| Mac OS X 10.4.3 - Update good/bad? How did your update go? If you had any problems, please describe them below... (If you downloaded the delta-updater from Apple's website, please choose SU, since that'd give you the same update...) HINT: If you haven't updated yet, use the combo updater.

| I did have a problem with the Delta update but I narrowed the problem to be my new Firewire Hard Drive staying asleep, it caused a Kernal Panic upon first update restart. A quick trip to Console.app pointed that out to me. I then downloaded the 10.4.3 combo and all went well. I did noticed though one thing in the 10.4.3 Update, Disk Utility's Repair Permissions reports it fixes the same Widget permissions every time now. Also it looks like (to me at least to me) that the new Safari upgrade breaks AcidSearch v6.0 again. Can anyone else verify these claims?

| Well, someone at Apple is in trouble. They accidently removed the toolbar in 'System Preferences' (version 3.3). To return to the Utility list, one must now do a 'Command L' or 'View, Show All Preferences' menu item selection. But then, the only toolbar I ever liked was with 'Panther's 'System Preferences' (version 2.2); which, I still use with 'Tiger' version 10.4.0, 10.4.2, or 10.4.3. What I like about MacOS X version 10.4.3 - 'Disk Utility' can now verify the boot drive. Well, at least the buttons are now enabled, when the boot drive is selected.

 My install went awry rapidly. Need help badly. I attempted to install the 10.4.3 update, but received an error message, that told me there was an unexpected error in the installation and that the install program had been placed in the trash. It also told me to attempt to load the installation via the Finder. Did as I was instructed and rebooted machine. Or attempted to. Now the machine goes through the process, and gets to the loading OS X screen briefly, then I get the loading spiral, which appears and disappears, but no Tiger!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't get to permissions or anything else! Someone at Apple suggested I put in the Original Tiger CD and hold down the "C" key just to get to options, but that won't work. Now the CD is in the drive and I don't know how to eject it either (This is a Mac Mini), Some of the things I've tried. Held down "Option" and attempted to rebooted to the Open Firmware Boot Selector screen. Problem is I'm using a non-Apple keyboard and although the Alt key operated as Option key, it doesn't seem to respond now. Place my Tiger cd in drive and held down "C" key. Now thats in there Held down both mouse buttons and rebooted to try to eject cd. No luck! Any help greatly appreciated. I use this machine for everything. And no, didn't back up!! But to get unit back up would be ok, I'll start over. Thanks! |

| Only thing is Safari - Its not compatible with my 3 plugins (acidseach, pdf, .doc viewer) and the tab bar looks weird in Safari now (with the Uno interface mod). Also, Firefoxy (changes buttons in firefox) is kinda broken. The dropdowns look mangled now. On the plus side, so far I have noticed Spotlight works ALOT faster. EDIT: On second thought, it appears my word.doc and PDF viewer plugins are fine. It was Acid Search, and something else that I can't figure out. It just gives me the warning " (null) (null) v1.0b and (null) (null) v0.51 " Anyone know what plugins those could be?

Hmm this might be the reason why Safari seems so much snappier. It used to hang on "Contacting www.blabla.com" for a lot of sites for at least 2 seconds every time. Very annoying. |
