Apple has begun “distributing the first external software compile of Mac OS X 10.4.9 to members of its Apple Developer Connection,” AppleInsider reports.
AppleInsider reports, “Apple reportedly asked developers to focus their testing efforts on system components such as .Mac connectivity, Bluetooth, Bonjour, FireWire, Graphics and USB. Other areas of testing singled out by the Mac maker included Adobe Flash, Automator, Dashboard Widgets, Fonts, iChat video conferencing and iSync.”
AppleInsider reports, “Mac OS X 10.4.9 is also said to focus heavily on enhancements to various synching technologies, bundling fixes for Mac and syncing, Sync Services Engine, Sync Services and .Mac Sync, and rsync and extended attributes.”

Anyone think this will be the last point-release of Tiger? They never released another (non-security) update after 10.3.9. I know there’s nothing stopping Apple fro releasing a 10.4.10, but do y’all think they might stick with the precedent of 9 minor releases after a major release?
MW: Another, as in “Another point rlease” ?
To Standardmess:
Uuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…….. yeah.
</sarcasm>
Are you serious? Of COURSE we won’t see a 10.4.10!! Going by my knowledge of the decimal system, that would be otherwise known as 10.5.

rules of mathematics and logical reasoning are stopping apple to release 10.4.10. Steve beat his cancer and bought the company that develops Logic so he is almost there but only afterwards they acquire Mathematica there will be possibility for 10.4.10. See, things have to make sense.
Syncing, Bonjour, iChat, .Mac?
Sounds like they’re adding support for the iTV rather than bug fixes. Maybe to support bonjour in the iChat mobile for free wireless local network voice & video comms to other mobiles or desktops.
I would like .Mac to enable me to buy a movie, then Apple puts an alias in my Movies server folder which syncs to my Mac which offers it through iTV. Reformat my drive and over time I get my movies back again. Apple can update the movie’s resolution by changing the alias on the server.

Strange Annoying Bug with the latest Intel Update for my Macbook – OSX (Tiger). As soon as I downloaded, installed and re-started, started noticing that my dock keeps re-starting. At first, thought this was an incompatibility issue with my Dashboard Kick Start (3P app) and on uninstalling it, found the issue was still around. Basically my dock is restarting, every time I click on a new window/application, there by producing all unwanted and super effing annoying things like selecting text, double click not working the way it needs to, unable to shift focus from one app to another in expose etc etc..Just wondering if anyone else found this issue.
And…….I hope this fixes the fix.
