A Monday update to Apple's Leopard operating system is causing a host of problems for users, ranging from broken Bluetooth connections and no sound to large popping noises during boot-up and dead USB ports.

Mr. Anthony remember we are not allowed :eusa_naug to update our version of MAC so if you do....it will be BRICKED....completely as it was done by Hackintosh and as such we are not using a the real deal but Emulations in a sense.

Krems....If man BUILD IT....Man can CRASH it....Besides Apple has always been protected from viruses and hackers only because the OS was not quite as popular as Windows but more and more we are seeing Macs in businesses as well as for personal use so of course Programmers gonna invest sometime to sort them out just like Windows.

Agree or Disagree?

to make thing clear according to official reports the update does not cause the system to crash. it only cause problems for hardware recognition, like bluetooth connection, printer finding etc

It not only happenz on Mac OS but on Windows 2........ It happened 2 me the other day.... Had 2 format about 2 timez b4 I knew wat the problemz are. USB port not recognizin any device, Audio chips in and out and make funny noizez, Touchpad freezez and Win explorer gets less reponsive....... Audio card and USB Ports gave the most problemz but after formatin an runnin the system without updates an installin the original driverz the system wuz ok again.

They updated some kexts which really screwed some people. I simply restored the ones I needed to fix my problems from my time machine backup.
