Mac OS X 10.3.9 Now Available

Just finished installing 10.3.9

Everything seems to be fine expect with Safari and Java but hopefully the Security Update fix will sort that out 🙂

Since the update, Safari (1.3) crashes whenever I visit this page: www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp

Does the same thing happen to anyone else?

Works for me. there is a Java applet on that page though. Try running Java from the Terminal. If it crashes it sounds like you have the Java problem that several others have reported. A fix that seems to work is reinstalling security update 2005-002.
 
Totally screwed up Safari.app and Mail.app

Totally screwed up Safari.app and Mail.app. Since I didn't have a web-browser, I wasn't able to find out that SIMBL was at fault. After several frustrating hours struggling to get online, I bit the bullet and in a fit of rage reinstalled OSX from scratch.

Doubly angry now I've found out what was to blame, but honestly, how is it possible that Apple didn't realise the incompatibility between the new WebKit and SIMBL?!

Spending hours reinstalling all my stuff now. Next up: the whole frickin' Apple Pro suite (sans Motion, because I'm too poor). Mathematica 5.1 refuses to start: must beg Wolfram Research for a serial number. Don't have my iWork CD with me - seems to work but God knows what may be missing from the library. Fonts have been raped (no surprise there).

Etc. etc. etc.
 
Mail Loads Images

Mail now remembers that you clicked "load images" on an email, and loads them in the preview pane when you go back to that email after looking at another one.

Thank you for fixing that annoyance, Apple! 🙂
 
downloading a combo update for 10.3.9

It seems early adopters of this new OS update (10.3.9) are having some issues with Java-based programs and other applications. Do you think you can minimize or reduce the chance of problems if you install the combo update for 10.3.9? Maybe the other posters who said they had problems with this update downloaded from the software update feature from System Preferences. Any comment on this?

I just reinstalled Security Update 2005-02 (tip from Apple forum) and it cured my Java problem. Java is now working fine with Safari.

Please expand on that, if possible. Every designer reading that will want to know more...

Yup. I may have been unclear. The Update didn't rape the fonts: my angry reinstallation did. Most of them ended up in /Previous System/Previous System 1/ but some of them didn't.

Infuriating, but it shouldn't worry most users.
 
Safari does not work after 10.3.9 update

I used my Ti PB as a guinea pig for the 10.3.9 update. It had 10.3.8. Now after the successful combo update from Apple website, I cannot use Safari anymore as it does not open. I guess I will keep my 15" PB at 10.3.8 (working well without problems) and my 12" PB at 10.3.7 (working well without problems). I think the old adage comes into play: if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Repair permissions before the download and after the donwload (X2). Re-start twice to no avail.
 
My Safari is proper screwed up because of 10.3.9. It won't open, it just crashes (repaired permissions twice)
 
10.3.9 is working OK for me so far, except that Safari 1.3 has killed PithHelmet! 😱

The Internet....it's full of ads....

That's amusing. I left that tip on the Apple Forum based on kc8apf's message in this thread.
 
Any word on whether this fixes the missing mouse pointer on wake for powerbooks? If not, I'm going to throw a serious fit.
 
No one has mentioned OpenGL

Immediately after this update, I was able to increase my video settings on World Of Warcraft by a SUBSTANTIAL amount, running on my lowly dual 867 G4

Has anyone else noticed better performance in games? Tell me I'm not going mad, I found the increase to be quite astounding
 
Ok got Safari working, unfortunately you guys have to uninstall/delete ALL the files associated with plug ins, such as search for acidsearch/saft/safari enhancer and delete all of the files. Got my Safari working again.

BIGGEST improvement is the resizing!! So smooth and much much much nicer! Very pleased and also start up times are noticeably faster.
 
Wow, going back on these forums will now actually return you to your previous position down on the page like its supposed to! And it only took 6 months to fix 🙄
 
Safari won't load any graphics on news.bbc.co.uk

I cannot believe java doesn't work - I need Java working for work.. i hope reapplying the security fix works...
