OS X Tiger krijgt geen Java-patch

Dan zou ik het doen via macports.org, maar kan het niet zo snel daar vinden.

Het zou beter zijn voor iedereen als Apple simpelweg geen Java en Flash meer meelevert met OS X. Dan kunnen de masochisten die het per se willen gebruiken het zelf downloaden van de site van de maker, en hoeft Apple niet constant patches te maken.

maar vreemd genoeg is dat niet de reactie van Apple users.. Die nemen het allemaal meestal niet zo serieus.
Er is toch niemand ie hun lastig valt.

Link geeft bij mij een witte pagina na lang laden.

Amazing WW?

edit: werkt nu weer.

Haha, als we meteen ook linkjes plaatsen van al die Monky-Ballmer filmpjes dan wordt het weer zo'n typische WW-discussie. Heerlijk, dan vliegen de frustraties weer over en weer!

heel leuk.. amazing grace himself ;)

een volle startup disk zal OSX sterk vertragen door het vele geswap aka vitual memeory waar OSX op leunt.
Meer RAM toevoegen, zoveel als je kunt betalen helpt een beetje.


een leuke verzameling om je veel ellende en performance problemen te besparen zie je hieronder. Zet eigenloijk gewoon bijna alles uit dat helpt wat.

Turn off the eye candy

While I imagine everyone is impressed the first time they see a window minimized to the Dock with the Genie effect, this entertainment has a performance cost. You can gain some speed by avoiding the eye candy.

* Make the Dock less entertaining
1. Open System Preferences > Dock.
2. Select Scale Effect in the Minimize Using field.
3. Deselect the Animate Opening Applications option.
* Disable window effects
* Tools such as Cocktail and TinkerTool provide options to disable effects, such as zoom and rectangle, that appear when windows and files are opened and closed. The actual settings these utilities change are already available in Mac OS X but are "hidden" as there is currently no provision for changing them in System Preferences.
* Avoid using an animated desktop background
* While entertaining, an animated desktop background steals cycles from other processes on your Mac. It is better to have a static picture as your desktop background if performance is important.
* Skip the iTunes® Visuals
* Running iTunes Visuals in the background consumes valuable processor cycles, especially when you are performing other computing tasks. It is not so much displaying the visuals as the computational effort needed to synchronize them with the music in real time that makes them so processor-intensive.
* Close nonessential Dashboard Widgets
* While Dashboard widgets do not use the CPU unless Dashboard is open, they consume both Real and Virtual Memory (VM) at all times after you open Dashboard.
* Under Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger®, you can the resources consumed by individual widgets in Activity Monitor. Activity Monitor is located in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
* Under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard®, individual widgets do not appear in Activity Monitor: the DashboardClient process is the only indication that Dashboard is running.
* You can reclaim these resources by closing nonessential widgets. To close a widget:
o Open Dashboard.
o Press and hold the Option key.
o Move the mouse pointer over a widget you wish to close. The widget's Close button (X) appears in the upper-left corner of the widget.
o Click the widget's Close button.
o Repeat steps 3-4 for other widgets you wish to close.

Repair Permissions after installing new software

Run the Repair Disk Permissions function of Disk Utility after installing any third-party application that employs its own installed. This is to avoid the possibility that a rouge installer may have reset permissions on system-related files or folders. Repairing permissions after installing a third-party application via drag-and-drop is unnecessary. For additional details, see our "The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?" FAQ.
Disable the automatic protection features of utilities

Utilities that constantly monitor your system for performance, automated data recovery, or viruses also use processor cycles. There is an obvious trade-off between these functions and Mac OS X performance. If performance is critical, disable the automatic protection features of such utilities, usually via their Preferences.
Disable or remove unnecessary fonts

Loading hundreds or thousands of fonts by default can significantly degrade Mac OS X performance. This is especially true if you use Font Book to install fonts and have not adjusted its preferences: by default, Font Book automatically enables newly-installed fonts.

If you have hundreds or more fonts to manage, consider using Font Book or a third-party font-management application to create, enable, or disable font collections when required.
Perform regular maintenance

While Mac OS X is relatively maintenance-free, by regularly performing the tasks outline in our "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ, you will help assure the best performance from your system. At a minimum, run the Mac OS X maintenance scripts regularly.
Check your processor performance setting

Some Macintosh computers can decrease the processors speed to conserve energy. To adjust the processor speed, click Options in System Preferences > Energy Saver and make the appropriate adjustments in the Processor Performance menu. Note that:

* If Options is unavailable in Energy Saver preferences, your Mac does not have this capability.
* If you are using a laptop on battery power, increasing the processor performance will shorten the amount of time you can use the computer at the battery's current state of charge.

Troubleshooting performance problems
Finding processes or applications impacting performance
To determine if a specific process or application is impacting performance:

1. Open Activity Monitor (Leopard, Tiger, Panther®) or Process Viewer (Jaguar), located in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2. In the Show pop-up menu in the toolbar of Activity Monitor or Process Viewer, assure All Processes is selected.
3. Sort the list of processes by %CPU in descending order:
* In Activity Monitor, click the %CPU column heading until the data in that column is sorted in descending order.
* In Process Viewer, click the %CPU column heading, then click the arrowhead at the right side of the column headings until the %CPU column is sorted in descending order.

The process or application using the greatest % CPU is now at the top of the list.
To terminate a process

1. Select the process you want to terminate in the list or processes.
2. Press the Command-Option-Q keyboard combination or use one of these other application-specific methods to terminate the selected process:

o Leopard, Tiger: Choose View > Quit Process or click the Quit Process icon in the toolbar.
o Panther: Choose Process > Quit or click the Quit Process icon in the toolbar.
o Jaguar: Choose Process Viewer > Processes > Quit Process.

Note that both applications you have launched and background processes, which are in themselves applications, are all regarded as processes. Process names you recognize are probably applications you have launched. Process names you do not recognize are likely background processes.

Warning: Quitting a background process can have unexpected results, so you should consider this before quitting a process you do not recognize. An excellent list of Mac OS X background processes is Westwind Computing's "Mac OS X: What Are All Those Processes?" page.

However, the worst outcome from quitting a background process is that you will have to restart your Mac. Therefore, if your system is frozen or hung, try terminating the process using the most % CPU as described above.

If you are unsure how a specific application or process was launched, see if it is a Startup or Login Item.
Resolving common performance problems
SystemUIServer: high CPU usage and menu extras

If Activity Monitor (Leopard, Tiger, Panther) or Process Viewer (Jaguar) indicates that the process SystemUIServer is consuming an inordinate amount of CPU, the problem is very likely related to a third-party menu extras. Menu extras are the icons on the right side of the Apple menu bar other than the Spotlight icon (Leopard, Tiger).

Third-party menu extras that use an active Internet connection can result in very high CPU usage if the network connection becomes busy or blocked. The chances of this increase if you are simultaneously using streaming media and a menu extra that requires an Internet connection.

Quitting your third-party menu extras should resolve the problem. veel succes want je bent wel even van de straat zo ;)

Zucht... Ja Meltdown. Je mist het punt, niet verrassend, weer eens volledig.
