transparent terminal bug

Care to elaborate on the bug? I haven't heard anything about that...
Click to expand...

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.

Interesting. I'm seeing the same thing on my PB, too. I've never noticed this before because I don't set my transparency that low.
 
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... :confused:
 
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.
 
what a drag

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.

Bingo!

I doubt there will be a G5 announcement before the 30th -- but you can't rule it out now. There certainly could be other announcements: displays, QuickTime, other software updates.

This is great news -- my credit card is ready to go.

Now, we need some rumors about these new G5s. For instance, will there be new memory requirements? what about optical drives? will be get a speed up in the burners?

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. :mad:

Heh there's only 2 or 3 days in a year where it's "safe" to buy a Mac.
 
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

Photorun said:
Well, it's a bit snappier, restart shaved a second off my 1.8 DP G5 with 2.5 GB RAM, from 13 seconds down to 12, that's not to shabby. However networking HASN'T changed, it still doesn't see my iBook or iMac on the network unless I manually feed it the IP address of each, that's total BS. Of course, my iBook and iMac running greatly superior network ease-of-use 10.2 JagWIRE, just go to the "Go" menu in the Finder and boom, everything is there. So I still don't get why Apple effed this up, and why they have made it HARDER to browse the network. Other than that, in general, SFDD.

I'm bummed. And still no driver improvements for the Epson 880, no ability to choose quality or B&W vs. Color.... hmmm, Apple's engineer's heads are up their arses. :mad:

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?
 
Man, why didn't I check MacRumors before I left school....I could be having 10.3.3 goodness right now....instead I'll have to find some time to update during my class tomorrow....gonna be annoying though, we're having a crit....
 
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.

Is there even a combined update out yet? That's usually what I use but I didn't see it posted.

My biggest complaint is that they still haven't solved the scroll wheel problem in Safari. With my Intellimouse optical explorer, in other applications like Mozilla, a quick turn of the scroll wheel moves the screen down 1 page. In Safari, no matter how fast I scroll the wheel, it just moves a 1/3 page at most. It is so annoying that I rarely use Safari because of it. Maybe it's a cocoa app thing.
Click to expand...

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 :D

crees! said:
As far as I'm concerned this is not a problem. This is always how it has worked for me in Safari and on Windows machines and I see nothing wrong with it. I think... on Windows machines (in IE) you can specify how far one scroll on the mouse moves the page.. whether it be 3 lines, 4 lines, or whatever..

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

theranch said:
Nevermind. Works fine now.
{Now that I updated to 10.3.3 FinalCutPro 4.0.2 does not work....el crasho! Not good. I'm on a 1ghz MDD w/1mb ram.
:(
Anyone else having a problem?}
Click to expand...
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. :p
