TopazBar Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 quixos, This 10.4.8 release from Apple has been a {censored} to us all. I get the feeling that we'll be taking less and less from each release from Apple from this point on. Of course, I did try to update on my own, but it was getting "too dark to see, feels like knock'ng on heaven door" - lyrics from Bob Dylan song. Anyway, it is good to see that you haven't given up. Keep your chin up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goodtime Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Does anyone know if iTunes 7 and Quicktime 7.1.3 work natively on SSE2 machines with this update? Any video acceleration news with SSE2 machines? Just curious, I might dive in and see what I can get working. gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK.Xscape Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I don't imagine this update would fix the itunes problem because the problem was within the processor because apple made the application for sse3 processors. so the problem is within your processor and not the OS.

Any video acceleration news with SSE2 machines? Just curious, I might dive in a see what I can get working. gt Don't think it's a purely SSE3 issue. I only have an SSE2 and both itunes 7.0.1 and Quicktime 7.1.3 have not problems whatsoever. I think it's to do with the graphics, and having QE/CI working. I have the sapphire x11600xt working using the borisbadenov method. Still have not tried .8 as don't want to have to reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek_No Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Just installed JAS SSE2 10.4.8 (using a Centrino 1.4 laptop)... I'm still using the previous version of QuickTime 7.1.2 and iTunes 6.05: both are still working after the update. About Safari: after the update I also have issues with Safari: message displayed "Safari could not open the page “http://www.google.com/” because the server stopped responding." Funny workaround for this: use the "Reset Safari" option and everything starts working again until you quit Safari and launch it again: apparently when quitting Safari something is being written to disk that is preventing the proper functioning when opening it again... Take care, Tek_No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quixos Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 looks like i'll have a list of working Frameworks tonight. Safari is working, Mail, and all of JaS networking fixes. one or two Utilities might have to be from 10.4.7. i'm busy in the RL, so i'll finish up tonight if i don't pass out. things are looking up!

Bruce Wang Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Quixos, thanks for your hard work! Since my OS X is installed on the laptop used at work, I wil wait for your good news before upgrading to 10.4.8. Thanks to all for making the upgrade possible for SSE2.

MorningWood Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Not to get off topic or anything, but I'm guessing the JaS update would only work on intels? No AMD SSE2 support yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsun Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 TSUN, Do you have QE/CI? What video card do you have on your SSE2 Machine? gt GT i have a GMA900 .. and it still has QE/CI support but thats due to the jas update that skipped over the opengl i believe. i even bettered my xbench with the new release. 75 to 85 now ... you having probs GT ? Not to get off topic or anything, but I'm guessing the JaS update would only work on intels? No AMD SSE2 support yet? as of now i do not believe AMD support is out. there was a TubGirl AMD release but i dont know if anyone was able to verify the contents/validity ...

quixos Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 BaselineAce, no it's not working natively without SSE3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- i'm doing a final install of the 10.4.8 update, without the frameworks i've identified as problems for us with SSE2. will post the list here in about 30 minutes. seems to work perfectly.

quixos Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 DON'T BE AN IDIOT! BACKUP YOUR 10.4.7 FRAMEWORKS! here are the Frameworks to exclude from an SSE2 10.4.8 update. /System/Library/Frameworks/ AppKit.framework ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework DirectoryServices.framework DiskRecording.framework DiskRecordingUI.framework DiskArbitration.framework DVDPlayback.framework Foundation.framework IOKit.framework Message.framework QuartzCore.framework ------------------------------------- exclude also Activity Monitor /Applications/Utilities/Application Monitor.app -------------------------------------- Application Monitor doesn't show the graphical Disk or Network Activity, but it does show graphical CPU Usage. any ideas? everything else "I" use, works as it should, so far. let me know how it goes, if all goes well, i'll put this in the first post. Discuss 10.4.8 Update excluded Frameworks list ------------------------------------- TAKE RESPONSIBILITY use all your applications, and REPORT in some detail unexpected or broken behavior! look at the console, google, get back to us! Discuss 10.4.8 Update excluded Frameworks list if effort is made we probably can track down unexpected behaviors and loose ends. give this a couple days before you start asking for a package. ----------------------------------- Edited, added Message.framework (to fix slow mailsync). now i'm done for the day. looking forward to reading about broken things tonight.

Jeezoflip Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 You know... Im just gonna chill with 10.4.7 for now. I use to want to jump on updates as soon as they came out, but this one seems to not like SSE2 users at all. So if you are a SSE2 processor user, ide wait it out untill they have a real stable version. Think about it, theres no changes that the average user in this community would be able to notice from 4.7 to 4.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPhreek Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 What I want to know is can it be installed over 10.4.5 on my Hackintosh? My specs are in my sig, and any word on whether or not this update will fix the sound? I have the built in SoundMAX WDM version. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsun Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 it looks like you might be able to. i assume that your proc is SSE2 compatable? have you tried the 10.4.7 update ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
