Mac OS X Update 10.5.8. Thread starter Doctor X; Start date Aug 7, 2009 Doctor X Registered. Aug 7, 2009 #1 There is a new update.
Without warning (or clues that the release was so close), Apple has posted the eighth incremental update to its Leopard operating system – Mac OS X 10.5.8. The update, available in both Client and Server form, is free to download and install on Macs running any version of OS X 10.5 (Leopard and Leopard Server). As usual, the company has also released a separate Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update, as well as the 2009-003 Security Update for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Intel and PPC users.
“The 10.5.8 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,” Apple says. The new software update also addresses compatibility and reliability issues when joining AirPort networks, which could cause some monitor resolutions to no longer appear in Displays System Preferences, and issues that may affect Bluetooth reliability, the company reveals.
But this is just what the Mac OS X Software Updater shows, hence Apple links to a couple of Support articles for detailed information on the update, as well as on the security content of 10.5.8.

On its web site, Apple explains more thoroughly the contents of the update, and says that Mac OS X 10.5.8 also “includes Safari v4.0.2 and will upgrade your system to Safari v4.0.2.” On an even more detailed note, Apple reveals that Mac OS X 10.5.8 packs over a dozen important changes, which are listed as follows, in the Support section of its web site.
What's included in this update:- Upgrades Safari to version 4.0.2.- Improves the accuracy of full history search in Safari 4.- Resolves an issue in which certain resolutions might not appear in the Display pane in System Preferences.- Dragging an Aperture image into Automator now invokes an Aperture action instead of incorrectly invoking an iPhoto action.- Resolves an issue that could prevent importing of large photo and movie files from digital cameras.- Improves overall Bluetooth reliability with external devices, USB webcams and printers.- Addresses an issue that could cause extended startup times.- Improves iCal reliability with MobileMe Sync and CalDav.- Addresses data reliability issues with iDisk and MobileMe.- Improves overall reliability with AFP.- Improves overall reliability with Managed Client.- Improves compatibility and reliability for joining AirPort networks.- Improves Sync Service reliability.- Includes additional RAW image support for several third-party cameras.- Improves compatibility with some external USB hard drives.- Includes latest security fixes.
Since 10.5.8 includes Security Update 2009-003, Tiger users are strongly encouraged to download the package and proceed with the installation of the update.

If you have a computer or notebook running Mac OS X, then we need a special version of our emulation program specifically made for Mac OS X. I have managed to get WhatsApp working on a Mac, but my experience with Mac OS X is fairly limited. If you have any additions or corrections for this manual, feel free to leave a comment.
Benq usb ez display driver for mac. The program for installing WhatsApp on your Mac doesn’t need a lot of system resources. If you have a fairly recent (2009ish) Mac, then it should work.
We are going to install a program on your Mac that will make WhatsApp think it is being installed on a regular phone. This is called an Emulator.
We are going to use an Android emulator (I hear you think, but no, there is no way to do it in an iPhone emulator).
Android is a phone operating system made by Google. About 70% of the smartphones and tablets in the world run it.
The software we are going to use is the BlueStacks emulator. Unfortunately, BlueStacks stopped supporting the version of the program for Mac OS X, so we have to get it in another way. So if you have any problems with it, you’re in the dark. There might be alternative emulators for Mac though (comment below?).
Anyway! Let’s download BlueStacks. It isn’t available from their official site anymore, but we can still get it from alternative sites such as TechSpot or SoftTonic. Save the file to your computer. The sources I have mentioned here are 100% safe, and downloading BlueStacks is legal and free.
