It's seems that Apple didn't officially disclosed that the Firewile CoreAudio issue was addressed with this update? Presonus Firebox has been stable since I updated to 10.5.3.

I'm a simple convert who didn't know x=10 but I've seen the light and moved across. Everything was just so until I upgraded to Leopard and since then the beach ball has become my nemesis.. bloody thing....grrrrrr.

You got a couple of kernel panic's... that's nothing compared to what i got. I have 2 MacBook's Pro, a 15" (mine) and a 17" (work), on mine i was lucky and pretty much everything works, i still get the occasional spinning beach ball, but nothing to serious. On the 17", last friday, after the update to 10.5.2 i got 11 dead pixels and a dead superdrive. It looks like the latest Apple update changes the firmware on you're superdrive, and now i got a superdrive that reads cd's, spits out dvd's (refuses to play any DVD, recorded with data or a normal original movie DVD) and refuses to write cd's or dvd's. I've contacted Apple, and the only thing they tell me is for me to take my MacBook to a Mac Genius, problem is i live in Portugal, we don't even have a Mac physical shop in here!!! only the online shop is available... so i ended up packing and sending my work MacBook to Apple UK... with my luck, it will probably get lost, stolen, broken or something else on the way there... And don't even start me on the price problem... just for you to get a idea, a MacBook Pro in the US is $1999US, the same MacBook Pro in here is $2858US.... that's $859US more expensive... Sorry about this... i just had to vent my current frustration with Apple... Best regards from Portugal, Joao. Hi.

You got a couple of kernel panic’s… that’s nothing compared to what i got.

I have 2 MacBook’s Pro, a 15″ (mine) and a 17″ (work), on mine i was lucky and pretty much everything works, i still get the occasional spinning beach ball, but nothing to serious.

On the 17″, last friday, after the update to 10.5.2 i got 11 dead pixels and a dead superdrive. It looks like the latest Apple update changes the firmware on you’re superdrive, and now i got a superdrive that reads cd’s, spits out dvd’s (refuses to play any DVD, recorded with data or a normal original movie DVD) and refuses to write cd’s or dvd’s.

I’ve contacted Apple, and the only thing they tell me is for me to take my MacBook to a Mac Genius, problem is i live in Portugal, we don’t even have a Mac physical shop in here!!! only the online shop is available… so i ended up packing and sending my work MacBook to Apple UK… with my luck, it will probably get lost, stolen, broken or something else on the way there…

And don’t even start me on the price problem… just for you to get a idea, a MacBook Pro in the US is $1999US, the same MacBook Pro in here is $2858US…. that’s $859US more expensive…

Sorry about this… i just had to vent my current frustration with Apple…

Best regards from Portugal,

I was really hoping that the FW Core audio problem went away with the Mac Pro firmware update 1.3 but it seems that it's not resolved. The problem appears to be less systematic. Before the firmware update, I would get a kernel panic every time the computer went to sleep or when I connect or disconnectthe firewire cable from my Firewire audio recording device (Presonus firebox). Yesterday my computer had two Kernel panics while I was using Logic pro 8... Well…Last night, I put the computer to sleep and it didn’t ‘wake up’ (Kernel panic?)
