Quickdraw? What? Didn't Apple phase that out in like 10.1?

It seems to have links with safari and mail and a buffer overflow could cause a malicous script to be executed or something to that affect (from the security info on the apple site)

just because i like the name Ruby (god knows what it is though) im gonna download this. then back up all my drives because im running out of free space! gardarnit!

ooo seemingly new iPod update too. lets hope this enables the G5 processor. damn i wanna play real-life Tetris using the 'pod as a virtual wand controller now.

Interesting that they're getting to things before Secunia reports them as trouble. Take that, Secunia!

Installed and no problems yet...

I also see an iPod updater for the Shuffle. Anyone else see it?

it updates all the iPod range. so it seems. i dont get this theres no news about this anywhere, not even here? i thought i may have been the only one. or the FIRST! or maybe not...

fine on my end

installed, everything is running ok...

WOF, WOF - DAWG

QuickDraw was basically moth balled back when Mac OS X came out being superseded by Quartz 2D. Of course it continues to work to this day in Mac OS X however it hasn't seen any optimizations made in a long time. As of Mac OS X 10.4 Apple considers it fully deprecated and it is likely it will disappear in a future major release of Mac OS X.

With resolution independent display support almost ready to go in Mac OS X 10.4 Apple wants QuickDraw to go away.

Likely the products referenced use it for PICT support but that is about it.

I had no problem downloading it. I have also got the iPod updater, but it hasn't bring any new updates for my model.

Grrrrrrrr... So close!

I want my iPod color update! Those nano people get Screen Lock, World Clock, Stopwatch, Lyrics, and a tweaked UI! Me want!

MWSF Maybe? With the iPod 5G if it comes out?

a big, fatty, for Shuffle bug fixes. Mine behaves oddly sometimes... it forgets where it is in the playlist, always starting on the same song from a power-off state. Or sometimes it just stops playing and flashes green until I reset it! Cuh-razy

Security update on a Thursday? I think we will see 10.4.3 next week. (wild speculation)

Ruby is a programming language. Cross-platform. (Linux/Win/Mac)

despite the fact their is a new ipod software update out, it does not contain updates to the ipod photo or color ipods at all.. ~sigh~ maybe next time.. i would think the 3d world clocks and the stopwatch that are implemented in the nano would be an easy firmware addition to the photo/color series ipods.

Shuffle update?!

Holy crap, I've GOT to download this! Hope it fixes that Podcast bug that makes it think the beginning of the cast in the middle of it.

Will post update.
