    DVD drive keeps ejecting

    Very interesting, having the same problem on a Mac Pro and both a Pioneer drive that came with it AND a new SATA Blu-Ray drive I popped in it. Kinda driving me nuts with spontaneous ejects. Has been happening for a few months now and with even newer OS releases that I'm testing.

    Finder still at 10.4.2 on 10.4.3

    Just had an interesting Finder crash and one thing I noticed and subsequently verified with the About Box on this and other machines is that Finder is still at 10.4.2 on the 10.4.3 update. Seems odd, particularly after the Spotlight related crash that I'd had right after upgrading. Any...

    Apple Blunder gives Bill Gates iPod Royalties amounting to Hundreds of Millions

    Well, if Apple were to get sued by MS we would see some interesting things happen. First, Apple may be just the folks we need to fight against the wild and outlandish crap happening with patents today (perhaps it would be good to abolish patents to some degree or another). Secondly, perhaps...

    Adobe Systems Incorporated to Aquire Macromedia

    Yeah, it would be great to see it stepped up or somehow integrated INTO Photoshop while keep its own workflow or having a Fireworks/Photoshop workflow, but otherwise, I'm no big fan of Adobe as of late... If we catch wind otherwise we'll just have to go kicking and screaming. Also, I'm...

    Adobe Systems Incorporated to Aquire Macromedia

    Man, this announcement made me sick. I'm really worried about Fireworks and Dreamweaver now. I'm a long time Photoshop user, but I hate the thought that Fireworks might see some sort of ugly death or that the workflow may be moved back more inline with Photoshop. I sure hope that Dreamweaver...

    Apple Diagnostic Tests

    ElDiabloConCaca: Of course they wouldn't. What I'm saying is that they should make available the software that certified repair shops use so that more thorough beta testing can be performed, thus raising the level of QA for bug reports and tracking. I have found in my line of work that it is...

    Apple Diagnostic Tests

    Yes, I understand that. I'm talking about these being available from Apple to developers.

    Apple Diagnostic Tests

    It's quite frustrating as I've been running into some panics in Tiger and have been told that I need to contact Apple Care, however neither them nor the Apple Store will give me a better verdict than that they can look at my system but it will be 4-6 days before they get it back to me and this...

    Apple Diagnostic Tests

    What are the best hardware diagnostic tests out there for Mac OS X? I've seen very limited success with the Tech Tools Pro and such, and I'm wondering if there is something more "high powered" that will run the gamut on machines such as a Power Mac G5 dual proc system. Also, I'm quite curious...

    Automator

    Any good sites up for Automator yet? I'm hoping to find some good tutorials on working with Automator as the included help files seem to leave me wanting at the moment. Also, curious, just to scratch an itch, what would be the actions to string together to take the files on your Desktop...

    Newest known Tiger build: Mac OS X 10.4.3 8F8

    <whistling a tune> When in the world are we going to see another build?

    Newest known Tiger build: Mac OS X 10.4.3 8F8

    Also, lets start pounding Apple with requests to start an ADC/Apple employee only board through the ADC or Bug Report system so that we can all chat freely about issues and development questions. Seems they are receptive to feedback as such.

    Newest known Tiger build: Mac OS X 10.4.3 8F8

    Well, had a similar problem a couple of releases ago with Server, but it has since been resolved. Whenever that happens its a good idea to let Apple know through the Bug Report system, even though it might be related to Firefox. I have found that iGetter works very well masquerading as Safari...

    Newest known Tiger build: Mac OS X 10.4.3 8F8

    Anyone experiencing issues with iPhoto 5 and Tiger? Just had a huge library > 10000 images, freeze up and its chewing ~100% processor time. rm'ing the plist preferences does not help either.
