I have had some crashes here lately, 3 today accutally which is what has me on here searching. I had Firefox crash 1st after an update so I didnt think anything of that, then photoshop crashed once, then mail crashed. I had this happen a few weeks ago and found I needed to update linotype font explorer but now its doing the same thing. I thought 5.10.2 was going to fix these bugs. I wonder if linotype is still the culprit. arg!!! Im not sure if I like Leopard.

Since I’m using Logic Pro 8 for recording music, I’ve been following the logic forums online. People there seem to have had major problems after updating. There are storys of the spinning beachball for five minutes when loading Logic, loss of performance etc.. People are very angry, calling this update a complete failure. Some people had no problems at all. it’s strange. The mere risk of having these problems makes me think it’s better to wait for the next update. I just wish apple would communicate more with the users, letting us know what’s going on, and perhaps give us some reassurance whether the issues are being solved, and WHEN.

Recently updated to 10.5.2 on my MacBook. Everything turns out fine initially, until my Photoshop CS3 crashes suddenly – and for a good number of times.
Never happens before, and have been using my CS2/CS3 on my six months old
MacBook with a breeze. But the worst is yet to come – now it also crashes
when I am using Mail (maybe once) & Illustrator CS3; although not as frequent.
Frustrating, especially when you don’t SAVE at regular intervals. Has anyone encounter such problem? Please help.

After installing 10.5.2, my Finder didn’t fully load, so I spent hours on the phone with Apple trying to fix the problem, finally had to reinstall the original Leopard and ran into the same problem when I upgraded to 10.5.2. After hours of reloading, etc., I am still having weird problems (in Facebook’s Scrabulous the fonts are illegible, my Mail Preferences only show Rules, and Application fonts in Fusion no longer open automatically) now even though I am sticking with 10.5.1 until I’m SURE I won’t run into these problems again. I wish I had never “upgraded” it’s been such a disaster. I can’t believe no one else has run into this.

No problems here on Intel Core Duo iMac. Actually, it’s kinda funny– many “critics” think Apple rushed the initial release of 10.5, and took too long/did NOT rush this update enough– Go figure!. lol… I haven’t had the “wake from sleep” issue, and Im crossing my fingers that I won’t!

I used 10.5.2 for a few days and then went back to 10.5.1. Both of my iMac’s wouldn’t wake from sleep without doing a complete shutdown and restart first. It got kind of annoying so I restored 10.5.1 and haven’t had any problems. Sometimes Apple seems to rush updates towards the end without completely evaluating everything, 10.5.2 seems like it was rushed at the end.

before downloading 10.5.2, no that several people are having problems with there their wireless after installing the update. Since installing I am not able to get online on a variety of different routers. I am not alone in this problem, check out the discussions relating to this on the apple site.

The most important benefits to this update are those I can’t see, especially those relating to security and heightened compatibility with programs I don’t use.

Although this is just a nit, Apple has still failed to address the insane, quiet popping sound many users of MacBook Pro/10.5.x hear about every 20-30 seconds as they work — an identical bug to the one detected in 10.4.1 and remedied with a software update.

After initial installation of the update, my system ran up to 20% more slowly on most apps., but with continued use, my system has recovered its speed.
