I've never seen that weather application before, looks kind of neat. Where can one find it?
 
Anyone find any "real" improvements yet?

"The 10.2.4 Update delivers enhanced functionality and improved reliability for the following applications, services and technologies: Address Book, Classic compatibility, Finder, FireWire, Graphics, OpenGL, and Sherlock. It includes AFP and Windows file service improvements, as well as audio, disc recording, graphics, and printing improvements."


Ignoring the above and it's non-specific ways... has anyone here actually found or noticed a difference? (preferably positive)

Example- with 10.2.3 there was a noticable change it re-draw times... anything along those or any lines with 10.2.4?

Just curious to know before I blindly install it.
Thanks.

Its a konfabulator widget (one of the ones it comes with) http://www.konfabulator.com Looks like it could be a promising utility if people would stop just making clocks and news tickers for it.

My iMovie launches faster without a doubt. I'll say 50% faster. Thanks Apple!

I'll be the judge of that. Lets count the bonces on my iMac 800.
On 5 the screen load it stops bouncing on 6.

A slight improvment over 8 bonces. :D

I had the issue of the opening Volumes directory when I connected to the AFP shares on my Netware 6 server.

Now they seem to work fine ;)

Now if only Novell would support filenames longer than 32 characters in their AFP implementation. Because they just cut of longer ones at this time :(

Maybe everything is more "speedy." I might be tripping...

I think you might be right. Everything seems to be a bit "snappier."

I was thinking about performing a clean install to grab a little more "snappiness." Now that 10.2.4 is out, maybe I'll do it this weekend. Time to backup the data!

Once again, nice job Apple!
 
Thursday afternoon? Anyone else feel this one really came out of left feild?
 
But no 10.2.4 Server yet.

The non-server update is there, but not the server version. Generally they come out at the same time...wonder what is up.

nah. as far as i remember, there's no history of any particular pattern of os update releases...


maya now works again! (with gf4ti) whoo! that's what i was hoping for.
 
Any good horror stories?

I'm sitting put on 10.2.3 through the weekend. Especially after getting bit by the iTunes 2.0 volume-eating installer bug two years ago.

Happy 'venturing!

:)
 
Browers won't work

I installed 10.2.4 and now I cannot access any browers. They *all* crash when I try to run.

I have restarted the machine numerous times... but still all browsers - give "Application Unexpectantly Quit" error

help???

I had that problem a while ago with 10.2.3
I had force quit a stuffit expander installer (not a bright thing to do as it turned out), and NO browser would work after that. FTP, Mail etc. were all ok. Bad news is: I had to re-install the OS. Try repairing permissions and post to MacFixit to see if there is a better way.
good luck.

First try repairing permissions. If that doesn't work backup your bookmarks then delele the preferences and .plist files. If that doesn't work try reinstalling the program.
 
Pismo Battery Issue Fixed

Finally since 10.2, 10.2.4 fixed the problem with my Pismo 500 that when the laptop was plugged in and fully charged, the battery menu was say Calculating when under show time, 100% under show percent, and the icon was the charging icon. Now, finally it says plugged in when fully charged like other PBs and iBooks and shows the plug icon!
 
Well it seems to boot a little faster, but finder operations seem to be a little slower, noticably with opening/closing new windows. They did fix the desktop icon bug which is helpful. Also freed up a bunch of room on my system hard drive, that was suprising. Anyways thats all i have noticed so far, hope i was helpful.
 
Just installed it on my 17" iMac 800. Menu text seems to have changed - sharper?

Update added the 'input flag' to my menu bar and this proved difficult to get rid of, even though I only had one type selected. (Got rid of the flag by selecting another type, then going back to one).

Oh and I got a shock when it restarted into some horrible stretched 1024x768 screen mode!

Haven't noticed much else yet.
 
i notice these 2 new utilities:

Bluetooth Serial Utility
Bluetooth Setup Assistant


will see what they do tommorow when i get my USB bluetooth module back from a friend.

Could be that it recognizes your computer as an LCD iMac and usess a reduced level of smoothing.

To get rid of or rearange any icon drop down menu in the finder menu bar you can use hold the option? key and click and drag it around or drag it off the menu bar to get rid of it. Also the flag menu is in the system preferences under languages? I believe. You can turn it on and off from there.

Sorry about the question marks and slight uncertainty. I am currently at work on a PC and not at home where I can verify what I remember.
 
10.2.4 Konfabulous!

Konfabulous !!!

I love my TiBook more and more everyday ;)
Now I know why the Dell (laptop) user in my Art history class keeps eyeballing me! I'll have to get a wrist cord like they have on surf boards.. but only for my TiBook!!!

**I use my TiBook to take notes in class @ school **
Art history is a 2 hour slide lecture in the dark ; ) so my long lasting battery and ultra sharp (even when dimmed way down) screen are making the PC laptop users jealous ; ) Muhahahaha!!!!

:D

I think the build number varies according to what computer you have (eg ibook vs powermac). Can anyone confirm this?


Edit: The only sad part about this update is after 8 days of uptime I will have to reboot my iBook. Aren't macs great :)
