Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update

OmniVector writes "Right after the Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger announcement just a few days ago, Apple has released an update to version 10.3.9 for Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server (both available via Software Update). The changes mostly include bugfixes with Stickies, Safari, and the Finder." The Server update also addresses issues with Open Directory, cyrus, AFP, and SMB, among others. Apple also updated iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, and iSight this week.

    Same here... Jedit no longer runs, resulting in a segmentation fault.

    Anyone have any solutions for this problem?

    Yeah, that occasionally happens to me and other Mac users I know too. I would try a reboot first. If that doesn't work, report back and I'll try to think of other ideas. I can tell you that force-deleting Network from Computer (you have to type your admin password) to try and get it to re-generate doesn't work, at least if you don't reboot; however, if just rebooting doesn't work, I might try force-deleting it and then rebooting again. *shrug*

    But it seems like a very simple application.

    Which just goes to show how hard programming can be, and how immature (in the young and developing meaning of the word) the computer "science" and software "engineering" fields are.

    I just finished reinstalling Windows because it had eaten its little brain.

    Install Windows. Reboot.
    Install VIA 4-in-1 drivers. Reboot.
    Install Audio drivers. Reboot.
    Install Ethernet and USB drivers. Reboot.
    Install video card drivers. Reboot.
    1 service pack. Reboot.
    42 "security and critical updates". Reboot.
    4 post service-pack updates. Reboot.
    DirectX. Reboot. .NET. Reboot.
    Windows Media Player. Reboot.
    7 reboots to bring Norton Antivirus up to date.
    2 driver updates for the motherboard. 2 more reboots.

    If I'd updated IE instead of using Firefox that would be 2 more reboots because you can't update IE at the same time as other applications.

    Gee, where are the flames about "having to update all the time because of bugs"?

    Well, I could update to Windows XP with its boobytrapped OS, but I'd rather not have a system decide I'm a pirate because I have to replace the motherboard. And I'd still have to do most of the same updates, so I don't think it's fair to flame about Windows 2000 that much. That's what you were talking about, right?

    I had the same problem with Jedit, and I applied the solution further in the thread, which worked! Re:Java broken now? (Score:5, Informative) by rworne (538610) Alter Relationship on Saturday April 16, @02:51AM (#12253120) (http://slashdot.org/)
