I just realized that it was there today. It's very helpful to have, especially with the number of widgets available these days. Very, very nice.grapes911 said:

This was looking good but my dock keeps acting up. Before it'd lock totally - no magnification etc. - but now things won't open up once hidden; I have to quit the app (namely Quicktime) totally then re-open the file.
Looks like we'll need a 10.4.3 sooner than hoped.

Everything is fine with mine 24 hours later or however long it has been for me, after having to do two hard restarts on my powerbook it started up normally and seems to be going well. One thing i will say, for some odd reason using AirTunes and iTunes no longer takes up an ungodly amount of RAM, under 10.4.1 it was taking up 70MB+ of RAM now it is taking less than 30MB. And when i was at school yesterday there was a new authentication to log into the wireless internet network.
I am happy

Haven't tried on mine yet, but I suggest downloading the standalone updater from Apple's site.

If you haven't done so already, try using GarageBand or rebooting OS X - that should fix it. It's happened periodically to me since before the 10.4.2 update, if there's a way to prevent it I'd appreciate the info!
But I'm lucky to have had no major issues with Tiger and this update was no exception.
Feels great to use again after visiting my parents, their computer is a perfect example of all the Windows XP criticisms found on this forum (and even my virus-free laptop is a pain in comparison, I didn't realize how much so till I returned).Installed and impressed with new Widget manager and other tweaks like improved scrolling in Safari.
Still have a problem with Safari after a few hours use where it brings the system to a grinding halt .. quit and restart Safari and everything is ok again. Think I'll use Firefox for a while to see if it's any better.

The problem where expose (in the show desktop mode / F11) would not stay "exposed" because of widget conflicts, is gone, so that's great.
OK, this flat-out works and works well, even on low-end Q2DE-capable hardware like mine. I put that line in Terminal, rebooted, and fired up Quartz Debug. It showed QE and Q2DE were both enabled by default, and then I maximized and minimized windows holding the shift key and saw "framerate" (for lack of a better term) doubled over plain QE.Dokter_Mac said:

I am pretty sure that, although the key was set to both effects on my iBook at first, it defaulted to spotlight and not changing the input method. But you are correct. At some point, gladly, the bug I was having, that the computer would forget keyboard shortcut customizations on reboot, which was making this choice to have these both be the same even more irritating, was resolved.
On my first reboot with 10.4.2, I am still seeing changes to the dock get reset -- if I added or removed an item and then rebooted, the dock went back to its original condition. Since this was the reboot involved in updating to 10.4.2, I'm willing to write it off. Anyone still see this behavior in Tiger?
Also, does anyone who has an iBook still experience that a BT mouse can wake up the computer when it is closed (the iBook is not supposed to be able to be awake when it is closed)? My last KP resulted from my iBook trying to wake up closed because I clicked on the mouse while trying to turn it off and put it in my backpack. It happens intermittently though -- at least sometimes, the mouse will not wake up the computer in this configuration, as it should not.
EDIT: Ugh...I walked home and got another KP on wake-up that was traced to the iokit.... The only version of Panther on which this ever happened was that one bad-seed dot release... 10.3.8 or .7 I think? This is really getting frustrating. Even though I did a relatively clean install, I think I need to think seriously about reformatting and reinstalling....
I am having problems downloading it for some reason. It keeps telling me to open it up with another application (pkg).
My software update also crashes everytime I try and use it.
I've tried disk repair permission and no avail.
Anybody help?
