Is everyone happy with OS X 10.4.10?
There are two reports on here of "un-mac-like" behavour of these faithful computers - even if one of them is off me!!!
Since using OS X 10.4.10 I have noticed that the menu bar, and the password dialogs are vulnerable to crashing and totally freezing the entire OS X and can lead to me having to forcefully "Hard Reboot" the machine.
Usually when you enter an incorrect password, the dialog shudders, and then immediatly allows you to try again. in this case, it freezes and does not always come unstuck so i have to shut off power and then reboot. sometimes when it does not totally freeze i could wait up to 10 minutes!!
With two wireless networks in our house, i am asked if i want to join the BT network. 99% of the time, i would like to go for the Pipex because it is bigger bandwidth. In 10.4.7 when i clicked No to BT broadband, then clicked the icon in my menu bar to access Pipex straight afterwards, there was no problem. now, in 10.4.10 the system packs up and needs a hard reboot to get going again.
This is why i re-installed OS X and OS X 10.4.7 - which is what came with the machine - had no trouble.
I might be the forum nutcase; this might just be the mac. But it conveniently happens when i use OS X 10.4.10 so before i blame Apple, please could i ask you all if you have had any trouble with new OS X 10.4.10 and just as a case study, this question:
If there are errors in 10.4.10, who is to say that 10.5 Leopard is going to be a good investment for our Macintosh?
Thanking you in advance,
