10.2.4

I'm getting pissed. my custom finder icon left, and i can't get it back using the normal means. it's that ugly blue mac smile, it doesn't fit with any of my other icons. this is really annoying me!

anyone know what the deal is?
 
THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT!!!

Come on guys, I can't believe no one has even mentioned this improvement. It better show up in the apple document...


If you look in the "About this Mac" window the copyright date now goes to 2003!!! And just think I thought the New Year was a month and half ago. BEHOLD THE APPLE NEW YEAR!!!! FEBRUARY 13TH!!!!
 
grrrr.. why does apple always turn on auto-updating after every update? It's my internet connection, not theirs >_<

looks like the bug in the photoshop file browser has been fixed though (it seems a bit faster too)
 
I'll run Xbench, upgrade and then run Xbench again.

That should sort out and speed increase issues.
 
Quartz extreme enabled!

🙂
Have 2 monitors setup and before the update I couldn't have quartz extreme enabled, now Quartz Extreme Check says both monitors are accelerated. Great!

I also find the computer a little faster.

Wow, not only that, this is apparently the 20th anniversary of the MacOS. 😎
 
If this does what I think it does, CD burning finally won't be a pain in the butt without toast:

From the k-base article
Further improves an enhancement introduced with Mac OS X 10.2.3, in which files and folders specific to Mac OS file systems are no longer copied to the disc when burning a CD.

This is just funny:

Improves wording in the progress indicator window when copying a large file to an iDisk or WebDAV volume ("5 seconds remaining" could previously for much longer than five seconds).

They may have improved wording in the copy box, but not on their info article...

Seems like a solid update. I just hope if can fix my sleep problem by some odd chance...
 
Well, the biggest thing I notice is the 4x FSAA finally works in Jedi Knight II. This is a most welcome enhancement for me.
 
they must have done something to crank
up quartz extreme. my folder windows resize a lot better. however in adobe acrobat i notice a
glitche when trying to put my document window
up tight agaisnt the top tool bar in acrobat.

Well, repairing disk permissions helped me for the first time ever. earlier i posted that after getting OS X 10.2.4, my finder icon WOULD NOT change from the default icon. after repairing them, everything worked fine. how weird is that? [not very]

i bought CandyBar tonight. what a fun little program.
 
Well, even though Xbench seems to disagree, my 800 MHz 17" iMac seems quite a bit snappier. Almost all of the OS X interface lag is gone on my machine. iMovie is smoother now (thank god) and the whole machine just runs quicker. Anyone else noticing this?

i popped iMovie up for a few seconds and fooled around. it WAS quite a bit faster--at least on the load time.

I think snappier is the right adjective. I've been looking for an improvement and it all seems to be in responsiveness.

For me, nothing seems to be broken so it's one more positive update.
 
FIRST POST

THIS IS MY FIRST POST ON MY FIRST MAC!

Anywho, I just downloaded 10.2.4. It seems to boot a little faster. Window re-sizing is also much better. I have been having problems with finder hanging with airport and hopefully this will correct it. GREAT SITE!
 
Between the update and me setting up a striped RAID, I'd say I noticed some welcomed speediness....


time to work on the uptime again.. (not work at all really 🙂

Yeah, same here with my iBook 466 SE. Don't see much speed improvement. I even think it took longer to boot after restart.

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

You think that sucks!? I had to reboot my iBook after having it up for almost 60 days (58 to be exact) when The 10.2.3 update arived 😉

Oh, and As a side note I delayed installing it for about 3 days.
