Yep, I guess this time it would be
"Wrath of Apple". Is Apple really that dense as well?

I think that updates & fixes are just an inevitable part of the development process, not a QA issue.

Apple have always released major OS versions full of bugs that also break lots of 3rd party software, (remember System 8.0 anyone, or 7.5?).

System 9, with all its failings, was by far and away the most stable and well behaved OS they had made before the big jump to UNIX, everything before that was riddled with problems, and it STILL took 20 years to get there.

So, considering that, I think they are doing an AMAZING job with OSX so far.
 
Here's to hoping one extra feature not mentioned makes the cut...no more firmware updates necessary for third party Firewire hard drives. They weren't under 10.2, and the fact that they are under 10.3 and 10.3.1 to avoid data loss puts many in an imposition when faced with a Firewire 400 or Firewire 800 case that has not had its firmware update offered by its manufacturer. Even target disk mode is problematic under 10.3 and 10.3.1. This should not be the case, and you should ask that Apple fix it at http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
 
USB..

I hope the USB mentioned is a fix for us having the USB picture corruption on the Dual G5's. I've been waiting so patiently...

I'm sorry and excuse my newbie question but are you saying that your Apple Dev NDA explictly prevents disclosure of a file size? (Or was this some sarcastic joke I missed)

The NDA I am party to stipulates that I cannot disclose non-public information gained via my ADC membership. In a strict interpretation, this could include the file sizes, but I doubt Apple will care, considering the vague (and negligibly humorous) aspect of my post and the fact that the specific information has been posted by others.

Apps don't crash in 10.3.1. If you are experiencing unexpected quits or kernel panics, please read these two FAQs:

Either a preference, driver, permissions or directory is out of whack or not compatible with Panther, or you are experiencing a hardware issue like bad RAM as RAM can go bad at any time.

Your system really needs some help.
Try using Mozilla or Explorer instead of Safari.
 
Apple are you listening?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix this waking-up-from-sleep issue I'm having with my G4. I know I'm not the only one...there's an Apple technote on it.

Thank you

When I push a button to wake it up, I get prompted for my password (which is right...that's how I have it set), but as soon as I enter it, the desktop comes back up for a split second, then the computer goes back to sleep. It does this EVERY time.

Do you have a sleep corner on your screen?
 
I've read many post from users experiencing instability with Safari - it's odd because it's rock solid for me, and by far and away the fastest browser on my machine.

Anyone else experiencing stability with Safari?

Doesnt have to be your system...

I used my mac on several different routers. On some it is totally screwed up when it comes out of sleeping mode on others it is just fine..
So the router is really the problem here.
 
safari quits

You may have a broken pref.

trash: com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist

A new .plist will be built automatically.

Safari will be stable ... for a while.

Same thing happens to my wife's iBook. She does not have sleep corners set.
 
Not incredibly interesting, but InternetConnect.app has been updated also (it's not in the list, unless it falls under Core OS).

Safari has never crashed on me since day one of using OS X, so it can't be that Safari is unstable but that there is a conflict that many people are having.
 
The problem is OS X...

Sounds like there's a problem in OS X that it is sensitive to something about router configuration.

The router might be the trigger, but there's a bug in the operating system if the router can make the OS fail.
 
I've had a lot of problems with my router with Panther, too, but I just attributed it to poor network implementation by my college more than anything since it sucks on OS 9, Jaguar, and XP on my roommate's HP laptop as well.

and those people buy iMacs, not top-of-the-line dual g5s. you are talking of a completely different customer.
 
ooohh.

Imagine the ruckus that Apple will cause if they release 10.2.3 with the Dreamweaver problem still there...
it's not gonna be pretty. But that's what new seeds are for right ? 😛

Man, so either all my preferences files are bad or I might need to throw my G5 on the garbage... 🙂

Actually it's funny that Safari doesn't crash on me. Photoshop doesn't either... All other apps I use do... Never happened in Jaguar. As soon as I updated to Panther it started. And it's very annoying to have this happen in the middle of an important project... 🙁
