NEW: Latest Apple newsMac OS X 10.5 Leopard: first reviewLatest Apple Mac desktop reviewsLatest Apple Mac laptop reviews The update sees Apple respond to criticisms of the initial system. The company has updated Stacks with the addition of a List and Folder view option and the introduction of an updated background for Grid view. Users can also now turn off transparency in the menu bar using the Desktop and Screen Saver preferences. Menus have also been adjusted to be less translucent.
The update applies fixes to Active Directory, AirPort, Back To My Mac, Dashboard, Dock, the Desktop, iCal, iChat, iSync, Finder, Mail, Networking, Parental Controls, Preview, Printing, RAW Image, Safari, Login and Setup Assistant, System, Time Machine and more. AirPort connection reliability has been improved and certain kernel panics caused by use of the wireless standard have been resolved. Back to my Mac users can now use that feature through an extended list of third-party wireless routers.
Dashboard sees better performance from certain Apple widgets, while iCal’s handling of recurring or cancelled meetings has been improved. iSync now supports Samsung D600E and D900i phones. Mail’s Data Detectors are now more accurate, and the software now disabled the unsupported GrowlMail plug-in to “avoid issues”.
The update also adds a menu bar option for accessing Time Machine features (the menu extra can be enabled in Time Machine preferences) and addresses issues in which some external drives are not recognised by Time Machine.
