Update:I’ve been using Mac OS X 10.4.3 for a few hours now, and here are the things I’ve noticed.
Firstly, spotlight is noticably faster and so is Expose. Secondly, a bug that was in iChat that prevented some users from connecting to each other’s video and audio chats has been fixed. Thirdly, the front row script that I had posted on the site earlier, no longer works.
IT KILLED FRONTROW!?!?!
WHAT IS A FIX FOR IT?!
Front Row works fine for me, but the script for it no longer works, I’m updating the story right now.
How do you update your mac to 10.4.3? Everytime I go to Software Update it says my software is up to date?
john, software update is the way to do it, this may sound obvious, but you’re running tiger right? Also, sometimes it takes a while for updates to show up in my software update sometimes too for some reason.
Yes, I’m running Tiger. It seems strange that it shows up for some and not others. I mean, you’d think it would be just like going to a website. If one person can see a news update on cnn.com, we should all be able to see the new software in software updates? :)
nope. it does not kill FR. after you launch the FR (by double clicking the Open FR.app or by using your shortcut key)….just press “esc” n whooalllaaaa!!! there’s your FR. works for me and hopefully works for you too. ;)
He’s right. Pressing esc after opeining FR will launch it… it is much slower now though…
Hi :D
