Neil Lee of Cocoatech, which developed the innovative Path Finder alternative to Apple's clunky Mac OS X Finder, emailed us about a Mac OS X "stealth upgrade" for the Mac Pro:
[Neil Lee] Here's something strange - it seems there are at least two different builds of OS X 10.4.7 that are included with shipping Mac Pro machines.
We (Cocoatech) have been trying to track down an issue with Path Finder where it crashes on launch when run on the new Mac Pros. After reporting this to Apple they confirmed the issue and said it was due to a bug in the OS that they said they would fix in an OS update (the rumoured 10.4.8?). We've been waiting with bated breath to get our hands on a Mac Pro ourselves so we could do some of our own testing.
To our surprise, Path Finder ran with no problems on our Mac Pro (3GHz, 3GB RAM). After much troubleshooting to try to narrow down what the difference was between our machine and other Mac Pros that exhibited this issue we discovered the installed OS on our Mac Pro is a newer build.
Our customers that have been having this problem all seem to be running Mac OS X 10.4.7 build 8K1079. Our Mac Pro, which runs Path Finder just fine, is Mac OS X 10.4.7 build 8K1124.
I'd be interested to hear from other Mac Pro owners what OS X build their machine is running. To see the build number go under the Apple menu to "About This Mac". When the About This Mac window appears, click on the version number just under the Apple logo and it will change to show you the build number.
Obviously Apple caught this issue (albeit a little late) and has updated their factory OS X image. But how many machines out there got the old, "buggy" version?
[We wonder how many other products are getting hurt by this bug. Our first-day Mac Pro is running Build 8K1079, and Software Update is making no change in it. -MacInTouch]
