Damn - I was reading about the Aperture thing and must have skimmed right past it.WildCowboy said:MacsRgr8 took care of it in post #17...let's not go there.

(be even better when the price of 2 GIGS of RAM is cheap enough to bend my wallet)
Sigh, I'm waiting for my G4 powerbook to get back from "the shop" - 5 days before Apple Care expired (whew!) I took it in for both the LCD white spot issue and because the video card appeared to be going south. So of course this week everyone else gets OS updates and Aperture updates to play with...
This repair is taking longer than I'm used to - in the past I'd take a computer in Monday, and get it back Thursday. Now it's "on hold" with parts on order, and it's been a week already. Sheesh, I'm spoiled I guess.
So we'll have to wait and see if Safari "seems snappier to me" after I get my 'book back...

oh how fun!
No, this release has nothing to do with Merom.
They release software updates either with, or after a new product comes out.

Yeah, I read that before. I was just wondering why it happens.
I did not know if it was firmware or something.
It is most likely nothing significant.
I download the combo version (294MB Intel) mostly because I live in fear of my connection dropping out half way through software update and partly for friends who are on dial up. I also like to have it if for any reason I need to do a full reinstall.
It's probably a bit far for you to pop over to a U.K. Apple Store and update it there, but you might contact Apple and ask about having all of the new software updates sent to you on media for a nominal fee.riciad said:
Has anyone gotten an update that way?
You could also ask a friend with a high-speed connection to do that for you. Like Bern!

its really snappier
i've used pacifist to peep whatz inside the update
it did update webkit/webcore
At the very least, you could start downloading them now, then transfer them to the iMac when it arrives.Doctor Q said:
i downloaded 10.4.8 and it wouldnt boot! i got a dark grey screen instead of the blue appple screen. Then i did it again but reset pram. then it just sat at the apple screen loading for a few minutes, so i restarted. Same thing, but it reset by itself, o then the 3rd time i let it stay and it worked. i hope it ends up being ok. I only downloaded it because i was hoping for apertre 1.5, but of course its nto out yet

Good. Hope that deals with memory leaks for some dashboard widgets that do their business over the net.
That one seemed to crop up suddenly in 10.4.7

It is a Powermac. I am typing on this computer now. No issues since that hiccup so far. Both my G4s with the update seem to be OK also!
I am going to run some utilities to ensure this is going to be stable.
As was pointed out to me, though, that doesn't tell us why. I suspect, as do others, that it's firmware, but, since all 3 of my Intel Macs seem to be running fine afterward, I don't really care.Doctor Q said:
