Mac OS X 10.5.2 Fixes Some Bugs, Introduces Others

This week Apple released Mac OS X Update 10.5.2, and while it fixes the notorious Leopard iCal bug present in 10.5 and 10.5.1, it introduces another bug with identical symptoms, plus others:

Synchronized events are not reflected in iCal
Endless sync conflicts when syncing with .Mac
Duplicate calendars

Our Mac software architect Larry Hendricks has posted a comprehensive discussion of the new problems caused by 10.5.2 and their solutions to the Spanning Sync Google Group.

Apple is aware of these issues, which affect not only Spanning Sync but also applications like Plaxo, Entourage, BusySync, and .Mac itself, and is reportedly working on fixes.

We're very optimistic that Apple will fix these problems in Mac OS X 10.5.3, which is rumored to be right around the corner. (Updated 17 Apr 2008)

If you're affected by any of these issues, please follow the procedures described in Larry's post. And as always, please contact us at support@spanningsync.com if you need additional help.
