man. you are way too sensitive
Ok forget about what I wrote earlier... The trojan will still execute if you double-click it. But it won't execute automatically anymore... So Apple doesn't rock that much
The reason why it didn't on my system is that I removed the terminal from the utility folder... Sorry for giving the wrong information
/me goes hiding in shame

phd said:Hmm I just did the updates and no longer have my external Lacie hard drive mounting....
Rebuilt permissions with no luck...
My USB drive didn't mount as usual, either, even after a 2nd re-boot.
Hopefully, it's nothing permanent but I'm a little concerned.

Any executable will run if you double-click it. Apple can't stop a user from running programs.
I Hate The Word "Snappy"
What is snappier...can it really be measured...are there different levels of snap? When I hear or read the word "snappy", or "snappier" my body breaks into uncontrollable twitches.

Is it me, or is Safari snappier??!!

I had problems with Front Row the first time I used it after this update because iTunes was asking me to accept something in the background and it just kept searching and not doin anything - as someone said before, it doesn't recognise when another application is holding things up. I had to force quit and then it wouldn't even start at all after that, and the volume buttons on my keyboard stopped working too.
I restarted though and now......better than ever! Front Row works way faster than before, really quick at opening folders and you can scroll through songs or artists at a much faster speed than before - very useful for those with big libraries.
I'm happy

Apple could choose to if they wanted to.slb said:
For example, Mac OS X could prevent you from running an application if its filename contains an extension for another filetype, e.g., KeiraKnightley.jpg.app, or if the icon was one for another known filetype, e.g.,
But since .app is always shown, they apparently didn't think such measures were necessary.
I just downloaded the security update for my "iMactel" and for some reason "AudioScrobbler" won't work (to those of you who don't know, Audioscrobbler is an application for last.fm members)...
Do any of you that are last.fm members, do you experience the same problem after this security update?
It very well could be the data base to last.fm... I dunno if the security update could be a factor to my problem.

apple needs to implement a new security practice for shell scripts similar to the way it works with Applications... If the script is running for the first time, warn the user... That would stop a lot of what we've seen.
Front Row
Updated to the latest version of Front Row on my G5 without any problems... Seems to work nicely. Just watched diggnation with it.
I like how it will now black out the second monitor if you have a dual-monitor setup... now if only it would let you choose which monitor to run Front Row on...

Did the update. Took usual amount of time...but now it's all messed up. I thing I did before any problems were noticed was repair disk permisions. Then I tried to get on my wireless network. Airport icon shows a great signal and the network shows I'm connected but there is no IP address and of course I can't get on. Went into keychain and it won't let me make any changes, it just locks up on me. When I've gone up to select other wireless networks, it locks up on me. Beachball galore. Somebody help a brutha out...
edit: Oh and internet connect going all beachballs on me too.

After waiting for a very long time (over 40 minutes) for my iBook G4 to restart, it seems to be stuck with the following messages:
- The following StartupItems failed to properly start:
- /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices
- - execution of Startup script failed
Can anyone please help?

Alright, figure out how to MAKE it work. Went into Activity Monitor and found that "airport" was running. Not using any processor or nothing. I decided to quit the process and then everything is working again but does the same thing after I restart. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Any ideas?

And Apple still didn't fix that: You erase EVERYTHING on your system when you type
`sudo rm -rf /`
in Terminal
There's no update that can think for you. Get over it.
Quick now: try to change a background piccie.
I can't -- anymore!
----
One hour later... Rebooted, and now everything is fine.
I had rebooted after installing the osX update, then installed iTunes after without rebooting, which then caused the "bug". (How odd!)

Hi again Oblivious. you got it working?! it still won't let me install because i don't have the proper machine. did you find a new patch for it or did you fiddle yourself? please let me know as i would really really like to get the new version working, especially if it's working as well as you say! thanks again!Oblivious said:Wow, the new version of Front Row is operating amazingly smoothly on my mini right now.
The only trouble is the Movie Trailers feature still doesn't work.
*EDIT* nevermind, i just saw your PM. I have an aircraft design project due today so i'll be busy until later but i'll give it a shot then. Thanks for the help! I'll let you know if it works so you can post for everyone else's benefit too.
PS: Do you guys think that, if no wireless network is available, that doing a computer-to-computer wireless connection would allow the shared music to show up in front row?
