Not necessarily, no. The point isn't a decimal point - in fact, there are two points. This is OS X version 10.4.9. There could potentially be a 10.4.10. - noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -3/+59What on earth made you think that would work?
- ttntyler, on 10/12/2007, -7/+60Just go buy a mac
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -6/+56Even stupid OSX86 users would have turned OFF Auto-Update...
What ARE you smoking? - fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51My iSight now fires frikin lazer beams. Marvelous.
- mysticmcj, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48"Improves reliability when faxing in France or Belgium via an external Apple USB Modem."
Well thank god for that! - christianw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45hey mac gamers (ok wow players heh)
this update has updated nvidia and ati drivers. - ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38I love this comment from the MacRumors thread talking about the update:
"For some reason when I logged back in after the update, the Setup Assistant with its swoopy Welcome! movie decided to run, and I had the speakers up kind of loud. Ooo-WOOOOoooo-oooOOO! Scared the living **** out of me, it did."
I also like this one:
"Yah, I'm still stuck at the startup screen. My little circle loader is having a blast. "

- Ecco2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Actually, I use this. And I'm in France... I guess it won't be really usefull to a lot of people, but my point is that some people are gonna appreciate this :-)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30WHAT?
- datisit, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32Finally, now there are things for MacBreakWeekly, Maccast all the other podcasts to talk about!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Morons shouldn't be allowed to pirate software.
- jmontes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30No problem, just restore from backup. You did backup first, right?
- ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Also appears that volume levels can be set higher, especially on iMac
- 5plic3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Wow.. talk about skeptics! FYI, Apple credited me (Andrew Garber). See CVE-2007-0724 here:

Merlin Mann FTW. - klawz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23Logitech cam working now that didn't work before!
- Firehed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Reverse trolling:
Apple preempts security issues. Microsoft waits around until exploits are in the wild.
How about we just not bother with this one; it means absolutely nothing. The only reasonably fair comparison would be multiplying exploits that have been abused by the user base of the affected OS (giving a sort of net-effects number). I don't remember hearing of any issue for either OS X or Vista, but you can bet XP wouldn't fare as well. The install base of 64-bit Vista is probably a tenth the size of OS X's anyways (although from what I've heard, it's much more inherently secure than the 32-bit version). - fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18A mythical wireless creature.
- catcatcat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21YAY!! One step closer to leopard!
- fluidfoundation, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22Dumb. Ass.
- auxplage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16The Intel update is only 99.4MB for me.
- longhorn49, on 10/12/2007, -9/+25finally only after like 5 dev builds
- Radan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16@monergism:
You know, just because you download a patch of 150 MB, doesn't it mean that you will lose 150 MB of space. Most of the stuff is just changes of already existing code and theoretically you could actually gain HD space by downloading this update as they might optimize the system by removing unnecessary lines of code. Also, these updates includes a quite lot of stuff that isn't actually updated, which is just used as a backup incase that you for example have changed some files which could interfere with the update (like a skin or something similar). Besides, 150 MB isn't really that much today, it takes like what, five to ten minutes to download it? Though it feels kinda strange to restart your computer. I can't even remember when I did that last time. I think it was when the 10.4.8 patch was released. ( - richardtallent, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Uhm, 163MB is not unreasonable. That will take about 10 minutes on a moderately-fast cable Internet connection (3Mbps).
By comparison, Windows XP Service Pack 2 is 266MB. - Z_Man, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17USB video conferencing cameras for use with iChat?
Does that mean that you can use your non-iSight webcam with iChat now? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I always reboot in verbose mode (hold Cmd+V at startup) after installing a patch, to watch the progress of any post-boot install processes that need to run. Sometimes those can things can take a while. Otherwise you just get the regular grey boot screen for an unnervingly long time.
Speaking of verbose mode, if you have an Intel Mac and the kernel has been updated, the first screen you'll see is the bootloader caching the new kernel. That's not remarkable, except that the bootloader screen is displayed in old-school 80x24 IBM-PC/MS-DOS console font. Scary stuff, indeed. That is a font and video mode that will truly never die. - protocolor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13yea, it's normal for these kinds of point releases to have update rollups.
- SuperSunny, on 10/12/2007, -6/+19That sucks for you! It's working beautifully on my MacBook.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Remember to always follow best practices for point updates:
* Run disk Verify, if it's been six months since you did it, you don't know if you could have a slightly wonky filesystem header that could really screw you over come rebooting
* Run Repair Permissions before, and after the patch
* Always switch off, or unplug external drives when updating
* Reboot two or three times to let the caches rebuild and get OS X back up to speed - cvk_b, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Feels snappier... lol.
- tdskate, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Is it me, or is the audio on my iMac much louder now?
- threemagic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Do a repair permissions..
:) - Ecco2, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Guys, is it just me or font handling seems a bit wacky ? I mean, take Terminal.app for instance. Typing a "z" or an "&" gives a pretty unusual result. I just compared it to another Mac running 10.4.8, and there's a huge difference. Another example : open up a pure ASCII file in TextEdit.app, and type a "*" character. It looks weird...
Do you guys have the same problem ? - spidoman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13oh crap I think I'm turning into a mac fanboy. I dugg this, heck I'm even kind of excited to install it, and it has NOTHING that I actually care about. But hey, UPDATE!
Must go boot into windows. - threemagic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10again.. do a repair permissions.
:)
if you don't know how..
call up Disk Util.. select your HD.. select repair permissions.. restart. - cheez, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1021 days... than 14 days... Leopard must come out next tuesday!
- gamerply5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Does that mean Leopard at NAB, along with an octo-core Mac Pro?
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Personal Area Network?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Perhaps Ecco2 would like to provide some final, closing commentary to this highly interesting thread.
- rkettner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@pants428
I don't know if it is worth the cost for you... but Remote Desktop lets you basically automate that down to a few minutes on one machine. Have you looked into it? - ajmoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Apple Option O F does nothing on the Macbook Pro (or any Intel based Mac, for that matter) because they do not have Open Firmware. If you do have a PPC Mac, however, you can run reset-nvram from the prompt, and then reset-all to restart the computer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVRAM - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9great, I just updated 100 macs last week to 10.4.8...
now I have to do it again... - Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Volume levels on my intel Core Duo iMac have doubled - basically I have my computer at one third max volume to hear any song from my giant iTunes library in perfect clarity.
- SpacedCowboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8/me looks at 8GB RAM, fibrechannel-to-Xraid, 1900XT GPU, dual 30" monitor, quad-3GHz xeon mac, and thinks "underpowered, compared to what?"
/me then remember "unix workstation" at college being a 16MHz DECstation 3100 box, all those years ago...
Simon. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7The thing is, the release dates for the new OS version had already been announced when the 10.2.8 and 10.3.9 patches were released, making it clear that these were the final updates. I'm not so sure in this case.
10.4.a
10.4.b
