Check your software update panel -- 10.1.1 is now available (along with the new Airport software). According to Apple, the update includes improved support for USB and FireWire devices, improvements to CD and DVD burning, enhanced AFP, SMB and WebDav networking (maybe the iDisk will be usable on WebDAV now!), and improved printing support. Mail and the Finder have also been updated.

Video mirroring
You forgot that on Titanium video mirroring is now enabled with this new upgrade. That means that the earlier mentioned fix to display DVD on tv only has become obsolete.
Canon Ixus / Elph supported
Now it seems to me that 10.1.1 correctly supports my Canon Ixus v.
Dual monitor icons bug in Finder
I hope this isn't a feature..
Dual monitor icons bug in Finder
It is a feature :(
Not just Dual Monitors
I have only a single montior and now my icons are snapped so far to the left I can't see them under application windows. I have my dock on the right pinned to the bottom (thanks to Tinker Tool), so it never makes it up that far. What a horrible 'feature that is" I like Macs for the reason that I can control where the icons go!! Apple disable this stupidity, ot let us turn it off!
Fixed it on a single monitor
Changed my resolution from 1153x870 to 1280x1024, then back, and then I was able to move them.
My icons are pretty dang big right now. So happy somebody already made decent Simpsons icons for X, needed another Mr. Burns for my main partition.
Warning
Please install the system upgrade first, restart, and install the airport update. On both my macs I noticed installation of both upgrades at the same times causes the installer to halt during optimization.
Warning
There is bug causing a thread block in the Airport installer app. When you see a progress bar, click on the menu bar and highlight and item. The progress bar will continue normally.
WebDAV is much better...
No doubt about it; I just dragged a couple 1mb files to my iDisk, and they went quite quickly.
mounting SMB volumes is much faster
Samba suport seems much faster on my G3. It mounts volumes at least twice as fast, and times out almost instantly to invalid requests, where before I might wait up to a minute or so.
Install glitches? Finder hangs?
In current discussion on MacSlash, there has been at least one report of people having major problems with this upgrade, citing problems both with kernel panics (!) and big glitches with the Finder -- trying to launch multiple instances of itself, or not responding to the user, etc. Anyone know exactly what's going on here? I don't want to run the update until this is clarified -- OSX is my main system now and I don't want to trash it.
Airport installs correctly?
?at after installing airport upgrade and then running Software Update again, it still asks to install this upgrade? I noticed this on both my macs. There is an "Installation" folder in /System with a small Airport.pkg, which does not open at all.
Airport installs correctly?
Nah, still the same thing. If I do upgrade airport again, the installation reports in /var/log/ are identical, showing no discrepancies or unexpected errors. Weird.
ClassiHack
ClassiHac doesn't seem to work with 10.1.1. here is what happened: installed the update, and then forced the updater to quit (i like my uptime :)) and it wasn't a big deal. i had classic running buffered at the time i ran the update and after i force-quit the updater. i started to play a song in iTunes and turned on the visualizer. at that point the screen turned blue with the rainbow curser in the corner then in a minute i got the login screen (it logged me out...) i logged back in, started classihack (along with iTunes, DragThing, SystemPrefs, DesktopConsole, Terminal, BBEdit, LoadinDock, Memory Monitor, and Super Get Info) as soon as classic finished starting up, my screen turned blue and i got the login screen. at that point i restarted (in verbose :)) and logged in again. opened all of the above, and when classic finished booting, login screen (ARG!) this time i logged in and didn't let ClassiHack open Classic, i started it the old fashioned and ugly way. classic finished booting and everything is running smoothly (though with unbuffered classic windows, it is _ugly_
ClassiHack
uhhhh... maybe they do that restart thing after an install for a reason!
10.11
i have applied the update on my G4 with no problems, but i have two observations
What is Classichack
what is classichack, I have never heard of it, and have search the net a bit but can't see to find any info about it.
It's Classihack
Search here on "classihack" - no 'c' in the middle. Andrew Welch of Ambrosia found a way to enable compressed windows in Classic. Gets rid of the shadows and odd visual artifacts ... but 10.1.1 breaks it.
It's Classihack
...and i really hope 10.2 sees Apple doing whatever it takes to turn classihack into a default behavior that doesn't break random classic things... and I hope with nearly the same fervance that Andrew comes out with a classihack mark II in the meantime.
Remote WebDAV performance still lousy
The Finder still hangs when accessing WebDAV volumes, and performing other (seemingly simple) operations. Waiting for the remote side is fine, but it should at most stop actions from proceeding in the frontmost window, not prevent anything from happening in the Finder. If it were properly written, it shouldn't do this. Here's a quick test to try:
CoreServices?
I could have sworn that before I ran this update, I used to be able to get to the /Library/CoreServices folder in the Finder. After updating it's disappeared, but I can access it from the terminal. What a pain!
CoreServices? Oops...
Hey, that explains it! Readme file I was using had the wrong path name.
SMB finally works
I'm one of the people for whom OSX.1's SMB wouldn't connect to a dirt-simple Linux share, no matter what I tried.
X.1.1 connects easily and perfectly. Right on!
SMB finally works
I can confirm this: mounting SMB shares on a Linux machine only worked under mysterious non-repeatable ciscumstances for me. After installing 10.1.1, I was able to this with no problems. Wonderful.
Eject command in Finder contextual menus...
I just noticed that when I'm browsing my hard drives using the Finder, if I right-click (control-click) there's now an Eject option under the Show Info option. It's kinda annoying that this shows up all over the place now...
that is also in 10.1
i havent updated and i have the same thing...
QuickTime 5.0.5 and more...
Check System Preferences -> QuickTime -> About QuickTime.... Now the version is 5.0.5. QuickTime Player is still 5.0.2, though.
Finally!
I couldn't get SMB to work on my B&W at all before, now it works perfectly!
manual classihack
i applied the classic window buffer manually thru a text editor once and have restarted numerous times and it never seems to go away. even under 10.1.1 its effect are still in place. not sure why.
manual classihack
how do ypu do that?
manual classihack
go to the original thread about classic window buffering (search for it) and it is explained what file to modify.
Darwin ?
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but Darwin is now in version 5.1 :
New numbering scheme
They revised the numbering scheme...not sure why!
Reinstalling Mail.app?
So I installed 10.1.1 yesterday. The only problem was that my Applications directory was in fact a symbolic link to another volumes and that Apple's installer doesn't work with symbolic links. As a consequence, Mail wasn't properly updated, the installer erasing the symbolic link and re-creating a new Applications directory with a new Mail directory containing updated elements but NOT a complete application. Anyway, after me messing up trying to manually copy the updated elements inside the *real* Mail.app, I am left with a non-working copy of Mail and I was wondering how I could reinstall a new copy of Mail without having to reinstall OS X completely?
Reinstalling Mail.app?
I had a similar problem too, however replacing updated components of the app did seem to work.
Reinstalling Mail.app?
I had a similar situation, where my copy of Mail was in a subdirectory of the Applications folder, and as a result the updated coponents were installed in a new folder called Mail within the Applications directory. I did manage to copy all the components into the old Mail.app package, and that seems to have successfully updated it (in the sense that the program still works, at least). One question though -- the version number for the "updated" version of Mail is v1.1 (475), and I'm curious if that's what the genuinely updated copy of Mail's version number should be.
Reinstalling Mail.app?
I've had good success with several mounted partitions:
Reinstalling Mail.app?
I mount my Applications partition into /Applications, which works well. The Installer recognizes the Applications partition. However, Apple made one major mistake in their installation procedure. They assume all their utilities and applications will be in the original locations. However, most people, incl. me, reorganize the Applications folder. So, yesterday, I moved the airport setup assistant to another folder and bam, software update assumed I did not upgrade to the latest airport! Duh.
Reinstalling Mail.app?
However, Apple made one major mistake in their installation procedure. They assume all their utilities and applications will be in the original locations. However, most people, incl. me, reorganize the Applications folder.Me too -- but it installed the new Mail.app as a folder -- it is not "blessed" or whatever magic is supposed to happen so it looks and acts like an app, not a folder. My old Mail.app (in the subfolder i moved it to) wasn't touched. Help! How do I get the new Mail.app to be a normal pkg/app?
Force Quit
Perhaps something I missed or perhaps it's a new feature, but were you able to force quit apps, as they were launching before by right clicking on the dock icon?
Force Quit
Yes, I was.
Classic won't start
Since I installed the 10.1.1 update, Classic won't start. Specifically, it will load all the extensions (just when I thought I'd never have to deal with them again!), then go to a blank screen as it usually does briefly before loading the desktop. But it just stops at the blank screen. The disk is accessed a few more times (my OS 9.2 disk sounds different from my OS X disk) and the progress bar moves to nearly the end, but never quite makes it.
Classic won't start
I have since found a solution, but not an explanation, on macfixit: in OS 10.1, Classic won't start if there's a QPS Que! CD-RW connected and on. I don't know how specific the problem is to that particular brand of drive. Nonetheless, when I turned the CD-RW off, Classic started fine.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not
I'm trying to use 10.1.2 to mount SMB shares from 3 different W2K servers, using Active Directory for authentication. Using smb://servername/share in the Finder doesn't work, even after I created a proper .nsmbrc file. Finder reports "error 1", claiming that there are no shared resources on my servers. |
