After my battery disaster with a Jaguar update, I always d/l the combo update and take out my battery before running it. I use SU for non OS updates though.

This one, as all of them, went fine. I'm not sure if the speed increase I got is from the update or the permission repair and other housecleaning I did at the same time.

Installation went smoothly on my G5 tower. But my fans are now erratic.

From MacFixIt;

Fan problems (continued) Users continue to report problems with increased fan activity after installation of Mac OS X 10.4.3. As noted yesterday, the most effective workarounds for this issue are resetting the SMU, zapping NVRAM and changing processor performance settings.

Update: Disk Utility is suddenly working fine for me. It permanently hung before displaying the list of disks before, and it did so on more than one user account, across several restarts, and after repairing permissions. But today it's working fine. I can't think of anything I've done that might have changed it. The whole thing is a mystery to me.

Maybe after the update there's stuff going on in the background that hinders Disk Utility from doing _its_ job correctly... Now that those background tasks (journaling? Spotlight indexing?) are done, everything's fine...

Help! ichat & software update problems after 10.4.3 update

I updated yesterday morning to 10.4.3 via the software update - now i can use ichat but not the video conferencing option. I get this message when i try:

NSInvalidArgumentException:
*** -[FZVideoConferenceController setValidatedIdentity:]: selector not recognized [self = 0x40c7b0]

And now Software update doesnt work either - it 'quits unexpectedly' half way through.

Help! - this iChat is my only connection to my children and my husband while I am overseas.

Mine went perfectly, as it always has done.

I don't have any add-ons or UI changing software though, which seems to be the cause of most peoples problems.

My hard disk was working away happily when I first re-started, doing the whole indexing thing again I guess, took about 10 minutes.
