Ever since I updated to OS X 10.5.1, Leopard’s first update, things just keep crashing. It’s not just one or two applications like Microsoft Office applications, but other well behaved programs such as MarsEdit and by beloved 1Password. Prior to install the update, all these applications worked flawlessly and never gave up a final breath until I closed it. Now, I’m getting crashes left and right. Some applications refuse to even stay open for any usable amount of time unless I reboot. Ugh, what’s going on, Apple? This update seems so horrible.
I haven’t seen or heard others complaining about this update, yet, so maybe it’s just me. Thinking this, I did a format and install of Leopard off the DVD and then migrated by Carbon Copy Cloner image of my previous 10.5.1 install. Since this only sucks up preferences and applications along with user documents, stability should be better if not return to normal. Nope, same old problem the minute Software Update informed me of 10.5.1 and I accepted its offer to destroy, er, upgrade my operating system.
So, buyer be ware.

Hi there Expert, I am glad I pressed harder enough until I found dvd cloner 4 software, because this post on Leopard 10.5.1 Update Is Pretty Scary As Things Just Keep Crashing was extremely helpful. Just last Friday I was pondering on this quite a bit.

Hi,
I have the same problem, I think it is also the update because I get crashes from program like Preview when trying to edit photos, etc…
Hope Apple solve this problem soon.
