Colonel Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Today, Apple seeded a preview of Mac OS X 10.4.9 (build 8P2111) to developers. The following description accompanied the update: A number of fixes have been documented. Among those, include bugs wtih Sync Service Engine, rsync and extended attributes, .Mac Sync, Rosetta, USB Modem and caller ID, Bluetooth device pairing, USB modem busy tone detection, QC Engine, Core Graphics and HID Manager, PDFKit and MallocGuardEdges, and Automator Actions. Apple encourages developers to focus in specific areas such as Adobe Flash, bash, bind, Bonjour, Dashboard Widgets, FireWire, Fonts, gnutar, Graphics, and iChat Video Conferencing. The delta update is approximately 160 MB, currently only available for Intel only, and is available to Select and premier ADC members only. Thanks Adrian Fogge for letting us know in this thread.

kbe Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I hope this release will be the most stable version of Tiger on our homebuilt macs. It would be perfect if we avoid a nightmare with tons of litle scattered updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPDM Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Oh dear. So quick. It's clear why they did this. Not because the "fixes" are so important but to annoy the hackers. A new upgrade with a new kernel. Sure rub it in our face... they wanna hack the hackers. Apple is really starting to {censored} me off. And adobe just the same. I mean come on... we all know that Photoshop works pefectly well on previous OS 10.4.x versions, so why shoehorn the bloody thing on 10.4.8. Sure they hoped that 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 kernel would discourage the hackers (which alas didn't happen). But it took far longer to get the bloody thing running on our Hacks, and thy know it. No doubt it'll be harder. I think I'm gonna ditch OSX altogether. I knew Steve Jobs is more awfull then Bill gates but this is ludicrous. -Just release the bloody thing for (assorted) general PC's and be gone with it. We stated over and over agian that we are willing to buy this OS BUT with the hardware of OUR choice not that crappy, badly assembled {censored} from Apple. So if Apple-ppl were really smart they'd input the expertise from the hackintosh community to improve the product for general PC's. But no.... let's make yet another kernel with some "suposedly" important upgrades to the USb modem that nobody ever uses anymore. Yeah Right... credibility 0!

They made the OS 'free'(i mean that it could run on other non-apple machines) once, when Jobs was kicked out. Then everybody started to buy those ugly 'clones', the first thing that Jobs did when he came back to Apple was to glue the OS back to the real macs. And that is good too, when wou want a stable computer and the factory can garanty you that it works, buy a mac, if you want a uglier, more crappy computer with virusses and stuff, buy a dell or whatever with windows on it! And macs aren't overpriced (specially the mac pro's: they cost less than a dell with the same configuration!), you get a wonderfull design and other things, the prices on the site are for a complete pc, not for just a ugly thing without a screen/keyboard en stuff...

Bearcat Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Lol, great! a new update to make us pull our hair out trying to get it to work. No hair pulling here, Maybe when it's released on Software Update, but until then, it's only a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiT Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Nice one with the update. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I am wondering abaout the soon release date. So Leopard won't be far away in time. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adm_kenshin Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Come on, what is this? This is the first time I've heard people complaining about Apple updating frequently (and this update is for 2007, it's only beta now). And if you beleive the only improvements are for the USB Modem, then why update at all? You don't need to, y'know. I thought one of the reasons people were hacking OSX was because they thought it was fun (or at least rewarding, a challenge to overcome), and just not because they wanted to run OSX on their hackintoshes. Either way, the 10.4.9 update isn't here yet (for consumers), and it's probably not critical. Stop whining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberracus Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 im with you bro.... stop whinning and go back to windows if you dont feel good with this... AND Apple isnt gonna sell their OS alone never, because they are Hardware vendors primarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmaniac Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Apple isn't forcing anyone to "update". Its not like your computer or software will stop working UNLESS your upgrade immediately. If your 10.4.8. system works fine, let the early adopters sort out the problems, and upgrade when the various issues that come with it are sorted out.
