OS X 10.4.10 Released

[GeekLawyer]

for some reason it said that there were only 13 comments here... needless to say I think there is more... what is going on?

Someone forgot to repair their disk permissions and zap their PRAM.

System audio volume? Fixed!

Fixed how? Fixed like I can remove the duct tape muting my speakers, fixed?

 

[czeluff]

You think the OS can just magically assume you no longer want a file-system mounted?

XP does it....

 

[verniesgarden]

Grr... No Olympus E-510/410 RAW support lovin'. Oh well, maybe next time around...

have tried using adobe's lightroom? they built a rather nice editor

After 5 reboots on my quad core MacPro the machine still refuses to allow access to the admin account. The MAIN account on this machine. It flashes the logon screen, permits typing the password then simply comes back with the logon screen. Frustrating. All other accounts are accessible.

I hope this is fixable

I had that problem once. Follow those instructions:

Thank you! That fixed it!

XP does it....

No it doesn't - You have to eject the drive from the taskbar, and its more complicated in Windows (3/4 button presses as opposed to one)

 

[MattG]

Installed...seems fine so far!

What does it take to put out an update where you don't have to EJECT thumb drives before removing them, without an error popping up telling that you removed it improperly??

The eject requirement is a safeguard to ensure that there are no active programs / processes using any data on the drive. It can be annoying, but it's intended to protect your data and system.

 

[rrijkers]

Don't seem like alot of problems fixed is it? Are the kernels in the new MBP's fixed?

 

[Toadstool]

XP does it....

You still have to "Safely remove hardware".

 

[NewSc2]

Still no fix for the Core Audio Firewire driver issues? Come on Apple! How many years will it take you to fix this?

I know that a beta is included in the Firewire SDK but it's a beta and it doesn't work perfectly, and does nothing for certain interfaces. Besides, the beta has been there for a while, you could have easily made it ready for release by now.

I thought creative people was Apples main target.

What Firewire Core Audio driver? Is it the one where audio turns into beeps and static? Had that happen to me before, but after I reformatted I've been fine.

After a long restart I am back in action! No problems as of now...

XP does it....

No it doesn't. FAT and NTFS are just a little more forgiving of unclean unmounts then some other filesystems are.

You are still supposed to eject the media in Windows before you unplug the device to ensure no lost data.

No it doesn't - You have to eject the drive from the taskbar, and its more complicated in Windows (3/4 button presses as opposed to one)

Ejecting from taskbar is no longer necessary. I've been doing it for years...just pull out the thumb drive / external hard drive / whatever and it's good to go. I've never had any sort of data loss...come to think of it, I don't know one Windows guy who does it via taskbar. I guess we're a little wierd down in this area huh?

 

[72930]

when does the official "waiting for 10.4.11" thread go up??

It already is up, here

If I recall this is the first time an Apple OS has reached the double digits for an update. I could be wrong though.

There has been only one precedent, as far as I know. The version of AppleScript included with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger has the version number "1.10". So I'm not too surprised that Apple went with 10.4.10.

You must of got the "Ultimate" Version.

ARG! Must have! "Must have" or "must've", but definitely not "must of". Erg.

WRONG! Look in the taskbar...its just like you CAN just pull out a drive from OSX, but you risk the same dangers in both OSs...

I just hope it fixes this damn memory leak. Rebooting once a day is for Windows, not OS X.

What's the big deal about a .10 update? It's not like those are decimal points. If that were the case, the mere fact that there are two of them would've been sparking debate years ago. Why now?

They're just separators, like those in an IP address. Nobody craps their pants over those. And there are EVEN MORE OF THEM!!!

The big deal is the lamers who have held on to their ludicrous assertion that software version number components don't move independently.

If I had a bit more time right now I'd go back and call out all of them who called me various versions of 'crazy' about this over the years.

My MBP hung three times after the update. Only a PMU reset made it boot again.... And an awful lot of USB errors/notices in verbose startup...

i had a little trouble on my MacPro where it would restart to the grey screen then hang, but then i realized i didn't unplug my usb drive prior to restart, mac sure nothing other than maybe a keyboard is plugged in

I hope you're not storing anything like the cure for cancer on that drive...!

You think the OS can just magically assume you no longer want a file-system mounted?

Windows does it. It writes the data to the USB stick immediately as it might be removed at any time, *nix OS's (including OS X) don't do this.

If you just pull them out on OS X you can (and I have) got data corruption.
