Yes. I just found out about "combo updates." They include all the updates from 10.0 up through the most recent one. I needed to update from 10.4.2 to 10.4.6 and didn't realise that I needed 10.4.3, .4, .5 before updating to 10.4.6. I kept getting the message that my hard drive couldn't accept the update. I finally figured out that I needed the previous updates. Guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake. So - I updated one step at a time.
Also, I'm one of the few (I guess) that have dial-up to the net and can't download for 6+ hours without losing the connection. The automatic update doesn't work for me. So - I downloaded the updates on a Windows computer that has broadband and saved the downloads to a CD. It only took a few minutes! Then I took the CD and downloaded the updates to my computer at home. I still didn't understand the "combo" concept so I did 4 updates. They all installed o.k.
But - when I went to open PageMaker 7.0, the icon just bounced around in the dock and the application didn't open. I tried to open it from an existing PageMaker file. More bouncing! Classic wasn't starting up either. Finally I looked for Classic in the the Finder "Help" and found it in the "Library" Preference Panes. I found that I could start it up from there and then somehow found out I also needed to rebuild the desktop. Once I got Classic started and rebuilt the desktop PageMaker opened! Whew! (I really don't understand what happens when the desktop is rebuilt!)
Has anyone else had a problem similar to this after updating?
I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.6 (now) with 256 mg of RAM (I know. I need more!) Any suggestions for cheap RAM? I printed out the directions for installing it from Apple Support so I think I can install it myself.
