I reeeally hope that this clears up the problems with Powerbooks not reconnecting their Airports after sleep. This seems to be pretty widespread on machines with over 1GB RAM after the last Airport update... we'll see!

d.

Nope.
 
Stickies are finally usable again!

No more having my stickings moving around on their own, overlapping each other! HOORAY! :)
 
When will iCal finally get an update? it's long overdue, I was hoping it would've been update on the next release, but I guess I'll have to grumble some more.

Hmmm...unexpected quit in Safari just now - haven't had one of those in a long time....

Saft is broken, too - should need a minor tweak for compatibility.

Saft gave me the usual generic warning that it may not be compatible. I selected "Try anyway" and it seems to be working just fine.
 
Everything good for me too... and Safari has significant speed improvement. I usually don't notice too much.

Still can't use Safari for bill pay with Wachovia Bank. Any ideas why?? I have to use Explorer, but that is the only site I visit that gives me any trouble.

Just a shot in the dark, but there's some XUL sites I have had trouble with... Seems to only work in IE and not safari or mozilla.
 
Cutting Myself on the Edge

Installed the new update the moment I found out. I rather enjoy the idea of burning my hands on the vivid fire of new updates despite the track record. What is it... 98.2% good? Two bad... Who cares. If you've not backed up in this digital age you should. Whatever way gets you there do it.

As for 10.3.4: Classic System folder updated. Safari is faster (still will not log into the designed on Mosaic only for Explorer internal company pages, Firefox will, well sort of). Mail is quite nice. Nothing crashed or burned, or caught on fire and became cinder or anything else resembling flames and destruction. Slight visual changes to Apple application interfaces. A personal favorite, spell checking stickies on the fly. A successful update. So, what's that 98.7% good? (numbers are fictional of course)

No kidding! I've been waiting for a usable version of Stickies since Panther came out. It's a shame they haven't added new features to it (like, uh, iSyncing them into the iPod [although 'iPod It' does this nicely] and Palm OS devices).

But is it just me, or did the Stickies version number jump from 3.0 to 4.2?

I forgot to confirm the previous version number before updating all my Macs, but Stickies on my one remaining Jaguar machine is version 2.0. I'm pretty sure that the Panther version has been 3.0.

After today's update it's 4.2.

That's a pretty hefty version jump for "Stickies no longer writes to the hard drive every five minutes" and fixing the long-standing positioning bug.

Maybe I'm imagining things and there never was a Stickies 3.0 ... straight from 2 to 4. Stranger things have been known to happen in the Apple universe ;-)

i'm going to wait till friday to update.no real reason ecxept i 'm not a "first one in the pool" kinda guy.

So you wait until everybody else has been in the pool...? :rolleyes:
Don't you know how many gross things people can do in a pool...? :D

Edit: Ok, I'm really getting off topic here... time to crash, its 2AM here in Norway...

batting 1000

I've now updated on an antique G4 350, three powerbooks, and a 1.8GHz G5, all without any problems. Permission Repair found three broken permissions (why does this happen? It's certainly no big deal, but why can't Apple make their own OS updates follow their permission settings?)

Mail is definately faster. Safari seems somewhat snappier, but that could be me paying more attention to the fact that Safari is simply a very fast browser :)

Cheers

Still have not updated, my stickies is v.n. 3.0

I never understood the fascination with uptime. Who cares how long a machine has been up?

Well, after OS 9 any uptime beyond four hours is good*. To the point where we want to see how far we can push it.

*Though my Centris 650 when used as a internet gateway/router was up for weeks at a time. It was/is, however, running System 7.5.
 
From the horses mouth.

The Safari in 10.3.4 contains only a handful of fixes and is no faster than previous versions.

Posted by hyatt at May 26, 2004 03:02 PM

So we can expect a newer version of Safari in the future that should be much improved.
 
For those who said Safari's brushed metal and blue highlighted menus looked as though they're a different color... I took screenshots before and after updating to 10.3.4- nothing changed for me.

Here's before then after...

As of 10.3.3, Stickies is Version 3.
That's what I thought.

Any idea why a Stickies app. with one documented bug fix, one undocumented (but very welcome) bug fix, and one change in features (now we can 'check spelling as you type' in our Stickies) would bring it from 3.0 to 4.2?

The app. is essentially unchanged. It seems to be a 3.1 release to me. Even if they were going to bump up the version number, why 4.2? What happened to 4.0 and 4.1?

Installed the 10.3.4 update on my DP 2 Ghz G5 a few minutes ago.

But after restarting there was an issue with ThermographX - I got an error message saying that it "couldn't find any compatible thermal sensors" and no temperature info was displayed.

The version of ThermographX I was running was 1.2.3 - I upgraded to version 1.2.4 and it works normally again, no error message.

Apart from that, no issues, everything seems just fine...
