Mac OS X 10.3.4 Released

I could breath now, I updated my OS and it didn't go crazy on me after i rebooted. Actually, safari and mail are a bit faster ... woo hoo.
do you think there will be a 10.3.5 before 10.4? I just wanna go straight to 10.4. I'll be going to my first WWDC this year-- maybe I'll get a pre-release 10.4 build since I'm an ADC memeber now.

BO*%£$KS!
Just took my TiBook into get the HD replaced earlier today, it sounded as though the drive platter was rubbing against something - thank God for Target Disk mode... Was hoping to take it to NY with me on Friday and any update/improvement would of been a welcome distraction of tinkering on the plane over.
It also leaves me mac-less for over a week
Guess I'll have to hang round the SoHo store more than I thought.
I'll look forward to having a fresh machine when i get back which i will take straight to 10.3.4, that is if the repair center doesn't do it for me...

*grumble* this update is crap. How many times does a person need to submit a critical bug to Apple before it actually gets fixed.

Click on little arrow - note that it pops up your reply.
Move the received email to another folder (as many people do to organize their mail).
Click on little arrow - pull out your hair as ridiculous message pops up saying the reply can't be found.
I have participated in discussions about this and other people have also submitted the bug, as far back as the beginning of the year, with no results.

You'll learn that alot of things aren't done for practically, rather for bragging rights.
For example, I'v though of overclocking my 15 MHz TI-83 Silver calculator. What use does this serve? Two things: the ability to say 'I overclocked my calculator' the oter reason I've thought of this is so that when I make a BASIC program on it, it will run the program faster - I really need that when I'm running GUI games on it.
Just think, my calculator rivials the worlds first computers.
15 MHz processor
1.54 MB of flash memory
24,000 K of RAM
The ability to run GUI operating systems. (There are progs that let you emulate windows xp on my calc.)
Does anybody have/use Shape Shifer, because when I restarted, it gave me an error message saying something like 'Shape Shifter does not support this version of Mac OS X' (or something to that extent).
I can't stand the default OS X theme, if Shape Shifter doesn't work in 10.3.4 I'm serously considering going back to 10.3.3.

Hmm... then I'm not sure, it can have something to do with ownership and/or permissions, so the standard reply anybody gets here on the forums: Fix permissons with Disc Utility, might actually fix this (IF it is an owner/permisson issue...)
Yes, it places the Aa entry correctly at the bottom, but here it doesn't show the card when you click it. On my two Macs (one 10.3.3 and one 10.3.4) it just shows the very first persons card instead. Maybe try changing a different person.Mitthrawnuruodo said:Works just fine on my girlfriends machine, she's still using 10.3.3 Norwegian version, and when we change my last name to starting with Aa the Address Book still shows all entries. Hey it even understood that Aa=Å and placed the entry at the bottom...
PS! On my machine I've got English OS X language, and it places an entry starting with Aa at top, but still shows every card...
Safari and Mail are unbelievably quicker! Scrolling on a webpage is now silky smooth.
Have they changed the default coloursync profile? There's no mention of this in the documentation when I scanned through but everything looks distinctly more blue. When I tried to alter the profile myself once (to get rid of the washed out look) I also made it look blue, and so reverted back to the default. It's almost as if the pinstripes are slightly more prominent again also, but I may just be imagining it.
Everything seems very snappy - the dock magnification has gone crazy (like a zillion frames per second) and changing views in Address Book is much quicker.
Overall, no problems yet. OS X keeps getting better and better!

Finder seems a bit snappier...
Safari has no (obvious) new features. They really need to add some more control in managing different kinds of plug-ins and other security settings.
Has anybody tried if Safari handles Java content better...?
I would say yes , One site i frequent often has a java manu that never worked properly but now does with 10.3.4!
YES!

You think your the only person in the world who posts bugs! Apple probably gets Millions of "potential" bug reports everyday. They can't possibly read all of them and please everyone.

Highly amusing... when the last name on my card was starting with Aa, everything worked fine, but when we changed that back and tried with another card it behaved just as you describe...
These kinds of bugs is why I'm using English as my OS language, even if I am Norwegian...

Mitthrawnuruodo said:Yeah I know, but the Drag'n'drop-bug is the only one that really annoys me...
Oh wow, i thought it wass just me, this bug has been pissing the heck out of me lately, and I JUST did a completely fresh install of OSX so I don't know what would have caused it. Looks like they may have fixed it though from the docs, have yet to DL and test it though...are yours fixed?

Cool... thanks... my girlfriend, who is a webdesigner, will be very pleased, as this is a thing that has annoyed her for a LONG time, now...
2 flawless installs of it on our Macs, Safari is much faster as is mail, no problems at all to speak of. Im happy
It has nothing to do with pleasing me. It has everything to do with making their software actually work.mklos said:
So far, it seems fine.
So far, no problems with the update. All of my applications work as expected, no shell scripts broke, and my NFS automounts all still work.
It's quiet... too quiet...

FULL Steam Ahead
Just installed on G3 350MHz OC to 400MHz No problem
G4 ALPb 1.25 GHz with 1.5 GB Ram Airport is better, no problems
G4 SP450MHz had blue screen freeze on restart, then on forced shutdown and powerup, no displays at all, (Radeon 8500), then did forced restart, No problems since. Wokrs fine. Prob just a quirky issue. So many apps and Hardware things. MAIL is amazinly fast. Safari is as well, but less noticable specially on these old machines. Happy with Apple today. Now if OWC will just ship my PowerLogix Dual 1.2GHz upgrade i'd be really happy.
