leopard graphic update

I downloaded and installed the recommended Leopard graphic update, and now certain type on websites appears blurry. I've had this problem before, but fixed it by changing the font smoothing style and text sharpening, however, now no matter what changes I make, the problem persists. Is there anything else I can do? For all intents and purposes major sites like CNN's breaking news banner reads like I'm wearing coke-bottle glasses, and working with larger non-standard type in Pages is giving me a headache. Any advice welcome.

It's actually what I do all the times. When I say that I start in 'closed lid' mode I intend that I open the lid to press the start button and immediately close the lid. In this particular case the Apple Cinema Display remains inactive and after a short while the apple on the lid of my Macbook Pro turns lit and when I open the screen has a black multi language alert which advise me to restart my machine by pressing the start button. After I restart the my Mac in 'open lid' mode and after I log in, appears a message that tells me that the system was restarted after crash and here comes the detailed error that follows:

I hope that Apple will fix this issue as soon as possible.
There is one more thing: as I told before, I thought that the culprit was the graphic update 1,0 but today I have the same problem without it.
Help needed! Thank you.

Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking fro

Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking from sleep. Is anyone else seeing this?

I am having the same problem with the screen not waking up after it goes to sleep. Once I was able to recover with pressing the power button just long enough to wake it but not restart. The other two times I had to power down and restart -- I also got the jagged screen graphics once.
I have been experiencing this since I installed the 10.5.3 update. It seems to be ok if I put the computer to sleep using 'Sleep' on the Apple menu, but if my screen saver comes on and it goes to sleep on its own, then I have problems waking it.
Frustrating - I don't like to power down and restart my iMac if I can avoid it.

10.5.2 update and Leopard Graphics update = no sleep mode

All, After updating my MacBook Pro to 10.5.2 and the Leopard Graphics update, my computer will not longer enter sleep mode after a specified time. I can manually set the computer to sleep mode, but it will not automatically go to sleep mode. I have tried resetting the System Management Control Center VIA http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 and everything else in that doc.
Any suggestions?
TIA Jon

Call AppleCare and see if they can help.
Regular trouble shooting
1) Create a new account, name it test or something
2) log into that account to see if the behavior changes
3) If it does, then there is some problem in your own account.
4) If it doesn't, restart.
5) If the behavior still doesn't change, there is some system configuration error
In this case
6) Open Disk Utility. Verify your disk, then repair permissions (not likely to fix the problem but will at least eliminate that possibilty)
7) Get a copy of Leopard Cache Cleaner and do a MODERATE cache cleaning
8) Restart
If still not fixed, reset PRAM and the SMU. Look on the Apple web site for instructions for your particular computer.
If still not different, do an Archive and Install. However go to the Apple web site and download the 10.5.2 Combo updater first. After you Archive and Install from either the disk that came with your computer (assuming that it is Leopard) or the retail Leopard installer. Then run the combo updater. Then run Software Update.
These problems are disturbing and really shouldn't happen, but they do. However, they can be fixed and you'll find that Mac OS is, overall, much better than the alternatives.
BTW, I just went through this whole mess for crashes on wake from sleep (USB issues) and failure to sleep (printer driver issue). Another computer had DHCP problems and actually needed a reinstall. However both of them are working fine now even though it was a pain getting there.

Snow Leopard Graphics Update question...

How do you know if you have the Snow Leopard Graphics Update is installed on your Mac? Can one check in system profiler? Is that I went from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4 via software update, and then when I ran Software Update in 10.6.4, it only showed the Mac OS X 10.6.5 Update rather than the Snow Leopard Graphics Update and the security update as supposed to, I was hoping that when I installed the OSX 10.6.5 update it also instlled the Snow Leopard Graphics update and all the Security Updates issued in 10.6.4 run.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

It did.

Leopard Graphics Update

Has anyone noticed an improvement in gaming on the Santa Rosa Macbook? Specifically, I was wondering if frame rates on WOW have improved.

Trying to install the Leopard Graphics Update (via Software Update).
When I do, it gives me the following error:
The update "Leopard Graphics Update" can't be saved
You do not have the appropriate access privileges
The Installer package has been moved to the Trash
To try again, open the package from the Finder
I am the only user/administrator for this computer. It is not connected to a network, nor does it have any enabled sharing.
I just loaded up all the other updates from today (I think Garage Band, Keyboard Firmware, etc.) without problem or error message.
So here's my question: Is this update worth the aggravation of trying to figure out how to install it? If it is, what steps should I take to get it onto my system?
It's worth fixing only because it is a symptom of something else that is wrong. It's little things like this that should not be ignored because they may portend a larger issue.
I would first run DU and check the HD and also permissions verify/repair, if necessary.
You should also create another user account temporarily, with full admin privileges and see if you can install the Update via that user. If you can, then there is something wrong with your present admin account that must be fixed.
If not, then you have to proceed further, looking at the system logs, console, etc., for what it causing the problem.
It's important in keeping an OS running perfectly, never to go past an issue without resolving it.
This is often why upgrades or updates fail in the first place.
Thanks!

Snow Leopard Graphics Update refuses to Install

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4
And the Snow Leopard Graphics Update won't install, and reports:
"Snow Leopard Graphics Update can't be installed on this disk. This update requires Mac OS X 10.6.4."
So far I've tried...rebooting and disk verify, and would welcome any other suggestions.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the Snow Leopard Graphics Update was released before your 2010 Mac Pro was released so chance are very good that the Graphics Update is already incorporated in the Snow Leopard version you have on the Mac Pro.
Plus the 2010 Mac Pros are not mentioned in the "Products Affected" list of the Graphics Update http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4286
So, in short you don't need this update.
Regards
Stefan

My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
Thanks in adavnce for help.

Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

Leopard Graphics Update won't install

Software Update updated my PowerMac (dual 1.8 G5) to 10.5.2, then I got the alert for iLife 08 and Leopard Graphics Update. The latter install has failed twice with the following message:
*The update "Leopard Graphics Update" can't be installed*
The installer could not validate the contents of the 'LeopardGraphicsUpdate1.0' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
OK, Apple, ***?

Manually download the update and give it another go.
