transparent terminal bug
If you open terminal and set it to transparent, you can see the bug by typing "ls" a couple of times or doing something that puts some text on the window. Then, you click on the desktop (or another window) to deselect the terminal window and then click back on the terminal window. When you scroll the text on the window by (by pressing return a few times) you will see the text that was there when the window was reselected "ghosted" against the transparent background. There was a forum about it if you go to http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20001120133050864 and search for "ghosted text." Unfortunately the screnshot example is now dead. I can take one for you if you like. I have duplicated this problem on two different powerbook g4s.

DVD Player problem
I've noticed a bit of a problem actually. Maybe it's just for myself, but any DVD that I now play has blocks of distortion when an image moves quickly across the screen. It's quite bad. Anyone else notice this???

FIrewire problems
with 10.3 my firewire hard drive and firewire camera (min dv) don't work at the same time i have to unplug one of them for the other to work. but when i start up in 10.2.8 they work together fine. The same thing happens on my friend's computer running 10.3 ... Is that fixed in 10.3.3

Is there any way to explore a PC's shared folder over the network without Samba mounting it?
In 10.3.2 I'm pretty sure you could explore it without having each shared folder mounted as a drive... 😕

Just to report in
I was kidding earlier...
installed 10.3.3 on all my machines (see sig) and everything is behaving, furthermore, Safari appear to render faster, and it repaired my SAMBA connection at work, so good stuff for me, but then I've been blessed even during the 10.2.8 debacle.

samba network browsing doesnt work anymore. now I'll have to mount every smb share y hand again, just like jaguar - i hate that.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
I hate 'em all.
So great - they modified the SMB Browsing again. Mean to say, they turened it off, all back to manual again. So guess what - the manually mounted directories have different mount points. that means all aliases need to be changed... REALLY GREAT IDEA IF YOU HAVE 3000 SONGS ON A SAMBA SHARE THAT SUDDENLY ALL POINT TO NOWHERE IN ITUNES.

I think I will throw up if there's a PBG5 announced any time before the Fall. After just buying a 12" PB against my better judgement I'll be livid if a G5 comes out so soon after. 😡numediaman said:

Download Question.....
In Jagwire I had the option to download updates to the desktop, which I liked to do so I could keep a collection of updates for when I had to do an fresh system install. While I can still install updates to my machine, I can't to the desktop -- where do they go to now, and can I ( once I've found them! ) safeley move them to my 'Upgrades " folder??
cheers,

SMB
I can't believe that Apple still can't get SMB to work right. After installing 10.3.3 it first appeared that things were working better. Although I consider the weird mode of mounting every share to the Finder and Desktop a downgrade. But an hour later after having my powerbook sleep I found that once again the shares just disappear when browsing. I can get them to come up by typing the IP address in connect to server just like 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2. It is beyond me how the engineers at Apple can't duplicate all the problems we have been having since 10.3. I'm losing faith.

You Obviously Have Something Else WRONG With Your System
WRONG WRONG WRONG
Apple's Engineers have done a remarkable job of making networking almost effortless and seamless. There is obviously something very wrong with your system. I have a 10.2.8 node and it is readily available on both my Panther nodes in a matter of seconds. Having mounted volumes appear in the finder window's left pane is an outstanding improvement in the networking paradigm.
And my Jaguar 10.2.8 node is rapidly mounting the Panther volumes in the old style. You better do a clean install and start over. That will get rid of all your complaints. They are misdirected at Apple engineering instead of yourself.

If you are going to complain at least post via the code tag your Network Configuration file containing your DHCP settings (presumably) and if you are utilizing NetInfo your Master/Slave settings, etc...

This statement presumes you have Samba Server configured correctly and aren't utilizing a version that is not supported by Apple, correct?
Am I missing something?
From the update:
"network volumes are now available in the Finder sidebar and Desktop for convenient access"
Hasn't this been the case since a while back now (atleast couple months since I got my Panther). Mounted network shares always appeared on desktop and in finder sidebar, this is nothing new? Or is there now a way to make panther "remember" old shares so that I don't have to reconnect to them? Making an alias doesn't seem to work atleast for smb-shares, it just produces an "Item not found" -message.
Also, is there a way to get rid of that bloody attack of the disconnect-alert boxes after the comp wakes up from sleep (or network is disconnected)? Quite annoying when you have multiple smb-mounts and every single one produces atleast 2 dialogs.

I noticed that too! If it's not fixed now I'll have to report it to Apple. I had to turn up the sensitivity on my Intellimouse so that it goes at a semi comfortable speed...it could still be faster with it set all the way up! Image how fast that makes other applications! Oh well, at least it doesn't do the choppy craptastic scroll that IE does 😀

Windows IE scrolling was never this slow. I'm using the same mouse I used to use on it and it's drastically slower even if you tell OS X to go really sensitive with the scroll wheel!

Final Cut Pro Is At 4.1.1 NOT 4.0.2
Your "Problem" is that you have not kept your Final Cut Pro UP-TO-DATE. Currently we are at 4.1.1 and have been for some time. 😛theranch said:
