Leopard Update

12Feb08

Yesterday Apple released update 10.5.2 and other updated components for Leopard.

The update is huge, more than 341MB of download.

With this update Apple fixes a big number of bug and introduces some new features. Mail, Finder, Spaces, Time Machine, Airport… the list is very long, you can read the full description here.

The update process went on smoothly, my MacBookPro rebooted a couple of times and then all was finished. I can notice a speed improvement on the overall system responsiveness and many of the bugs of Leopard are gone (or so it seems).

All good then?

No, unfortunately not.

I was waiting for an update that would enable the use of  my external Lacie 500MB disk connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station to be used together with Time Machine. Before the update, fiddling on the terminal, I was able to use the external HD with time machine but the speed was awful sloooow… Now, after the update there is no way to use the HD… every time I start the backup process I get an error telling me that an error creating the disk image occurred.

I begin to suspect that uncle Steve is forcing us to buy its new toy… Time Capsule… but I’m a bit disappointed about that.
