Yup, have same thing going on here. C2D MB. Thing is, I've noticed it even before the .10 update BUT it seems more frequent now. Not sure what it is because when I'm just using the MB speakers it doesn't do it.

Strange stuff for sure.

Same thing here. After some seconds of silence: pop. When using sound again: pop. MacBook Core Duo, 2GHz, 2GB, external speakers.
 
I always install the combo just to make sure everything is covered. Others think it makes no difference. I do. Call it superstition or just plain old conservatism. I'd rather be safe than sorry something was overlooked due to a glitch in a previous update or a hidden correction in something from a previous version.

Thank You.

Shall do right now.:)
 
Hmm, interesting discovery. (May have been already found, don't care to read the other pages)

I tried installing a piece of software and it told me I need 10.4.3 or higher. It is reading the update as 10.4.1. Weird.
 
I apologize if this has been answered, but what is the difference between the Combo and the Patch?

Combo will update anything from 10.4 (10.4.4 for intel) through 10.4.9 upto 10.4.10 in one hit.
Patch will only update from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10, it cannot be applied to 10.4.8 or earlier.
 
Installed on 1st generation MacBook (black), after the usual 2 reboots, no problems to report. No audio problems either, and I've been watching TV on it since the install was complete.
 
Ahh, yes. I remember that. I don't even remember what my PowerBook was doing, but it was NOT good. Apple pulled it, then re-released it... and whoever had a WORKING computer didn't even want to install 10.2.8.1 (lol) because they were afraid it would make things even worse. :)

I don't think anybody had a pleasurable experience with the (first) 10.2.8.

I've been installing and upgrading OS X since the beta and I've never had to reformat my drive and start over. What exactly are you people doing to your machines? Or am I just that lucky.

Today I updated my Apple TV, a 500MHz G4 (remember the Super Computer), a dual 1GHZ Quicksilver G4 and my 3GHz Quad. All without problem.
 
I think you were looking for ≠ (option + =, or some awful ALT + four-digit number on Windows). :)

The problem is that software makers are using a convention that involves numbers and decimal points / periods -- whether they intend for it to be considered as a decimal number or not. If software makers used commas (10,4,10), dashes (10-4-10), or some other character, it wouldn't have the same alternate connotation. Sure, using two decimal points indicates that it's not meant to be taken as a literal decimal number, but that doesn't eliminate the fact that the digit immediately to the right of a decimal point is taken to have the same precision as the digit immediately to the right of another decimal point, regardless of what other digits might be present to the right of that digit.

On the other hand, Apple could have placed the updates another digit out, inserting a zero before the first nine updates (10.4.08, 10.4.09, 10.4.10), staying more consistent with decimal notation but allowing for more than ten updates. (Of course, had Leopard been out this Spring, we might not have seen a 10.4.10.) At least we haven't gone for the zaniness of Firefox (version 2.0.0.4 anyone? looks more like an IP address than a software version).

10.4.09 just looks weird, and when does Apple ever plan on releasing an eleventh version of any version of OS X? In my opinion, if you see 10.4.10 and assume it means 10.4.1 that's your own fault. If they were going to say 10.4.1 they'd just say it. And Firefox 2.0.0.4 does look weird, but this version couldn't be 10.4.9.1 or anything because it's the same kind of upgrade as 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 was, not just a minor fix of 10.4.9, so that would be even more incongruent with their current version naming than (oh noes!) adding a zero to a non-number.
 
hehe im a 'she' :p
you must be like the first girl ever on the intarweb! ;)
everybody knows its just greasy linux users and old men (pretending to be 17 yr old "sexually confused" girls)

Thumb drives are set by Windows to be "write immediate" devices. It doesn't cache read/write operations and execute them later like it may with a hard drive. So as long as you've closed all apps and aren't doing any file copies or opening folders on the drive, things should be fine.

There's no reason OSX can't do this.

um. actually, as much as microsoft says its "safe" to use thumb drives this way, past experience with corrupted data has taught me to remove/unmount devices "safely/properly" before unplugging, regardless of the settings for read/write cacheing.
 
In my opinion, if you see 10.4.10 and assume it means 10.4.1 that's your own fault.

exactly. anyone complaining about the mathematical value of 10.4.10 and NOT understanding that a number can't have two decimal places has no valid argument to make.

its this simple people.

10.4 = number or string

10.4.1 = string
10.4.10 = string

and for those who understand code.

PHP:
if(inYourMind("10.4.1" == "10.4.10"))
{
	echo("You are an idiot");
}
 
Forgive me if I upset anyone, but this has to be said. I've been chuckling somewhat in the past at this discussion regarding 10.4.10 and even from its release.

It's so sad that many individuals make out as if the world is going to stop because its labelled 10.4.10, seriously what the hell. Who cares. Can nobody count, too many act as if they have just discoveed 10 comes after 9.

It's almost as bad when we hit the year 2000, oh the world will end!! well not to the same extent :sarcasm: but nevertheless the same fuss lies within.
Deary me, all this fuss over a number. What will we think of next! :rolleyes:

As for the second, now I appreciate there will be many new Mac users browsing here but for others these two reboots are not a new thing. If I remember correctly these 2 reboots started since 10.4.6 and has remained since. Which has been well known now.

Now play on boys and girls! :)
 
Installed it and everything's fine, except that now, when I quit playing music, a couple of seconds go by, then I get the sound like I'm turning my speakers on and off. That's about the only way I can describe it. Odd. My speakers are the Bose Companion 2's....and they don't have an on and off switch. Gonna install the combo update and see if it fixes it.

I didn't read through the whole thread. Anyone else having a similar issue?
 
Fatal error: Call to undefined function inYourMind() in /Users/backspinner/Sites/tigerversion.php on line 3

:D

you need to include this file:

PHP:
<?php
include('brainwavereader.inc.php');

function inYourMind($code)
{
	$mind = new BrainWaveReader();

	$mind->findBrain('backspinner');
	$mind->attachToBrain();

	$translated = $mind->convertCodeToThought($code);

	return $mind->processThought($translated);
}

?>
 
Just curious.....

Why do you believe that OS 8.6 is still supported? Is there a link on the Apple website? I thought support for 8.6 was dropped.
Well, you can download 8.6.5.2.54 from there. That's a funny decimal. Shouldn't it be...oh, never mind...
 
Installed the Combo update and it's still doing it. Hmm. It's not just when I'm playing music, either. It's just like every once in a while, I hear the "bonk" sound like when you're turning off your speakers. That's about the only way I can think of to describe it. Very odd.

This is the first time in my 3 years of Mac use that I've had something really annoying like this happen with a system update.
 
This update appears to have borked my system (MacBook). After install and reboot the login screen comes up and after clicking on my name I suddenly go to a console screen (where I can login, but only play in textmode).

The only error I find by examining the output of "sudo dmesg | less" is "display: Not usable".

I wonder if this is a hardware or software failure, but still, my advice is to install this update when you have some spare time ahead.
