crashing Tiger, hidden dragons

I should know better than to upgrade things. I was all proud of myself for succeeding in getting Tiger working, no problem. I had heard all of the Mail.app problems but given that i had already destroyed Mail.app on my Mac and had never succeeded in getting it working, i didn’t let this bother me – i’m still using pine. I love the Dashboard, i love the iCal/Addressbook connections. I still don’t get Safari RSS but so it goes. Everything seemed fine, seemed totally cool…. And then it didn’t….

Firefox and Safari both seem to crawl trying to load pages and i can’t figure out why. OK. This is irritating but so what. And then the worst thing happened. I can’t print. I try to print from Preview or Word and down they go, crash bang booom death. Why? Why on earth can’t i print to any IP printserver? It reminds me of when i used to crash the fileserver using Photoshop – it just crashes the program and doesn’t explain why or what’s going on. Grrrr. Is anyone else having this problem?

    i had similar problems when i was using predefined dns servers on a dhcp connection…. It absolutely choked, i cleared the dns and saved and it worked fine.

    Ugh, upgrade pains. I haven’t had those problems specifically, but 2 things come to mind:

    1. Have you tried deleting the printer connections and building them again?

    2. How did you upgrade to Tiger? Normal upgrade, or did you go in and change it to Archive & Install? The latter is so much better that I’m really not sure why they don’t make it the default. If you keep having problems, you might want to consider going back and reinstalling it.

    Oh, and one of the best ways to narrow down mysterious system problems is to create a new account, then try to do the things you were doing in the other account. If the problems go away, then it’s something in your user account — if not, then it’s somewhere in /Library or /System.

    I’m a Mac user to, but since I use my computer for business I’ve learned to wait on major upgrades. I’ve been burned more than once. Tiger looks impressive, but not very necessary right now. When I have too many projects to complete, I just don’t have to work out the bugs when I’m waiting the bottom line. Good luck in getting things worked out.

    When I upgraded to Tiger, I rebooted only to be greeted by a black and white text screen full of debug output followed by a kernel panic. Rebooting and even power cycling didn’t help. A friend from a mailing list told me how to clear the PRAM using keys held down on startup but this didn’t help. The next guess was that my Microsoft keyboard connected by a PS2-to-USB convertor wasn’t getting the signals through so I went out the next morning and bought a new USB keyboard. I cleared the PRAM and then ran the Tiger upgrade again. After that I could boot but my lookup daemon kept crashing so the Internet was impossible to use. I then reinstalled Tiger from scratch and got the Net back but it decided my keyboard was Dvorak and not Qwerty. When I finally figured this out, I still couldn’t authenticate but it turned out that the keymap was still being treated as Dvorak only in those authentication windows and not so far as I could tell anywhere else. A reboot fixed this. So much fun!

    I have spent the past few days wondering why Apple hates me so much…

    Can’t speak to the Mac issue, but isn’t Safari based on the same engine as Firefox? I don’t know if you can tweak it in the same way, but there are some configuration keys in Firefox that can help make it scream.

    First, open a tab and type about:config in the url.

    Then the changes:
    Change network.http.pipelining to “true”
    Change network.http.proxy.pipelining to “true”
    Change network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to “30”

    Then right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer; call it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This loads pictures faster.

    I have no idea why such tweaks aren’t standard. I also have no idea if you can do something like this in Safari. There’s always Camino.

  6. Rich

    No, Safari isn’t based on the same Gecko engine as Firefox. It’s based on (a variant of) the KHTML engine that was originally used in KDE’s Konqueror browser.

    Rich,
    I’m sorry to hear that you were forced into dvorak keyboard mode unwillingly. Oddly, as a dvorak user, I keep finding 10.4 doesn’t consistently respect my dvorak status. I suspect we’re experiencing two sides of the same bugginess. In the international panel, I’ve turned off the “Allow a different input source for each document” setting, and I’m hoping that will help.

    ::sigh:: Sadly, i’ve tried all of this and gotten nowhere. The problem is not just one application, but all applications. I can’t print to PDF, i can’t print to local printers, i can’t print to networked printers. It crashes the various tools. The only tool that will give me debugging info is word which spits out:

    Actually a friend of mine upgraded and now her SPSS, Endnote and Word don’t work at all – so she is quite annoyed, and her fiance who works at Apple doesn’t know what the problem is either…not fun.
    good luck!

    Danah, you certainly should try the “create a new user” test. It’s important to figure out if this is an account problem, or a system problem.

    If it is a system problem, it sounds like you’re at least able to access your files…so why not do a backup and reinstall? It sounds like you’re already living with some system corruption (the Mail.app issue) and it’s better to do this before something happens to your data.

  11. paul

    First, you are using a really old version of Word (10.1.1) and should upgrade to Office 10.1.6.

    From the backtrace, it looks like some sort of Epson printer is used:
    preparePageFormatTicketForEpsonPDE

    the crash is deep inside the printer-specific code.

    – what kind of printer do you have?
    – are you using the Epson driver or the GIMP print driver?
    – have you tried deleting the printer and re-adding it?
    – if you do a print preview, does that crash, too, or only when you actually print?
    – can you print to other printers?
    – can you print from applications other than word or preview?

    regarding the safari/firefox problems, it sounds like a DNS server issue. are you seeing it everywhere with your powerbook or just at home?

    ***1. Have you tried deleting the printer connections and building them again?***

    Printing to my ancient LaserWriter 4/600 was glacial after I upgraded. Followed the tip above and it worked fast and fine. Thanks.

  13. museumfreak

    I was considering upgrading–but it sounds like the hundred bucks I got from various relatives for graduation would best be spent on something else and I should pick up tiger later.

    Thanks for the firefox tips! Apparently those get reset either when you upgrade firefox or when you clear your cache, so I appreciate the reminder to do it again.

    The google math

    So it’s been a while I’ve been pondering moving to using gmail as my main mailbox. The nice move of doubling the mailbox size, and make it evergrowing, really made me quite over the cliff… yet a ten year long habit of having all my mail here with me…

  15. Mike

    I’am also using tiger and have not have such a problems, only one problem that I had was DVD player, it just unexpectadly started to quit, and non of updates helped, i just reinstalled it.
