Mac OS X 10.5.6 Now Available

For Mac OS X Leopard owners, Apple has released a new update 10.5.6. Wonder what's new in this update? See below or check the Apple Support Page.

Important Fixes Done:
  •  Address Book - reliability syncing with iPhone and other devices and applications.

  • Client management - fixes an issue in Mac OS X 10.5.4 and 10.5.5 in which managed users may not see printers that use the Generic PPD.
  • iChat - addresses an issue that could cause an encryption alert to appear in the chat window; setting your iChat status to "invisible" via AppleScript no longer logs you out of iChat; resolves an issue in which pasting text from a Microsoft Office document could insert an image rather than text. 
  • Graphics - fixes for possible graphics distortion issues with certain ATI graphics cards. 
  • Mail - fixes an issue that could cause messages identified as junk to remain in the inbox, or cause Mail to append a character to the file extension of an attachment.
  • Networking - improves Apple File Service performance, especially when using a home directory hosted on an AFP server.
  • Time Machine - fixes issues that could cause Time Machine to state the backup volume could not be found.
