Hello, I need to get to 10.5.5 without reformatting. I'm currently at 10.5.1 Kalyway.

 

My specs are:

Core2 E6750

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mother board

Seagate 7,200 500gig HD

4 x 1ghz Kingston HyperX RAM 1066

SIIG IEEE1394 3-port PCI Card Model NN-440012

I use on board sound.

All drives are SATA.

 

I have done searches and can't find any real specific step by steps. I'm pretty new to all of this.

Do you know of what Vanilla components you're running? It may be that you can just grab the 10.5.5 Combo Updater package from Apple; that lets you upgrade to 10.5.5 no matter what 10.5.* you're running. Whether you can do that easily depends on how vanilla your system is.

Time Machine, Carbon Copy Cloner, Super Duper!. All do a similar job. I've used Time Machine and restored from it, that was fine but doesn't restore every single little preference. The other two exactly copy your partition, so you can restore it exactly how it was. Choice is yours ;)

Ok, so I did the update per Mysticus's guide, re-patched the audio and everything works great....

 

 

...except my stupid iTunes doesn't display the cover art! It just says "iTunes cannot display cover art on this computer"

 

 

Anyone ever hear of this issue?

That's what it looks like.

 

What video card do you have..it's missing from your specs in the first post for some reason.

 

What were you using before? EFI strings or an injector?

 

Download and run Aquamac's installer for the macbook graphics update for 10.5.5:
