Should I wait on 10.4.6.?

I just upgraded from Panther to 10.4.5. All went very well except a few network issues.
Should I wait on the 10.4.6. update? I have the combo. I am hearing a lot of complaints and it worries me a little.

  • My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

    My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min.  Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.  Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

    Agree with Richard:
    -Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
    option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
    option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
    Details can be seen in this link:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
    "Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
    Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
    If someone find a working link please post it.

  • Final Cut Studio 2. Should I wait for 3? And which new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I'm in need of some advice. I have used Final Cut pro since it's early days having owned 1,3 and 4.5HD. I also used Motion 1 a fair bit. My video editing worked declined in the last 3 years so I didn't upgrade my software and computer as it wasn't necessary. BUT things are getting busy for me again and I have quite a few projects to complete in the next year and motion 1 and FCP 4.5HD just don't make the grade anymore (actually I love 4.5 but motion 1 was always buggy). the 17 isn't out of my budget but in terms of convenience I don't want to go that route again (I now have a 17inch PB from 2004). My questions...
    1. Should I wait for FCS 3? I heard it will be released this OCT. I don't want to have to pay 700bucks foor an upgrade to FCS3 only a few months after I get 2. Is 2 plenty good enough?
    2. Should I get the 15inch 2.66 with dedicated 9600/256mb or 2.8 with dedicated 9600/512 graphics card? I'm thinking the 2.8.
    apart from this point there isn't much difference between the 2 computers (along with L2 cache)

    1) There is no set release date for FCS 3 (sad but true) in fact there is no "official" information anywhere that confirms FCS3's existence ... whatever you've heard or read is pure speculation and basing purchasing decisions on such might be a tad risky. My advice would be that if you need FCS2's functionality right now then buy it now, especially if you are working commercially (ie you're going to get paid for this) ... but if you don't need it yet then common sense would be to bide your time.
    2) Despite your reservations, get the 17" MBP. There are no current 15" MBP's that are a good long term purchase suitable for professional editing work. How long do you expect to use this purchase? 1 or 2, maybe 3 years? or 5 years? Sooner or later you will want or need to connect a bigger, better, faster storage system to your laptop in order to keep up with your editing needs, especially as we hurtle towards affordable Digital Cinema solutions for consumers and pro's alike. NONE of the current 15" laptop lineup for Apple offers ANY suitable form of expansion facility. Sadly they have dropped their "Pro" appeal, at least with respect to Pro video editing needs.

  • How long should I wait to download OS5?

    After reading all the problems some of you are having I'm in no hurry to update my iPhone 4.  This has to be a bug in iTunes, the iPhone or OS5.  Or, it's a problem with the servers being overloaded by anxious iPhone owners.  Since I can live without OS5 for now, although I would like to have the new features, how long should I wait before updating the OS.  Days?  Weeks?  Months?
    When I do update, will I have to download all of my apps again?

    Out of warranty exchange unit is $199 in US for 4S at Apple Genius bar ($149 if a 4 )

  • Should I wait or should I go?

    Should I wait for the supposed MBP redesign this year or go ahead and buy a baseline 13" or 15" MacBook Pro? I dont have a true need for it right now, but I do desire one. General usage will be for Youtube work and running a Virtual Machine of Windows and Linux simultaneously.

    Here's another, about the Air:
    http://www.macstories.net/reviews/13-inch-macbook-air-review/
    excerpt
    The truth is, if you follow tech rumors you’re never going to buy anything. Sure, you might get a new gadget or computer every once in a while, but then you keep it for years and even after you realize you need something better because your work or computing life in general could actually deeply benefit from it, your judgement gets obfuscated by the rumors and by the next great thing that’s perennially coming. For many people, potentially referring to themselves as “geeks”, nothing is new anymore. It’s just a headline, an unboxing, and some benchmarks to compare to last year’s headline. Rinse and repeat.

  • So, Should I wait?

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but should I wait to buy an iPhone? I went to my local Apple Store to play around with an iPhone, but I still don't know if I should wait for something better or for the iPhone to go down in price. (Example: I purchased my MacBook in November 2006, and now they have even faster MacBooks for the same price that I paid for) What should I do?

    I do feel that the iPhone is incomplete in terms of features but that can be easily changed by software updates. Buy it now if you like.
    Apple don't discount their products months after its released. They release a newer version of that product for generally the same price.

    Hi David,
    I got a gigadesign 1.467 single processor upgrade for my tired 'ol G4 466 about a year ago. I paid around $450 at the time and now they have a 1.8 single for $299!
    I have zero bad things to say about the upgrade. Easy to install (although a little nerve wracking!) and it's been running hassle free ever since. It's given me the juice to take advantage of Space Designer as well as keeping up with my CPU sucking Native Instruments software.
    I did plenty of research as far as compatibility before comitting to the upgrade and have had zero issues.
    Obviously a new computer is the next step but that processor upgrade has kept me chugging along enough to stay in the game thus far.

    Which programs?  If they are very old (PowerPC) applications they will never work on Lion.

  • Just Got My MBP In The Mail!!! Should I Wait?

    I just got my FedEx delivery of my new MBP!!! Should I wait until it gets to room temp before I fire it up? It feels really cold since here in Michigan it was 10 degrees overnight and feels like it sat on the truck all night.

    Yes, it would be a good idea to let it warm to room temperature. Normal operating range is 15 to 50ºC.

  • Should I wait for the release of FF 4 to install on my new laptop?

    I have a 3.x version of FF on my "old" laptop, but I bought a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and want to install FF4 on it. Q: should I wait for the full release of FF 4 to install on the new machine, or would it be "better" to download FF 3.x first?

    Personally I would use the Firefox 4 release candidate.
    The current Firefox 4 release candidate will become the official Firefox 4 release providing no bugs are found that force a new version to be created. If there is a second release candidate, those using the first release candidate will automatically be updated to the latest version. It is still undergoing quality assurance testing but so far no showstopper bugs have been found.

  • If I bought an ipod touch 4th Gen in the USA but live in the UK should i wait to register it in the UK before using it?

    My nephew has bought a new ipod touch in the US while visiting me on vacation but is goiung back to the UK in a few days.  Can he register it here and then still use it there or should he wait until he goes back to the UK?

    Hi
    It should be okay to activate it in the US as I think you can choose your country when you set the iPod up and if it does go wrong, you can always wipe it and start again in UK.
