Apple pushes out OS X 10.5.7 update
Sure it’s a tiny bit later than many expected but OS X users can now finally get their mitts on Apple’s 10.5.7 update for OS X. Just open your trusty old Software Update utility and go to town.
The 10.5.7 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

Highlights of this latest Leopard update include fixes to sync issues, widget updates, resolved issues with logging into Gmail, improved parental controls and improved video playback on newer Macs. So what are you waiting for?
Hallelujah!
I’m waiting for this to for realz…. Opening software update and I get the “your software is up to date”…… what gives B Gizzle?
Something is wrong with your macbook Champ, I’m downloading it right now as I type this..
Does not download.
Good to see Apple improving their stuff!
They have plenty of room for it, that is for sure.
Update went fine on my Macbook Pro
Now I await an OSX86 10.5.7 distro
I love how apple’s servers never seem to give a fuck. nevermind bandwidth!
I’m nervous of installing right now, but perhaps it will stop my CPU from being so hot on my 15″ MBP and stop all the random freezes/hard lockups/application hangs I’ve had.
I think it’s the NVidia 9630 card causing the problems. Anyone have more information? Cheers!
@brian, take it to a mac store, known issue. Will need a new logic board.
Thanks to Steve Jobs for the update, he has been busy

HO LY SHIT AN OS UPDATE!? NO WAY!
OS 10.5.7 has reduced resolutions in sys. pref. , no longer supports 1920×1200. Also you may lose all your stickies during up-date!
safari is all jacked up on mine now with this update.
anyone having problems with this update? it keeps telling me it cant be saved and its corrupt
DOWNLOAD WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL!
To download 10.5.7, I performed the software update automatically – it did not work. I then just did the download first and it did not work. I got the following message each time:
The update “Mac OS X update can’t be saved”
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”
I am currently running 10.5.6 and just so happened to download 10.5.7 at approximately 10:00PM EST on May 12, 2009 a mere 5 hours after it was released. Perhaps I need to wait until tomorrow when they wake up and realize that the digital signature is incorrect…… whoops!
my xp wont update what gives
I got the same “could not be saved error” and tried to restart my machine…now it will not boot up!
I got the same issue. Ran software update again and it installed fine. Sent apple an error email about safari and its fixed now. All is well and I cant tell a damn difference lol.
this is good news..did it and everything seems a bit betta. like it love feel tha power…lol great job
yea it said the same for mine. i have no idea why the update wont save.
After update, cannot send email through Optonline mail service (using Mail). All other settings, router, etc. are correct. Can receive mail, and can send mail through my iPhone, so everything else is OK. As yet unresolved. On phone with Apple now.
Actually caught a fault. I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard using the Leopard upgrade disk, not a full delete and install. Seems I had a header issue stemming from a permission error. I popped in an original Leopard disk to try to repair, got all sorts of errors. Seems you have to use the Leopard update disk to repair, good to know.
When Snow Leopard comes out I will do a full wipe and install. Actually that reminds me, I need to get a new larger hard drive for my mbp. Do they offer a 500GB sata yet?
