I downloaded MacOSX 10.2.8 and now my monitor will randomly stop receiving information as if the computer had shut down. I've checked the cords and stuff like that, and when I force restart the monitor works again for a while.
Hey Gregg I read something about .plists which are the preference files for applications. Perhaps the update messed up your .plist.
I have not had networking problems. However my battery time on my 12" PowerBook now has 1 hour 18 minutes time at 100% charge. That is freakin retarded Apple. I will reset NVRAM later to see if it fixes it.
same here! 1:30 minutes about on full battery on my 1Ghz Tibook. I used to get 2:30 about. With around 3:00s if I used some power management. There has to be some way to fix this? I'm not going to reinstall everything. I have so much stuff it would take all day and i don't have all day for a long time yet.
Just unplugged the power cable from the back of my TiBook 800. Time remaining is 1:32. It used to read just over two hours before, though I've never run it all the way out to test it. I'm going to stay unplugged and see what happens today.
Upgraded my TiBook 800 to 10.2.8 yesterday with no probs noted at all. I use an airport for wireless access though and I don't use the IP addresses that are on Apple's Tech Note describing the 10.2.8 problem. I'm going to wait a few more days before upgrading my son's Pismo. If it ain't broke...
Anyone notice that the Keyboard and Mouse System Prefs are combined now? Kind of reminds me when Monitors and Sound got combined way back in OS 8 days.
I'm not sure what NVRAM is I havn't rebooted while holding the P and R keys yet, (along with apple + option) but I have pulled out the keyboard and pushed that little button.
Also check this guys please. In DVD Player movies skip every now and then maybe once a minute, the audio sounds weird for a second and the frame pauses. Geez 10.2.6 just BARELY fixed DVD Player from skipping on PowerBook 12"s. Not happy about 10.2.8 now. Should've waited! I hope when they release the fixed update we can update from the bad 10.2.8!
Just got the "power is almost out, better plug in" warning message.
A little under two hours actual use, certainly more than the 1:32 that the system told me when I unplugged. Maybe Apple is just being more conservative.
Today is my iMac's last day of work as my powerbook will arrive tomorrow. Should i buy a cheap gold watch as a retirement gift?
May you please tell me whether you use Ethernet and an internet connection on this computer? I need to know before I update some business computers which are 333 MHz iMacs.
(I've already downloaded it before it was pulled, so if I'm sure that the update is OK, then I think I'll go ahead and install it.)
I just discovered that my network setting are about 75% hosed and cannot be changed. DHCP is gone as an option. I'm stuck on one location and cannot change. It seemed like everything was fine until I changed locations at work and now it's all wrong and locked.
had the same problem with my battery .. reset the NVRAM but it didnt seem to make a difference but I'm unplugged and will run until it shuts down and see if that helps
Comments
Not that I'm complaining mind you.
Sorry about the ones it didn't work for.

Look at all the updates that are problematic:
ProDOS 16: IIgs update, unoptimized (PowerMacs and 7.1.2 anybody?)
3.1: Yay, 30-50 new bugs!
6.0.0 and 6.0.1: 6.0.1 wasn't even released!
7.1.2: Buggy, get 'em out the door upgrade for PMs.
7.1.Pro: Dead PowerTalk, other stuff (some dead.)
7.5.2: What is Apple's 2 thing? Two different versions, same name, required enablers, offered no advant. to other owners, Open T problems.
7.5.4: Killed, but produced a good upgrade (7.5.5.)
7.6: Buggy, problematic, Bluets and Granola Bars "make a chewy snack."
8.5: Serious problem. Took till 8.5.1 to fix.
10.0: Slow.
10.2: Nother 2 thing. Buggy.
Its just not worth it too reinstall everything either

Not likely. 10.2 and 10.3 are on very different development branches.
