Snow Leopard Problems?

[92 mtechnic cabrio]

lol im sorry but i don't agree with you at all. ya snow leopard was shipped with a older version of flash but isn't that what software update is for? did you know that the security hole is a remote execution exploit, which means that they can execute arbitrary code, BUT YOU CAN NOT EXECUTE ROOT CODE WITHOUT A ROOT PASSWORD! the only OS it will execute code on is windows LMAO. and how can u say windows is even halfway as secure as a osx, i can literally go on any porn site anywhere on the web with pop up blocker off and nothing will happen to my computer can u say that about pc's? and last but not least mac osx is based off of free bsd which is unix and guess what linux was based off of hmm let me think unix...

Actually, I could say that.

anyone else upgrade to snow leopard and have side effects now?

-when i empty trash it takes longer and a screen pops up showing the process.
-AirPort from time to time will just stop receiving signal

these are the 2 most reoccurring issues im having with it. anyone else? anyone know any tricks? is this fixable? ie through settings? if so hook a Mac noob up!

Lol these two problems are common Vista problems as well.

Congrats Mac owners, you've just upgraded to Windows Vista.

i don't understand the whole mac vs pc argument. everyone says it as a windows vs mac thing. linux anyone?

btw, snow leopard downgrades your version of flash to an older exploitable one, thusly opening up your "bug free" super amazing mac to whatever a hacker wants to do you. http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/1007?ref=rss

Macs are pretty and yah they do photoshop very well, but they are NOT more secure and it is sad that people make that an argument. Everything is pretty damn bad

quoted from Wikipedia.com
Mac OS X is based upon the Mach kernel.[8] Certain parts from FreeBSD's and NetBSD's implementation of Unix were incorporated in Nextstep, the core of Mac OS X.

So, which is it then?

Lol

I am still running my "old" 10.5.8 on my laptops and will wait until all "guinea pigs" have solve bugs...

and...

Macs are extremely stable and usually 100% bug free.

so, which is it then?

I go to http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ if i have any mac related questions. guys over there seem to be legit and quick to respond to weird issues.

The reason the trash was taking so long to empty was most likely because when erasing the files, it was zero'ing out those sectors on your HDD, instead of just marking them to be overwritten.

It's much more secure to zero out your files when erasing them, but if you have no reason too then don't worry about it. :)

I'm not knocking it, I like Macs, I'm just saying. :D

[YAN-3]

It's always some stupid little option that is either checked/unchecked that should/shouldn't have been checked/unchecked with Mac OS. ALWAYS.

i feel like such a noob... o wait i am one!

[JMil86]

Farthest I go into Macs is my iPod. What exactly is snow leopard?

[YAN-3]

make sure those 2 are unchecked. that might be it maybe....

your kidding right? I love you! ok so now im thinking that with the new version a bunch of settings might of went on to default.

thanks! back to normal now! :D

PCs are even worst when it comes to compatibility and reliability. Macs are extremely stable and usually 100% bug free.

for a long time (7 years) I was a Mac hatter, then I tried a MacPro out at my friend house and I was sold! have been very very happy with my macbook pro, untill this recent switch to SL

i have a lots of PCs and i installed osx on them. didnt u know all macs are pcs... x86 ftw!

o ya and vise versa you can install windows xp vista 7 on any intel mac....


osx 10.6 DL

I'm not biased one way or the other really. I mean, I use PC's because that's what I'm used to, but I use Macs at work and don't have a problem with them. It was just, somebody had to say it. ;)
