EDIT2: Just updated, so far so good. With Safari 3 now in Tiger, the incentive to use Leopard has been further reduced....at least for now

good choice,stay away from leopard for now.i made the mistake of installing that piece of $@$% and am back in tiger.have been using safari 3 in beta in tiger anyways so no biggie but nice to see a final.
we'll see how the 10.5.1 update pans out but unless it's magic,i am not touching it with a 10 foot pole.so far leopard is absolute trash on my mac pro

Anyone know how to remove the pop up window that asks if i really want to close safari with multiple windows/tabs open? It doesn't have the little box to say don't bother me again like windows does. I don't want this to be windows!!!
Click to expand...

It's in the Preferences>Tabs section - 'confirm when closing multiple pages'
 
can anyone please tell me the version of the AppleFWaudio.kext driver, located in /system/library/extensions/ ?

is it still the same, buggy 2.1.0 ?

If they got rid of brushed metal in itunes why cant they do the same with safari? Keeping it for no reason is just stupid.

The brushed metal comes from system-wide images, I believe. I installed UNO ages ago, so I haven't seen brushed metal (in Safari or any other app) since.

I highly recommend it, if you're still using Tiger. :)

Why does everyone have a problem with the brushed metal? I think it's kinda cool looking!
 
Mac Pro can now connect to BEFW11S4!

Incredible - after seventeen months or so without WPA-authenticated connectivity to my Linksys BEFW11S4, this issue seems to be fixed!

Did you do Archive and Install? That minimizes potential conflicts caused by third party software.

Downloaded 10.4.11 combo. To install or not to install...
 
I know this update is not iMac specific but is there any chance that this update will help the freezing iMac problems? Does anyone know if update 10.4.11 includes any graphics drivers or firmware updates or are these always distributed separately?

Thanks,
Craig.

Why are you using such a slow wireless router in this day & age? You must be on a very old computer with Wireless-B?:(

Maybe this person is happy with the router they have, or can't afford to upgrade. It certainly doesn't mean they have to have an old computer to use wireless B

My Mac Pro just celebrated it's first anniversary. It's not that old! As to wireless - does 802.11b support less bandwidth than my consumer DSL service? I don't think so. So I think it still makes sense to continue using it for internet access. Also, other wireless devices, including a G4 iBook, a PC, a PSP, a Palm Lifedrive, have always been able to connect via this Linksys router - so why not a modern Mac?

I've actually thought about the wireless upgrade quite a bit - there will be a Cisco 857w in the home network in the future. I just hope the Mac Pro will connect!
 
Just a warning-- the update corrupted a coworkers machine. Not sure what happened exactly-- came up with a dialog saying "OS Update encountered a problem" or some such and fell over. He's doing an archive and install from CD now.
 
3rd Party USB Microphone Support

FINALLY... what 10.4.10 took away 10.4.11 gave back

I bought a Logitech Webcam with integrated mic the day before 10.4.10 came out... and bang that upgrade broke all the 3rd party USB mics... but this update put it back and it works just fine now
 
Soo, very tempted to download this update, but...

I have UNO running. Do i have to restore to Aqua to install the update? And does UNO work on 10.4.11?

Thanks!

This should tide me over 'til I purchase Leopard in a month or two after its become more stable.

Upgrading to a g base station has increased my throughput from about 1500kbps to 2500kbps. You never get the theoretical maximum data rate or range with WiFi, so the new versions still improve the performance even for regular users. Unless you have the cheap, less than 1Mbps DSL line, upgrading might still make sense.

UNO probably won't work. Historically, it's required an update for every new 10.4.x release.
