Mac OS X 10.3.1 Update

Updated and the only difference I see is that my floating system clock now retains it's translucency through restart and logout. It didn't before.

As for any problems period with 10.3, nope, nada, nothing. So far 10.3 is superior to 10.2.8 in almost every fashion.

I too have a dual 1.42 and as for Safari crashing? Not since the beta release. Also Mail hasn't crashed for me since installing 10.3 and it was with 10.2.8.
 
Character Palette bug...

When my PB comes back from screen saver or sleep mode, asking my password I get always the character palette top right... I have the PB to work with English, Spanish and German. Most American haven't noticed that... guess ;), I remember now, after the update and restart, a finder window and the character palette were there... maybe different languages setup has nothing to do, maybe those with the character palette activated... Someone else?
 
Updated my Panther DP

And all I get is a circle with a line thrue when i start up my iBook. :(
Apple is starting to bother me!

Be warned!

Have you repaired permissions?

Install applejack ( http://applejack.sourceforge.net ) and run it from the command line at boot up.

Also, try VLC ( http://www.videolan.org ) to play the DVD..
 
The FW800 issue really frightened me away from ever again trying to live on the bleeding edge (even though my only external drive, a FW400 LaCie, was unharmed). I was going to wait a long time to mess with 10.3.1, but tonight my SMB networking was acting really weird, and I decided to take the plunge. The weirdness continued for a while after the installation and restart, but now all is well again.

I, too, am pleasantly amazed to see that no permissions needed repairing after the upgrade.
 
Frozen keyboard

Several hours after updating & restarting--my keyboard froze. :mad: I have no idea if this is a consequence of updating or if it would have happened anyway but disturbing none the less. I had to force a shut down and upon restart the keyboard was back.
 
Permissions

Thanks for reminding me to conduct a "Repair Permissions". Apple should advise everyone to do this it would avoid allot of unnecessary issues.

I agree. Usually the .0.1 release is so big people complain about the size. This is just 10.3.0 - Take 2 in my thinking.

Agreed, there is no increment in the Kernel version which is usually updated when a new point version is released also...

Seems to be working fine on a DPG4550 and a DPG5-2GHz. Haven't loaded Panther on my iBook yet, but OK on the towers so far. Had an issue with my G4 and DVD player, but just ran 10.3.1 on it and checked and it's working OK.
Also haven't tried FileVault again. No real need for local security, I'm the only one here.
 
don't freak

don't freak out kids - the installer/update works fine... 99.99% of the ppl who have trouble are on systems with 50 'haxies' or they are trying to update from a beta version of the OS - tsk, tsk.
 
DVD Player Error

I have an original Panther
In fact the computer is only one week old, and I was watching a dvd fine, but then I interrupted to get online for a while and saw the update.. and BOOM...!! Here I go, like me... not resisting the fact that there is something NEWWWW.... for my mac.. and when I updated 10.3.1 I couldnt used again my DVD.

What are the steps to fix a dvd, because sometimes it does recognize the DVD but still doesn't play it, and some other times after restarting it it won't even knows is there?

So how do I know if this is a software problem (like dvd player) or this is the Powerbook "machine" problema...?

Wotan,

Why don't you call Apple? You have a new machine.

I got the problem since last night, after 9 and today it seems they don´t work. And you know that when you have your computer not working you just NEEDDD..!!! to fix it at that presice moment.


Thank you anyway.. I will do it tomorrow and stop trying more new things..
 
Thought I'd also chime in. 10.3 upgrade (no archive & install) went just fine. 10.31 went just fine. NO problems except that 10.3 reinstalled Java 1.31, and iTunes seems to have reverted to version 3 - both quickly fixed via downloads. Other than that, all seems fine. FontBook works perfectly for me with a decent number of fonts - not several hundred, but more than most people, including many I got way back in the 1980s - Classic was updated and works fine, too.

I LOVE THE SNAPPINESS OF 10.3. OS X was driving me nuts before with its brief delays before doing anything...10.3 solves that...all the other stuff is just gravy.

And I am *SO* looking forward to FileVault once I'm convinced it works.

I also got the character palette popping up after isntalling Panther. For me it appeared when I logged in, logged out and some other times too.
My solution was to remove the character palette from the Input Menu. Now it is harder to access but at least it doesn't pop up randomly on the screen. :rolleyes: I am not sure if 10.3.1 would prevent this bug but it was there in 10.3.

I have US English, Japanese, and a beta of an ancient Greek keyboard installed and on my keyboards menu and never get the character palette unless I ask for it. So no, it's not just that most Americans haven't noticed it.
 
Working well so far. I have a Lacie FW400 drive (80 GB, so it's probably not the Oxford chip that's known to lie at the heart of the FW800 issue) and do not use FileVault (I used disk utility to create an encrypted disk image instead; much more managable, as I can put the thing where I want it, and it doesn't try to encrypt my videos, music, etc.)
 
System Prefs with 10.3.1

Is anyone having problems with System Prefs? I just upgraded to 10.3.1 and wanted to change my desktop/screensaver. The desktop/screensaver show up for a bit then crashes!
Scary...this isn't 10.2.8 is it? I am having the problem on my 15" flat iMac. I am too scared to upgrage my powerbook now.
