Apple Still Working on 10.4.11

I hope they sort out some of the crashing issues.

My Mac is three and half years old, and had only "Kernel Panic'd" a couple of times in the three years. But now it does it when unplugging an iPod (randomly, as far as I can tell), and when a bluetooth keyboard is turned off/on.

I don't think it's hardware related, and it is very annoying.

I've had trouble with 10.4.10 and peripherals too

Apple definitely missed their deadline for an October Leopard release, well see it in stores maybe late November. Not sure why, since the os seems pretty stable in the late betas n stuff. I'd rather not have them pull a microsoft and place the updates in a service pack 1 or something (10.5.1-2). So I'm happy their taking their time.

FYI: Protools availability for leopard is 180 days after GR (general release) so that means 2008 (mid probably). Don't know why digidesign can't test on the betas, bt I guess they want to test the final.

Oh well, that's my lowdown.

LOL LOL
This is Apple not microsoft.
 
Will the "classic" environment be supported on Macs with a PowerPC CPU or is this where Apple says "Bye, bye"?

had you said it when vista was released that would have been remotley accurate, however vista was released over 6 months ago. Ergo, a 6 month old PC should easily be able to handle vista, (unless of course the PC is new but uses old parts)

Vista is the result of saying: "hey apple your operating system is pretty, can we copy it?" Apple of course thinks imatation is the sincerest form of flattery so of course they allow it.

Full features of Vista DOES NOT even work on all currently shipping PCs.

Hopefully this will include a fix for the new iMac video card issues.....

It would be nice, wouldn't it? However, it could just as likely be thrown out there as a separate update for the new iMacs. As there has already been 2 revisions of graphics drivers released separately for these iMacs already. So a 3rd isn't unrealistic.

While im here, I cant say I have any real problems with 10.4.10, but im sure i'll make a grab at 10.4.11 regardless :)
 
Latest Word Is 867 MHz G4 Is The Minimum Speed Not 800 MHz

An error message appears during installation, saying at least an 800MHz G4 is needed to proceed.

No. The latest word is that message will say "at least 867MHz G4 is needed to proceed."

Not if you're running @ 800MHz.

Would it be worth it to install Leopard on my 1.25GHz G4 iMac? Even if it meets the requirements, probably just barely, would it suffer from all the bells and whistles (that I love, by the way) that it just wouldn't be worth it? I'm really looking forward to Stacks and the new Finder.

Definitely worth installing. I don't believe Leopard will run slower than Tiger on Macs just above the minimum required speed. I believe it will run faster. Just because it has a lot of features doesn't mean it will run slower.

Thank you so much! Finally, a straight answer lol. Not that I didn't enjoy the jokes at Vista's expense. I think Apple has my money this time around.
 
Please fix problems with airport extreme usb drives

A ton of users are still having problems keeping their usb drives happy when connected to airport extreme.

As this will be a key method that many people use as a backup device with Time Machine, I hope it gets fixed soon.

/hoping that apple developers still frequent these forums.

So if you buy a Mac with a hardware problem that could be fixed with a firmware patch, would you say "Apple should focus on making new models bug free instead of wasting time still fixing existing Macs."

That is stupid - people shouldn't have to upgrade to Leopard to have a stable Mac. Not everyone upgrades for the sake of upgrading.

mac needs to jump on bungie and get halo 3 ported to the mac for the new leopard release 64 bit baby!!!!!
Click to expand...

Did you even read the bungie details? Microsoft still owns the rights to halo, bungie has no control over that title. And MS will never let that happen, at least not for years after Halo sales on xbox and pc have trickled down to nothing - if they port to other platforms, there's less incentive to buy an xbox or PC.

And way to go completely off topic.

Is that official word from digi, or just what people are assuming? Digi has always sucked at supporting the latest OS versions, they still haven't approved 10.4.10 yet. They'll probably approve it the day after 10.4.11 ships. And I don't think Apple has missed an october release yet, they don't have much time left but there's still barely enough time to get disks duplicated and shipped. I still think we'll probably see it in stores on the 26th.

Think about what you just said. Tiger shipped 2.5 years ago, and they're still making improvements and fixes. Whenever Leopard ships, they will be doing the same 2.5 years after that.

No OS is ever "bug free", it just reaches a point where the bugs are minor enough that users accept it. Plus, tiger and leopard surely have separate teams, pulling the tiger guys to work on leopard for a couple weeks probably would make zero difference.
 
This is one of the things I like about Apple. 10.5 is in the wings, but the company isn't throwing out 10.4 quite yet. I won't be upgrading my MacBook to 10.5 for a while, so: Thanks Apple.
 
JFreak said:
Many only upgrade when forced to, so no, Tiger is not dead. For example close to every music studio running the latest Protools HD sit tight on Tiger version 10.4.8 for as long as Digidesign blesses Leopard. It might take a while so no upgrades this year.

Not everyone has nothing better to do than just wait for an upgrade...

Pro Tools... blah. I finally figured out how to launch the program successfully under 10.4.10. *Repair Prebinding*

I hope Apple is going to provide update for Apple Remote Desktop 3 and Leopard users or ARD 4?

Meanwhile, if Leopard comes before 10.4.11, I will go straight to Leopard on all my Macs.

Why is that? Won't new features such as Spaces and Stacks be a bit heavy on the memory, especially on a macbook with its gma 950?

You do realise that 10.4.10 is unsupported operating system version, don't you? Yes, there is a workaround, but it is just that — a workaround, which is not supported, it may work or on the other hand it may not.

I don't see how Stacks and Spaces specifically will tax the system more than the other features, or any more than Exposé and Dashboard, among others, already do. I mean, Linux has had spaces for years and Stacks are just like folders in the Dock but prettier. I'm more worried about some of the features in the new Finder as well as all the overall clearness and shininess of the gui.

Not only that, but Microsoft gets exclusive publishing rights to all of Bungie's properties for several years. So anything Bungie produces for the next little while is all going to be released under the Microsoft banner. However, Microsoft is one of the top publishers of games for the Mac, so some of Bungie's stuff could end up on the Mac.

Exactly. Just not Halo. I've been playing a lot of AoEIII, which is produced by MS. Great game.
