I HATE the MDN Jamster ads.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this fix the terrifying Quark Saving To Servers Bug™.
Well, it is Tuesday after all…
Update DOES fix Keynote import of complicated Powerpoint presentations!
Files that use to crash Keynote during import now load just fine.
What’s a Quark?
seriously, everything’s just fine here. install went smooth on my Titanium
I came in the office yesterday after a one week vacation, and my machine will not start up. All I get is gray screen. No Apple logo. No spinner. Anyone got a fix for that? ‘Cause I can’t download a damn thing at this point.
DiskWarrior. No Joy.
TechTools. No Joy.
Crap.
Yesss, iSync finally talks to my PEBL!!!
have you tried booting from the system cd and run disk utility, etc?
raterbator – hard to believe an Apple computer would do that to you. but then it is your fault, not apple´s. quit complaining.
Finally OSX ensures icons are spaced correctly when viewed on desktop. That soooooooo pissed me off.

Downloaded the 64MB combo updater – 7 minutes
Installed the update – 37 seconds
The first reboot – 2.5 mins
That was painless.
Now… to test the changes in Safari, if any I can see.
Jeez, MacFanBoy#12, sounds like Rasterbator was making a cry for help, not a complaint against Apple.
Safari’s java speed test was around 4.5 secs under 10.4.6, now it’s 4.07 under 10.4.7 and Safari 2.0.4.
Apple musta tweaked something under the hood.
audiovox 5600 still not supported
This fixed a problem I had with my Verizon wireless EVDO card (PC 5220). Whenever I used it after having my PowerBook (Al 15″) connected to my 23″ Cinema Display, the whole computer would freeze whenever the card was turned off or whenever the computer attempted to sleep.
Rasterbator,
That only happens to me when i boot up with a cd in the drive that the puta doesnt like, usually one made by microsoft!!
Try holding down the mouse button to eject anything in the drive that it doesnt like.
Busta
Rasterbator…
It sounds like a bad ram chip to me. I had this happen on two different macs of mine over the years. If you have more than one ram chip in each, start by taking one out and rebooting, then the other ect.
I even had a ram slot on my old G4 350 go out on the mother board, when I finally figured it out I just ran with three slots of 256 instead of 4.
Hope this helps.
After installing the update, synching my address book to the Sony-Ericsson K700i is working great again. Thanks Apple, you made my Tuesday. This has been my main peeve with Tiger.
Anyone know if this does anything about Macbooks freezing for a couple of minutes at a time, and suddenly going into kernel-panic type fanblasting status while supposedly sleeping? (Put my Macbook to sleep and in my bag on the train this morning, when I took it out of the bag the fan was going full blast and the machine felt like a burning piece of charcoal.)
rasterbator, if you have 2 macs you could try starting up the bad mac in firewire target mode (hold down the t) – at least you might be able to access your files.
raster – is windows working on your Mac? blame bill gates.
RB – so you using a Windows computer to log in here???
Meta Data file exploit resolved? yes or no
Test here, run the quicktime video.
