Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.4.9

rEFIt and Debian installed on your MacBook? Yep, seems like those would be a likely candidate for causing your problems. Might I suggest fink and Mac OS X instead of Debian? ;)

Have you tried booting in single user mode and seeing if that works OK?

I can boot into debian A-OK, I'm saying I get a kernel panic when I try to boot into the recently-updated Mac OS X.

(unless I'm misunderstanding you and you're saying there's a way to boot into single user mode with OS X)
 
iTunes Scroll Bars Fixed!

No one seems to have mentioned this, but the iTunes scroll bar no longer scrolls when clicking on the bar!

I am glad that this was just a bug, and not the new direction they were going to take with scroll bars in Leopard.
 
iTunes = Dead

After installing the update my iTunes won't start anymore. It just hangs when it should bring up the program window. It also cannot be force quit, only logging out helps.

I trashed everything that goes along itunes (even the .pkgs from Library/Receipts) and reinstalled the app. Didn't help. I even made a new user to see if something was wrong with my current one – still nothing. PrivilegeFix.app didn't help.

Does someone know a trick to fix this? The good thing is my Logitech USB headset seems to work now, but if I had to choose between that and iTunes, I'd rather take iTunes.

Man, what a close call.

I was able to boot into single user mode. As soon as I ran /etc/rc, though, I got an invalid frame pointer kernel error in the smbfs module. I rebooted, made the disk writable and edited /etc/fstab, commenting out my samba filesystems entirely. Now I can boot fine!

So the moral of the story is beware of Samba and 10.4.9, it seems.
 
Forgot to say thanks, dr_lha. But about your recommendation to ditch debian; I'm surprised this update hosed my system - I haven't had a problem upgrading my debian boxes in years. I thought this was the kind of thing that was supposed to be easier when switching to a mac :)
 
Anyone know why im getting update_ prebindings intel and power pc every time I boot into os x? It's slowing startup dramatically! This has only been happening since the 10.4.9 update :confused:

Ok Here it goes... Hope it does not break anything! Specically my Parallels.:)

It seems to have broken the combo drive on my 1st gen MacBook. I was ripping a cd into itunes while I was updating, restarted, inserted another disc, and nothing. System profiler says there are no ATA devices, and no disc burning, either.
 
No problems at all with 1.5 G4 PB, apart from the wonderful improvement in volume - much easier for watching DVDs!

As for this new support for USB UVC cameras, I'm wondering if that is to allow the iPhone to act as a web-cam when connected vis a USB sync cable:cool:

nig.
 
nokia e61 isyncs now as well

had a plugin installed, after the update that plugin was thrown out i guess.

isync works like a breeze.
 
I have a MBP C2D and was wondering if it was just me. At first I thought the keymappings for the CD Eject key were not working or something. I had put in a a CD's and they would not eject, but it looks like one of the improvements was 'debounce' on the eject key (which I have hit my mistake). I single push does not eject on my computer after the update. You have to hold it down. It could just be that I don't remember having to do that.

Hmm - the old sleep shortcut of Cmd-Alt-Eject no longer seems to work. I don't know if this is just on my system or whether this what you mention above. If they have changed this, does anyone know what they have changed it too?

Still working OK for me.
 
my max volume is lounder as well.

my max volume is lounder as well.

this is great - was it documented anywhere - and why did it take so long to get patched/rolled out. I always wondered why my imac volume was so wussy.
 
So many bugs... Apple must have done something drastic here. One theory I read was that Apple was going to add some forward-compatibility with Leopard in their last major release before it - if the last release is indeed 10.4.9, then that could explain some things...

But if there are so many bugs, how did Apple not catch them? Perhaps it was one programmer who simply made a last minute change, or forgot to include a file, and "oops". If it was something so simple, we might see a patch in the next few days.

If it is forward-compatibility, though, there is a possibility that there will be no patches.

For the record, the update went perfectly on my MacBook Pro. Haven't tried it on my iMac, or my family's other iMac, MacBook, or PowerBook. Bit scared to now, actually.

Indeed they do. Does this perchance mean long-awaited support for the nVidia 7950GX2 that I put in my MacPro? One can only hope.

Not a hope without nVidia's blessing and they don't seem to want to support SLI on an intel board. Bit of a waste of money really...
