Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2138/8S138)

omg is that when u update or do something, and later on ur system just flat out crashes and burns because some weird system folder is missing all the files?? :(
That has happened to me i hate that!

Yep, what file goes missing (becomes zero in size) depends on how lucky/unlucky you are - if you make sure no apps are running when Software Update runs and finishes you have a chance of being safe.

One would think with so many updates flowing they would fix this bug as priority #1 - but better late than never, let's hope that it gets fixed in 10.4.11.

... Finder is the weakest link for me...

For a piece of OSX that get used every day, Finder is definitely not Apple worthy. I hope Leopard version is better. Does anybody know?

Totally agree.

Could add to that a whole bunch of annoyances about Finder:
- searching for Entourage emails shows some filename corruption
- searching doesn't show the filesize
- maximum size for columns (there's some very big filenames I need to know about!)
- Wish there was a way of collecting all folders together a-la Windows 'splorer
- slideshow sometimes doesn't show all selected files

Sure I could go on.

Anyone who knows for sure is under NDA, and their opinion is subjective anyways. As for if bug fixes made it, that depends on if the other people using Leopard have the same usage patterns that bring out the bug.

LOL funny:D. My cat just goes in my lap and bites my hand when I use it to move the mouse.

It's great to see Apple still fully supporting Tiger, and still fixing it, eventhough Leopard is around the corner.

Heck, they still support Panther. They came out with a 10.3.9 update too.

Nah, 10.4.10 should have been 10.4.A and now .11 .B ;)

Ooooh hex! I like.

From Reboot, the TV show:

... face to face to face to face to face with Hexadecimal!

Compile 'em all said:
Not really. Not all people switch to the next new OS once it is released. I bet there are still many Panther and OS 9 :eek: users out there .
Click to expand...

Hi there, OS 9 user coming out of the woodwork. I have 2 machines with OS 9, one slowly and buggily emulated, the other with a mostly broken keyboard. Have to use Windows for most everything. :(

But new iMacs on Tuesday, so I'm good :D:D:D

Might i recommend Path Finder, it even seems to be faster than Finder when transferring files between volume amongst other tons of goodies. Great app.

True. I did not think of the NDA.
 
This is a feature, not a bug

Glenny2lappies said:
The one bug that is a right PITA is the bluetooth/wireless mouse driver crash. This is where you're using the wireless Mightymouse, close the lid of the Macbook or MBP and take it home. Then you discover it's not suspended and has been slowly cooking in your bag - not to mention consuming all the battery.
Click to expand...

This is default behavior. To prevent it from happening, just turn off your Bluetooth mouse before closing the lid. OR... disable the behavior in System Preferences | Bluetooth pane, by unchecking "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer"
 
Speaking of 8600 drivers, can someone pleas clarify if the G8600GT is a DX10 card or not?

Unfortunately my system has this setting on and it still happens.

The problem is that it's very easy to just close the lid, stick the lappie in the bag and go. Then the mouse is on the desk and the lappie miles away.

It's even crashed with the mouse sitting beside it.

Has anyone else had problems with Bluetooth and mice crashing?

My machine is a new SR MBP from this recent revision. If I awaken it with the lid closed by clicking the mouse, it automatically goes bck to sleep after a few seconds, unless I reawaken it with more mouse clicks. Since Bluetooth is a short-range link, it won't reawaken if I take the machine and leave the mouse behind.

More details here . See the post titled "Shock and Awe: How Installing Apple's Updates can Render Your Mac Unbootable and How You Can Prevent it ". It's scary.

Ohhhhhh crap...

Can't believe this wasn't fixed in 10.4.10. Really wish I'd known this before the bunch of updates I did yesterday and today. Oh well-- nothing horrible yet...
 
Safari Bug

G-Force said:
I agree with you there, this feature hasn't worked without problems for ages in my experience. First it didn't work at all when you clicked it once (like Mitthrawnuruodo stated, you had to click it twice to make it effective) and now with 10.4.10 it does work for me, until I restart the computer... what's up with that. My iMac doesn't need screen dimming, it's really annoying when watching YouTube videos...

I also would like to see this Safari bug fixed. And yes, it is a bug, I filed it at Apple and I got the response that Apple Engineering knew about the problem and was investigating it. :)
Click to expand...

I come to this site everyday and other sites and I read how bad Safari is etc., or read about every other bug that people have problems with....Safari won't open any pages, or it quits all the time, or there is a sleep issue...

I guess I am one of the lucky ones, Safari never quits on me, I have no problems with sleep, or with OS X at all. IT has been a very very smooth ride for a long time now!
 
I hope this fixes the Finder issues I have been having.

The Finder takes all my CPU power then if I relaunch, it won't and only way out is a hard re-boot. :mad:
 
theBB said:
That article is more than a year old. I guess they just gave up on fixing it. I'd think it would be pretty easy to fix. It is just a simple setting.
Click to expand...
I know. It came up around the time I got my MacBook in May last year, and they haven't even bothered to add the iMacs, some of which seems to have the same bug...

Well, well, if 10.4.11 doesn't fix it, there's always 10.4.12 or Leopard... :rolleyes:

There are reported issues with Bluetooth:

I hope this release fixes them

No need to wait for 10.4.11, mate. Airport Update 2007-004 has been available on Software Update since yesterday. Fixed it for me.
Click to expand...

Installed it. Doesn't appear to have made much difference, to the extent that I'm having to post this reply from a different machine because the MacBook can't hold the internet connection over Airport long enough to submit this post!

Really, really hoping this gets fixed soon ...

Cheers

Jim

I like the fact that Apple are prepared to fix the current operating system knowing they are soon to release a new one. Unlike MS whose attitude differs somewhat on how to get a fix for a software problem, they force you to buy the new version!
Click to expand...
What the hell are you carrying on about? Microsoft supports their OS's for at least ten years. There are STILL updates to XP and Vista is out. There are even STILL updates for Windows 98 released! The MAC community in large is so disillusioned to anything outside of Apple it makes me feel sick sometimes to be a part of it.
Click to expand...

Even the forum shows that attitude - I've been reading and posting from my phone for years (at 3G broadband speeds with cut-and-paste), but now that Apple has a semi-smart phone the forum has been updated and we see the "wirelessly posted" header....

It's the bug where when you set the screen to not automatically dim to save power, but when you restart the computer it switches back to dimming.
The bug I want fixed is when you change your junk mail to automatically delete the junk when mail is quit it only works once, the next time you start mail it is back to do nothing.
Click to expand...

might i suggest a reinstall, as mine no longer does that.
