Yellow friends, I'm a regular over at the dealmac forum, but no one there seems to know the straight answer to this seemingly common problem.
I have recently backed up all of my important files before upgrading from 10.3.7 to 10.3.8. Well, right away it's been giving me some real problems on my 1Ghz tiBook. Having looked around I see that I'm not the only one. 10.3.7 was the best yet and I want to get back to it as quickly and safely as possible. I figure this might also be a nice time to wipe my drive for maintenance purposes.
I'm having apps crashing on me, most notably Photoshop. Also Safari has been a little wonky since the upgrade but a unchecking "other forms" in the auto fill" pref panel seems to have helped. Worst is that I'm having frequent wake from sleep probs (that 10.3.8 was suposed to fix, but seems to have caused instead) and occasionally my #2 USB jack has turned itself off until a restart.
I have not done cocktail/onyx becuase I've heard mixed reports.
I have repaired permissions before and after upgrades and recently just for good measure and I'm still having the same probs.
I'm looking for a link or checklist that gives the best steps for reverting to the previous OS update (for me, going back to 10.3.7) while keeping my system settings and without having to reinstall a significant amount of software.
Thks.
