Mac OS X 10.3.2 Released

fan on powerbook g4?

Immediately after upgrading, my fan is on ALL THE TIME! (powerbook g4) I have Temperature Monitor installed. Previously the fan came on around 140, now it's on and my temp is only 116!!! My g/f has a powerbook g4 also and hers kicked off around 116. ?????? Anyone else notice this?
 
I've always found the first reboot after an update to take linger than normal. It makes sense to me that there would be some one-time initialization/housekeeping to be done.

I've updated with all the 7D seeds, and I certainly don't think things are slower. If anything, I'd say it's a bit quicker.
 
Solid update on PB 12"

Definitely a good update after 1 hour of use. Intial boot up was slow but who reboots every day. Everything seemed to be snappier in my play. Maybe it has something to do with the new graphic drivers in this update. I strongly suspect this has something to do with the differing reports on OS performance.
 
No speed difference for me.

Speed seems the same to me (g3 800 iBook 384mb ram).

Networking with Windows still seems goofy. I will have to give it more time to tell.


But not any slower for me:D
 
I think the performance has improved on my 12" PB... however, I'm having a problem with the fan turning on and staying on... before the update, it rarely turned on... now it seems to be "stuck".
 
Wow, OS 10.3 doesn't feel like a beta anymore... I can browse the windows LAN okay...
 
No issues on a PowerBook 15". Speed feels the same (of course, it was just after a reboot). Reboot was relatively normal in terms of time.

As for permissions, no errors except for some of my build folders returning errors, which I can only expect from time to time due to the number of builds I do.

No issues seen... feel free to download.
 
my PowerBook is making more noise than usual... and its NOT the fan, its the humming noise thats louder... :-\
 
good stuff

Updated on my 17 inch (1.33) and my girlfriend's 12 inch (867), and everything seems fine. If it's faster or slower, I haven't been able to tell yet. iPhoto does seem faster to me.

Anybody test out the graphics driver update yet? Some framerate comparisons on games?

Oh, and for those who are interested, PPTP VPN access is still functioning normally. Also, samba sharing seems to be the same as far as the interface is concerned. I'll try out the browsing functionality tomorrow at work because I can't "browse" over VPN.

A little hesitant to installing this hearing the numerous complaints in regards to the speed degredation. I've been lucky so far not to encounter any problems with Apple updates in the past maybe I'll chance my luck.
 
Is it me, or are the iBook's speakers much louder??? My Volume Logic expired on Dec 15, and I can't seem to pay $20 for it, even though I consider it an essential solution for the iBook's pathetic speakers. It seems Apple has boosted the output level of the speakers...similar to the results I had when VolumeLogic was working. Strange, huh?
 
Wow. Mail now finally moves junk to my junk box automatically. Like it should have months ago. But now it won't actually let me *see* inside the junk box.

Bug fixes: 1
Net result: still unuseable.

hrumph...
 
updated my 15 tibook 667.

works like 10.3.1. nothing's changed as far as performance goes. not that i notice anyway.


running an archive and install version of panther....speed is fine.
 
no problems

Works fine with me, no problems so far. Startup is slower (appr. 35 secs with 10.3.1, just over 60 secs now), but performace seems to be the same as before. No permissions to be repaired after update.
One strange thing: The fan went on after rebooting for the first time after the update. This rarely ever happens normally.

I have to agree - it seems to work just fine on my G5 DP (2.0GHz) and my iBook (G3 900). The G5 came with 10.3, and the iBook was an archive and install upgrade from 10.2.4.

So, it looks pretty safe to me - but, I don't use any weird system hacks on those two machines.
 
Upgrade with a hiccup

After update the system did not want to restart. so I manually shut it down (holding power button) and started up again, then the login screen was a TERMINAL SCREEN. Hmm. I tried logging in through there but it didn't let me. Then all of a sudden the normal Login screen showed up. Whew!. I then logged in and repaired some permissions. The repaired permissions were login related. After that no problems. Restarted again just to make sure. And everything is A OK. No speed difference noted by the way. I'll have to look into it more though its only been 6 minutes. :)

Just thought I'd share my story.

Edit: fixed my story flow to make more sense :)

I also have noticed a change in the ibook's speaker output. However I have never heard of that Volume logic program. Maybe its just our ears are more sensitive.
 
Just updated to 10.3.2 on my 1ghz Tibook. No problems. I did a repair permissions and it found nothing wrong. However, I did a second reboot just for kicks.

My powerbook feels a lot faster. I'm noticing a speed increase in iTunes and Camino. Finder also is more responsive. Boot up times didn't change much, if any. Networking with Windows is so much nicer now. No problems finding my XP box, and browsing my XP box is very smooth and fast. So far it's a great update.
 
GREAT!

Fixed Radeon 9800 glitches in Ghost Recon and has improved OS feel. Windows zoom faster and Apps seem to load faster too!
This update appears to have taken the rough edges off 10.3.

... I moved my Utilities folder out of my Applications folder and after I updated, OS 10.3.2 made another Utilities folder and added a blank file that is labeled Print Center but it is a non functional blank white alias so I am wondering if it failed to update Print Center since it was located somewhere else than where it was by default.

As a new-ish Mac user but a long-time Linux user, I have to ask... why would you do this? It seems like you'd be asking for trouble if you intended to mix-and-match 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 stuff.

In any case I upgraded and things seem quite snappy. I'm not seeing any of the slow behavior some are reporting.

Well, that's when they're installing all of those things that are normally busy while the operating system is running. It's no wonder it takes longer.

Things seem great here. No repaired permissions. It's been a while since I restarted, but it could be that the open Finder window took longer to display items and some custom menu things took a while, but overall, it seems somewhat quicker to respond.

[EDIT]
There was a problem with Now Up-to-Date and Now Contact menu bar items. Turning them off and back on solved it. Game video performance is much improved.
[/EDIT]
 
Now, let's see if makes the 10.3 printer drivers that came with it compatible with my printer so I can use those and dump the 10.2.8 drivers I'm forced to use.
