Apple posts Keynote 4.0.2, Pages 3.0.2, Numbers 1.0.2 Updates
I prefer to use download updates vs Software Update. Links below:

  • Keynote 4.0.2 ("This update primarily addresses performance issues while playing or exporting presentations.")
  • Pages 3.0.2 ("This update addresses compatibility with Mac OS X.")
  • Numbers 1.0.2 ("This update addresses compatibility with Mac OS X.")

Question for 2008 Mac Pro owners w/reboot on Wake from Sleep
If you've having this problem (repeatable), before you try a SMC/Pram reset, etc. (which some have said helped) - see if your Energy Saver Options are set to Restart after a Power Failure. (The 'Restart automatically after power failure" option). If so uncheck that option as a test. I'm curious if the system would then restart or just shut down on wake from sleep. (Just as a crude test to see if power is dropping out/below usable levels or if it's just causing a system restart. The system logs may also show some useful info.)
Let me know the results. Thanks. (As always if you're using an UPS, include info/ratings on it also.)
FYI: Initial replies say the system still reboots regardless of the setting. (And some said they never had the option checked to begin with.)

The page of MacBook Pro owner reports on Express34 Cards has another (not good) report from an eSATA card user (tried both Kouwell 5652E3 and Griffin eSATA Cards - also see earlier reports on Griffin and other eSATA cards there.)
