Mac OS X 10.4.3 Imminent?

Not open for further replies.
Come on Apple, just release it. It's tuesday : )

Don't they release them on Tuesdays? If not today then another week? I don't want to wait. I want to make a clean install for ages now and waiting for 10.4.3 :)
 
Wouldn't it be awesome if FrontRow was included with 10.4.3?

Here's hoping it happens. If not, I'll just get the hacked version eventually.

Wow. Plus you have 550 new bug fixes. Way to go Apple!
Microsoft fixes one with a 5MB Patch. Apple fixes 550 for only 100MB
 
100MB!! Well, it's a good thing my DSL order is going through. LOL. I'm just a little mad at Apple. Five days after I spent 2+ hours downloading iTunes 5 over my dial-up connection, they release 6!!!!:mad: Oh well. I still love them!:D

Ah, the days of dialup...I download a 100mb file in 25 seconds.:)
 
Frontrow

I saw on another forum that they think Frontrow Framework will be included with 10.4.3. I wondered in another thread what the all over the board bluetooth on all models meant. It has been reported that people get Frontrow to work with all sort of remote devices including WIFI and mobile phones. Maybe thats it - only negative might be that they want to get some sales from IMAC's so they might not want to add this for free except some sales of remotes?

Well I wouldn't bother with 10.4.3 then because 10.4.4 will be out before you finished downloading.

Nah, apple slowed down with their updates in Tiger. In Panther and Jaguar you would be right. I remember 2 updates within the same month but now we get an update each 3 months.
 
I've been waiting to upgrade to 1 gig of ram on my iBook until Tiger get's updated. It's kind of laggy right now. I hope that will be fixed with the update.
 
longing for updates to fix this and that ... why are mac users laughing about pcs? I'm a happy pc-camper and was never longing for an update, even though SP1 & 2 did some good ...

I think there are quite a few (a quiet majority) - myself included - who have no problems with the current Mac OS release, though Apple do throw some cool things in with updates - including performance improvements. I'm not sure many Windows users can say that about updates, which in my experience have made PCs run slower rather than faster.

However, SP2 does appear to be good enough for average computer users...

This is something i've found funny too... reading many of the threads asking for advice about switching in these forums would suggest OSX was perfect and problem free, it's only when we have these updates do we see the issues people have with it. Take a look at the OS X 10.5 Leopard thread on page two, any potential switcher reading that would NEVER buy a Mac lol

Hopefully, this update is released at some point this week since I will be on travel next week and will not have internet access. I guess it doesn't really matter though since I haven't had a single issue with my PowerBook with 10.4.2.

Wouldn't it be a lot safer to upgrade after your trip, especially since you're not seeing any problems?

If you find out that the update has hosed your PB, and you're away from the network, wouldn't you be like a Boston fish?

I need my laptop when I travel, therefore my rule is to never make any updates within a week before heading to the airport....

Just realized that Tiger is out for half a year now and Veritas has not managed yet to make their Net-Backup client compatible with it (it took at least half year with 10.3 and 10.2 as well but that is no excuse).

It probably does not help that Veritas is owned by that very Mac-supportive company Symantec.

The Release Notes for Veritas Netbackup 6.0 list both OS X 10.3 and 10.4 as supported...

I have got a couple question about these updates(meaning the 10.X.X <-- ones) do we ever see the introduction of new things i know this is extremely vague. I am not referring to like spotlight or dashboard but like what do you think the chances are we'll see things like the widget manager added to this?

I got to admit i am lacking in the knowledge of what goes into these updates but it seems like some of the stuff you all are mentioning that needs to be fixed would be simply changes in code that would fix certain bugs and what not, if this is the case what on earth could send this behemoth of an update over 100megs?

Finally I'm not scrapping the bottom of the barrel for free space on my HD but with an update of this size if it is replacing faulty components and software does it optimize by removing items it installs itself over, or is all of this +100med update going to be things installed on top what we saw with the Tiger .2 and .1?? Thanks in advance guys you are all such big help!

Edit: One suggestion I would like to throw out there is Apple please please please stop making dashboard such a damn memory hog when not in use, if it takes a milliecond longer to load when i press F12 then so be it, but i don't want 50 to 60 mbs of memory going to my weather and cnn.com widgets when i'm not even using them. For the poster that wants proof or a link PM and I'll give you my address so i can show you how these processes are slaving my ram even when i'm not using it!!!

I believe the RAM is given up once a program needs the RAM. Otherwise, until it's needed Dashboard doesn't give it up.
 
I honestly don't see what the hoopla is about...FrontRow is just a way to have access to your media a bit easier than going through individual players...nothing too revolutionary.

That sounds like very sound advice AidenShaw. No reason to upset the apple cart.

I do really enjoy my Boston Scrod, delicious.

i doubt anyone's going to spend $1300+ just for Front Row! yes, the imacs are cool and yes, front row is cool...but certainly not THE reason to buy the new imac.

i certainly hope that front row will be available to all somewhere down the road, maybe even in the next update...but it's not the most important thing apple should be doing with the update.

Let's just hope they fix iTunes and add "show multiple songs" so you can filter your iPod.

Oh, and also fix Safari so when I accidentally hit command-q (while using tabs) I get a prompt asking me if I want to close all tabs.

And Santa, I want a sparklin' wizard to show up when I use pages...

Hey I think they will put Front Row in with 10.4.3. I just have a feeling they will. I would love to sit 5 more inches away from my iBook and have a bluetooth remote so I can listen to music and watch dvd's.... hey....... I know I can control iTunes with PHP over the internet. I wonder about DVD Player?... Gotta try this bb in a few.

I got it working! I can control this from the internet now =D
 
If Tiger is finally commercial quality, I will be happy for no other reason than I can go back to posting "Happy Apple Thoughts" on the boards and in my consulting business.

It has been pure dark clouds since the release of Tiger. I just hope Apple learned their lesson, and are going to make Leopard amazing.

Nope.

Sometime in the future? Probably. Maybe a key feature of Leopard.

In 10.4.3, not a chance, sorry.
