Apple Releases 10.4.10

I believe this is the first time in OS X history where we’ve gone above 10.x.9. The MacBook I just purchased for my girlfriend is telling me there is a system update, 10.4.10. The combined update is 304MBs. It includes:

Bluetooth

  • Addresses an issue in which a Bluetooth headset may show up as an available device for sound output in the Sound preference pane after it had been removed from Bluetooth preferences.

Third-party

  • Adds RAW image decoding support for the following cameras: Panasonic DMC-LX1, Panasonic DMC-LX2, Leica M8, Leica D-LUX 2, Leica D-LUX 3, Fuji S5 Pro, Nikon D40x, and Canon EOS 1D Mk III.
  • Resolves an issue in which some DNG images may appear tinted or distorted.
  • Improves compatibility of Mathematica 6 with 64-bit Macs.

USB

  • Improves reliability when using the IR remote control after waking from sleep.
  • Improves reliability when mounting external USB hard drives.
  • Resolves an issue in which a TomTom GO 910 may not be recognized when connected via USB to an Intel-based Mac.

Other

  • Improves responsiveness when using the Control-Eject key combination to display a shutdown dialog.
  • Addresses a specific issue in which users importing video from a DV camera may experience dropped frames.
  • Includes recent Apple security updates.
  • Addresses issues with calendar calculations in certain applications.
  • Addresses issues when rounding decimal numbers for display in certain applications.
  • For Motion, addresses an issue in which some texture corruption could appear in Motion if VRAM is full.

  • New Apple Display with Thunderbolt

    Apple’s Display offering got a little sweeter today as well.

    As a replacement for the former Apple LED Display, the new 27-inch Apple Display includes Thunderbolt technology, which is quickly becoming an industry-leading connection standard. The Display still boasts the same 16:9 aspect ratio, glossy screen and 2560 x 1440 resolution.

    Thunderbolt technology lets you move data between your devices and your computer at roughly 10-Gbps throughput (both ways). As a data transfer connection, it is “up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800.” A user can now run two displays off of a single Thunderbolt port.

    Touted as “The ultimate docking station,” the Thunderbolt Display also includes high-quality audio, a FaceTime HD camera, three powered USB ports, FireWire 800 and Gigabit Ethernet ports in addition to the Thunderbolt port that allows for daisy-chaining peripherals (such as hard drives and video capture devices).

    Bonus: the Thunderbolt Display uses a MagSafe connector that will power and charge your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, so there’s no need to use their power cords.

    The Thunderbolt Display perfectly complements the new Mac mini and MacBook Air models as well as the current line of iMacs and MacBook Pros.
