Week In Apple: Software Updates, Jailbroken IPhone Worms, And VESA
Mac users got some love from Apple this week in the form of an update to Snow Leopard, as well as one for Safari. But it’s not all good news for Apple fans–hackers are out to get jailbroken iPhone users and those running Atom-based hackintoshes will be stuck on Mac OS X 10.6.1. Read on to get the low-down.
Mac OS X 10.6.2 out now along with Leopard security update: Come and get your Snow Leopard update to 10.6.2! If you’re still on Leopard, though, security fixes are available as well.
Truly malicious iPhone malware now out in the wild: While previous “attacks” on jailbroken iPhones were benign, a variation of the same attack quietly extracts personal data from an infected device. Please, folks, change your default passwords.
iLife ‘09 gets the Software Update treatment
Filed under: iLife, Software Update
Apple just released some updates for iLife ‘09 via Software Update. In a very un-Apple fashion, the release notes are actually sort of descriptive!
Here’s the breakdown:
- iLife Support — this is for iLife ‘09, iWork ‘09 and Aperture 2 users and it addresses some memory leaks, custom folder issues with Media Browser and maintaining the correct image date when importing from iPhoto to Aperture.
- iDVD gets an update to fix an issue where iDVD is unable to add a title/comment to an image. Recommended for all iDVD 7 users.
- iMovie now supports 720p AVCHD Lite cameras and camcorders and some other issues.
- iPhoto — some fixes to publishing to MobileMe, Flickr and Facebook, slideshow playback and location GPS in emailed and exported JPEGs See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3532
- Digital Camera RAW update — RAW support for iPhoto ‘08, iPhoto ‘09 and Aperture 2 for various Canon, Nikon and Olympus cameras.
This all looks like good stuff. I’m off to install/restart. Head to Software Update on your computer or hit up Apple Downloads to get the individual installers.

iTunes 8.2 in Software Update, supports iPhone 3.0; QuickTime & GarageBand also patched
Filed under: iTunes, Software Update, iPhone, iPod touch
iTunes 8.2 just became available in Software Update. According to the update notes, “iTunes 8.2 now supports iPhone or iPod touch with the iPhone 3.0 Software Update. iTunes 8.2 also includes many accessibility improvements and bug fixes.” The update weighs in at 79.3 MB.
QuickTime 7.6.2 and GarageBand Update 5.0.2 also became available at the same time. In keeping with Apple’s policy of full disclosure, there’s not much information for users about what’s in either of the updates, although subscribers to Apple’s security notification list got an email with a list of 10 fixed vulnerabilities in the QT update (soon to be posted at Apple’s security site and reproduced in the second half of this post).
The GarageBand update “addresses general compatibility issues, improves overall stability, and fixes a number of other minor issues [including] Improved purchasing experience for Artist Lessons in the GarageBand Lesson Store [&] Accessing installed Jam Packs in the loop browser.” The update is required if you are purchasing lessons from the Lesson Store.
The iTunes update is one more clear sign that iPhone 3.0 is just around the corner. Be sure to stay tuned to our coverage of the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference next week for all your iPhone news!

Troubleshooting Roundup: Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update
Filed under: OS, Troubleshooting
While Jason D. O’Grady considers anything more than ordinatrix inflagrante to be success when he’s installing a new operating system, he and others are still reporting on the various and sundry issues that have cropped up since Tuesday’s 10.5.7 update:
-
I can’t find my brain: Some users are reporting that their Buffalo (among other) external disks aren’t mounting after installing the update. Solution: Nothing concrete, though many people are suggesting installing the combo update you can download from Apple’s site, rather than using Software Update. You can participate in Apple’s Support Discussion on the topic if you share this problem. [via MacNN.]
-
Blue screen of death: No joke: since the update restarts your computer up to three times, some users are getting hung up on the first blue screen that appears after the gray Apple logo screen. Solution: Wait until disk activity stops, then shut down the computer hard by holding down the power button. [via PowerPage.]
-
I was blind, but now I see: The update is causing some video cards to output non-native display resolutions. Instead of outputting 1920 x 1200, instead Mac OS X will try and output 1920 x 1080 (which works fine for HDMI, but not many widescreen displays). Solution: An oldie-but-goodie: Zap the PRAM by holding down command + option + P + R at startup until the computer restarts a few times, then letting go. [also via PowerPage.]
-
Cold fusion: VMWare is suggesting people hold off on updating if their configuration includes an ATI graphics card and they use Fusion to run 3D Windows apps. (2D apps are just fine.) Slow and poor rendering and general crashiness are symptoms of the problem. Solution: None yet. Apple and ATI are working on an update. [via MacNN.]

Mac OS 10.5.7 update now available
Apple just dropped 10.5.7 on us (a little late by some guesses), via Software Update (you can get to it under the Apple menu). Here’s the blurb:
The 10.5.7 Update is recommended for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac. For detailed information about security updates, please visit this website.
I notice a lot of sync-related “reliability” fixes here, some nice additions to the parental controls, a Gmail login fix, and widget updates (yeah, some people use those). Full details here. Enjoy!

Aperture, iMovie, Server Admin Tools updates available
Filed under: iLife, Software, Software Update
Yesterday Apple pushed out three updates via Software Update. According to Apple, iMovie 8.0.2 “…fixes an issue with projects having a size of 0 KB.” That’s a problem all right.
Aperture 2.1.3 is also available now and “…addresses minor issues in a number of areas, including the display of thumbnails on import and image rotation.”
Finally, Apple has also pushed out Server Admin Tools 10.5.6v1.1 which is required to administer Mac OS X Server version 10.5.6 from a remote Mac client. These updates weigh in at 24.1MB, 48.11MB and 92.7MB respectively. The interesting thing here is that Apple was actually a bit forthcoming with exactly what these updates address. Not totally, mind you, but better than the “bug fixes” we usually get.
