Has anyone else had probs w/ bluetooth after upgrading?? After installed my Apple mouse and keyboard would not connect... Restarted, and then my computer said I no longer had a Bluetooth card... Restarted again, and everything was fine.. phew


In the Utilities folder, run Bluetooth Firmware Updater.

I was having issues with connectivity until I ran this last week.

So far 10.3.9 is running great, no issues at all.

Changes noticed so far:

1. Safari's bookmark bar has all the defaults back again. ...[snip]

I'm going to give this bit a thumbs-down. I suppose I should be grateful to Apple for upgrading my Safari to 1.3, but adding Yahoo, eBay, etc. to my Bookmarks bar without me asking for it? Just not classy. But no, it's not a big deal.

Safari has also seemed a bit sluggish at first, but that is just a meaningless early feeling, I'll give it some time.

It appears to have fixed the ambient lighting problem that appeared in 10.3.8 and meant that the PB's screen was constantly flickering in variable lighting. I've turned it back on and it seems to be working as it used to pre 10.3.8
OMG thank you! I thought my backlight was just failing...and since I live in Florida, where there's no AppleCare, I thought I was screwed. *quickly goes to download 10.3.9*
 
Hope it fixes the bug I've been having where Mail quits every time I save changes to account settings. That only happens on my Powerbook, so I won't be able to test it until later (using Powermac now).

Edit: Seems to have greatly improved Safari's pop up blocker for me too, as I've visited several sites that previously always resulted in a pop up, and so far none of them have successfully launched a popup.
 
It seems like my Java support won't work at all now. I can't run Eclipse, Netbeans, java or javac from the command line, and my Tomcat server isn't coming up at startup.

Any clues?

What does "Use transparent window" in the safari debug menu do (besides get rid of window shadows)? That seems to be new. Someone smart here should spend some unnecessary time figuring it out. :p

if page doesn't define background color like
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF>
content will be transparent
it's easy to check:
start your apache server (system preferences->sharing->personal web sharing
go to you ~/Sites folder and edit your index.html file (remove BGCOLOR
attribute from the BODY element so it should look like
<BODY>
in safari go to the site localhost/~<your user name>
so if your username is smith
go to the localhost/~smith and enjoy

Where is this 'debug' menu you are talking about?
 
Please clarify Bookmark Bar comments

I am downloading 10.3.9 now, but do not want to lose all the entries on my bookmark bar...is this happening to everyone?

open your terminal window and run the following command
defaults write -app Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1


and restart safari

You won't lose the entries, they'll just add Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, and the News section, as well as the usual Apple links. Just feel free to drag 'em out when you update.

On my system, both the estimated time and the speed are now displayed simultaneously.

Ahh... cool, I just realized that if I resize the download window to be a bit bigger, I see both. Thanks.

That still doesn't solve the crashing issue though. I've narrowed down my safari crashes to be every time I hit command-W to close a window or tab. Pretty weird huh? Can somebody else please confirm whether this is just me or not?

It does not clear your existing bookmarks, it just replaces the intitial bookmarks from when first time using safari back in the bar along side you current ones.

don't have any problem with java
what do you see if you try to run java -version from command line?

Okay, now that I realized that was worthless for me, how do I get rid of the Debug menu?

Turn your monitor 180 degrees and type that command again. ;)


(or replace "1" with "0")
 
What issues?

I hope it fixes some of the issues that .8 brought up with my pb
What issues did 10.2.8 cause for you? I'm having some problems apparently related to my Firewire that may have begun after the 10.2.8 update.
Titanium PB 800 MHz.

Very interesting 14 days till Tiger and now we have Panther 10.3.9. I will wait until tomorrow just to see how it works for everyone.
 
View Source?

Hey!

View Source used to be Comand-Option-V and now it appears to be Comand-Option-U.

That's going to be hard to unlearn.

And what does Comand-Option-V do now? Is that something in Tiger or something?
