Leopard is next :D

[saxondale.]

Indeed :D

Nine updates and Apple still couldn't fix Duplicate for CD's.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's broken in Leopard, too. :rolleyes:

Never seen that before... how does it happen?

[suspiria]

Insert a CD (e.g. a music CD) > right click the CD icon on the desktop > Duplicate

It worked as it should on 10.3 Panther. But It has been broken in Tiger from the start.

I've had my first Mac for only a week, so I'm just wondering: if using haxies such as shapeshifter/silk/candybar, is it advisable to reapply default themes/icons/fonts before updating to 10.4.9?

[MMike6]

10.4.9 runs like a charm. too bad its the last tiger update... have to buy 10.5 then :laugh:

[NoneAvail]

lol, 10.5 next. downloading right now at the moment.

Its not advisable and no need to worry about it, the update will automatically set the aqua theme to default, than once its been updated it will ask you to apply the theme back.

Anyone know if all other updates prior to this are mandatory before downloading this one? I've been avoiding security update 2007-002 because 001 screwed everything wireless up on my macbook.

Thanks for the heads up.

It installed correct on my Mini, PowerMac and MacBook..

It killed my iBook G4 - it just wouldn't load past where the status bar right at the start starts scrolling.. the box for the bar was there, there was just no bar.

Verbose mode just said that it had panicked and stopped...

Formatting iBook now.

People have reported an increase in volume...any confirm this?

[giga Veteran]

lol, 10.5 next. downloading right now at the moment.

Wouldn't it be 10.4.10, 10.4.11, and so on?

[temple_treefrog]

I'm very happy.

A user from another forum has confirmed that audio is louder on their MacBook.
