If 10.3.5 dosen't fix 10.3.4's bug that disables the internal mic on the 500mhz iBook, I am going to flip out. Well, at least be angry until I get my 12" Powerbook next month. I WANT MY MIC BACK!

What the hell are they doing that for? Have they gone completely insane? I mean, I thought .Mac was awful. They should be submitted to the BBB with a complaint.

10.3.5
Okay, I was at the WWDC in San Francisco. After finding my peripheral vision could not take in 60" worth of display sitting next to a G5 (at the normal distance you would view a display while at a machine), I decided to check out the OS info. 10.3.5 Those gathered were impressed. As it was running on the dual 2.5 and this thread is about the dual 2.5... 10.3.5 is and update for the hardware gunning the cooling system and all the nVidia drivers for the huge 6800 card to power twin 30" displays. I'm sure there will be standard bug and security fixes but those are the two main points. A year ago the G5's were shipping with 10.2.7 for software to drive the fans. When the update came out for the rest of us it was 10.2.8. I think most likely we'll see a 10.3.6. But it could be 10.3.5. I wouldn't expect a colossal Siberian Tiger version of Panther. "White of course. Not orange. Orange is much more powerful and cool you see, that's why we're saving orange for Tiger."

Wasn't this settled? The odd numbers denote power macs and the evens consumer desktops, i.e. iMacs and eMacs. The 8,1 should signal a completely new G5 iMac due in September (and presumably originally due this month) or something else completely new, perhaps the G5 Cube or G5 headless blah blah.oliverlubin said:
Hmm... Well, I wonder myself what else may be in there.
BTW, unrelated to this topic, I am having some problems of late on my iMac with WiFi networking. Obviously this isn't the place to discuss this or sort out any details.
The issue, briefly, is that I cannot connect or browse wirelessly, this is a brand-new problem never encountered before, I have no explanation as to what might have caused it, when I boot up the Airport indicator shows a connection and signal strength but I cannot go anywhere and have a self-assigned I.P., and when I try to connect it refuses, telling me an error occurred.
Is there anyone here knowledgable in such things who could email me about this with ideas?
Thanks in advance!

The adding fo support for the liquid cooling is a given for a new release similar to 10.2.7 but I wonder what we will see in this new version to make it the most significant since release. I think these reports probably also clarify why these G5s took so long to get out despite the new powermac number being in since 10.3.3, it seems they weren't going to use the liquid cooling system but were forced into it.
We haven't really seen much added to Panther since release, mainly just bug fixes and speed ups, so it wouldn't take too much to make it the most significant update. I guess I would hope for the safari update which we have also seen seeded to developers recently and maybe if there is more beyond this a little added functionality to expose and support for some new as yet unreleased product

If you want some so bady, you could probably mod some existing widgets and make some Australia-specific.
I guess the Konfabulator vs. Dashbord comes down to how easily one can make their own custom widgets.

And let's be clear on this, whilst Konfabulator - of which I'm actually very fond - is limited to the program's own Javascript-based language and its potential to call external scripts, Dashboard is essentially a mini webpage capable of leveraging Java, Flash, Director, QuickTime and loads more beside.
Whilst I can see disasterous and potentially aesthetically offensive gadgets being delivered in Dashboard, its broader functionality will undoubtedly spur a new wave of development driven by the New Media mafia rather than traditional systems types.

yeah i hear you. I want to use isync and stuff with my v600 but i cant. Its annoying that i have to use my crappy dell to do stuff with it. Maybe motorola should release a mobile phone tools for mac.
The Red Wolf said:
If I recall, 10.2.7's main use was 64-bit extensions for the G5.
Another possibility. If you look at "Tiger Theater" on Apple's Tiger Preview page, on the one about Spotlight in the Preferences panel...you'll notice a new section, titled "Processor" at the very bottom underneath all the other stuff like Keyboard, Desktop Picture, etc. If this processor tab is also in 10.3.5... Perhaps 10.3.5 allows the user to control the water cooling or scale the processor speeds?
GFLPraxis said:
We already have that System Preference. You have to install the CHUD tools to get it. Lots of G5 owners have installed it so they can turn off Nap Mode to get the power supply and/or the audio outs to stop screaming wildly
Whatever this release does...
Please, please... get it right. (kneels & prays)
We've got 3 of these machines ordered and they will be our main production workstations from day 1...
Don't want any probs at all!
(whoops, that's probably tempting the furies)

I thought PowerMac8,1 was already determined to be the next iMac. Didn't someone outline the model names and their correlation to the actual models in another thread? My memory's fuzzy, but IIRC, the odd numbered ones (PowerMac1 3 5 and 7,whatever) were PowerMac towers, whereas the even numbered ones (PowerMac2 4 6 and now 8,whatever) are the iMacs/eMacs. But I could easily be wrong about that.
However, PowerMac8,1 is the new iMac.

Wonder Boy said:i want to get the v600. i have the c331, and it's great but i'm being strong armed by cingular to get a new phone. so im switching to verizon! anyway, i hope 10.3.5 also brings new versions of ical, address book, and especially isync.
ps. coumerelli, is the v600 a good phone?
[hijack]I LOVE the v600. It's a relatively new phone so I'm sure that the next time apple makes drivers/updates available, it'll be in there. I just hope it's soon. I had the t608 from sprint and LOVED the BT stuff. So cool. Changed to ATT wireless. Great stuff[/hijack]
re: konfab vs. dashboard...I bought konfab and use it everyday. Great stuff there too. I just hope that Apple had made dashboard into will give developers something great to work with. I'm pretty stoked that it's gonna support flash et al. Super Cool!
Early in this thread someone mentioned how well Pro Tools 6.4 runs under 10.3.4. Anyone know if it still prevents you from manually putting your computer into sleep mode? That was such a hassle for me, since I always leave my powermac in sleep mode when I'm not using it. I ended up having to install the OS on my second hard drive, and install Pro Tools on that drive too, so that when I'm not using Pro Tools I can boot to my first drive and use sleep mode. Typical Digidesign kludge. I hope it's been eradicated.

granted, i just was wondering if someone could confirm the gen2 G5 is in fact the PowerMac7,3...
Blue Velvet said:
Uh oh, dude, that's not enough. Here's a sure-fire ritual that will appease the angry wroth of the Mac gods you have annoyed with your childish, pedantic whining:
You need to sing the Star Spangled Banner as a Gregorian Chant in Irish Gaelic while walking around the outside of your office -- backwards -- three times on one foot while wearing shorts and a 3-layer parka which specifically has a Hawaiian shirt-style print on it. And, most importantly, you must do this on a Tuesday between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. However, you can't start on an odd-numbered minute unless you start in the bottom half of the hour, but then you have to finish on an even-numbered second.
I hope that clears the matter up for you. BTW, I really do feel sorry for someone in your precarious predicament.
