Re: Spring cleaning...
hahahaha! So true, so true, and so to the point - and even a touch of sarcasm...pretty good for a first post!
I'm runnin' a tired old TiPowerBook...the first one Apple came out with, and I've actually never repaired permissions and have had nothing but zero trouble with Jaguar and this latest update. Yippie yi yo kai yay! (or however you spell that phrase!)

FULL of bugs is kinda an overstatement, don't you think..I have no problems....And from most of the post, not many other peeps as well...
I just had my first problem with Mail the other day, but it was after a...kernel panic I guess? First time since I installed Jaguar that it freaked out, but I was low on HD space and was running iTunes all night...anyway...it was more of a widespread problem.
It only remembered my (expired) .Mac email account, and I had to import all my other mail -- which wasn't too hard -- and re-input my account info.
Other than that it has a tendancy to ask for keychain permission more often than one would expect for an "always allow" answer.
But other than that it's been good. I just hope they make it more powerful. I don't know about "full of bugs" either...
Edit: BTW, I'm so damn happy not to have to use Outlook anymore I'll take a few non-fatal errors every once in a while. Just a few more security fixes in Safari and we'll all be MS FREE! YAY! My painful dependancy gone for good!!!!!
I'd like to thank Mom, Dad, Steve, and Jesus.Originally posted by Flynnstone
With 10.2.6 out
Does this mean that 10.3 will be out in June ? WWDC
Of course not. These big .1 updates, like 10.1 and 10.2 get hyped for several months first and they get all the PR they can out of them. Developers can't even get 10.3 yet, and WWDC is when it will probably get it's first big developer release. Then maybe in Sept or October we'll see 10.3. I can't think of ever when Apple pulled a big OS update out of the blue and just released it.
Yeah I got a Kernal Panic too on my 933 Tower...
made me mad! lol
My Dad has a serious problem with KP on his g3 imac. It is so bad he quit using the comp and now uses his PC ...I told him to just go back to 10.2.4...is that possible to find the old updates?
I hope I don't get the KP again I hate when that happens...this is my 3rd time on this machine ..

I hope this update/bug fixxer will do the trick but probably not

Kernel panics
Is this what a kernel panic looks like?
the only times I've ever had this kind of hard freeze under OS X have been when the machine is idle, with just find file apps or the screensaver running.
It's very unsettling when you leave your computer doing nothing, come back, and see this - though I must say, this last freeze (kernel panic?) happened under 10.2.5, and I haven't had any since updating yesterday

Re: update??
Amen! iChat is a great little program, just wished it used a real IM engine. Not a big fan of AIM and most of my friends are on ICQ still. I'd hope iChat would add support for multiple IM Clients. I know there are others out there but I've had zero luck in getting them to work. I end up using Trillian on my Windows 2000 laptop or loading three different clients on my 12" Powerbook

Weird. I can read, send, delete, compose, and do everything I need to do with a mail client. You sure it isn't a keyboard driver error?
Re: T610
It looks nice, but I could really do without the camera. I don't need to worry about people thinking I'm taking photos of them while I'm in sensative places. I work in areas that have confidential things in them, and if I brought a phone in with a camera, I'd probably get fired. I need my mobile phone wherever I go, I don't want a camera

Re: no samba fix though...
What does it do? I'm connecting to a linux server wtih SMB to get my pictures & mp3s. Haven't had any issues though i'm not doing anything real fancy either.

Bluetooth/iSync mobile phone support
I just bought myself a Siemens S55 (UK, could be S57 in the states?) and it works a treat!
Both the S55 and my Mac can send/recieve files to each other (pictures, ringtones etc) seamlessly. And the phone also shows up in iSync - albeit as a T68i !
...it's a very nice phone too!

Re: Re: no samba fix though...
Well, first of all, I can no longer even find my PC (Windows 2000) when browsing the local network. Nothing has changed with my PC setup, and I've tried several times to create new shares on my PC (W2K) to no avail.
When I use the shortcut I made to my PC in Connect to Server, I get a dialog box saying something like "Connecting..." and then after about a minute of this I get a kernel panic.
Other people have had similar issues with samba after upgrading to 10.2.5 according to macfixit. Some said that recreating a share or recreating permissions for the share fixes the problem, but this hasn't worked for me. In any case, something was changed in 10.2.5 that really hosed samba sharing for me.
I've emailed apple with the kernel panic text, so hopefully they'll have a fix soon (maybe a samba networking update or something like that, if not 10.2.7).

Re: Bluetooth/iSync mobile phone support
Ohh, that is very nice, Vanquish. So you can synchronize your Mac's Address Book and iCal to your S55? Unfortunately, I haven't seen the Siemens S55 or S57 offered in the US yet. The S55's is definitely a gorgeous phone.

Re: just a thought....
Yeah man. I want even better. I want my computer to spark and blow smoke out the back when it crashes... give me SOMETHING when it crashes. C'mon Apple. Maybe even make all the lightbulbs in the room blow up or something.

Re: Re: just a thought....
I think it would be fun if you could get a midi rendition of "taps" to play when a kernel panic happens - kinda give it the ol' funeral dirge type of feel.

Re: Re: Re: no samba fix though...
A followup... I got it to work by using the IP address instead of my PC's network ID (which DID work before). I guess it's a DNS thing? I don't know enough to say for sure, but if anyone's having problems similar to mine, use the IP address.

ive had problems with .5 and .6
I've had the PowerBook G4 12" since Jan/Feb. 2003. Never once has it crashed/had a kernel panic.
2 days ago, I woke the computer up from sleep, "ejected" the external firewire disk, and unplugged the USB hub. As soon as I unplugged the hub, i had a kernel panic.
I saw the 10.2.6 release last night and read that it fixed kernel panics due to USB hubs in 10.2.5
I immediately downloaded it and clicked restart when optimization was done. Upon reboot, the computer started up fine. I launched a program (can't remember which) and immediately had a kernel panic. I turned it off and back on. Everything has been fine since.
