Mac OS X 10.5.4 has been released by Apple and is available through Software Update. The Delta Update weighs in at about 59MB. The update appears to be mostly a bug fixing release. MobileMe support is not mentioned in the documentation. 10.5.4 is safe if you have a vanilla install, be sure to back up kexts however.


Here is a list of the main fixes in the release:

-Includes recent Apple security updates.
-Resolves an issue with saving and reopening Adobe Creative Suite 3 files on a remote server.
-Includes additional RAW image support for several cameras.
-Addresses an issue that may result in a partially installed X11 application.
-Improves L2TP VPN client reliability.
-Addresses AirPort reliability issues with 5GHz networks.
-Addresses AirPort issues that may result in slower performance in Logic Studio or MainStage.
-Addresses a potential performance issue when loading secure web pages.
-Resolves issues that may be encountered when accessing secure web pages with client certificates that reside on a smart card.
-Addresses an issue in which switching from a space with a Finder window keeps the Finder as the active application instead of the application residing in the destination space.
-Fixes an issue in which dragging an application from the list of application assignments in Spaces System
-Preferences does not assign the application to the desired space.
-Resolves an Exposé issue that may result in only a subset of windows being shown.

Update Info

No! Not again! I was just done setting my computer after totally useless 10.5.3 update. That's a horrible news, Numberzz
Thanks anyway.

And the update cycle begins again... thanks for the FYI numberzz

Update shows as 88MB from the http download: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054update.html

Work hack runs fine (dell optiplex 755) with apple updater. Now on new kernel.

that was quick. didn't think it would be released for a while

wow already?
just me or anyone find this useless too?

Downloading...

Yep cabron, useless...
I've using a 5.4 update from the Bay, or Demon, i can't remember, for a while..., Build 9E6.
If possible, someone confirm the build version, plz.

PS: Probally a diferent Build, this one have a new kernel, the one that in using here, don't have...
Let's see what happen here....

Damn.. it I just upgraded to 10.5.3 with gr8 effort (as I'm on AMD).. Now would you guys tell me is it safe to upgrade to 10.5.4 with the AMD update software?

Installed on a system with 10.5.3....my USB wireless card was not recognized (working before). SO MY PIECE OF ADVICE...WAIT

I wouldnt upgrade since u have a AMD CPU and they cant use a vanilla kernel, oh and look at that mine is already done lol.

Guide to Update to 10.5.4 from your Hackintosh ( Combo Update Only). ( source from http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67890 its the same as 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 )

Download 10.5.4 do not use software update unless you have 10.5.3 installed and your computer is vanilla compatible
Quote:
Open Terminal

sudo -s

*type password*

while sleep 1; do rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext; done

Open 10.5.4 Update Installer

Run update BUT DO NOT RESTART

Go back to your terminal and press Control C to end the script

In terminal type:

nano /System/InstallAtStartup/scripts/1

Replace the line Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext with dsmos.kext

if you running vanilla kernel then just reboot without changing the kernel but if your running a hacked kernel you will need to install a different kernel BEFORE restarting because the install will just set vanilla as default i used kalyway 10.5.3 kernel and it worked just fine had to replace a few of kexts i.e. sound and applsmbios.kext

Restart and boot with -v


remember to back up kext's and replace them if needed in 10.5.4

if any of you have problems with graphics and you use nvinject.kext then let me know because i have a solution as you can see from the attached picture

It comes through as 59 megs if you get it through Software Update. Wonder why there's a discrepancy... weird.




The build number is 9E17, so it's a bit later than that. Prolly a new kernel.

I think this update is the easiest, (not the combo of course).

The Delta do not need anything special, if you have PC EFI or chameleon and running vanilla kernel of course.

Now thats just taking the p**s...

I just did a fresh install/update on saturday! :/

This can wait to be honest...

Can't be that important...

Worked for me i actually have 10.5.4 server

YES!! They got rid of the keep Finder in focus thing when switching from an empty space.

Just updated AMD to 10.5.4 with the ASU. Boots up after first reboot and video acceleration is not affected unlike 10.5.3.

the 9.4 kernel finally solved the black screen delay @ boot here on my Toshi which has been occurring with the 10.5.3 Vanilla kernel (but not with other kernels)

Hi,


I thought that it will just work with a simple "Software Update" with Vanilla Kernel?  Should I still do these steps?

Thanks!

*confused*

EDIT: One more question (Probably stupid). Let's say I reformatted my Hack using the old Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD installer. Can I just update it to 10.5.4 right away OR should I do 10.5.3 first before going 10.5.4? I ask because of the file-size differences. Standalone update installers of the previous version realeases are way bigger than this 88mb update. I know for a fact that I can update 10.5.1 to 10.5.3 directly.

I have the vanilla kernel and all went good with the normal software update. And of course I immediately did a time machine backup before and after (just in case).

One important side note...if you have a vista partition......this will kill the boot. You need to boot from the install dvd for vista and perform a repair installation (takes less than a min) and then you are golden.

I'm still a noob at this stuff even though I've got a fully functional hackintosh. What program do I use to backup my kext files? Also, I'd like to avoid having to reinstall bronya's drivers and displayconfigx. If I use this upgrade, what are the chances I lose bronya's drivers?

crap need to upgrade my signature lol downloading now thru software update.

Edit: Working Fine Here with vanilla kernel, strange i didnt have to backup my wireless kext.

Installed via software update. Working fine here...

Same here, installed by downloading the Combo update from apple - working perfect.

System hung at MACH REBOOT, i just reset the system manually and i'm running.

Ahhhh yes! Software update worked. It kept my Grub intact. Kept my AHCI kexts still working (all AHCI ports working in my p35-ds3l). SMBIOS/HDA/ALC are all cool.

I asked earlier if you can update directly from 10.5.1 to 10.5.4 with some confusing file sizes. I just found out that there are

Mac OS X 10.5.4 Combo Update (561MB):
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/mac...mboupdate.html

Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update (88MB):
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054update.html

*Posted by weekender in a different thread.

that probably answered my question

But still ..... would it be possible? 10.5.1 to 10.5.4 (using COMBO update) without the netkas method .. keep us posted if you've tried it

Installed through software update and all is gooood

Installed without vanilla kernel with downloaded update (88 Mb) and works perfect!

I only replaced 9.4.0 vanilla kernel with 9.4.0 modbin patched kernel before restart and it works perfect.

I'm still on 5.2.....

worked great through software update.

Aries326 I updated my Hackintosh which uses ATi1950 Pro and Bronya's 10.5.3 drivers - I used Software update and all went fine I don't know about displayconfigx I don't use that!

This is great! Gotta love updates

Hell yeah,it's pretty sexy amantheboy what you make at your screenshots. These are look like the documents the White House censored about his internal notices. I'm kidding you

I give a try, this time only

haha thanks and keep that on the down low. No major performances spotted, kinda useless, this is how all updates should be no need for that script.

installed via software update, working fine here

Installed via software update and working fine here uptil now.

Still on 10.5.2. It works great, why would I update?

P5K-E wifi
Core2Quad Q6700 @ 3GHz
4GB RAM
750GB HDD
MSI Nvidia GeForce 8800GT

lol i just got mine up to 10.5.3. Doesnt seem like it does a lot so im just gonna chill for a while.

sigh...

another update comes and goes, and my vista pc still doesn't show up in the finder sidebar of my macbook.

updated using the scripts from page 1. I didn't have a start up script to edit through. >Shrug< Seems a bit snappier but my cores are running 3 - 5 degrees warmer.

Also, After the update Time Machine backs up 512 mb. Seems like alot for a 88 mb update.

Wrks as simply software update in all my 3 hacks where is installed PC-EFI/Chameleon and Vanilla Kernel.

Dammn i had to update also the signature

Works like a charm here. Downloaded from Apple and executing the pkg, without other cautions. Modified Saft with a new Safari internal version "5525.20.1". All is OK. Thanks guys for the infos.
I mention I have PC-EFi and Vanilla kernel.

This is why I love my new laptop...

installed here and woking perfectly.

Just finished mine few hours ago, and its performing faster than before. 10.5.4 ROCKS

Hi all.

Downloaded and ran the 10.5.4 delta with no precautions and all is well - audio, video, 'About this Mac', LAN, etc. Well, when I say no precautions, I made a disc image prior to the update, but thankfully it wasn't needed.

Same here. Installed directly from Software Update into Kalyway 10.5.3. "Like buttah!"

Kernel Darwin 9.4.0
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
Q6600
GeForce 7300 GS
4GB Kingston 800 mhz
Seagate dedicated SATA for OSX
Raptor dedicated for XP

im currently on kalyway 10.5.2, went back from 10.5.3 due to it's buggy nature (orange hdd's, ahci unknown etc).
im thinking if i should use the combo update or just go 10.5.2 -> 10.5.3 (whilst fixing the bugs) -> 10.5.4.,
would i still be encountering the problems above if i go use the combo update?

Just tried this with out the netkas method and yeah....it didn't work, came up the the needing to reboot screen every time.
