12in PowerBook fan always on
Add another Rev. A to the list of machines hit by this.
I removed Battery Update 1.0 and it made no difference, so it's definitely a 10.3.2 glitch.
Before, I'd have to be really thrashing the hard drive to get the fan to come on now it's on at a v. low temperature.

No airport or slowdown problems here!
One thing that seems new, or maybe I just never noticed it in 10.3 or 10.3.1. If I close the system preferences window, it actually quits the program rather than leave it running with no window open. I often do this but want to keep it running. So I find this new behavior annoying.

Just updated my unsupported Wallstreet PB (thank you OWC and XPostFacto), and it seems to be fine. Not sure about speed-ups, but I don't think it has slowed down at all.
Gonna update our G3 iMac DV as well. Hopefully it'll fix the SERIOUS memory leak that appeared with 10.3.0 (the HDD will fill with page-outs that aren't released until reboot).
Of course, your mileage may vary.
[edit] Of note, after reboot Finder opened to the 'automount' folder, which is usually hidden.

Sawtooth + GeForce4MX
With much happiness I can report that my G4 450 Sawtooth now works properly with my OEM NVIDIA GeForce4MX (purchased through OWC). OpenGL is finally back, Quartz Extreme is back, and graphics performance is EXCELLENT overall.
Freakin' YAY!
To people with problems after an update like this -- do you do any troubleshooting at all, or just freak out immediately? There are a number of decent KB articles about troubleshooting OS X issues. I would recommend going through those steps at the very least, before worrying your heads off that the update really broke something in a bad way.
Try resetting PRAM.
Try reset-nvram from Open Firmware.
Try resetting your PMU (kb article 14449).
Try booting with SHIFT down if you have boot problems.
Try Disk First Aid (repair Disk, and Disk Permissions).
Try logging in as a new user, if that solves the problem you can be pretty sure it's a corrupt file in your original user's Library folder (often the culprit is a corrupt .plist file in ~/Library/Preferences).
If you really can't handle this stuff, consider calling AppleCare.

I... I couldn't stop laughing! Brilliant!
Anyhoo I'm wondering if some of these people are having issues not with 10.3.2 per se but are they updating other things from the Software Update panel as well during their installs like Firmware or security and then blaming it on 10.3.2. Just thinking aloud here. Especially the guy with the G5 DP machine, I have the same one, no problems. It doesn't seem faster mind you but the machine is already so snappy as it is it's hard to notice, like putting 93 octane gas in a Ferrari after running it on 91 and expecting top end gains, or a Model T.
No More Airport problems
I recently posted that the update Killed my Airport, but I somehow managed to fix it by playing around with the settings in the Networking panel.
My Airport worked great prior to this update- but it must of changed my Airport system preferences.
If anybody has Airport problems after this update, go into your NETWORK panel and select AIRPORT TCP/IP tab and press the APPLY NOW tab on the bottom. This worked for me.
Good luck!

Any word on the ATI support including all the Apple-supplied, BTO, 2nd monitor XClaim 3D Pro cards?

Hey all,
Looks like this a great update for most... but I was just nervous about the fan always being on with certain Powerbooks. I enjoy the quiteness of my laptop and would like it to continue.
Chime in please...

12" PB rev A.
Fan is working more than before...
Maybe I'll reset the PMU or just reboot again...

The reboot was a little slower, but everything else is sooo much quicker. This is awesome - itunes one bounce, safari one bounce and everything is so smooth and responsive too.
I haven't got the windows networking going yet, but if it is all fixed with this update I'll be having one hell of a happy xmas.

Windows 2000 Networking, Mail
These were my five major gripes with Panther. I had reported them all to Apple and have seen others complain about the same things; Apple has fixed one of the five in this update:
1 - Browsing the Win2K network always worked fine for me, but after waking my PB from sleep the volumes were no longer available. Worse, I couldn't manually re-connect to the server -- I had to wait until I had (unsuccessfully) browsed through all of the unavailable volumes and Panther decided it was time to re-connect. NOT FIXED.
2 - No way to mount Win2k volumes (or create shortcuts) anywhere. The only thing I could ever figure out was that I could drag one of the volumes to the Finder toolbar. However, same as above, once I put the PB to sleep and then woke it up, the shortcut was no longer available. NOT FIXED (at least the Finder toolbar thing -- I haven't messed around too much with mounting yet).
3 - Every time I re-connect to my server (i.e., way too many times) I enter my username and password and check "save to keychain." The "save to keychain" I do foolishly thinking maybe this one time it will actually do something -- but it never does. I always have to re-enter my username and password. If there is some technical reason why Win2k passwords cannot be saved in the keychain, then the checkbox should not be there. NOT FIXED (this has been a problem since Jaguar).
4 - Mail -- extra IMAP inbox folder appears in Mailboxes pane after every other launch. Just an annoyance, but FINALLY FIXED (this had also been a problem since 10.1).
5 - Mail -- Sending IMAP messages is extremely slow for me. Sending a small text-only message takes 5-10 seconds. Much slower than Jaguar. NOT FIXED
As far as the Win2K thing goes, it would be much too much to say it's unusable (and for me it was never unusable), but if I had written something like that and it was still in this state after the 10.3.2 update, I wouldn't be too particularly proud of my accomplishment, either. We all know Apple can do a hell of a lot better.

I actually did this on the 14th of this month...now that I've installed 10.3.2, should I rerun these procedures?
good update for me
Installed and everything seems fine here, normal startup time, apps launch as fast or faster... and my most favorite thing... IT FIXED THE TEXT PREVIEW CORRUPTION ISSUE IN FLASH MX!! So far seems like a good upate! I'll post back if I encounter issues.

To those that asked:
My 12" Revision B PowerBook's fan seems to function exactly as it had before. I am definately not experiencing the "always on" others are describing. It may be coming on more often, but if it has I haven't been able to tell.
I just wished they fixed they SMB networking

PB 15" 1.25
So far so good. Slow reboot first time out....1 minute 15 seconds, 45 seconds after after a permissions repair and restart. Some apps a little snappier. No fan problems (fingers crossed) No airport issues. Must be one of the lucky ones!

Reading everyone's posts about how their fans on their PowerBooks were always on, I thought they were overreacting .... until right now, when my fan won't shut off!
There has got to be a fix for this. I mean, yah its nice and cool now, but I was used to it being hot and quite. I think i would take hot and quite vs cold and loud ... at least for these winter months.

Hey all,
Installed it and anything works fine and little bit faster than before the update.
I have had problems with éxpose and with moving files on the desktop before, but this great update fixes things up.
This update is Apple's christmas present for me.

I was looking in the com.apple.dock.plist file and I noticed an item called "Persistant Apps."
If you go in here, System Preferences is one of them. I'm assuming these are the apps that stay in the dock.
There may be an option there to change this.
Personally I love this new behavior!
Is it safe for me to update to 10.3.2? Should I wait a little longer?
