I just upgraded my 1.83 MacBook and my 20" 2.0G5 iMac to 10.5.1.

The MacBook upgrade went perfectly.

My iMac is now fubar. The Finder won't launch properly, and is stuck in a loop of relaunching itself repeatedly. If I try to launch another app (such as Safari) it quits after a minute since the Finder is going around and around. Yeeesh. I'm stuck. It looks like I'll be visiting the message boards for a while to find a fix...

I installed the update on my G5 and so far everything is fine. I will update the iBook when the wife gets home from work.

I reinstalled 10.5.1 with my iMac in target disk mode (and connected to the MacBook).

Everything is back and running properly.

So far...

Upgraded MacBook Pro, MacBook, Mac Mini, no issues.

This is the first report I have heard of a 10.5.1 install going wrong, but then I haven't trolled looking for one. Have you tried booting into safe mode, logging in and then restarting as normal? This seems to be a common fix for Finder related issues in 10.4 and 10.5, one which I have implemented with great success many times.

My g4 power book bit the dust on this update too. After it installed, rebooted, it went t garble land, had some error. Rebooted and it seemed the update was fine. Now few days later, rebooted spaces wont turn on, and my dock wont load. Checked error reporting logs, shows dock keeps trying to launch but crash each time. Trying safe mode now, but tried disk verify, etc, no worky.

I had the very same issue and ended up doing a clean install of Tiger to resolve this, has anyone got a fix for this yet?

My Software Update crashes on 10.5 so can't install 10.5.1. I'm even unable to download from Apple and then install, so I'm pretty stuck.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem, how did you solve it, or did you?

I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 then did all the updates to my MacBook. Every thing went well and since then all has been well till last week I discovered that I could not see the hard disk on the desktop and that finder was playing up. I have looked for solutions on the internet but non is good enough to resolve this problem. I am abroad on holiday so I cannot reinstall but have to wait till I get back to London unless someone has a quick solution that resolves finder launching issues. Applications that are not in the dock have to be launched through spot light and saving any thing in any application is out of the question.
