OS X 10.4.10 Released

[Whiskerdreams]

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).

Of course they may not be decimal points at all... Maybe they are periods...

>>how long until we see 10.4.11?

from the look of things, and the chaos, not too long.

a small glitch or two or security problem is usually issued as a small surprise 'security update'

Sounds like some major issues here.
With four months until Leopard (assuming no delays)
we COULD see a 10.4.11.

History being made before our eyes.
We can bounce our grandchildren on our laps, and tell them of the rare-er than sightings of the Loch Ness monster, of Mac updates beyond 10.4.9...

after upgrading to 10.4.10 my internet connection is messed up, airport says I'm connected with the max strength but safari, transmision and messenger are not working , they launch but safari won't load pages, messenger tells me I have no internet connection and transmision won't download stuff..

I have this exact same problem on my MacBook. Suddenly there's no internet connection. Switching AirPort on and off results in the MacBook being able to see ZERO networks and connect to jack all. Have to restart to get it to work, in which case it dies within a few minutes and occasionally causes a kernal panic.

What the hell? My MB is pretty much useless without internet... And since it has no internet, I can't even update from Software Update because my machine will kernal panic before the download is finished!

Will an archive and install from my 10.4.9 discs revert me back to 10.4.9??

Downloaded and installed fine.

Funny thing, Spotlight won't work. It comes up but cannot find anything. every file is "no results found'. i have done permissions, reset the Spotlight cache and rebuilt the database to no avail.

Very odd and disturbing. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions for a fix? I actually use Spotlight often.

Spotlight stopped working for me too. I've tried adding the HD to the Spotlight privacy list and then removing it and also tried

sudo mdutil -E /

but it still will not work.

EDIT:

I got Spotlight to work temporarily by:

1. Adding Macintosh HD to Spotlight Privacy
2. Restart.
3. Try to remove Macintosh HD from Spotlight Privacy, but nothing shows in Privacy List.
4. Terminal: sudo rm -ri /.Spotlight-V100
5. Terminal: sudo mdutil -i on /
6. Spotlight will finally reindex.

Spotlight works until the computer is shutdown or restarted.

Update:

While you wait, there is a easy workaround pointed out by Splunk23, that will allow you to use UNO:

"...Just navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/ and open up "SystemVersion.plist" and change the "SystemVersion" string from 10.4.10 to 10.4.9 and save the file. Then open up UNO and install it like before. Now just change the .plist file back to the way it was..."

We are working on UNO 1.6 for some time now.

UNO 1.6 is (again) a complete rewrite, and with the release of iTunes 7.2 we felt like "let's wait a bit and release 1.6 instead of updating 1.5".

But now with Tiger 10.4.10 update and UNO 1.6 not being at final stage yet, we will just do a small update to 1.5.

So, stay tuned for an update.

And thank you for your understanding and patience.

And thanks a lot for the incredible flow of feedback mails you people sent us!

Hmm...since updating, if my battery gets down to 29% my mac turns off!! No warning, nothing. Not even into sleep mode either, just straight off with nothing saved and no pulsating LED at the front.

I'm having the same issue with my MBP. SInce updating my battery life has gotten considerably worse to the point where if I hit 50% I know that I can expect maybe another 30 mins or so before it'll just shut down without warning. What's the deal?
