No new nVidea drivers?

[carlos700]

I wonder if this will be the last Mac OS X "Panther" v10.3 update...

[kainjow]

I hope it fixes the random increase of fan activity in Power Mac G5's!!

[killuminati]

I hope it fixes some of the issues that .8 brought up with my pb

[mingisback]

this update was released to support the new machines being announced this Sunday at the NAB Keynote Presentation.... (keeping fingers crossed)

....... added support for DualCore G5's :)

wouldn't that be nice, hehe.

[runplaysleeprun]

I wonder if this will be the last Mac OS X "Panther" v10.3 update...

i think they've run out of numbers.
10.3.7, 10.3.8, 10.3.9, 10.3.9 and a half, 10.3.9 and three quarters....

[notmenotyou]

I wonder if this will be the last Mac OS X "Panther" v10.3 update...

i hope it is, i really don't want to see 10.3.11, i rather see 10.4.1.

:p

[idkew]

here's to hoping it fixes the slow and unreliable file transfers to pcs on my work network!

[edson113]

51mb that seems pretty big, ohh well 10.3.9 may you treat me well for the 2 weeks we are together

[Rocksaurus]

No mention of updated graphics drivers or a fix for the G5 fan problem. Ugh. I guess it's a good way to encourage upgrading to Tiger..?

[wookitus]

- Mail, Safari and Stickies application reliability


STICKIES UPDATE! YESSSS! I can barely contain myself. I hear this one is the stickies minor bug fix we've all been waiting for. No need for Tiger now! :eek:

[killuminati]

I'm having trouble downloading it, it says that it cant connect to the server. But my internet is working fine???

[Nermal]

SSL webpages (pages with URLs that start with "https://") load faster in Safari.

Yay! It's about time!

[yg17]

i think they've run out of numbers.
10.3.7, 10.3.8, 10.3.9, 10.3.9 and a half, 10.3.9 and three quarters....
10.3.10, 10.3.11, 10.3.12, 10.3.529824958140514.........

[Daveway]

Am I the only one who notices that the iMac G5's fans are running a little faster than normal with this update?

[Alec006]

STICKIES UPDATE! YESSSS! I can barely contain myself. I hear this one is the stickies minor bug fix we've all been waiting for. No need for Tiger now! :eek:

thank god...that stickies problem was so annoying i was ready to bust out my Dell...but not anymore, now its installing, and my PB 15 has morphed into a lapzilla...niiice

[superfunkomatic]

I'm having trouble downloading it, it says that it cant connect to the server. But my internet is working fine???
try a reboot, i've had that error on past updates. rebooted and it worked fine.

[PlaceofDis]

darn restart needed, oh well, hopefully nothing will break on my system, i hope , :::fingers crossed:::

[Rod Rod]

In case anyone's curious:

10.3.9 is build 7W98
Safari is up to 1.3 (v312)
Stickies is 4.3 (v4.3)
Mail is 1.3.11 (v622)

[bit density]

I for one am going to go for 14 days of uptime!!!
Then, TIGER!

W00T!

[iGary]

From Apple:

Improvements

This update offers many reliability and compatibility improvements. These are just a few of the enhancements and improvements included:


Stickies

Addresses an issue in which Stickies could unexpectedly quit when creating a new note.

Addresses an issue in which new Stickies are invisible.

Stickies windows can now be minimized (an issue with Mac OS X 10.3.4 through 10.3.8).



Safari

Accessing certain websites, such as msnbc.com, mail.yahoo.com, ticketmaster.com, and others, no longer displays a "bad server response" alert that could occur in Safari.

Addresses an issue in which "safe downloads" files are not automatically opened after downloading.

SSL webpages (pages with URLs that start with "https://") load faster in Safari.

Adds some important Verisign root certificates to Safari, allowing you to connect to certain secure websites that you might not have been able to surf before.

Adds other trusted root certificates to Safari, such as VISA and RSA.



Finder

Addresses an issue in which copied files could become fragmented (but still usable) when you copy more than one file at the same time in the Finder.

Addresses a rare issue in which a file could become damaged when copying to a FAT16- or FAT32-formatted volume.

Improves reliability when mounting (making available) a disk image that's larger than 4.7 GB.



More

Addresses slow vertical tracking and intermittent trackpad behavior on PowerBook G4 12-inch 1.5GHz, 15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz, and 17-inch 1.67GHz computers.

Adds an "Apple Internal 56k Modem (v.32)" modem choice that you can use if you have difficulty using Verizon's Airfone Jet Connect service.

Addresses an issue with Mac OS X 10.3.6 and later in which the Calculator window won't appear if the Speak Button Pressed or Speak Total options are enabled.

Fixes an issue at the login window, where clicking the small space just below the bottom user account picture would produce this alert:
"Internal Error *** -[NSCF Array objectAtIndex:]: index(-1) beyond bounds (X)" (where X is the number of user accounts shown).

Addresses an issue in which the startup time in Mac OS X 10.3.6 through 10.3.8 may be extended if a large number of PostScript fonts are installed.

If your PowerBook G4 sometimes wakes up with a kernel panic, installing this update may help.

Addresses a data loss issue that could occur when syncing your iDisk at the same time that .Mac servers are experiencing heavy usage.

Avoids a potential Mail issue if the application is running when Daylight Savings Time changes.

Addresses some formatting issues that could occur when replying to HTML messages in Mail.

[Wonder Boy]

i think they've run out of numbers.
10.3.7, 10.3.8, 10.3.9, 10.3.9 and a half, 10.3.9 and three quarters....

lets not start this debate again. anyone with a brain knows that if another update is coming, they can go with 10.3.10. they didnt run out of numbers.

[daveL]

No mention of updated graphics drivers or a fix for the G5 fan problem. Ugh. I guess it's a good way to encourage upgrading to Tiger..?
The actual big fix list was extensive for this release. Software Update just gives a couple highlights. Graphics drivers did receive some attention.

[BigMacIain]

I wonder if this is fixed?

I think I'll wait until next week to see if any problem reports surface.

[hcuar]

Installed on my PM... no apparent problems. ;) I just installed my new Airport Extreme base station tonight as well. Works great! :D

What a night... new base station and 10.3.9. :p

[Brize]

No mention of updated graphics drivers or a fix for the G5 fan problem.

10.3.9 seems to have resolved the fan issue on my Dual G5.

[Applespider]

It appears to have fixed the ambient lighting problem that appeared in 10.3.8 and meant that the PB's screen was constantly flickering in variable lighting. I've turned it back on and it seems to be working as it used to pre 10.3.8

[sjpetry]

lets not start this debate again. anyone with a brain knows that if another update is coming, they can go with 10.3.10. they didnt run out of numbers.
Thank You.

[Mitch2003]

Has anyone else had probs w/ bluetooth after upgrading?? After installed my Apple mouse and keyboard would not connect... Restarted, and then my computer said I no longer had a Bluetooth card... Restarted again, and everything was fine.. phew

[wookitus]

This update has safari 1.3

Also, my Doom speed increased by 60fpd*







*Frames Per Day :eek:

[CubaTBird]

this will be the last update to panther.. long live the great panther! ~sigh~ good times.. good times... :( :o :cool:

[wookitus]

What does "Use transparent window" in the safari debug menu do (besides get rid of window shadows)? That seems to be new. Someone smart here should spend some unnecessary time figuring it out. :p

[powerbook911]

Has anyone else had probs w/ bluetooth after upgrading?? After installed my Apple mouse and keyboard would not connect... Restarted, and then my computer said I no longer had a Bluetooth card... Restarted again, and everything was fine.. phew

Hi Mitch, Apple Pro Wireless Mouse worked immediately upon restart here.

[quackattack]

alright, why not. i can't help but feel like this is a little pointless for me, 14 days and all this panther nonsence will be behind me! :D ;)

[Toe]

This update has safari 1.3...and here I am on Safari 1.2.4... waiting for the 10.3.9 download to complete. I feel so deprived!

[dmarkman]

What does "Use transparent window" in the safari debug menu do (besides get rid of window shadows)? That seems to be new. Someone smart here should spend some unnecessary time figuring it out. :p

try to go to any site
you'll see some effect every time you go to new site or reload old one

also try to put in the address bar and press enter
about:blank

go to the site
http://cash4macs.com/

probably they have transparent background

enjoy

[Nermal]

Changes noticed so far:

1. Safari's bookmark bar has all the defaults back again.
2. About This Mac says 10.3.9.

Those are all the changes I've noticed!

[homerjward]

What does "Use transparent window" in the safari debug menu do (besides get rid of window shadows)? That seems to be new. Someone smart here should spend some unnecessary time figuring it out. :p
it's really odd. it lets you highlight the entire window contents, even blank space and lets you drag the window around from any spot in the window. edit: does the highlight thing anyway. i have no idea what it does then. it wouldnt load pithhelmet when i started safari because it "hadn't been tested" and it didn't connect to my wifi network on startup but other than that it's all good. dock curiously seems better.

[chevyorange]

This is Red Five, I'm goin' in!

Edit: Works like a champ.

[aarond12]

I for one am going to go for 14 days of uptime!!!
Then, TIGER!

W00T!

Ironically, on a Mac machine, 14 days uptime is no big deal. Now, if you were running Windows... :p

[_bnkr612]

I hope it fixes the 4 wheel drive in my Jeep.

[Honortgoat]

Trackpad fix for my 15" PowerBook! Now lets hope it works.

Addresses slow vertical tracking and intermittent trackpad behavior on PowerBook G4 12-inch 1.5GHz, 15-inch 1.67/1.5GHz, and 17-inch 1.67GHz computers. :D

[Toe]

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300966If your PowerBook G4 sometimes wakes up with a kernel panic, installing this update may help.Cool!

...though I'm not so sure I like that "may" in there. :(

[j-a-x]

Has anybody else noticed that you can no longer option-click a download to see the speed (instead of the estimated download time).... strange huh?

Also, Safari has crashed on me 3 times in the last 10 minutes after this update... repairing disk permissions now....

[Lacero]

Any news this update is compatible with FCP 5.0?

[vieoray]

all the default bookmarks in the bookmark bar return. other than that, no problems on this iMac G5.

[vouder17]

Has anybody else noticed that you can no longer option-click a download to see the speed (instead of the estimated download time).... strange huh?

Also, Safari has crashed on me 3 times in the last 10 minutes after this update... repairing disk permissions now....

Yeah same problem here....Safari's stability has dropped.. :mad: I tried to watch a streaming video and it crashed everytime... Oh well i quess i can just live with Firefox for 14 days... Cant wait for tiger :D :D

[TIGERmac]

Safari's pop-up blocker appears to be fixed. I cleared out all cookies and cache and went to a known pop-under "offender" site (MacDailyNews) and didn't get one!

Everything seems to be running fine. I haven't experienced the BT issues that one poster mentioned.

[Nermal]

Has anybody else noticed that you can no longer option-click a download to see the speed (instead of the estimated download time).... strange huh?

On my system, both the estimated time and the speed are now displayed simultaneously.

[xsnightclub]

Has anyone else had probs w/ bluetooth after upgrading?? After installed my Apple mouse and keyboard would not connect... Restarted, and then my computer said I no longer had a Bluetooth card... Restarted again, and everything was fine.. phew


In the Utilities folder, run Bluetooth Firmware Updater.

I was having issues with connectivity until I ran this last week.

So far 10.3.9 is running great, no issues at all.

[mcgarry]

Changes noticed so far:

1. Safari's bookmark bar has all the defaults back again. ...[snip]


I'm going to give this bit a thumbs-down. I suppose I should be grateful to Apple for upgrading my Safari to 1.3, but adding Yahoo, eBay, etc. to my Bookmarks bar without me asking for it? Just not classy. But no, it's not a big deal.

Safari has also seemed a bit sluggish at first, but that is just a meaningless early feeling, I'll give it some time.

[jbrjake]

It appears to have fixed the ambient lighting problem that appeared in 10.3.8 and meant that the PB's screen was constantly flickering in variable lighting. I've turned it back on and it seems to be working as it used to pre 10.3.8
OMG thank you! I thought my backlight was just failing...and since I live in Florida, where there's no AppleCare, I thought I was screwed. *quickly goes to download 10.3.9*

[mduser63]

Hope it fixes the bug I've been having where Mail quits every time I save changes to account settings. That only happens on my Powerbook, so I won't be able to test it until later (using Powermac now).

Edit: Seems to have greatly improved Safari's pop up blocker for me too, as I've visited several sites that previously always resulted in a pop up, and so far none of them have successfully launched a popup.

[AndrewTosh]

It seems like my Java support won't work at all now. I can't run Eclipse, Netbeans, java or javac from the command line, and my Tomcat server isn't coming up at startup.

Any clues?

[dmarkman]

What does "Use transparent window" in the safari debug menu do (besides get rid of window shadows)? That seems to be new. Someone smart here should spend some unnecessary time figuring it out. :p

if page doesn't define background color like
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>
content will be transparent
it's easy to check:
start your apache server (system preferences->sharing->personal web sharing
go to you ~/Sites folder and edit your index.html file (remove BGCOLOR
attribute from the BODY element so it should look like
<BODY>
in safari go to the site localhost/~<your user name>
so if your username is smith
go to the localhost/~smith and enjoy

[aprilfools]

Oh yeah. I predicted that it was going to come today and I was correct as usual. Yes. Just call me Nostradamus. Thank you. :)

Where is this 'debug' menu you are talking about?

[jjmaximum]

I am downloading 10.3.9 now, but do not want to lose all the entries on my bookmark bar...is this happening to everyone?

[dmarkman]

Where is this 'debug' menu you are talking about?
open your terminal window and run the following command
defaults write -app Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1


and restart safari

[besler3035]

I am downloading 10.3.9 now, but do not want to lose all the entries on my bookmark bar...is this happening to everyone?

You won't lose the entries, they'll just add Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, and the News section, as well as the usual Apple links. Just feel free to drag 'em out when you update.

[j-a-x]

On my system, both the estimated time and the speed are now displayed simultaneously.

Ahh... cool, I just realized that if I resize the download window to be a bit bigger, I see both. Thanks.

That still doesn't solve the crashing issue though. I've narrowed down my safari crashes to be every time I hit command-W to close a window or tab. Pretty weird huh? Can somebody else please confirm whether this is just me or not?

[xsnightclub]

I am downloading 10.3.9 now, but do not want to lose all the entries on my bookmark bar...is this happening to everyone?

It does not clear your existing bookmarks, it just replaces the intitial bookmarks from when first time using safari back in the bar along side you current ones.

[AP_piano295]

Tiger out in like two weeks right
o well its impressive they care that much

[besler3035]

open your terminal window and run the following command
defaults write -app Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1


and restart safari

Okay, now that I realized that was worthless for me, how do I get rid of the Debug menu?

[dmarkman]

It seems like my Java support won't work at all now. I can't run Eclipse, Netbeans, java or javac from the command line, and my Tomcat server isn't coming up at startup.

Any clues?

don't have any problem with java
what do you see if you try to run java -version from command line?

[shawnce]

Okay, now that I realized that was worthless for me, how do I get rid of the Debug menu?

Turn your monitor 180 degrees and type that command again. ;)


(or replace "1" with "0")

[Toe]

open your terminal window and run the following command
defaults write -app Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
and restart safari...or you could use Safari Enhancer (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17776)

[besler3035]

Turn your monitor 180 degrees and type that command again. ;)


(or replace "1" with "0")

Thank you :)

[jbaugh]

I hope it fixes some of the issues that .8 brought up with my pb
What issues did 10.2.8 cause for you? I'm having some problems apparently related to my Firewire that may have begun after the 10.2.8 update.
Titanium PB 800 MHz.
John

[katanna]

It won't download for me... won't connect.

Matthew

[wdlove]

Very interesting 14 days till Tiger and now we have Panther 10.3.9. I will wait until tomorrow just to see how it works for everyone.

[Toe]

Hey!

View Source used to be Comand-Option-V and now it appears to be Comand-Option-U.

That's going to be hard to unlearn.

And what does Comand-Option-V do now? Is that something in Tiger or something?

[AndrewTosh]

don't have any problem with java
what do you see if you try to run java -version from command line?

Segmentation fault

[vouder17]

Azureus doesnt launch anymore???

[AndrewTosh]

Azureus doesnt launch anymore???

It's a Java app. 10.3.9 broke Java support for me and at least one other person on the boards here.

[jophilpo]

Just updated my Mini and no problems to report here.

[AndrewTosh]

Just updated my Mini and no problems to report here.

Can you try typing:

java -version

at the command line in Terminal?

It works with no problems for me except for broken Java support.

[dmarkman]

Segmentation fault
try to repair permission and restart
also if it won't help send your question to the apple's java-dev list
I think I saw something similar before
you have to subscribe yourself via
http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/java-dev

[xsnightclub]

Can you try typing:

java -version

at the command line in Terminal?

It works with no problems for me except for broken Java support.

I get
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)

[GodBless]

If you select the option to "Use Transparent Window" in the Debug menu then each time you load a page, the Safari window is transparent. Pretty cool isn't it?

[mcgarry]

Hey!

View Source used to be Comand-Option-V and now it appears to be Comand-Option-U.

That's going to be hard to unlearn.

And what does Comand-Option-V do now? Is that something in Tiger or something?


ouch! that's a less comfortable combo, at least to try with one hand!

I wonder why it changed ...

[j-a-x]

Segmentation fault

I get a segmentation fault when i run java as well (javac and java from terminal)...

[bentley]

Tiger out in like two weeks right
o well its impressive they care that much

because if you go into an Apple store now the only OS on the shelves will be Panther

because 10.3.8 was a piece of crap that screwed up my PB

etc.

[Reuven]

Just installed update all seems good here :D:D Think its fixed my PB sleeping issue.

But looking v ery very much forward to Tiger.

With Tiger there will be 3 types of install options If I am correct what are they ?

[ghostee]

Ran software update, intalled 10.3.9, rebooted, immediately repaired disk permissions..... fired up Azureus and it loads fine.

ghostees-Computer:~ ghostee$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-141.4)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-38, mixed mode)

Running Azureus version 2.2.0.2

It doesn't load at all for you vouder? I havn't tried loading a torrent yet, but the launch went successfully except for the nag screen. :D Guess I need to get around to giving the project a few $.

[stcanard]

Avoids a potential Mail issue if the application is running when Daylight Savings Time changes.

Uhh, anybody else think the release date slipped a bit on this one?

Or are they just being really proactive for 2006 :D

[Blackheart]

I for one am going to go for 14 days of uptime!!!
Then, TIGER!

W00T!

Ha! I have you beat!... Next restart for me is Tiger installation too.

http://students.washington.edu/stuartbr/macrumors/uptime2.png

[ChrisH3677]

Yeah same problem here....Safari's stability has dropped.. :mad: I tried to watch a streaming video and it crashed everytime... Oh well i quess i can just live with Firefox for 14 days... Cant wait for tiger :D :D

Same here. Safari won't even start - and I have tried repairing permissions and deleting its preferences.

Any tips appreciated

Nope it just bounces a few time in the dock and that is it...
I tried Bittorrent 4.01 that works fine...strange.

[xsnightclub]

Uhh, anybody else think the release date slipped a bit on this one?

Or are they just being really proactive for 2006 :D

It is possible the update was held off until late on Friday so as to address the upcoming release of new PM G5s on Sunday.
If the update was released earlier, it would give people more time to pick it apart and find info about upcoming new PMs, release it on the Friday before so the updates are available.

Or I could be reading into the relase date like a crazy person, but the crazy thing is to bother with the DST fix when Tiger is out in 2 weeks.

[aprilfools]

Anybody else notice that the date on the 10.3.9 updaters are April 12, 2005. Looks like Apple has been holding out on us the last three days!! :confused:

[ChrisH3677]

Same here. Safari won't even start - and I have tried repairing permissions and deleting its preferences.

Any tips appreciated

Dunno if it's the problem, but I am running Sogudi and PithHelmet

[WebHead]

lets not start this debate again. anyone with a brain knows that if another update is coming, they can go with 10.3.10. they didnt run out of numbers.

I don't mind starting this debate again. Mathematically, 10.3.10 is the equivalent of 10.3.1. But then the second decimal point is mathematically incorrect, so anything's possible ...

[mattster16]

I am so glad this fixed the flickering backlight powerbook issue. I just thought my display was breaking. I'm relieved. :cool:

[minton]

This is Red Five, I'm goin' in!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/georgpor/XWingExplosion.gif

Seriously, how do you roll back the OS if things don't work out?

[AppleAce]

I hope it fixes the random increase of fan activity in Power Mac G5's!!

I hope it doesn't re-break the 10.3.8 fix of random fan activity in my PM G5!

[stcanard]

I don't mind starting this debate again. Mathematically, 10.3.10 is the equivalent of 10.3.1. But then the second decimal point is mathematically incorrect, so anything's possible ...

It's fairly simple just consider them hexadecimal translated into decimal for human readability.

Just like 192.168.1.5 :p

[clusterman]

At last, everyone else gets our deaf-node syndrome fix for the xserve:

Network Hardware

* Addresses on issue with Ethernet communication on Xserve hardware that could result in packet corruption.

[rfoap]

On my system, both the estimated time and the speed are now displayed simultaneously.

The same thing happens on my system...

[mcgarry]

I don't mind starting this debate again. Mathematically, 10.3.10 is the equivalent of 10.3.1. But then the second decimal point is mathematically incorrect, so anything's possible ...

Open Mail. Check the version. It now says 1.3.11. Many more such examples exist. Consider version numbers simply a part of a product name, because that's what they are.

I'm currently using BitPim 0.7.30, which came after 0.7.29.

[ifjake]

caution! my powerbook ti 1Ghz won't let me launch safari (thank god for firefox) after the update. i've rebooted and everything i'm now going to try to repair permissions. proceed with caution!!!

[kinless]

HOLY CRAP!

I never thought I'd see the day!

Safari 1.3 has fixed the 100% height issue in HTML, where a table using it only went down to cover the length of the content.

Now it goes ALL the way down to the bottom of the screen like it's supposed to.

THANK YOU APPLE!!!!!

[j-a-x]

I think I solved my safari crash. I noticed something suspicious in the crash log...

I hope this helps other people too.....

[Courthold]

To all who have issues with Safari not starting up, I had to restart TWICE before safari (and mail too) would start up properly, not just once.

[xsnightclub]

I have not had any issues yet.
Safari finally correctly loads several sites that I had problems with before, and the window Zoom works as it should too.

At last, everyone else gets our deaf-node syndrome fix for the xserve:

Network Hardware

* Addresses on issue with Ethernet communication on Xserve hardware that could result in packet corruption.
What does this look like? We've been seeing some strange dropoffs, but have been focusing on wiring issues. I'm curious to see what your symptoms were...

[gandalf55]

Just performed update. Safari bombed 1st 2 launches. Managed to stay afloat, linked to another page. Bomb.

I have killed Prefs and am repairing permissions right now. I am posting from Firefox :(

[chris h 1997]

No problems here, just finished both machines, Rev A PowerMac G5 Dual 2Ghz and a Rev C 12" PowerBook. In 14 days it will be time to wipe 'em clean and unleash Tiger.
:)

[daveL]

Very interesting 14 days till Tiger and now we have Panther 10.3.9. I will wait until tomorrow just to see how it works for everyone.
If memory serves me, the last point upgrade of Jaguar came out after the Panther announcement, but before the release. The timing seems virtually the same. Of course, it may have something to do with new hw/sw coming in the days ahead, but who knows.

[ChrisH3677]

I think I solved my safari crash. I noticed something suspicious in the crash log...

Woohoo! Same sort of thing worked for me. I removed PithHelmet (0.7.3) manually and it's now working.

Like you the error report told me where to look for it.

Also tried had removed Sogudi, but put it back and it's still fine.

Check the crash reporter. Are you running any third party input managers etc?

I had to remove PithHelmet (0.7.3) before I could even get Safari to start again.


PS Why would you think it's a hardware problem? Altho you do have the same computer as me.

[clusterman]

What does this look like? We've been seeing some strange dropoffs, but have been focusing on wiring issues. I'm curious to see what your symptoms were...

Toe,

The "deaf node" syndrome is where a node will stop responding to ethernet traffic. Yet, if you log into the node via the console, you can see that everything APPEARS fine. If you shut down the interface, and bring it back up, all is well.

The bug has to do with corrupted frames being received, i.e. a 1504 byte frame when the node is expecting a 1500 byte frame, etc.

When things were REALLY bad, we could guarantee crash 1/2 of a rack of machines in 10 minutes.

[Apple Hobo]

This update breaks PithHelmet. You might want to hold off until a PH update is out. I'll be using Firefox for now. :(

[edit]
I also don't appreciate the added commercial bookmarks. WTF is that all about? :mad: :mad: I hope this was a simple oversight; messing with the user's bookmarks is completely unacceptable.

i got rid of iAlert input manager - but there is SIMBL in there too, can i get rid of that as well? Looks like its from Apple from the Info doc in there...

ugh...

[desdomg]

Still cant cut and paste in the Fiinder ..... it has always baffled me why there is an option to cut (command-x) but it is always greyed out.

[Ryon]

About the "Transparent Windows" in Safari... my guess is that they added that ability to Safari (Webkit? don't know the technical terms for Mac internals) so that Dashboard widgets can have transparency.

Same here, I removed AcidSearch and Safari now works perfectly.

[aswitcher]

See my sig :rolleyes:

[Sasha3]

Safari quit on me after update. Trashed Acid Search in Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. Works fine now, but I REALLY miss Acid Search.

[ifjake]

aww crap i use acidsearch. that's probably why it isn't working. i am now sad. :(

but that did it. maybe they'll have an update soon to fix this. it's very useful.

[gandalf55]

AcidSearch was the culprit for me. All good now.

[AppleAce]

Yaaayyyy, G5 fans are still quiet! Just updated and everything works fine :D

[andrewfee]

Everything seems good apart from the fact that cyberduck crashes on load. (trashed prefs etc) I don't know for sure, but I think it might be another java related issue. (and I've repaired permissions etc)

Things like Exposé seem to be a little bit faster; but that might just be a placebo effect.

[u2mr2os2]

I don't mind starting this debate again. Mathematically, 10.3.10 is the equivalent of 10.3.1. But then the second decimal point is mathematically incorrect, so anything's possible ...
I know most of these posts are just joking, but quite a few sound serious. I mean if you were going to invoke decimal point rules here, then what about IP addresses? It seems these people want to look at the version number without the second dot since it makes a nice comfortable, safe, boring floating point number, so that the current version is really 10.39. I also suppose if Apple keeps releasing point updates to 10.3, then they should start numbering them 10.3.91, 10.3.92, ..., 10.3.99, 10.3.991, etc. Maybe they could just switch to BASIC line numbering strategy, and we would have 100380, 100390, 100391, 100392, ..., 100400. That would give us 9 more update numbers before 100400 (10.4) :)

:p The ultimate question of life, the MacOS and everything is: what will be the numbering scheme at the first "dot" level? Will we have an eternity of 10.9 releases before OS 11? Or will we thumb our noses at the decimal police and have 10.10 through 10.99 and even 10.100.10 before turning to XI?

[Androit]

I'm going to give this bit a thumbs-down. I suppose I should be grateful to Apple for upgrading my Safari to 1.3, but adding Yahoo, eBay, etc. to my Bookmarks bar without me asking for it? Just not classy. But no, it's not a big deal.

Safari has also seemed a bit sluggish at first, but that is just a meaningless early feeling, I'll give it some time.


Somehow I don't think this was intentional on their part.

[Toe]

Quotes...

Kinda seems like Apple is trying to shake out potential compatibility issues with Tiger before Tiger is released. These last after-the-announcement 10.x.x fixes appear to serve a nice transitional purpose. 10.3.9 will be very helpful both for people who don't upgrade to Tiger for a while (for compatibility with new apps), and for people who will be upgrading soon.

[SAukland]

WOAHHHH! :eek:

I have a 15" 1.67 Powerbook, and these trackpads are definitely performing better, and its significantly noticable.

I saw it on the spec sheet while waiting for the download.

Now I just have to slow down the tracking. Its so ZIPPY.

[Rocksaurus]

The actual big fix list was extensive for this release. Software Update just gives a couple highlights. Graphics drivers did receive some attention.

I looked at the list on Apple's website and didn't see anything about graphics drivers. Where are you looking?

[MCroft]

Open in Tabs on the Bookmark bar now opens all subfolders. Ditto from the bookmarks menu.

Download no longer lets you pick the location for a particular download. It's the default or nothing.

Right-Click on a bookmark bar item and it has an "Open in Collections" command. It's the same as Bookmarks, but I don't think it used to be called that.

The Bookmarks page now has a history browser.

CMD-1 - CMD-9 activate the first 9 bookmarks in the bookmarks bar. Time to reorder things.

Rendezvous not yet called Bonjour.

[dornoforpyros]

eh downloaded and installed on my sing 1.8ghz G5...no difference.

[Lancetx]

I've updated two Macs to 10.3.9 and both are working flawlessly. Two nice things I've noticed about Safari 1.3. First is that the download window now shows the dl rate and time remaining simultaneously and second is that the pop-up blocker is now fully functional again. :)

[Orlando Furioso]

STICKIES UPDATE! YESSSS! I can barely contain myself. I hear this one is the stickies minor bug fix we've all been waiting for. No need for Tiger now! :eek:

Thanks for the sarcastic yet adorable comment. It bore an instantaneous hearty laugh. A nice ending to a long day.

On another note, Stickies in Tiger have one HUGE selling point... they are dashboard-esque. :p

[eXan]

Am I the only one who notices that the iMac G5's fans are running a little faster than normal with this update?

Thats because your iMac now runs faster and but needs to be cooled :D

[fabsgwu]

Okay, now that I realized that was worthless for me, how do I get rid of the Debug menu?

I like the debug menu because you can choose "open page with" any of your other browsers. Also you can select a "user agent" that makes a website think your using some other (read: Internet Explorer, etc.) browser :) You can also import bookmarks from other browsers, lots of good stuff, even for newbies..

[izzle22]

G5 Fans Fixed. Nice Job Apple!

[MegaSignal]

Trackpad fix for my 15" PowerBook! Now lets hope it works.

:D


So far, one other person with a 15" PB 1.67 (post #136) has reported that the track pad problem has been alleviated.

Please let us know if it cures your problem as well!

Staying iTuned...

[otterpop]

Yesterday, my roommate and I both recieved the iPod minis we won from the pepsi promo. Today, we get 10.3.9 . In 2 weeks, we get Tiger. Apple, just keep the gifts coming!

My dad was asking me last week "you seem pretty sold on those things". After I informed him that once the mac mini showed up on the refurb site, he would be switching from windows to mac. (i'm a good son, what can I say). Well Dad, -this- is why I'm a mac whore.

[ravenvii]

Whoa, this came out of nowhere, didn't it? Very happy to see Safari 1.3 (finally!). Installation went flawlessly for me. Here's to a great 2-week relationship until I get Tiger! :D

[SAukland]

The new two finger scrolling seems to be working a lot better also.
It used to drag, and hesitate as you quickly scrolled down a page... like finding a certain post on these long forum pages. :rolleyes:

Anybody else notice how very smooth it is? :cool:

Don't use Limewire, but since a lot of us are noticing java segfaults, I'm guessing this is the culprit.

A number of people have reported Java errors, but I haven't had them.

Not only does limewire launch, it connects. I search for "Tiger" as a test and see "Eye of The Tiger".

Many would say you're better off.

It's worth trying "java -version" from the terminal. If that doesn't return a version then you're

Can you reset the power manager on a PMG4? You can on PowerBooks and I believe it helps reset some fan issues sometimes. Sorry, I can't recall the procedure on PBooks.

(You can also zap the PRAM but I'm nor sure if that's relevant.)

[AndrewWx]

Everything is OK on my eMac. I upgraded from 10.3.8 to 10.3.9 using the combo installer downloaded from the mothership. I ran Cocktail before and after. I tried Safari on some problematic sites and they all worked.

[HAViK]

11.8.1. Segmentation Fault

A segmentation fault occurs when your program tries to access memory locations that haven't been allocated for the program's use. Here are some common errors that will cause this problem:
scanf("%d", number);

In this case, number is integer. scanf() expects you to pass it the address of the variable you want to read an integer into. But, the writer has fogotten to use the `&' before number to give scanf the address of the variable. If the value of number happened to be 3, scanf() would try to access memory location 3, which is not accessible by normal users. The correct way to access the address of number would be to place a `&' (ampersand) before number:

scanf("%d", &number);

Another common segmentation fault occurs when you try to access an array index which is out of range. Let's say you set up an array of integers:

int integers[80];

If, in your program, you try to use an index (the number within the brackets) over 79, you will ``step out of your memory bounds'', which causes a segmentation fault. To correct this, rethink your array bounds or the code that is using the array.

From Apple:Addresses an issue with Mac OS X 10.3.6 and later in which the Calculator window won't appear if the Speak Button Pressed or Speak Total options are enabled.


Thank god. It was getting to be a pain in the ass to trash the calculator prefs every time I wanted to use the damn thing.

updated a dual 1.25ghz g4 and got a kernel panic and when the computer restarted it said

dyld: -sh truncated or malformed library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (file is empty)
apr 15 21:56:44 init : single user shell terminated, restarting

no firewire devices were connected to the computer at the time. and since the crash nothing will allow me to boot it up. not target mode, not startup from cd, not starting into open firmware. nothing zilch nada.

the apple screen shows up and bam it goes to a black screen with that white text. it gets typed out then flashes then taypes out again then flashes again and again.

hopefully someone will have a fix for this.

You mentioned target mode, so do you have a working external? Can you copy the libncurses.5.dylib to /usr/lib from another box?

[jmcald]

Someone kill me...I didn't unplug my firewire hd (which has all of my school papers/projects and personal projects on it) and now it won't mount. JWHOFVIJWOPGHP (AHHHHHH)

Are you holding C while starting up? Try using Option instead. If that doesn't work, I'd personally try disconnecting the hard drive, but that might be going overboard a bit.

i wish i could get it up to copy anything. right now its an expensive door stop. all shiny and worthless

[fucanay]

it's really odd. it lets you highlight the entire window contents, even blank space and lets you drag the window around from any spot in the window.


Did you also notice that you can drag the contents to the desktop and it creates a small file with all of the text in it? I don't know if it did this before, but it's pretty cool.

Also Limewire loads fine here. I don't have any other Java programs loaded though, so I'm not sure what else would have been affected.

Cheers

On a whim, I downloaded Security Update 2005-002 from the OS X download site and reinstalled it (I had previously installed it from Software Update prior to installing 10.3.9). This fixed java and now my java based applications work!

[MCroft]

Hmm. Power down, yank the drive cable, start from CD (just to show that you can). Zap P-Ram if necessary. Then shut down again, reconnect drive, reboot from CD (or external) and see if that gets you to a place where you can manipulate the internal drive.

[Doctor Q]

I just noticed that the Control-click menu has changed for links. What used to be "Copy Link to Clipboard" is now "Copy Link". I was momentarily mystified when I looked for "Copy Link to Clipboard", thinking I had done something wrong. When I finally read the words, I saw the choice was still there under its new name.

And they were right to change it, now that I think about it. The word "Copy" means to copy something to the Clipboard, so the phrase "to Clipboard" is redundant.

[puckhead193]

And they were right to change it, now that I think about it. The word "Copy" means to copy something to the Clipboard, so the phrase "to Clipboard" is redundant.

I thought about that too.

Seems like there are some problems, i think i should hold off for a little.
Whats the point in upgrading, in 13 days were all gonna have 10.4
:p :D

[jmcald]

My firewire drive works well.


This one is a Lacie - which brand is yours?

Maybe the timing is just a coincidence. I have been having trouble mounting it at work sometimes (although it has always mounted fine at home).

[sord]

I seem to have the same problem.... I don't normally have one plugged in and didn't think of unplugging it before the update (it is my work drive).

Well I took the drive out of the firewire casing (its an IDE drive) and plugged it into my FreeBSD box. It sees it just fine, so now I'm upgrading my server (it) to 5.3 so I can read the HFS+ partition and copy everything off of it. I think my firewire firmware on the casing may be bad now though but I'm not sure yet

[rikers_mailbox]

I wonder if this is fixed?

I think I'll wait until next week to see if any problem reports surface.

How much RAM are you running on?

I recently upgraded from 256Mb to 768Mb, and the difference is night and day. I have had no more Safari beachball problems.

Another very small change in Safari. Before, pressing command-shift-up arrow/down arrow would take you to the top/bottom of the page, that keyboard shortcut no longer works. Command-shirt-left arrow/right arrow still works for navigating between tabs though.

According to
The Shortcut list (file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Shortcuts.html), it's Command Down-Arrow and Command Up-Arrow. I just use Home and End, though...

[jakubpawlowicz]

... and everything is working perfectly well.
I had no problems with repairing permissions and other issues that you've mentioned before.

All java apps I use (Eclipse 3, Tomcat 5.5 & AdvancedWebRanking 3.9) seems to work fine.

Keep up good work Apple! :)

It's still working for me. That's both with and without using shift.

[mo0805]

my stickies app no longer exists. it disappeared? i have found no way of fixing this.

My firewire drive still works great, I had it plugged in and mounted before, during and after the install.

Reinstalling security update 002, fixed java problems for me also.

Otherwise smooth and nice, everything seems faster :)

[mad jew]

...everything seems faster :)

I suppose that's really all that matters then. I'm pretty sure that it's really no different at all but my iBook does need a solid restart every now and then.

[munkle]

I've programmed without shift to control iTunes, maybe that's where the probs are coming in. No big deal, like MCroft said, the home and end keys are perfectly good enough!

[jap4n]

Found the problem - it's because i had Acidsearch installed :\

[dmarkman]

Brilliant! I too had the java problem, reinstalled the Security Update, now everything's pukka.
I think the following will do the job

sudo update_prebinding

installing any update will just launch that command

[valtheWU]

Anybody else notice that the date on the 10.3.9 updaters are April 12, 2005. Looks like Apple has been holding out on us the last three days!! :confused:

Tivo Desktop (1.9.1) doesn't seem to be working for me either.

I'm getting the java -version error, and I've noticed there's some reference to java in the crash report.

The problem is in the PC not in OS X

[earthtoandy]

yay my trackpad works good now. Problems were intermittent before but now none at all.good:)

[Multimedia]

Since 10.3.7 I have had to send, edit, send again to get every other email to leave my computer. FINALLY in 10.3.9 they always send right away. Thank GOD Apple finally figured out what was wrong with Mail and fixed it. I was beginning to think I would need a Tiger upgrade to get rid of my problem. And I was not alone in experiencing this problem. It was widespread among SBC Global DSL customers. :)

[Fredstar]

Grrr 10.3.9 has screwed up Safari and my plug ins for it, in particular Saft and it just quits as soon as i load Safari, yes i have repaired permissions

[Multimedia]

Command-shirt-left arrow/right arrow still works for navigating between tabs though.Command+Up and Down does the top bottom thing. So they just simplified it. I did not know that Command+Shift left/right navigated between Tabs. Thanks munkle. Where did you learn that anyway? :)

[Platform]

Good to see that 10.3.9 finally came but why no NTFS write support :mad:

[Duncan H]

This is the first upgrade that seems to have made any difference to me. Safari seems much better at handling lots of animation. (I expect, of course, that nothing has been changed in that area, and this is just an illusion.)

I thought I picked it up in the guide next to the command but under 'Window' in Safari it's listed as Command+{/} to navigate between tabs, how odd!

[Blue Velvet]

Safari quit on me after update. Trashed Acid Search in Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. Works fine now, but I REALLY miss Acid Search.

Dude that worked for me too. Thanks for posting this as I was really dissapointed when Safari no longer worked. I too will miss Acid Search.....no more Google UK :(

[munkle]

Another random note, if you click on a user name in the forum the profile box rolls out from the corner, I'm sure it didn't do this before. Apple gives us more eye candy - woohoo!! :p

[andiwm2003]

The default International settings for NZ are still wrong. They were wrong in 10.2.1 (first OS X I've used), I've reported the problem about 3 times, and it's still not fixed :(

sorry, but i had to.... :D :D :D

[Zaty]

Good to see that 10.3.9 finally came but why no NTFS write support :mad:

Because MS doesn't give NTFS specs to anyone. That's why there's no OS (to my knowledge) except for Windows 2000/XP that can write to NTFS 5.0 partitions. If there were drivers that allowed you to do that, they would have been written by reverse engineering. Now you also know why Tiger doesn't have NTFS write support, either.

I upgraded my 600 mhz iBook and had some problems on reboot. The gray Apple screen would come up, and then the entire machine would shut down. The battery was close to fully charged, but on a whim I plugged it into the wall and Viola, it started with no problem and now works just fine. Weird... No problems with my frankenMac file server. It's an old beige G3 desktop that I have added firewire, usb, and a 450mgz G4 processor to. I'm ExpostFacto and it works just fine, it sees my firewire drive and everything.

Installed on my PB and PM (see sig below) with no problems. Safari and Java are fine and Safari is faster for me.

There's a great blog entry from David Hyatt on the new Safari 1.3 you can read http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/hyatt/archives/2005_04.html#007962

Also this MacFixit article details the issues with Safari plugins as well as a more complex solution to the Java problem(if you have it). http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20050416011813477

Works for me. there is a Java applet on that page though. Try running Java from the Terminal. If it crashes it sounds like you have the Java problem that several others have reported. A fix that seems to work is reinstalling security update 2005-002.

Totally screwed up Safari.app and Mail.app. Since I didn't have a web-browser, I wasn't able to find out that SIMBL was at fault. After several frustrating hours struggling to get online, I bit the bullet and in a fit of rage reinstalled OSX from scratch.

Doubly angry now I've found out what was to blame, but honestly, how is it possible that Apple didn't realise the incompatibility between the new WebKit and SIMBL?!

Spending hours reinstalling all my stuff now. Next up: the whole frickin' Apple Pro suite (sans Motion, because I'm too poor). Mathematica 5.1 refuses to start: must beg Wolfram Research for a serial number. Don't have my iWork CD with me - seems to work but God knows what may be missing from the library. Fonts have been raped (no surprise there).

Etc. etc. etc.

It seems early adopters of this new OS update (10.3.9) are having some issues with Java-based programs and other applications. Do you think you can minimize or reduce the chance of problems if you install the combo update for 10.3.9? Maybe the other posters who said they had problems with this update downloaded from the software update feature from System Preferences. Any comment on this?

Yup. I may have been unclear. The Update didn't rape the fonts: my angry reinstallation did. Most of them ended up in /Previous System/Previous System 1/ but some of them didn't.

Infuriating, but it shouldn't worry most users.

[YS2003]

I used my Ti PB as a guinea pig for the 10.3.9 update. It had 10.3.8. Now after the successful combo update from Apple website, I cannot use Safari anymore as it does not open. I guess I will keep my 15" PB at 10.3.8 (working well without problems) and my 12" PB at 10.3.7 (working well without problems). I think the old adage comes into play: if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Repair permissions before the download and after the donwload (X2). Re-start twice to no avail.

My Safari is proper screwed up because of 10.3.9. It won't open, it just crashes (repaired permissions twice)

10.3.9 is working OK for me so far, except that Safari 1.3 has killed PithHelmet! :eek:

The Internet....it's full of ads....

It's working good for me, no problems so far.

Since the update, Safari (1.3) crashes whenever I visit this page: www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp

Does the same thing happen to anyone else?
Works for me too:

Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)
Downstream 1443 Kbps (180.4 KB/sec) 1558 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 772 Kbps (96.5 KB/sec) 833 Kbps (inc. overheads)

I just reinstalled Security Update 2005-02 (tip from Apple forum) and it cured my Java problem. Java is now working fine with Safari.
That's amusing. I left that tip on the Apple Forum based on kc8apf's message in this thread.

Any word on whether this fixes the missing mouse pointer on wake for powerbooks? If not, I'm going to throw a serious fit.

It seems other forums are also reporting Safari's crash (apple forum on safari crash (http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@751.FRqyaTa6X19.8@.68ac4131)
I re-installed 2005-002 security patch as other posters commented in the previous posts; but, Safari does not launch on my Ti PB.

No one has mentioned OpenGL

Immediately after this update, I was able to increase my video settings on World Of Warcraft by a SUBSTANTIAL amount, running on my lowly dual 867 G4

Has anyone else noticed better performance in games? Tell me I'm not going mad, I found the increase to be quite astounding

Everyone having Java problems, you need to download the security update at:

Enjoy!

Ok got Safari working, unfortunately you guys have to uninstall/delete ALL the files associated with plug ins, such as search for acidsearch/saft/safari enhancer and delete all of the files. Got my Safari working again.

BIGGEST improvement is the resizing!! So smooth and much much much nicer! Very pleased and also start up times are noticeably faster.

Wow, going back on these forums will now actually return you to your previous position down on the page like its supposed to! And it only took 6 months to fix :rolleyes:

Safari won't load any graphics on news.bbc.co.uk

I cannot believe java doesn't work - I need Java working for work.. i hope reapplying the security fix works...
