After updating and rebooting, my four firewire hard drives disappeared off the desktop and cannot make them appear. I have rebooted the Mac and the hard drives. It is as if firewire disappeared!

You should probably just wait for Safari 4.0.6 to fix that minor problem...
Maybe they're mounted and just not on the desktop? Try Disk Utility to see if they're recognized at all.
If not, I'd unplug them and restart, then plug one in while logged in to see if it mounts. Good luck.

I updated and have a f/w 800 G-Tech external drive. It shows up fine. You might try going to Finder>Preferences>General and unchecking, then rechecking the External disks box.
 
correct≠wrong

A percentage is any value out of 100 or '1'. He is correct, you could make enough stuff so 99.999% does make thousands of lemons.

He is not right.

100%-99.999%=0.001%

0.001% of 1,000,000=10

While we perfectly understand the point he is trying to make, his math is way wrong.
 
The Dock icon is different

You know, getting back to the question about the icon being different, I think it really has changed.

It's very subtle, but the one in my dock appears to have a slightly thinner rim and more blue space.

Am I imagining this? Am I the only one?

EDIT: Nah, it's the same. My bad.
 
Apple make far more than 1,000,000 computers now dont they? ;)

Yes. But he did say "a million," didn't he? ;)

On a much happier and less argumentative note: I wouldn't mind if just 0.001% of Apple's saved up fortune magically appeared in front of me tomorrow. That would be very, very nice.:eek::):D

Only money?

Tisk Tisk, youre thinking so small. I want one of the engineers to divide by zero and make computers fall from the sky. ;)
 
Yes, I know. And if^H when Microsoft did that, there was howling and gnashing of teeth, wasn't there.

Nope, there was gnashing of teeth because every single update required a restart, would often restart your computer without asking or - even worse - download the update in the background before asking your permission.
 
No, If it were Windows the whole thing would take less than 1 Min and ....No reboot needed :)

Windows & handles this quite nice.

Strange that say anything good about windows but every now and then......

:D

I'm loving people who talk as though clued-up about computer issues complain about a restart for the safari update, it's as if they really have no idea what is involved with this update and what it's actually updating.

opinion > knowledge.

Safari seems snappier now ;)
 
This update is recommended for all Safari users and includes improvements to performance, stability, and security including:

- Performance improvements for Top Sites
- Stability improvements for 3rd-party plug-ins
- Stability improvements for websites with online forms and Scalable Vector Graphics
- Fixes an issue that prevented Safari from changing settings on some Linksys routers

The performance enhancements for top sites are very drastic for me. Too bad the only two times I can remember using it was twenty minutes ago on 4.0.4 and just now on 4.0.5. Meh.

What I really want want to know is how I can scroll around in Safari in sites that use scalable vector graphics to show info or pictures (e.g. a big user of this is wikipedia.) One specific link for you all to look at as an example of what I'm looking at is a wikipedia page for display resolutions. In Safari and Chrome for me this forces me to only be able to view the upper-left hand corner of the graphic, while in Firefox I can view the whole thing by moving around as I would on a large picture viewed at 100%. Anyway to enable Firefox usability in Safari?

I haven't noticed anything on the other enhancements, yet.

Only money?

That sounds like that would hurt. I don't want to have to walk around with a hardhat on all the time.
 
<---Idiot Right here.

Apple Consumer Electronics (ACE) should have fixed the issue with Top Sites months ago. The fact that fixes are still being pushed out by ACE, is a troubling fact indeed.

Oh, and don't get me started on the cluster XXXXX that is Aperture 3 from ACE, or the dated PowerMac era designs of the MacPro and 30 inch ACE-CD. Geeze, the design in 7 years old. To give perspective here, seven years ago, Kevin Costner was relevant to cinema - yep really makes you think.

Okay Full of Fail, whatever you say! Also, who is Apple Consumer Electronics? Calling them Apple Computer inc. is bad enough, considering they dropped the name close to three years ago. Don't worry, I get the joke but this update basically makes it flop. =/

Also, this update makes Safari "seem snappier" and it might be totally just plain luck but. Adobe flash hasn't crashed yet since this update like it has been off and on all week =D
 
- Fixes an issue that prevented Safari from changing settings on some Linksys routers

Hmmm, wonder if this also addresses the problem with the BT Home Hub (which is actually a Thompson Speedtouch device) whereby you can't get into Advanced Settings - enter username and password but the Advanced options don't appear in the left-hand menu.

Download the WebKit Nightly. It scales properly giving one the vertical/horizontal pair of scrollbars to respect the original size of the SVG and allowing one to see it all.

Safari 4.0.5 is a bug fix for less pressing matters.

The next major revision of Safari adds a lot more capabilities than 4.0.5.

Hardware accelerated on Leopard [not just Snow Leopard] when WebGL configured is now working.

Right now they are testing against Flash 10.1.d51 to work around bug crashers in Flash.

I don't know if they will bump it to Safari 4.1 or 5.0 but the next major version will have 3D Transforms, WebGL hardware accelerated graphics, SVG 1.2 compliance and more of the HTML 5 spec.

True, if you're still using Windows 98. :rolleyes:

And you can actually decide if you want Windows to download and install updates automatically. Unlike certain other OS-ses, Windows leaves the choice to you.
