Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P2111) Seeded to Developers

Also, if I try and eject a network drive because it isn't reachable (such as the other machine has been shut down, or I've turned off my wifi), then the whole machine crashes, and it's the same for everyone else I know who's on Tiger.

If you're patient it does timeout after a while. I do agree the network stuff is a bit rubbish, but it is under Windows too, so Apple doesn't fix it (or maybe it's just very difficult to fix).

Anyway FTFF (Fix the ******* Finder) for Leopard is what I'm hoping for.
 
i do hope they fix more then they break in 10.4.9, i would love to see allot of stuff fixed in tiger. but i don't really see to much wrong with tiger other then it can get bogged down by something that shouldn't choke a OS like it does

please please apple make tiger what it could bedont make this update worse than 10.4.8 . to me 10.4.8 fixed allot of stuff for me that was either not working in 10.4.7 or barley working that 10.4.8 fixed and made the software work
 
10.4.8 destroyed airport on my intel mac. Sure, I sound like a nag, as I go on and on about this, but it is truly inconvenient and annoying having to reboot to fix problems when your only means of connecting to the net is via airport.

Every single solution I've tried hasn't fixed it completely. Please, for the love of mac, fix intel airport in 10.4.9 :(

They released an Airport update recently, did you install that yet and see whether it fixes things?
 
Bestbuy? Software?

This better fix the problem with Safari regarding flash and drop down menus.

For example, on BestBuy.com, when you try and select an item from a drop down menu (such as Software under Computers), the menu flickers or disappears.

...Drives me crazy.

You shouldnt be looking at Best Buy for software anyway! They don't have software for Macs so whats the point!!

everybody-

Just because software versions aren't numbered normally, does not mean I can't hope that they will be.

For people to SHOUT and reference crap over something that's not to be taken seriously is a little bit over the top, don't you think?

You all take using a computer waaaaaaaaay too seriously.

Zwida, you might enjoy a little laughter once and a while. You take all the fun out of being a fanboy.

Dude, don't be an ass.
You made the same troll yesterday at appleinsider .
The troll itself is almost funny, but the fact that you then bitch people out for reacting to it afterwards is obnoxious. Quit it.

I suppose the release of this final decimal point in the Tiger Zone will portend the arrival of Leopard no more than about another 3 months. So this release should happen sometime next month on the way to an early Spring release of our next good buddy complete with top secret surprises for all of us. :D :cool:

That aiport update is only for portable Intel Macs. I havent updated it yet because Ive heard it hasnt helped some people and made peoples working Airport... not work.

However, I noticed on the MP that I got the update choice from software update

Well, I guess for the people that already have problems it cannot do much worse. :D
 
I just wonder if this is actually necessary to upgrade. The only thing i use for bluetooth is an Apple BT Mouse(non mighty), and I never ues iSyinc which it is suposed to fix. I will download it if it contains security updates meant for all systems, and all users, no matter what you do.
 
keeping my fingers crossed...

10.4.8 hosed my ability to print from Office and iTunes. No amount of waving the rubber chicken around has fixed it. I'm hoping that 10.4.9 does the trick.
 
It's a pity Apple doesn't just use roman numerals for the entire group of segments within their software (and particularly their OS) releases. That way many of us would have the satisfaction of saying "No, there won't be a 10.4.19, there will be a X.IV.XIX release".

So there! Stick that on your mouse button and click it! :)
 
How far can they go?

Diatribe said:
Why can't people realize that .9 is NOT necessarily the end of the updates and there could always be a .10 or more?

Is this concept really that hard to grasp? :confused:

People that think that things have to stop at 10.4.9 should check out the scanner program, VueScan. It is up to version 8.3.86. Maybe we'll start hearing that things need to change as they won't be able to go above 99?

I dont see why certain people have their panties in a ruffle-

10.4.9 comes out. Gee, what comes after 9? Build TEN!
Since 10.5 is still 5 month away, and with 10.4.9 out soon, we might get one more update-10.4.10.

I can see people jumping out of windows and off bridges over this one.
The stock market will plummet. Wars will start, Alliances will constantly change...There will be an Apple channel and a Vista Channel on Cable, each trash-talking each other with similar ads.

And God forbid we should see a 10.4.11.

There will be rioting in the streets, as the National Guard is called out to protect Apple stores, and in Redmond, Microsoft-just because they have a ninny name like Vista for an OS..
:eek:
 
Has anyone else noticed that when watching anything flash-based in safari... If you deselect that window, the framerate goes down by at least 50%...
Click to expand...
I would say that that is intentional so if you aren't using safari (the window is not selected) the framerate drops so that you can carry on doing other work without the flash affecting CPU usage. Flash is pretty CPU intensive.
