OS X 10.4.1 Now Available

[mklos]

You people have no faith in Apple. I've never had a single bit of trouble with any OS, or OS update. This sounds like a great update.

As far as fixing problems in iPhoto, well thats an iPhoto problem, not an OS issue. So you'll have to wait for the iPhoto 5.0.3 update for that. It would help if you let Apple know about that problem and provide feedback for iPhoto.

Time to go and buy Tiger...

There's quite a few fixes in this update but there's still a lot of small bugs left to fix. It'll probably take another one or two updates to iron out all the remaining obvious bugs. I know for a fact that the menu bar clock is still not communicating with the International preferences as I am still unable to modify the format of the displayed time.

That is quite true. The only time that I had a trouble with an update is when I modified the os with skins and stuff and thats really my fault for screwing things up.

But I guess it happens. Computers, like humans, aren't all perfect.

Well, except me. (Before all of you get angry, that was just a joke)

Quite right. I've never had any problems with OS X or any other the updates. Installing now with complete faith.

Being a guinea pig now.

snort, snort....

Actually, more like "Reeeet, reeeet..."

Interesting that in reading through the full list there are fixes for three or four little tiny annoyances (like no scrollwheel support in Widgets) that I'd noticed personally, and at least a half dozen bugs/oddities that I've seen reported on the web in the past week (mostly Airport and .Mac issues). Looks like a lot of the rough edges are getting smoothed out.

Personally, though, the only complaint I have is that I've been seeing more actual system instability on my G5 than I'm comfortable with--two freezes on wake and one other odd systemwide stall, and it's a largely unmodified clean install so I don't think it's leftover gunk. Not a terrible record for two weeks of heavy use, but I'm used to weeks of uptime (months on my G4 at work), so hopefully there is some lower-level stuff that this helps with as well.

Most Important

Does this fix the problem with MS Office 2004 reporting that nearly all my fonts are corrupt?

 

[danm]

I've immediately noticed that the expose choppiness has been rectified.

 

[mduser63]

Just restarted after the update, and everything seems to be working fine. The iTunes widget seems like it may be working better now too. It'll take a little more time with it to tell for sure.

I've been using OS X since 10.3.4, and I have never had a problem with any update. That's with 3 Macs, all three of which started with 10.3.4.

 

[Flying Llama]

Sadly this probably won't even affect me, 10.4.0 has been running sweet so-far... but nice to see a speedy update!

software update doesnt show anyupdates for me

Same here, so I'm downloading it manually.

 

[andysmith]

Installed - everything seems fine, except the Growl plugin for mail doesn't work

Edit: Browsed Growl's site a bit, and found a solution.
1) Quit Mail.app
2) Browse to ~/Library/Mail/, and rename 'Bundles (disabled)' to 'Bundles'
3) Fire up Terminal, and enter: defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 2
4) Start Mail.app again and it should work

Color Profile

Have any of you noticed is this fixes the problem with the default color profile not being available with fast user switching? I had this problem and just turned off FUS and it seems to be okay.

It would go from Color LCD to Generic RGB. Color LCD wasn't available until I rebooted.

 

[tjwett]

was really hoping to see an Automator update in there, it really needs one badly.

 

[Stella]

Doesn't look like this fixes Automator actions non ability to run outside of the app itself correctly with some actions.

Neither the Finder crashing randomly when you open up an application Package.

:-(

Um... well although I "somewhat" agree with you, does anyone remember the
10.2.6 (or was it 10.2.8? ) debacle where Apple had to pull the update for a few days... Oh, and the 10.3.0 upgrade that screwed up Firewire drives.

Although I really do trust Apple to the core, I can't blame anyone for being cautious after these 2 screwups!

Must be that new antipiracy feature of Tiger

Works fine here in Sydney

 

[DrEwe]

iPhoto bug not fixed....

but otherwise smooth update experience. I guess the previous poster is correct - we will have to wait for an iPhoto update to fix the annoying "automatic saturation" problem....

 

[Nermal]

Same here, so I'm downloading it manually.

... and now that I've downloaded it, it tells me that I don't have enough free space! (I have about 30 GB free) Time to repair permissions

Edit: It's installing now

 

[orlando12]

Anybody know if this update fixed the autoupdate java stuff for things like mlb gameday??

 

[varmit]

What is "updated drivers" for Core Image mean??

better, faster graphics and probably updated APIs too.

 

[iSaint]

Same here, so I'm downloading it manually.

Software Update has quit about six attempts in a row, wonder what's up with that?

 

[DTphonehome]

Done

Just updated...so far no major OH DEAR GOD I'M ON FIRE!! DAMN YOU 10.4.1!! ARGH!!

 

[poundsmack]
