Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update Brings Welcome Fixes

jetpack writes to make sure we're aware that Apple's OS X 10.5.2 update is available and that it contains plenty of improvements and fixes that users have been asking for. Macworld enumerates some of the big ones, saying that the update "shows Apple listens to users" (sometimes). A couple of the new features simply restore Tiger (10.4) capabilities that Leopard (10.5) had inexplicably withdrawn. You can now shut off the much-maligned transparency of the menu bar, and organize your Dock stacks hierarchically and display them as folders. And Apple has provided welcome access to common Time Machine functions in the menu bar.

    Directions from Apple. With screenshots.

    Jeepers! Over 24 steps, with screenshots to do something that should just be as simple as dragging & dropping some music from your ipod to your desktop?

    Thanks Apple! That Just Works (tm)!

    I have never heard of this bidirectional sync "optional plug-in" the original poster was referring to.

    The original poster was actually just referring to two way copying. Not that hard a concept to understand.
