Actually…
10.4.3 [final] broke Front Row…

I think Apple saw this coming.
Looks like the smart sods read the news and follow the tech, eh?

Ah well. iLife 06 it is.

@ Lasse…

As great as that would be, it won’t happen. This is a maintenance update.

I don’t think OS updates ever change the firmware of a machine.
those are usually stand alone updates specific to a machine.

I don’t have any problems, 10.4.2 works just fine. I hope they include Frontrow and photo booth in this new update! I am a new mac user (6 weeks) so maybe I don’t know what is normal behavior =)

10.4 changed the firmware in the memory controller on at the very least the 1.25GHz PowerBooks to make them much more picky about memory. My wife had 512MB in her powerbook that worked flawlessly under 10.3 but caused the computer to panic and freeze from time to time under 10.4. Replacing it with the most expensive memory they had (which was free since it was under a lifetime warranty) fixed this problem. If you’ve installed cheap memory (particularly in a powerbook) this may well be the cause of your problem. The only way we isolated it was by running TechTool for 12 hours straight.

yea, i don’t have a problem, and i have front row installed on my ibook (G3 series too)… so the comment about it messing up your computer is false, i see no errors, nor have any errors from 10.4.2
