Mac OS X 10.4.3 Imminent?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Good to see that apple is still working on making the current operating system better. It is nice that they can spend time working on software improvements as opposed to just security patches.

I am hoping that this patch helps fix my current string of automator issues that I have been working with.

i still feel that dashboard needs some improvements.. specifically along the lines of downloading widgets from apples website and having them integrate within dashboard.. many a time i have downloaded a widget and safari will abruptly close and give me a bad access crash report.. while not utterly annoying, still disconcerting nonetheless. :eek:
 
ever sense ive gotten Tiger, (I bought it I think about a month ago?) ive noticed that my G5 has not been the most stable machine. I think Panther was a hell of alot more stable then Tiger is being.

Yep. My favorite remark in one of these 10.4.3 threads so far was when someone wrote (paraphrased) "I haven't had any problems at all with Tiger, but it's been more stable since 10.4.2." That's some seriously strong denial, when instability isn't a problem :D
 
I have had 1 problem with my Mac and that was my Firewire port wasn't working - I had to restart twice to get it to work. but other than that, there haven't been any other problems whatsoever.
 
Any news on the release date? I am DYING to get it... iChat is so unstable for me, my iSight is worthless now... I am hoping 10.4.3 offers some fixes...
 
This imminent release has a life of it's own, now at 5 days. Similar to breaking news on the cable networks lasting for hours. :D
 
So where's this update then, boys and girls? I ain't seen nuthin' yet...

Anybody got any more up to date info on the release date?

I agree, 10.4.3 will be released when it's ready. We will just be surprised one day.
 
I'll cry if they release it Monday. I just made an image and executed it on one puter. Now I'm going to have to create another image and do the rest of them.

Don't rush, em. This is what got us in this mess to begin with.

I am now 1000x's more anxious about this release than I was a few days ago.

I just bought a new 17" PowerBook that has the LookupD problems and screen flicker issues due to OS problems.

I hope after dropping 2,700 bucks Apple fixes these problems in 10.4.3. Otherwise, this PowerBook is going back.

This is not a proud moment for Apple. Just ask the people with 1.8 G5 Single CPU Macs. Tiger crashes--yes, crashes them--about every two hours.

So I say, Apple take your time. The damage to your reputation has been done. Don't make it worse by not fixing ALL of the serious problems in this release.

my isight is worthless untill there is a client compatable with msn video chat. everybody i know has msn, nobody has aol or a mac! :(

maybe instead of waiting for msn video over isight, i should just convert the rest to apple! :)

just to mention, i am not rubbishing the isight, its a brilliant piece of kit, clearly the best quality webcam i've seen! :)

I say convert them to AIM. MSN is rubbish.

I've also had basically no Tiger problems. Other than the Mail hiding at login issue. And once my PB wouldn't wake from sleep. But that's about it.

I see from your sig you are running Tiger, so use Jabber then. Find a MSN<->Jabber gateway and your set. BTW, Google's IM is based on Jabber. My wife and I have been using jabber.org to do video iChat between my home in the US and my current work location in Tokyo. It works great. Jabber.org has a list of Jabber gateways to other services like MSN.

I'm the same way. I'm just having problems with Safari crashing and then my whole system will crash once every 12-15 days or so. That so annoying when you're trying to break your record uptime! I'm at 5 days, 12 hours right now. Record since Tiger came out is 25 days.
