Apple today released Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 Update and Mac OS X Server 10.5.1 Update which both include general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
Important: Read before installing

• It is recommended that you backup your system prior to installing any updates.
• If issues occur during installation–for example, Software Update quits unexpectedly–please see this article.

MacDailyNews Note: Apple released the first update to Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.1) on May 16, 2005, 17 days after Tiger’s April 29th release. Today’s first update for Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.1) arrived 20 days after its October 26th release.
So far, so good. No issues with 10.5.1. I hope that it continues to work well, and solved some of the strange issues that I was having.
SNAPPY Bitches!
SNAPPY!!!!!!!!!
My life is snappier now.
MDN user comments are snappier after this update – oh, wait…
Did anyone else notice a faster system when loaded on a Dell XPS running windows vista?
Anyone have issues with Front Row crapping out when showing movies on a TV? Before the update I mean, not after.
Please God, er, uh, I mean, Steve, let my networking problems disappear!
Yep. Thats just what the doctor ordered. I was wondering if Apple was going to ignore this “slow down problem”. Guess they didn’t!
Did not fix the .Mac sync issues though!!! URGGGGGGG
LET’S HEAR IT FOR MDN REGISTRATION!!!
WOOT WOOT!!!
My comments are teh snappy!
@Macromancer
I have the same problem. Watching anything longer than a few minutes will cause Front Row to hang.
Damn it, I just wanted the 10.4.11 update, thats all. Then everything went wrong. Upon reboot I got the login screen, logged in, then a black screen with some of my cable info. No login available. So I looked for my Tiger disc, no where. Now I am running internet explorer to type this because safari 3 isn’t supported in panther……help me please, how can I revert back to safari 2?
Are there separate Intel and PPC installers?
Now if only we could get developers to make their wares Leopard compatible…
Ya HEAR me Adobe? What about Acrobat Pro 8?
Dude, you are in the wrong place for that kind of help. This is a news forum, not a Help Me Please forum
Repairing permissions now throws about 8 errors with SUID files being modified and cannot be repaired. After installing Leopard, I had 1. What gives?
Dud this has nothing to do with the 10.4.11 update. Go to Apple discussions.
I hope this fixes the friggin’ problem with Photoshop CS3 not showing the values correctly in the little boxes in the program… very annoying.
that’s been a problem in OS X since the beta at WWDC07.
Finally, registration! Please add Preview and Edit and I’d be all set.
Oh, and can you also get rid of that annoying mermaid and the Apple Store advertisement I could make better use of the Feedback box. At least move them into the far-right hand column.
I know that’s asking a lot but, take your time. I packed a lunch.
EDIT would be nice, but this is a good start. But a little part of me will miss The Spoof Wars.
My wife is happier after update!
Keep ’em coming.
I can’t wait to download this to see if my Mac gets snappier (I’m sure it already has).
Yes, but is it snappier (TM) ????
Thank you, MDN for registrations.
And nice work, Apple for a reasonably quick update.
Rob: your wife is snappier now!
