Refined audio performance

Yes, they refined the audio performance in my PowerBook 250 (WallStreet) so that when I use headphones my ears bleed becuase the audio out is set to maximum by default without any ability to turn it down. Oh, and now everyone else can listen to what I hear since the speakers aren't disabled when I plug in the headphones. Don't get me wrong I love OSX but I could do without some of these enchancements.

PS: Where's the Wavlan support?!?!?!?

Display refinement

I'm interested in the "refined display compatibility". I'm having problems with all the Macs in my company running a combination of MacOS X , ATI cards and ADI Microscan 19 inch displays (company standard). 3 displays were already returned for repair : the displays suddenly go dark, while the user is working on them. This happens 10-15 times a day. Sometimes the display needs to be switched off/on to get an image back, sometimes it comes back by itself. Recently on one system, the image gets suddenly fuzzy, and a power cycle of the display is needed. The company PC's run trouble-free with those displays.
Please reply to peter@axstech.com if you have any info.

Maxtor Firewire disk

I had a nice little issue happen after I updated from 10.0.1 to 10.0.2. My Maxtor Firewire hard drive no longer is recognized.

After booting to MacOS 9.1, I see and can use the drive just fine. I ran a check on the disk, and there are no errors. The disk is formatted HFS+, just like my others that are still seen in MacOS X.

Anyone else having this issue?

Classic Environment Refin

Looks like they refined the classic environment to no longer hold the network connection of osx. I have to reboot, go to 9.1, switch the network binding, reboot back to OSX, and then I have network in OSX for about 5 minutes, before it suddenly refuses to respond any longer and I need to reboot again. It doesn't affect OSX, just classic. Nice refinement.

Classic Env Refine

I had a problem with Classic not maintaining the network connection. I had to do a clean install of 9.1 to make that problem go away.

Classic slooooow to load

My Classic has been loading progressively slower and slower, I think since I've updated to 10.0.2. Granted I am loading it with extensions on - that's the way it loads when I launch a Classic app, and I prefer it that way b/c most apps don't work right w/o extensions. However, starting Classic w/ extensions on used to be a whole lot speedier.

iTunes Skips Now

In an unrelated story, I lost my CD burner somewhere, so I have one less thing to complain about. But what is starting to bug me is how iTunes skips now. I read in some review of OS X that if one moved a window around fast enough, on a G3 iTunes (older version) would skip, but on a G4 it was fine. To my pleasant surprise, I moved a window as fast as I could, and there was no skipping of music. However, the iTunes update and "enhancements" has managed to obliterate this feature. It doesn't take much window jolting fun to get my iTunes to skip.

Thoughts?

iSub

Well, despite the improved Audio, my iSub refuses to work still. I despise listening to MP3s w/o it. If there is one new thing that they add to 10.0.3, it should be that (IMHO).

Maxtor...

I have a 40GB Maxtor and it's working fine under 10.0.2
On a side note... The Xitel USB-TOSLink (digital audio from USB to my MiniDisc recorder) kernel panics when hot-plugged into X. It works fine if you boot with it plugged in though.

Well

I just tried it and I had to drag the window like mad through the dock for about 5 seconds, but I did make iTunes skip. But only one skip and only briefly.

Re: Oni

Same problem. Oni runs for about 20 seconds before the screen goes black and I lose all visual. Sounds are still there, though. G4/400 PCI, 512 MB RAM, X 10.0.2

fixed my sound problem

I have a dual 533. The whole sound subsystem used to crash constantly (at least twice an hour) crashing itunes and forcing a reboot! 10.0.1 did nothing for this but now with 10.0.2 I don't have this problem! yeah! Finally X is usable!

Enhanced? Enriched? What?

Apple needs to stop using cookbook adjectives in its TILs... doesn't tell me anything about what's really new in its system updates. I want to know exactly what's fixed and what changes have been made to my software!! Up until now I don't know what's different about 10.0.2 except that it's slightly faster! Oh, and that's because they "refined" a few things... huh??? Please elaborate!!

Refined audio performance

The "Refined audio performance..." in 10.0.2 on my Rev C Beige G3 is quite something else. When I boot out of X and into 9 and back into X it seems that the audio no longer goes through the audio out, and to my speakers. Instead it goes to the built-in speaker. The only way I have found to solve this problem is to unplug the speaker connector, and plug it back in.

Can this be truly be called "Refined audio performance...?"

problems

Hey everybody

the only way any of your problems with osX will be resolved is if you tell apple (they can't read your minds!!)

iTunes and ID3 Tags

It doesn't seem that iTunes for OS X supports ID3 tags in MP3 files at all. I've tried changing the version of the ID3 tags in my MP3 files with MP3 Rage. iTunes would not recognize any version I tried. The "Convert ID3 Tag" menu command just causes the system error boing every time you hit it. From what I can tell, information that you enter into iTunes for MP3 files in your library is stored in an iTunes data file, not in tags in the MP3 file itself. Is it just my bad memory, or did iTunes for OS 9 actually store info in the MP3 file? Why would Apple move away from widely used standards like ID3 tags in favor of storing stuff in a prefs file?

Disk Copy doesn't mount

Since updating, I get a persistent error in Disk Copy when I try to mount a disk image. This is the message: "you inserted a disk containing volumes that Mac OSX can't read. to use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize. To use only the rest of the disk, click Continue." Anyone run into this?

Re:Still need 2 more thin

YES! I need USB Printer share and SBS support before I can completely migrate too! Since you work at apple, whats the scoop on these functions in osX, as far as their availability and if they are in fact working on it?

So far, so good

I downloaded all the OS X updates in 9.1 and stored them on my 9.1 partition and then proceeded to erase my X partion. I then booted from the 9.1 install CD and installed it, then installed X, then installed developer tools, then installed all the updates in the order they were released. So far things seem to have improved, especially with speech recognition, Apple Prop Speakers and my iMic. I haven't had any kernel panics or strange problems when hot-plugging my iMic yet and speech recognition started up properly and recognized the iMic even after the hot-plug. Performance of the finder seems to be a bit snappier, but it just be me. If you are still having all these problems with mail, sound, etc., like I am reading on Apple's and other MacOSx.com discussion boards, you might just want to try this whole thing over again and see how it works for you. I even seem to be having better luck with PPP connections and was connected for over an hour on my ISDN T/A connected via a Keyspan serial adapter.

Talk to APPLE!!!

Many of you seem to have minor problems with 10.0.2. Make sure that you contact Apple if it is an OSX issue and if it involves a third party device, make sure they know too. COmplaining will do nothing if Apple doesn't know about it...

iSub and skipping MP3s

I've been experimenting with dragging windows around, and it doesn't seem to affect Audion 2 (it did in the past) I don't particularly care for iTunes anyway, as it doesn't have an EQ. Anyone else prefer Audion to iTunes?

Oh, how I miss my iSub, though!!! I just keep my headphones plugged in full-time nowadays. Please, Apple, please make the iSub a priority in the next build!
