Mac OS X 10.4.9 (8P2111) Seeded to Developers

[mkrishnan]

sorry for putting people asleep with my long winded post

No problem...in any event, I have no problem with flash being farther optimized. Although I do still hate sites like the Sony site that we were discussing that are all cutesy stupid fluff, and I am going to hate them no matter how fast the stupid wheel spins around. Sites like the Garmin site that was linked use Flash well enough and I have no problem with them.

Count me in among those that hope this update fixes the networking bugs still left in Tiger... I'm looking forward to this update.

I'm beginning to think that 10.5 is going to be released with Vista. Apple may be leveraging its press.

I like it.

You mean the "consumer" version of Vista. There is already a version of Vista shipping but only being sold to large (stupid) corporations. It is also available as a download to those with MSDN subscriptions. I have a released version of Vista Ultimate installed on my machine right now (in a VM).

But I don't think Apple releases Tiger in January. I think you are looking at an early March release date. The worst thing apple could do is rush things just to beat Microsoft to market. I've worked with Vista, and there is simply nothing there that Apple needs to rush things for. If Apple is smart, they let Vista arrive with a resounding thud, let the dust clear the air, then soar overhead with Tiger a little more than a month later.

Look forward to Apple spilling the beans on the "rest" of the OS/X features they kept under wraps at MacWorld, but don't expect them to ship.

That site's very fast on my iBook G4 / 800. In fact only a slight difference between my iBook and my iMac G5. Are you really having problems with it?

Just the same old "menus-going-behind-the-flash" problem.

yea that problem gets real annoying. some times it wont allow the links to be seen at all.

...eh... about to download...

...this where they break tiger so that we truly appreciate leopard.

They broke Tiger and I have been saying this for a long time (10.4.4 at least) in the Apple Discussion Groups and the posts have not been pulled.

So . . . .

I know the predilection is to blame 10.4.8 and Flash, but....

I tried this on my iMac G5 and my iBook G4, both 10.4.8, and I tried FF2 and the latest Safari on both of them. Flash 9, I believe, also on both of them (BTW, how do you tell what version of Flash you have?).

Anyway, across those four configs (iBook/FF, iBook/Saf, iMac/FF, iMac/Saf), none of them displayed this behavior....

Make shure you have safari selected and click help then installed plug-ins. and scroll down till you see something about java and flash. in the installed plug-ins it shows java is 1.3.1 and shows 2 flash i have 9.0 R19 and 9.0 R20.

it is the way safari handles flash/java is what's wrong cause i tried firefox and that problem wasn't there. and not to mention the way they are done for the Macintosh platform is another thing. but both firefox or safari in OS X dont do well with java or flash that i have seen not when compared to a real low end windows machine (500mhz celoron) cause java and flash works real smoothly no matter the browser. so its a problem with safari, java, flash, and OS X.

A couple other ways to find Adobe Flash Player version information:

• Open the Adobe Flash Player page by control-clicking (or right-clicking) on a flash object and clicking "About Adobe Flash Player #…".

• Open the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, select Flash Player.plugin, run Get Info (command-I), and locate the Version under the General section.

Thanks -- mine has 9,0,16,0, according to the site... which doesn't appear to be the very latest (9,0,28,0). Of course, it works for me...

I doubt G3 computers will support Leopard. Highly unlikely.
