Intel or PPC update ?

Strange, I went for the automatic update (through Apple - Software Update ...), and the an update file of 64 Mb got downloaded. But looking on the Apple site, this seems to correspond with the update for a PPC. I ave a MacBookPro, so Intel. How could this be ??
(update was fine for me, no problems found - yet)

Hm, update log mentions:
2006-06-28 19:08:59 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X-update (Intel)" (10.4.7)
Seems ok. Others had same remarks in this forum (answered by below link).

MBP 2GHZ: Updated to 10.4.7 wit PPC update!!!!!

My system has been update with the PPC update!
The download has been 64Mb (PPC) and the instalation failed.
Now, my system runs slow, the system thinks that it is a 10.4.7 OSX, but you don't see the update 10.4.7 on "installed updates".
Any idea??
A bomb???

hmm no. in my auto software update it says "Mac OS X
Update (Intel) 10.4.7 64.9MB"
i'm installing it now.
I'm currently updating my G5 tower. It says "MacOSX Update(PPC)" and weighs in at 39.8 MB.

Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool ISO does not boot

Hello everyone
Yesterday I tried to install Mavericks on my MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 but I got stuck because I have an Intel SSD inside and it seems that MacOSX 10.8 doesn't have the right driver on board. So I downloaded the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool 2.0.6 ISO, burned it on a CD with DiscUtility and tried to boot from it.
The problem is that it doesn't boot from the CD. It just ends with the blinking/flashing question mark folder.
Luckily I have a second MacBook Pro 13" 8,1 from work. Just out of couriosity I inserted the disk inside this MacBook and tried to boot from it.
Everything went fine. I saw the Intel Firmware Updater etc.
So now my question: What is going on with my first mac? Why does it NOT boot the CD?
What I need to say at this point: I burned the CD with the MacBook from work. Could this be the reason?
hope someone can help me
Best Regards
krebbl

yes that's right. Unfortunatly I don't have a Windows PC.
But like I said, my second MacBook Pro boots from this CD and shows me the firmware updater. My first MacBook with the Intel SSD does not.
And like in the post here http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57575091-263/intel-x25-ssd-incompatible-wit h-os-x-10.8.3/ it should be no problem.
Are there other ways to boot an ISO file?

Burning disk from Intel or PPC, is there a difference when booting?

Hi,
I have a Intel iMac and a PPC PowerBook G4.
I have an .iso of my OS X Leopard 10.5 DVD (backup copy) that I want to burn using Disk Utility on a DL DVD, then use it to install Leopard on the PowerBook G4.
I already have done a .iso file from the disk.
OS X Leopard 10.5 is Intel and PPC compatible, from the same disk.
Question:
-If I do the process of burning the .iso to a DL DVD from a Intel iMac, will it only boot from an Intel Machine?
-If I burn the .iso from the PowerBook G4 under 10.4, will it boot on the PowerPC?
Burn ISO’s using Disk Utility
Insert a blank disc.
Start Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app)
From the File menu, choose “Open Disk Image” and select the ISO you want to burn
In the list of volumes, select ISO file.
Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
Thanks,

The point is not regarding whether I should have a backup of my OS X disk, but rather to understand how boot disk are made with regards to the Intel PowerPC nuance.
This applies also if I wanted a boot disk to run some utilities. I would like to burn it and make sure the disk boot on the correct hardware.
I would like to understand if it matters on which machine (Intel) you burn the disk, if it will be used on the different hardware (PowerPC).

XEN VM - Applying Intel CPU microcode update fails

Hi,
I just installed OEL5 and I get the following message on boot:
Applying Intel CPU Microcode update: FATAL: Module microcode not found.
ERROR: Module microcode does not exist in /proc/modules [Failed]
From my quick Google search this is caused by the XEN virutualization. If you you get the [Failed] message then you have a serious problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks
David

The same happens booting a xen linux kernel on original RHEL and derivatives (such has centos)
I just ignored it, and AFAIK there's no problem with xen.
Just my 2 cents.

>cant insall last driver from intel(they told me that i must download new driver from Toshiba
It is possible to install the driver from Intel but you have to do this is device manager!
You have to FORCE windows choosing the downloaded driver and this can be done using the advanced installation procedure. This helps to choose the driver from Intel and to finish the installation!

10.4.7 PPC Update installed instead of Intel one on my Intel Mac

I used software update to install the 10.4.7 update yesterday. The interesting thing is software update reported the upgrade as 64MB in size. I'm sure the Intel upgrade is supposed to be around 133MB in size though. As my Mac Mini is an Intel Mac, have I installed the right update?
I installed the update anyway and my mac mini still seems to be working, but will this have repercussions later on? To compare, I installed the 10.4.7 on my Intel Macbook this afternoon and the update was 133MB in size. So what update have I installed on my mini, is it the correct one, and what do I do if it isn't?

Software Update usually is able to detect which is the correct update. Updates may be different sizes on Software Update depending on the model that they are updating. If you had 10.4.5 or earlier installed, Software Update will use the Combo instead of the Delta update. The combo update includes all the updated information from 10.4.6 in addition to that of 10.4.7 when updating, whereas the Delta is only the changes from 10.4.6 to 10.4.7. You haven't stated that your machine is misbehaving in anyway, so I think you installed the right update. Look in your Library Receipts folder to determine which update was installed:

PPC Update 10.4.7 and Preview went nuts

After I updated to 10.4.7 (PPC), some PDF look awful, with black squares in some fonts, like in this picture:
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4305/893/1600/Picture%201.png
With Japanese PDFs is worse, since all the Japanese font looks like that.
On my MacBook it looks OK (10.4.7 - Intel).
Any idea why this happens?

Apparently, a corrupted install or the installation uncovered some problem and got screwed up. Download the 10.4.7 COMBO update from the downloads link at this page's top, boot with your Tiger install disk, click on your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Utilities->Disk Utility and repair the disk and permissions. Once that gives you a clean bill of health, boot back into the machine, reinstall the COMBO update, restart, repair permissions, restart, and that should do it.

How do I copy iPhoto 7.1 Library from Intel to PPC Mac and back

Hello all
I apologize for the long first post; but I've been lurking for a while and haven't seen a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have two Macs - a PowerBook G4 and an Intel Mini. I copied the 6.x Library from the PB to the Mini. The copy was successful - no issues. I upgraded iLife on both machines successfully: both machines opened the 6.x Library and updated it the 7.0.1 Package Library. All was well.
I updated both machines to iPhoto 7.1. All was well.
I updated the PB to 7.1.1 + all the recent updates. All was not well! The Library seemed to be corrupted! When I clicked on a thumbnail I would see the photo "zoom" but then I'd see a black window. Clicking again would unzoom and I'd again see all the thumbnails. If I tried to export a photo Preview couldn't view it because it was "corrupt" or should be opened by another application.
After numerous troubleshooting steps - repairing permissions, deleting preferences, trying to rebuild the thumbnail caches, rebuild the Library, recover lost photos etc I gave up.
I've wiped the PB clean and installed Leopard and iPhoto 7.1 - not 7.1.1.
Now I want to copy the iPhoto Library from the Mini (also iPhoto 7.1). I tried copying the package across the network by "Connect to server" in Finder but that produced the same "corrupted" symptoms. (Thumbnails would zoom to black window.)
So here's the question(s):
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
I use the PB on the road and on vacation to capture my 'photos; but I like to display them on my HDTV connected to my Mini - hence my need to periodically copy the Library from the PB to the Mini.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.

No.

Try using Firewire target mode.

T540p battery drain in S4 state after Bios and Intel Wifi driver update

Hey Guys,
on my T540p, I configured the rapid start technology according to
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide.pdf
Since I have performed a BIOS update to 2.14 and an update of the Intel Wifi driver to 17.0.5, I experience the problem of battery drain when the computer is in S4 sleep state, at a rate of approximately 0.125% per hour (on the 56Wh battery).
This was not the case before these updates. There was no noticable power drain in S4 sleep state, even not over multiple days.
I'm using Win7, I set all the WoL capabilities both in BIOS and in the Intel driver to disabled, according to
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-Z-and-P-series/Battery-drain-when-powered-down-Y410P/td-p...
External device USB charge settings are also fully disabled in BIOS and Power Manager. The problem does not occur when the system is fully shut down, but in S4 Sleep state, which should be a zero-power state too, as it was before the updates. In the details of the BIOS update it is stated " Fixed an issue where the computer might fail to enter sleep state". Could the power drain be a side effect of this fix? Or is it an issue with the (new) Wifi driver, as it was the case for the Y410P?
How could this battery drain be avoided? Has anybody experienced the same issue?
Best,
Martin
Solved!

mka1284,
you could check out devices that might resume laptop from the sleep modes and disable them. Type in the following command in the cmd line window:
powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
Also the following command will show you report about power management. Open cmd window with administrative rights and type in:
powercfg -energy.

T430 Intel HD4000 driver update crash and won't reinstall

I clicked Update Driver under properties for the Intel HD4000 and the laptop crashed. On reboot, the display is shown as a Generic PnP Moniter with Standard VGA Graphics Adapter also the driver for the graphic adapter shows 8-bit with a driver date from 2006. I tried to manually update the driver from the Lenovo site but it says the system doesn't support it.
The laptop is less than 30 days old. It also has the Nvidia video.
Solved!

Don't use the Update Driver button in Device Manager. It doesn't really work properly. Use System Update and Windows Update.

Intel GMA950 drivers/update help play spore!?

Hi, I am having trouble running spore on my macbook, i am able to play somewhat but i cant seem to view the creature creations part, at certain points the screen is black where it should show color. since this only happens in certain points of the game i am curious if this is fixable with a driver update(where i could get this driver for a intel GMA 950 for mac im not sure) now i know that on the box it says that the game only supports the x1300 intel gpu, but the game runs already on the 950 more-so than not. if someone could help me i would greatly appreciate a link to possibly update graphics drivers if there are any, or if someone knows of a fix for the game spore (note that i have heard of a fix for the mac mini and the game works fine on windows with an intel 950.) just macbook users with a 950 are sitting in the dust. help plz.

I just got an update for my trial edition of the Spore Creature Creator. Previously i wasnt able to run it on my Intel GMA 950 MacBook. Now it runs perfectly after the update was installed. There might be hope for an update to the full game that will allow compatibility with the 950 for the creature creation part.

PPC Update 10.4.7 and USB hub problems

Hi,
After installing the PPC 10.4.7 combo update on my PowerPC G5 dual 2.7 GHz (4GB RAM) I have problems with my USB hub. The update seemed to have been installed properly (two reboots and no error messages) but since then my Kensington track ball does no longer work after power on. I have to detach and reattach the USB hub to reactivate the trackball. The problem does not occur after a restart (only after a power off/on cycle).
The USB hub did work before the update and I did not change the configuration after the update.
I hope someone can help me with this as it is very frustrating for me to crawl under my desk to detach and reattach the USB hub every time I turn on my mac...
Thanks for any help!

I can't help you, but I wanted to say that I have a similar problem. After a sleep/wake, my hub doesn't wake up. I have done a bunch of troubleshooting, including buying a new hub, which did not solve the problem (I took it back). When I reboot, all is back to normal. I have a 2001 Powermac G4 with a Sonnet Allegro USB 2.0 card that I added, over a year ago. It has worked fine since I bought it. Now, after upgrading to OS 10.4.7, I have this sleep/wake problem with the USB hub (Keyspan).
I have checked the ports on the USB card and I have found that at least one port is dead when I wake the machine back up. I can switch over devices around and they work in the remaining three ports on the board. The hub, however, does not work at all in any port, until after a reboot. There must be some special signal that the board sends out to the hub that resets it after a boot. I don't know. It's very frustrating, though. I don't like waiting for a reboot, which is why I have gotten in the habit of using sleep.
Maybe someone else has some idea what might be causing this problem? It could be just a coincidence that it started soon after the OS update. Maybe the board just decided to go bad at this particular time...?
