I read that 10.5.6 breaks DFU mode for iPhones and iPod touches? "if you place the iPhone in DFU mode (similar to a restore mode), your iPhone will be unrecognized by a Mac running 10.5.6." Glad i jailbroke on 10.5.5.

Are you kidding me??

I just updated RIGHT now.

[acosmichippo]

how can that be possible?

If you're in DFU, it's bricked unless iTunes can recognize it.

On the plus side, I like this update.

It allows tap to click.

[acosmichippo]

tap to click on the trackpad?

That's been available since at least 10.5.2 (when i got my mac).

Yeah, I just heard that from my friend. I wish I knew before, lol. :(

I don't think so. I updated to 10.5.6 earlier tonight and not five minutes later restored in DFU mode. No problem whatsoever.

I'll test it tomorrow and report back what happens.

Wow thanks dude, now I'll switch to the Macintosh side and update.

I'll try it once I get home, I'm late to school.

Last night I read on the deb team blog that if you're having problems with dry on 10.5.6 (which people have reported), it's due to a kernel error rather than a contermeasure on apple's part. They also listed some possible fixes. I'd post a link, but I'm on my phone now.

What about on the new alum. Macbooks is there any speculation about how they are going to fix the dfu mode problem on them? I cant do anyting with my phone on my mac i have to drive and use a xp machine.

Yeah, it breaks DFU, but apparently it's a bug and not intentional. You can replace the 10.5.6 kernels with the 10.5.5 one here: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/

Also, if you haven't upgrade yet, I recommend you don't do so. All I've heard is bad things about 10.5.6, from the DFU thing to freezing issues with Time Machine to freezing update processes. Have a peek at this article (http://www.tuaw.com/2008/12/16/new-os-upgrade-not-so-smooth-for-all/).

[acosmichippo]

mine has been OK (Time machine, and everything else). I think there will always be update issues with Time Capsules for SOMEONE... happened to me twice since i got my TC in March.

Haven't tried DFU yet, though.

[acosmichippo]

i may be imagining things, but since 10.5.6 i have noticed a HUGE speed boost to my Time Capsule network. Much less lag in streaming media from it, and transferring files.

anyone else notice it? coasts?
