Simeon Says

I got an IM from my friend Nick yesterday asking if I had taken the OS X 10.5.2 update yet. I didnt realize it had been released. He relayed a story of whoa, regarding unstable, high processor usage and unhappiness. I had not updated yet, but resolved not to until I heard more.

Then I got home that night and was talking with my wife, and she relayed that she had taken the update and was running swimmingly. I thought 50 50 huh? Well maybe. Then she synced her iPhone and we realized that it had duplicated all her calendar entries. She was very upset. Perhaps that is a bit of an understatement. But regardless, one quick look in iCal revealed the problem. After the 10.5.2 update all her calendars in iCal had been duplicated. 2 of each of them. I did some testing and found that we could delete 1 of them with no ill effects. Re-synced her iPhone and all is right with the world.

Today I did the update. All went perfectly for me as well. Except I see I also have duplicate calendars in iCal. Again deleting one of each worked fine for me.

Not sure if anyone else is seeing that behavior but I wanted to post to let people know its safe. One things specifically that could be our issue, is the use of Spanning Sync to sync iCal and Google Calendar. I think thats the only thing we have in common if its just us thats got the dups.

So Happy Upgrading to all. Now I can only pray that my issue with spaces has been fixed.
