10.2.5 is here boys and gals...

The only thing 10.2.5 seems to have done on my computer is mess up the close / minimize / maximize buttons on iPhoto and iMovie. (it makes them to0 close together and lower on the menu bar)

Got the same problem, also noticed that there is a 5sec delay if I try and move the iPhoto window?

Window buttons look odd in iCal too, not as bad as iPhoto (they don't look right when app in background either?).

I would have thought that the drawing of the buttons was a system function and so should be consistant across all apps, maybe each of the iApps does it's own thing???
 
for those of you it's not too late for, dont forget to back up your httpd.conf file (if you use it)

You find it at:
./private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

you'll need to sudo cp it:

cd /private/etc/httpd
sudo cp httpd.conf /users/[yourname]/sites/
[enter password]

that will back it up to your sites directory.

That one caught me out when I updated to X.2.4 :(
 
I just did the update on my powerbook g4 500
and it worked fine, 1rst boot took a long time, i am sure it will be better next time.
I am new to apple, haveing just changed from Linux Mandrake, on X86, and i have to say OS-X is awesome, 10.2.5 made my PB much faster, i am happy.. :)

Say, does anyone know how to get rid of the apple startup, and see the kernal info like other Unix's?

thanx
 
TRITON: hold Command + "V" when the computer starts up and u should see boot status info instead of the apple (the apple still appears for a while though I think)
 
I'm not sure the 'verbose' startup is still there. I remember they've changed key-combos once... But try it out. :)

Btw... Those complaining about the long startup time, I'm pretty sure Mac OS X is just repairing the harddrive structure at that point in the bootprocess. If you have this after each restart, you should start up from the Installation CD 1 and go into the Disk Utility. Repair Permissions (until there's no errors) and then the disk itself (until there's no more errors).
 
I did a COMMAND+V when I booted up
and it tried to grab an IP address for years..
however, I think that's because we ran out of ip addresses at work
but after that it booted up smoothly.
 
Yeah, they should push the IP getting to the background and let the workstation start up despite having no 'real' IP yet. Then again, boot times are quite irrelevant if you have a portable. :)

Yeah, but although I hate that they replace it, they do back it up for you as httpd.conf.applesaved. They do that with all replaced stuff like that.
 
another thought i have, is,
is there a way to change the picture they use for the apple, ie: the old happy face thing?

these forums are great by the way. thanx

10.2.5 seems to have fixed my IRDA and nokia phone, i can dial using it as a modem now :)

That old happy face thing was the original Macintosh. Too bad Apple nixed it. :(

You might want to poke around http://www.resexcellence.com. They have boot panels and a bunch of other mods.

Indeed they do, i do it myself as a precaution. That way I know it's done.

[update to my earlier post]
I've now updated to 10.2.5, and my original httpd.conf seems intact. No changes made. Everything worked as normal. I had to reboot a couple of times as I had some screen redraw problems, but it all seems ok now.

It does seem faster.

For example (albeit a trivial one), iTunes.

Before the update, it took 5 bounces, then a 4 second delay before it appeared.
After the update, 2.5 bounces and 3 sec delay.

Trivial I know, but a simple and valid test nonetheless.
 
10.2.4 killed all communications for me - modem, adsl, firewire etc. The only means of operation was via a 10.2.1 re-installation (not a good move...)

10.2.5 has revived everything...

APPLE NUMBER ONE!
 
Has anybody else noticed that 10.2.5 brings major inconsistencies to the window widgets?

Apple is still fixing the 'bug' they've introduced with Mac OS X 10.2, which is a _real_ Brushed Metal theme that apps can use.

iTunes 3 still has 'hardcoded' Brushed Metal, just like QuickTime, so it isn't updated with the changes of the system version of Brushed Metal (updated in 10.2.2 and then in 10.2.5).

iPhoto and iMovie are also 'strange breeds' of Brushed Metal applications. They only do it half right. I guess we'll either see a 10.2.6, updated applications or a fix in Panther. Wonder what this does to third party themes, though...
 
Does anybody know if they fixed that iBook battery problem from 10.2.4? I want to update to .5, but not if they are still having that problem.
 
I'm not sure the 'verbose' startup is still there. I remember they've changed key-combos once... But try it out.

I can confirm that at 10.2.5, Command+V during boot still brings up verbose booting.

Wow, I have to admit, iPhoto's action widgets do look pretty horrible. I was just pulling some pictures off my camera, and my girlfriend (who never notices these things), came up behind me and said "what's wrong with the traffic light buttons?"

If she noticed at first glance, it's pretty bad...:rolleyes:

If you have 2 hard drives and something like Carbon Copy Cloner you can make a bootable copy of the system you have now... They you can install the update on one of the two.

So has anyone seen any conflicts yet?

Does this do anything weird to Apache/PHP/MySQL?
