basically just hold down ctrl and scroll. works great with my ibook's 2 finger trackpad.

You sure iSync support SE P990i? Been google it and the results was negative. Rumours said it will be added in next OSX build, 10.5.

Click Here and read from post #958. that's what happen when I update from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8

But I guess not everyone is experiencing this, since only my MacBook faced this, not my G5 iMac.

my router is next to my MB.....

i dont know if it's TMnet's problems or what....but my desktop seems to be fine....

when i go to my living room, my MB is about 7-8 meters from the router...then langsung cannot connect....

it used to have a VERY stable connection....but after updating, it becomes unstable...

P.S. i stay in a 2 bedroom condo....so i dont think distance of the router my MB is an issue....

mind telling what tweaks have you done to your router??

mine is getting really out of hand.....1 hour disconnects at least 6-7 times....

and everytime i have to turn Airport off then turn it on again, wait for 3-4 minutes then it'll connect back....

There have been so many discouraging remarks on the update 10.4.8, are there any positive ones? Improvements? Something that makes us wanna download and update it immediately?

From all these, many ppl dont want to update it. Just hope there are more feedbacks..

No problems such as sudden disconnection or whatsoever with my router.
Range of wireless hmm.. didnt notice any changes.

Dont use Microsoft Messenger , instead go with aMsn or GAIM. MSN Messenger for the mac is not a real messenger , it has soo many holes. From time to time it hangs [sigh]

I updated it and my mac boots 5% slower...*sigh*

let's put it this way, i am willing to format my macbook and maybe revert it back to 10.4.7

i am really having a lot of problems with 10.4.8......especially on networking parts....

bootups are also a bit slower, applications open slower.....

so far i didnt see any good points on 10.4.8........but that's just me.....

when you got your macbook did you clean-install the entire OS with custom settings...?

I've upgraded without any hitch, then again my system was already slow prior to 4.8 due to the accumulated apps and files in a year, so I'd formatted it and re-install everything i had, and my system's snappier with 4.8 installed. And it seems like memory management's more efficient after the upgrade....

sounds to me like Intel's still sucks.... 30MB on PPC vs 200+ over on Intel... shocking.gif shocking.gif

With 10.4.8 they started moving away from DSMOS-style (TPM) protection to more uh, advanced methods. Which explains the huge size I guess.
