Software Update told me about 10.5.4
It said it was this combined thing
I am downloading right now

And I got my ipod touch

I wonder when Apple is going to start making blu ray disc drives

The experience is awesome!

------------------------------------
Oh My God
What just happened!
I was updating when a dark screen came wiping down and then a dialog box came up telling me to restart by holding down power button
After I restarted there was another dialog box telling me that Mac OSX quit unexpectedly. Was there a problem when I was updating? Are my files lost? DO I HAVE A VIRUS!!!(unlikely, I think)Please help guys

Actually even if you manage to get the Bluray content files, you cannot play it on OS X cause there is no software support at the moment. Sucks, I know. I mean, even though Jobs said 2005 is going to be "The year of HD", here we are still....quoting daffy duck...dribbing along.

 

[cooldudie3]

Can you help with that problem?
I want to know a little more

 

[goobimama]

What exactly do you want to do? Do you seriously want to buy a Blu ray player and play it on your mac's display? HD movies are meant to be played on a large screen, not a MacBook Pro.

 

[cooldudie3]

No I meant that restart thing

 

[goobimama]

@Azeem or someone who wanted this: Imagewell, a free application, can crop your image to the given dimention. However, I don't think you can actually drag out a selection. Actually why don't you use Photoshop and be done with it? You could also use Pixelmator I guess.

Hey Macboys.. wasn't 10.5.3 relesed a few weeks back.. what's up with this new 10.5.4 update... And why don't you guys (Arya & Milind) throw some lights on iWork and Keynotes (gotta love that application).. Keynote is gr8 yaar.. can you tell me any tutorial site related to Keynote..

 

[goobimama]

I take it they released 10.5.4 (not such a big update, just 60MB) to get ready for the iPhone 2.0 software and MobileMe.

 

[preshit.net]

So this new mouse that I purchased, well, it's awesome.

@Azeem:
Doing it in Photoshop or Pixelmator would be fairly simple.
1. Open the image in either of the two.
2. Create a new canvas with the dimensions you need
3. Cut/copy the layer from the original file into this new canvas.
4. Move it around to fit in the exact area you want.
5. Hit 'Save As'

 

[cooldudie3]

Should i try to download 10.5.4 again? Last time I did the system failed!

 

[goobimama]

What you mean the system failed? As in the update failed to install? Try downloading it directly from the apple site then.

 

[preshit.net]

Did you reach the part where it tells you to restart your Mac ? Did the system fail after that or it failed to download the update altogether ?

 

[goobimama]

Okay didn't see this:

That was a kernel panic. Sometimes associated with hardware, but I don't think its the case with you. For now I would suggest you don't update to 10.5.4. Just wait it out and see if there's a fix in the horizon.

@arya, goobi, preshit

Thanks for your suggestions, I can now have my wallpaper the way I want it
-------

10.5.3 took more than 1gb on my already shrinking hard drive and now we have 10.5.4, is it worth ??. I didn't see any changes after upgrading to 5.3!!


@goobi

When do we get mobileme ?

And for those who have no idea what MobileMe, push email, push contacts are, go to apple.com and download the MobileMe guided tour in HD and enjoy

 

[goobimama]

I don't think the 10.5.4 update will take up much space. In any case you will have to update sooner or later, cause MobileMe is gonna require it for sure.

@azeem: The plan is already underway. Lets hope I can make the arrangement to buy it from amazon.com > Ship it to someone in the USA > get the code so we can create the accounts.

Update: Carolyn has replied. She has agreed to me shipping the .Mac box to her place. So I'm already on Amazon.com trying to place the order. Let's hope there isn't any jhanjat with my credit card.

Another update: Done! Gonna be shipped within 5-9 days via Free Super Saver shipping. Cross thy fingers....

 

[cooldudie3]

so I should not download the update? Alright
what are the fixes in the update?

@aayush, I changed my avatar to make you happy!

 

[preshit.net]

So does that mean it is time to rejoice ?

 

[dinesh72]

How do I get my e mails including various folders in hotmail sync/copy to my mac account?

 

[aryayush]

You don’t. That’s what you get for using an email service as crappy as Hotmail. It supports neither IMAP nor POP3. Switch to Gmail, as you should’ve a couple of years ago.

According to analysts (Indian) the iPhone would be costing above 21k. Their reasoning is that in India the iPhones aren't subsidized and the call charges are very low as compared to the US. The US Cell cos. make their money through their call charges which are way higher than India.

Well, that analysis assumes that Apple has any clue about the Indian mindset and how to sell products in India—and they don’t.

Hey Macboys.. wasn't 10.5.3 relesed a few weeks back.. what's up with this new 10.5.4 update...

Apple has always been quick with the updates. Not the resting on their laurels type, you see.

And why don't you guys (Arya & Milind) throw some lights on iWork and Keynotes (gotta love that application).. Keynote is gr8 yaar.. can you tell me any tutorial site related to Keynote..

Apple has their own fairly decent set of tutorials reading available on their website.

10.5.3 took more than 1gb on my already shrinking hard drive and now we have 10.5.4, is it worth ??. I didn't see any changes after upgrading to 5.3!!

Yeah, minor point updates don’t bring any drastic new changes, but they’re good for your system. So don’t question anything, just install them.

This update weighs in at less than a hundred megabytes anyway.

And for those who have no idea what MobileMe, push email, push contacts are, go to apple.com and download the MobileMe guided tour in HD and enjoy

That’s not high definition.

I changed my avatar to make you happy!

LOL! That wasn’t necessary. I was just kidding.

so I should not download the update?

Yeah, if it was what caused the kernel panic, it might be a good idea to sit this one out. It’s not too major an update anyway.

 

[narangz]

Why? What do you need a .mac account for?

Just signed up for the trial to check what's so special in it.

Oh! I'm sorry . 32 bit has more softwares & much better driver support.

Well I never had a problem with any application on XP x64 or Vista x64. I am using the x64 versions. Almost all of the manufacturers have drivers for the x64 versions. Not sure about Mac.
