Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.4.9

Release Numbers

Apple will never release OSX versions:
10.4.10
10.4.11

It'll confuse too many Apple users - take this forum as an example, enough people really think that after 10.4.9 will appear... 10.5.0... just like magic...

Thanks for that statistic. Leopard is less than a month away in my opinion.

Yea I don't care what others say about leopard being far from finished. It makes sense that it would be released shortly after 10.4.9 has been completed. Keep your fingers crossed everyone!:D

10.2.8 was released on October 3, 2004, followed by the release of 10.3 on October 24 (21 days later).

10.3.9 was released April 15, 2005 followed by the release of 10.4 14 days later, on April 29.

Leopard must be close.

hmm if they keep on following that pattern, then it means that 10.4.9 was released on March 13, 2007 followed by the release of 10.5 7 days later, on March 21st.

21 days, 14 days, 7 days.

i doubt i'm right, but who knows.
 
YAY!!

But what does this mean?

I hope not, many developers have reported that OSX 10.5 have critical bugs still ( and not fit for release ).

Hopefully Tiger won't be Apple's equivalent of Vista.

Apple have stated Spring 07, so Apple should take the extra time to avoid another 10.4.0 ( and worse, Vista quality ) release.

*Thats Spring in the northern hemisphere :-D so Tiger isn't late yet.

My 163MB PPC Combo Download Only Has 4 Hours 5 Minutes To Go. Oh well. I've always been a Combo only kind of guy. I guess there's no reason to change now.

Here's the link to the 10.4.9 Combo Page - 163MB

If history is any indication, Leopard by the end of April is a wildly conservative-pessimistic prediction. ;)
 
Includes iChat support for USB Video Class webcams.

Is this new? This would have been nice back in December so I could have gotten my parents a cheaper webcam instead of an iSight for video chat. Of course, Apple must have known what they were doing, getting that holiday revenue up. :rolleyes: ;)

Surely you mean Leopard, not Tiger. 10.4.9 = Tiger. 10.5.0 = Leopard.
 
Patch size = point release imminent?

Does anybody recall if the final 10.2.x or 10.3.x patches were significantly larger than previous ones (for forward compatability)? 163MB seems pretty hefty. :confused:

Guess this is obviously the final 10.4.x release regardless.
 
Any word on what the new iSync supported phones are? My SE z525a has never been able to send or receive an SMS through Address Book.
 
Wooo, downloading now! :D

Also can someone confirm... is USB video conferencing support for iChat new or is Apple simply updating it as if it was there before? Either way it's about time! This will make many iChat users happy, I'm sure.

10.5 can't be too far now! :)
 
On my computer (powerpc) its only showing the download as 52.7. Should I download the combo update? is there an advantage to this?

Also, it showes that there is an airport update available, but it doesn't suggest it as needed, should I download this? I don't use airport, but I do a wireless network when I'm at work.

If it is hefty (and I don't know how it compares to previous releases), it may mean that this is definitely the last Tiger update, and includes some limited compatibility with upcoming Leopard features. Or maybe the iPhone bluetooth profile is just that huge. Or maybe it includes a 720p trailer for Cars.
