Grand Central Dispatch released as Open Source

[Mac User #330250]

Good news!

http://www.osnews.com/story/22152/Apple_Releases_Grand_Central_Dispatch_as_Open_Source

Apple released Grand Central Dispatch under the Apache 2.0 License.
Maybe this is good for Mac OS X/PPC and all other operating systems using free 
libraries too.

Cheers,
Andreas

This should teach us to never jump on Apple updates while the bits

That first day, we tried to update four systems.  One was offered 
just QT the others were offered both QT and iTunes.  NONE of the 
updates were successful.

Same as you, on two of the Macs (one Tiger one Leopard).  The 3rd Mac 
failed to reboot.

I punted - went right for Single User Mode and AppleJack (all tasks). 
Reboot and functionality was fine after that.

The 4th... Was a mess.  The install ran fully and the machine 
rebooted but then kernel panic'd right after login.  It even panic'd 
when logging in with the shift key down (so no startup items ran). 
Single-user mode, AppleJack, reboot then some digging.  I quickly 
discovered that no videos would play -- immediate kernel panic.  More 
digging...  QuickTime was only partially installed.  @#$% Apple.  The 
install log showed errors extracting the new files -- ie a 
bad/corrupt/incomplete download --, but the installer went ahead and 
slapped what it could into the system anyway!  Reverted that to its 
backup.

Something very foo there.  Maybe you've got a bad directory?


Just did the update on my Smurf this morning.  Got the usual hang on 
the reboot, because the cache was improperly cleared.  AppleJack 
fixed.  The repair permissions showed a few extras, beyond the 
normal, but nothing too alarming.

FWIW,

Update...  I didn't read to carefully.  Apparently SU offered me the 
new QT and Security Update, not iTunes.  I just tried to do it with 
Software Update, but that' just times out.  Ended up going to 
apple.com/itunes/download and fetching then installing it manually.

I notice that Apple has dropped PowerPC G3 from the iTunes 
requirements list.  But iTunes 9.0 still runs on a G3!

I can see a future release of iTunes making that stick (ie, built for 
only g4/g5/x86), but I seriously doubt we'll see Apple go much 
further for quite a while  Remember:  iTunes is the primary 
gateway to the Apple Store.  Cutting off CURRENT customers 
prematurely is not a good business plan.

Can you create other folders in y/ that are seen?  IOW, make sure y isn't foo.

Perhaps z is set to be invisible?
Perhaps z is set to not be viewable by you?

The easy fix is to just create a new folder in y/, move z's stuff 
into it, then remove z.

Re: Question about how Time Machine works

[Tom]

This thread will probably end up archived somewhere, so I'll just tie
up the loose end and report how the installation and restoration of
the second disk went, for anyone who may be faced with doing this in
the future.

To continue the above, after the new replacement for the dead drive
ran reliably for a few days, and everything on it worked fine, it was
time to replace the other (still working) drive, just as preventative
medicine, since they were both five years old.

The replacement and restoration of the data on the second drive went,
like the first one, with only minor hitches. As with the first one, I
first replaced the old drive in the Mac with the new one, paying no
attention to any settings on the new drive itself such as master/slave
or "cable select" as I'd had to do with drives in the older Macs.
Apparently with these new SATA drives in G5 Macs or newer, you just
ignore all that stuff and slap 'em in there, just as they come out of
he box, and they work fine.

Then I fired up the Mac using the Leopard installer disk with the C
key held down, and after the disk took control (and it makes you
choose a language, like an ATM machine), I went up to the Utilities
menu and chose Disk Utility and initialized the drive with it, giving
it exactly the same name as the drive it replaced ("Internal 500").
When that was done, I picked "Restore from Backups" from the same
utilities menu, and it then asks you to choose a Time Machine backup
to restore from (my Time Machine is an external 1 TB drive plugged
into the front of the G5).

Once again, the backups for both drives were double-listed in the
Choose window for some reason, once with an OS number and once
without, like this: "Internal 500" and "Internal 500 10.4.11," and
"Internal 1000" and "Internal 1000 10.5.6." Here was the first little
error made by the utility, because both drives had 10.5.6 on them, and
neither one had 10.4.11. No matter, I chose "Internal 500," which was
the original name of the drive being replaced.

Then the installer asked me to choose a disk to restore the data to,
and here the second little glitch appeared, because the newly
initialed drive was not listed in the window. I decided to restart the
Mac to see if it would appear, but Restart was grayed out under the
Apple menu, so I backed up through the Utility's windows (hitting the
"Back" button on each window) until I came to the first one, but
"Restart" was still grayed out. So I went the other way, and repeated
the process of choosing a drive to restore from and to, and the second
time it asked me what drive I wanted to restore to, the new drive
appeared in the list. Glitch fixed, somehow.

I chose the new drive and hit Restore, and four hours later (during
which time a Time Machine window sat on the monitor with "Restoring"
at the top and a progress bar slowly filling up at the bottom) I had a
complete working copy of the original drive, which boots up and runs
exactly like it. And all is well. Pretty soon I'll have Time Machine
make a complete new backup of both drives, and then I'll be back where
was from before the old drive failed.

The two new hard drives run very quietly, and Hitachi thinks they'll
continue to run for at least five years, judging from their warranty,
so I'm sitting pretty at the moment.

Time Machine has proven to me that it is capable of restoring a big
hard drive after a complete failure, and I intend to keep it on the
job from now on, doing its hourly backups. It's a great safety feature
for a guy like me who is too lazy and absentminded to do frequent
backups otherwise.

The problem of the "spinning beach ball" doesn't occur with 10.4 itself, but
with the applications that run over it.

If you get a fast video card like a Radeon 9100 (flashed PC only), you  
can enable Quartz Extreme using PC Extreme 3.1 and get coverflow to  
work, but it's a little slow still. A Radeon 7000 would be the minimum  
for QE.

I don't think any PCI cards support Core Image on "old world" Macs?  
There was a project to bring the nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCI to "old  
world" Macs, but I think it died? The FX5200 PCI and at least one ATI  
PCI card support Core Image on "new world" Macs like the B&W, Yikes,  
etc. but again, very slowly.

Now, to my knowledge, I have NOT downloaded anything recently. I do

So, any idea just where to kill this 'GoogleSoftwareUpdate' thingy??

Well, I have a USB 2.0 NEC Chip PCI card here on my G3... And I never had
any problems about putting the computer to sleep and wake it up later.

FW 250 GB HDD w Oxford 911 firewire chip, doesn't mount?

[Mullin9]

I bought a 250 GB EX Hard drive, with Oxford 911 chipset.
but i can't get it to mount, what's wrong, is it firmware?
or is it 128 G HDD size limit.

Check the firmware. If it's lower than v.4.0, upgrade the firmware and  
it should work.

Most Oxford 911 support larger than 128 GB HDs, so if it was sold to  
you this way the odds are very high it should support large HDs. If  
you place the larger HD into the external enclosure yourself, it may  
have the 128 GB limit, but again, it would have to be a fairly old  
enclosure. Some of those enclosures with the 128 GB limit had a way to  
bypass the limit using certain models of Maxtor HDs, but I never fully  
understood the requirements to bypass the limit. It evidently had  
something to do with the firmware on the HD itself, hence the  
requirement for some "special models" of Maxtor drives.

Primarily the SPOD comes from the OS itself - telling the user that 
the app is waiting for OS level resources.

Re: iTunes 9 & PPC Macs

[Dana Collins]

Greetings, gang -
Another weigh -in on iTunes 9. For the first time in my experience,
iTunes has balked at connecting and syncing to my 3rd-generation iPod
via FireWire cable (syncs fine only in USB-still charges over FW). I
wonder if this is intentional and a tip of the hat towards USB-
universal connection.
ANy one else have this experience?
Thanks,
Dana

I'e been using twitter mainly to post interesting news and texts I find in
my everyday navigation, with some comments of mine (in my native language,
Portuguese) here and there, too.

In general I think it's interesting, but the thing that currently annoys me
are the massive flow of messages regarding Facebook games like FarmVille and
some stupid quiz results...
