Good to read.

okay, i am new to the mac world....so 10.5.2 meant/means nothing to me.

i uninstalled and reinstalled toontown and nothing happened, so i went to the apple site and searched 10.5.2 and there is an update if you use leopard.

and you have to have version 10.5 and i am 10.4.11

i don't think i have leopard, i have no clue!!!
i use safari and firefox when safari gives me fits, which it has not been loading my gmail lately.

any direction you could give me would be helpful. the flashing graphics are way old by now.
oh, and i guess my question is leopard like firefox and safari? a browser or is it something totally different. i tried downloading toowntown from firefox once thinking that could help, but it won't run on firefox.

thanks so much,
sherri

Version 10.5 aka Leopard.
Version 10.4 aka Tiger.
Version 10.3 aka Panther.
It's the alternate (fancy) name of the version of the OS. Since you're not running Leopard, you can't get the graphics update.

If you have 10.4.11 on your system, you have to purchase a $129 upgrade to get 10.5.2

[QueenFrizzyFuzzytoes]

that doesn't seem quite fair...
a graphics update for free would be nice.
this is the only issue i have, i am not sure it is worth $129...
oh well....

Unfortunately, this operating system has enough new things to qualify as a "mega" update, as I like to call them. It's basically the same operating system with a bunch of new stuff.

I would recommend getting Leopard, because it does have a lot of new stuff... But, unfortunately, Apple just won't give you the graphics update for free. >_<

Yeah, with Leopard, you get Boot Camp and can install a Windows partition on it. I'm running Vista.

Does anyone have more information on the graphic update?

I just upgraded to Leopard and I still get the flashing graphics.

I don't know what to do next.

Thanks!!!

[Roxy McSocks]

Really? It worked for me.

Hi everyone .... I just keep clicking on Software Update and all of a sudden ... I got a Display Upgrade.

I had upgraded to Leopard weeks before. So not sure why it took so long for the graphics update to appear.

But just keep checking if you don't get it right away.

Now the flashing is GONE. THank goodness.

This update was supposed to be a part of the 10.5.2 update but it was split to reduce download size. If you are not seeing the update on your software update, you may download it by going to http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...supdate10.html

NOTE: Mac OS X 10.5.2 must be on your system before this update can be installed, which will appear in software update on 10.5.0 and 10.5.1 before the graphics update will appear, it can not be installed on 10.4.0-10.4.11

Thank you so much! Our new MacBookPro came with Tiger installed, but with a Leopard disc. I didn't realize this and have been using Tiger all this time! Installed Leopard last night, then the updates and voila - no more flashing! Woohoo! Thanks for the info!
