MobileMe syncing improvements and security fixes headline the list of changes unveiled with the release of Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.6 update on Monday.

The sixth update to Leopard, originally released in October 2007, comes with the usual range of tweaks, bug fixes and security improvements.

One update of note concerns MobileMe, which is now capable of pushing updates made to calendars or contact information from the web or an iPhone to the primary Mac within a minute.

Apple had numerous problems with the launch of the MobileMe service earlier this year, and the latest update should help fix one of the more pressing issues still outstanding with the $99-a-year (£65) service.

A full list of the issues addressed with 10.5.6 can be found on Apple's site, as can a list of the security improvements.

The file should now be appearing in the Software Update window, and the update can also be downloaded from Apple's website.
