The 10.3.5 update DID something for me thread.

10.3.4 was fine for me. So is 10.3.5.

Unreal tournament 2004 demo seems noticeably faster in frame rate (I have 12" PB rev B (1GHz) with nVidia 5200 GO). Other 12" PB users seem to be reporting similar gains in games performance after this upgrade.

I upgraded because I like to be up to date and now I have the latest drivers for the latest digital cameras etc.

Certainly nothing has gone wrong after this upgrade.

About 0.001% of people will care about this, but the hidden Display Options panel has been changed to allow separate disabling of each of the two ACD display buttons. My 20" ACD's Power button causes my G5 to freeze - disabling it stopped the problem. Now, in 10.3.5, I can enable the "display preferences" button separately. Not a big deal, but sort of cool. For me. And, yes, it's under AppleCare, but I don't want to go without it forever while Apple scratches it up to "fix" it.

Edit: to get to it: System Preferences...->option-shift-click on Display icon.

Hmmm thats funny, I haven't upgraded yet I have those options according to your attachment in my System Prefrences....

Better? ;)

At least it showed me that 10.3.5 did something - I saw no other changes!

I actually have been waiting to update but this the reason I am convinced too now. Thanks for the info, even if you thought it was irrelevant it applies to me!!! :)

Hmmm. Well, I could swear I was helping someone find the options very recently, and it looked the "old" way (one checkbox) to me. I guess it could have been 10.3.4 that did it - but I think I looked after that. Maybe one of the other upgrades did it? Obviously, if you haven't gone to 10.3.5, that wasn't the one that did it. So now I'm back to zero visible changes in 10.3.5. Thanks... ;)
 
1 minor and 1 major problem for me.

Well first with the minor problem. Installing 10.3.5 actually seemed to change some of my Safari prefs. I was wondering why when I tried to log onto certain websites I frequent daily, I would have to re-enter my username and password everytime. Sometimes I would get a dialog box dropdown asking me if I would like Safari to "remember the username and password". As per usually I said yes and next time I opened safari again I there was me having to re-enter my info. This was easily fixed by jumping through my prefs and getting everything setup but it was still a time waster.

Now on to the one that is really pissing me off! When I double-click any folder on the desktop it opens in icon view. :eek: I know the trusty "open the folder, resize, change the view and close" and the finder will "remember" that setting for the folder but it no longer works for me!!!!! I have run my cron scripts and repaired permissions to no avail. Everytime the computer goes to sleep or gets shutdown, I have to go through all my daily used folders to get the displays accurate. Maybe I am being too anal but this little bit of extra work with every ***** folder is slowing me down.

I give this "downdate" a big FU. :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Added new preferences for new ACD

I now have the the ability to put the computer to sleep by pressing the power button on the cinema display. All of this is adjusted in an options tab in the display preference pane.

I know I saw someone asking about this before, and no one was able to figure it out. Anyway, it's a great update for me, no problems here.
 
This happens about half the time I quit an application: I get 1 black pixel in the dock 1 pixel to the left of where the black triangle was when the program was running. Pressing ⌥ + ⌘ + d twice fixes it and so does dragging the icon out of the dock and back in. Its not that big of a deal but it is something.
 
I'm not really sure how to explain this... but here goes:

When changing file extentions on the desktop, or in list view (example: .txt to .html), pressing return, or clicking off the item, would result in a locked rubber band selection state. Not a big deal, but annoying if you had to do it every 5 minutes. Well... it's fixed. It doesn't do that any more.
 
10.3.5, and more specifically Safari 1.2.3, fixed a very annoying little bug where you couldn't add images to the lightbox at gettyimages.com - and now I can:) Nothing was broken and everything seems at least as fast, so I'm happy.
 
It killed it....

Just got the 10.3.5 update last night, and wish to god I hadnt. Took out the communication between OSX and my ATI Rage pro. I could get in in safe mode until we zapped the pram. Now its done for. Cant get OSX up on my monitor at all. Trying to find a way to fix it without forking out for a new video card :(

I know how you feel to a certain degree. I updated my iBook 900Mhz G3 to 10.3.5 early last week and by Thursday night it was freezing constantly in the Finder and Safari. Start ups, Shut Downs and Restarts took a good 5-6 minutes to happen. It even froze when I tried booting from the Panther CD.

Last night I had Kernel Panic after Panic and it even prompted me for Unix code on the Gray start up screen, so I booted off of the Panther CD (worked the first time, go figure) and took a look at the Disk Utility. The HD needed repair so I repaired that and the permissions were the worst I have ever seen. I went to restart on my HD and the damn thing sat there with a blank gray screen for over 20 minutes.

I booted off of the CD again and told it to boot from Classic. NOT A SINGLE FRICKIN PROBLEM HAPPENED THEN!!! The iBook ran the fastest it has since we bought it over a year ago. I am getting Tech Tool 4 tonight and going to try that to fix and optimize OS X. Even if it doesn't fix it and I have to reformat the iBook at least I'll have Tech Tool 4 to keep the system alittle more robust.

Oh and if I have to reformat, I am staying away from 10.3.5! 10.3.4 was just fine for me...
 
Cannot change proxy settings

Hi,

Since I installed 10.3.5 last night, whenever I try to change my proxy settings, System Preferences crashes.

More specifically, it crashes when I untick the box "Proxy Server Requires Password" for the HTTP Proxy.

It does this even after restarting, repairing permissions, zapping pram etc.

Anyone know how I might be able to fix this?
 
the 10.3.5 update significantly improved my system. To explain... I had just bought a brand-spanking new dual 2.0GHz G5 and from day one was having problems with devices and CD's and other peripherals mounting on the desktop. I was on the phone with Apple tech support pretty much every day for almost a month trying to work through the issue... they eventually forwarded a bunch of my system information to the development team at Apple to see if they could make sense of it (yes, it was THAT BIG of a problem) and eventually, in the midst of it all, I installed the 10.3.5 update and ever since, my system has been flawless... (Knock on wood).

So, the update helped out my system significantly. And I'd like to think my problem was considered in the programming of the update:)
 
Windows networking is as bad as ever - I can see this being a continual problem with Panther for me. I hate to say it but Win2K is far more robust when it comes to finding other systems on the network.
 
I lost access to Address Book and iChat doesn't seem to work. I am running 10.3.5 on a Quicksilver G4/867 1.5GB 60Gb+80Gb box.

How funny you should mention that - ever since I updated to 10.3.5, my Windows networking works flawlessly - better than 10.3.4, which would sometimes drop the connection for no good reason. However, the success is only one-way. I can connect to my Mac from my Windows machine perfectly, but my Windows machine refuses to play nice with my Mac when I try to connect to it. I get -36 errors (some data could not be read or written), which I didn't get under 10.3.4.
UPDATE: Windows networking now works properly. I can see my Windows machine in Network, log in, and create a quick link to it in my Dock. I'm happy with 10.3.5 now!
 
10.3.5 broke my ability to mount my Sony Clie TH55's memory stick on the Mac desktop (achieved using Missing Sync 4.0). Apparently Mark/Space know about this but there's no fix as yet :(

Otherwise everything seems fine.
 
It messed me up bad -- Update

after loading the latest upgrade on my 800mhz g4 I am no longer able to run third-party programs such as explorer, appleworks, word, photoshop 7 and others.

I get error messages like this

The application "AppleWorks" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "2<AppleWorks><AppleWorks><CarbonLib><VisibleLength>"
I ran disk utilities and disk warrior but it didn't help

UPDATE -- After posting this I tried redownloading the upgrade and reinstalling. So far, 10 minutes later, everything is opening at least so I seem to be back in business
