????

so are all the complaints that people post in forums just made up then apple?

Oh, so the Sleep issues my MacBook and MacPro have had since Tiger are only in my imagination because--as quoted above--Apple has taken care of all bugs in the past.

Sorry Apple Discussion moderators, my bad. It's not that Apple makes bad products, it's that God makes bad users.

People are complaining in large numbers about private beta versions that Apple hasn't released and are under NDA?

Or are you confusing 10.5.3 with 10.5.4?


Are you using the private beta of 10.5.4? This article is about 10.5.4, not about Tiger. Past bugs fixed in 10.5.4 would do nothing to improve your PAST experiences--you'll have to wait until you are actually using 10.5.4 to judge those fixes.

This article is ONLY talking about 10.5.4, and mention of bugs fixed in the past refers to bugs fixed in the many previous seeds of 10.5.4.

The current OS is 10.5.3.

(Also Apple only claims to have fixed bugs that have been caught, I'm sure. Bugs that have never even been caught will have to be fixed another day No OS will ever be perfect.)

I think MobileMe may launch before the 11th.

"Summary
As part of the transition from .Mac to MobileMe, Web access to .Mac Bookmarks ends on June 30, 2008 (06-30-2008). After this date, you will no longer be able to access or update your bookmarks at (www.mac.com).

To avoid losing any existing .Mac Bookmarks, sync them with Safari on your Mac before June 30, 2008."

I'm guessing that 10.5.4 and Mobile Me are released the same day or MobileMe goes live no more than 24 hours after the 10.5.4 update. I was thinking the 7th, but perhaps it will be on Tuesday, the 1st.

PS: If you're still syncing your bookmarks to Apple's servers so I don't understand why they are removing this simple web-based function.

PPS: Since your data is synced instantly, I'd like there to be an auto-back up feature built into MobileMe so if my phone is stolen or messed with I am not permanently losing everything at once. Sure, I can do a backup from Time Machine and sync again but that requires a precise search. For instance, bookmarks for Safari are located in ~Library/Safari/bookmarks.plist. While this isn't a big deal for you and me it's still a chore, especially if you have to replace all your auto-synced data from different locations. Imagine someone who isn't familiar with the file and folder structure of OS X or someone who is tech-tarded.

Also, since the auto-sync is already setup, I'd like to see Mobile Me with a remote wipe feature. For example, your iPhone gets stolen so you log into your Mobile Me account from a computer somewhere and choose to remove all personal info from the handset and un pair the device from the Mobile Me network, which includes removing the saved password, which will be wiped along with all your other data.

Having a stolen device send back GPS location data or to actually write 1s to the drive would definitely be asking Apple for too much.

That's ambitious. I suppose, then, that OS X and the Adobe CS3 installer are no longer in mortal combat . . . InDesign no longer must jump over the tops of the trenches through a hail of machine gun fire simply to run . . . Leopard no longer takes longer than the entire works of Beethoven to boot up . . . . Nvidia drivers no longer render graphics like a 1970s PacMan machine.

As they say, I'll believe it when I see it. At this rate, some enterprising individual is going to have to come up with a hack to get Tiger to run on new machines.

Vista is gonna roll over you all!

Apple is losing it. What new bugs will this update have? I wont be able to save an InDesign file to the local HD this time.

whatever, another nail in the coffin.

What's the source of your info that 10.5.4 will be so much worse?

According to previous reports, it actually fixes the CS3 saving bug.

Presumably you're trolling at random

Back to my comfy coffin of Mac usage

That's the spirit!
