Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / April 2005Don't rush the store for Tiger....
... if you use any of the following heavily. (stolen from a pretty knowledgable Dartmouth group) From the web (mainly MaCnn), these (among many others) are broken by Tiger: 1. HP all-in-one Director application for scanning from desktop using HP all-in-one unit. Plain printing works using GIMP drivers/Bonjour 2. Popcorn 1.0 3. Stuffit 9.0 (Tiger said to remove it from disk, some people reporting a Stuffit reinstall works) 4. Quicksilver beta 35 (Mutt) - beta 40 due to be released any day (since Monday this week) 5. Desktop Manager‹but latest developer release said to be OK 6. Codetek Virtual Lesktop Lite 7. Fetch 4.03 8. Sonnet Tempo ATA 133 PCI adapter card‹likely needs firmware flash (Sonnet waiting to get GM(!)‹these people can't afford to spend $500 for Select ADC membership-sheesh) 9. Evocam 3.5‹kernel panics occasionally 10. Carbon Copy Cloner‹authentication error but can run from terminal 11. Haxies 12. And all of the Mail.app plugins, like MailPictures, GPGMail, and MailEnhancer. (Which admittedly is fair enough, since they were all using a private plugin API which could be expected to change.) GPGMail has promised a new plugin on Friday. Most people are reporting main apps like MS Office are OK although MS is saying an upgrade (yet to be released) is necessary > ... if you use any of the following heavily. > (stolen from a pretty knowledgable Dartmouth group) [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 3.

Since installing that I have experience more program crashes than ever before. And I'm not just talking Safari. > ... if you use any of the following heavily. > (stolen from a pretty knowledgable Dartmouth group) [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Most people are reporting main apps like MS Office are OK although MS is > saying an upgrade (yet to be released) is necessary > Could it be any worse than 10.3.9?

Or do I have to do something horrible , like erase the disk?? > > Could it be any worse than 10.3.9? Since installing that I have > > experience more program crashes than ever before.

Download the combo update for 10.3.9 and re-install. I've seen this happen before with 10.3.5, and the combo update fixed things.

Just to clarify for me (and possibly others!) to save me going to Apple: are you saying that there is a combo update to the original 10.3.9 combo update, or to reinstall the combo update that is the original?

A combo update is one that upgrades from the base point release (e.g. 10.3) to the latest version (10.3.9). The updates via software update are incremental updates.

The updates via software update are > incremental updates. so by downloading the 'Combo Update 10.3.9' on Mac's website should do the trick then (in theory)? Does anything else need to be done or will downloading it and running it do the trick? > >>> Download the combo update for 10.3.9 and re-install. > >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the trick then (in theory)? Does anything else need to be done or will > downloading it and running it do the trick? Always, as a safety measure, run disk utility and repair permissions on the boot volume, before any OS update. Signature"Bill Gates is just a monocle and a Persian Cat away from being one of the bad guys in a James Bond movie." -- Dennis Miller I ran Superduper and cloned my 10.3.9 system to a firewire external first, then formatted my main drive and put 10.4 on. Then reinstalled everything from scratch. Stuffit works fine for me. Toast is fine. Fire doesn't work but I got a hacked version which fixes the incompatibility. Macfixit.com might have more. I just need a replacement for Carrafix now so I can cap my upload speed on certain ports so my web server doesn't slaughter my download speeds. |
