MACOSX Software update form 10.4.6 to 10.4.8

Im not sure if this should go in this forum but I get the followng error when I try and run the 10.4.8 update package on a MiniMac "You cannot install MACOSX Update ( PPC ) on this volume does not meet requirements. "
The package needs 84.7MB to run but I only have 29.7GB free . Any ideas to why it will not run ??
P.S. I am newbie to MACS so I apologise in Advance for my questions if they seem dumb...

Make sure also that you're using the correct update for your system, Intel or PowerPC.
And just so you know, this forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's application for managing networked Mac workstations. Questions about Mac OS X 10.4 will get the quickest and most accurate responses if you ask in that area.

Software Updates form apple comand

I have used this unix comand com.apple.softwareupdate
CatalogURL "http://yourservername:8088" to set my mac to get updates form a server. How do I reset the my softeware update to get updates form Apple?

Do you mean you used the following:
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://yourservername:8088"
If so, Software Update should still fall back to the Apple server automatically if your local server is unavailable. However, to remove the local server entry entirely, just use
defaults delete com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL

Software update Digital signiture problem

I just purchased a brand new powermac G5 Quad 2.5ghz. after initial setup software update ran, and after it checked and found updates I recieved this error message:
"The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”."
I have never seen this before, and cannot seem to fix it. I have searched these forums and tried deleting all the softwareupdate.plist files and restarting. Does anyone have a solution for this? I have a 15inch powerbook and I've never had an error doing a software update.
Thanks for the help.

The mechanism of Software Update forms from the registration procedures upon entering license section and admin authentication received securely to install Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.4.x. Some identifiable information such as computer ID, the unique MAC address, a node information and the registered information are transmitted to an Apple server with the digital signature.
I believe this server differs from the dot mac server with the reception system that includes time zone. Presumably, grabbed your information from the dot mac for the registration results in a logic-assertion failure (perhaps unrecoverable) with the error message-- lost or corrupted the consistency of the client information as well as the packages stored in the directory. Software Update routines may no longer be able to handshake with the server. Because, Software Update server audits localizations used the license, validating some XML document, parsing a distribution script for each scheduled software to be updated.
The fundamental is a rock-solid Mac OS X Tiger multi-layed security architecture.
I cannot say for sure if the following troubleshooting can fix the problem. If you like, try removing the folder and files onto the desktop's temporary folders. Restart the computer to test the recurrence.
/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
/Users/HOME/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
/Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxxxxxxxxxxx.pl ist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
You may want to test if this BSD command works with Terminal.
softwareupdate -l
or
softwareupdate --list
If suggestions do not work, I would do everything from scratch. Note that some invisible filesystem on the HFS Plus File System can be erased with a zeroing option.

That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later. If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

Trying to buy Imovie form App store and have the message: These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update. How to solve it?

I have a MBP form July 2011, upgraded to Lion 10.7.4. Last week I had to restore the OS.
I also bought some time ago Iphoto.
Today I wanted to install Imovie from App Store. Instead of the Buy bottom I found an Accept bottom and when I tryed to install I had the message:
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
I looked for a solution and found a lot of questions about this error but not real answers to fix it.
Can you please let me know hoe to fix?

Your Mac should have had all three of the iLife apps pre-bundled with it; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed, then the apps should be on the Install DVD that came with your Mac, perhaps in a folder on the disc labeled bundled apps. After installing them, these apps would not be updated through the Mac App Store, but with Software Update.

Software update cannot connect MacOSX 10.8

Applestore Chapelfield UK replaced my Seagate hard disk under warranty, and installed mountain lion. On restoring from Time Machine backup everything works (as so far checked except iPhoto which expects an updated version of MacOSX10.8. I can't get Software Update or App Store to connect to my account although iTunes does, as does the web, email etc etc.
Advice on fixing software update - is there a version conflict?

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

Ever since the update to OS 5 software I haven't been able to sign in with the new apple id or sign in with the former apple id (software update made me change the id and password). I've also lost ability to update apps on computer. ARGH

I can't sign into itunes on my ipad (original) since the software update. Genius can't help-says its Itunes support I need, but they don't help either (tell me to reset password) which I've done several times. Can't update apps on my home computer either. Update made me change Apple id, so now it thinks I have two ids, but won't let me sign in for old one. I pad won't work at all. Frustrated beyond belief and get NO HELP from apple.
if they want us to buy their product they better start supporting them. Oh yeah, everything worked FINE before the update.
Anyone have ideas?

No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

N95 Software Updater for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopar...

Hi Guys,
I am posting this in preparation for potentially migrating from a Windows PC to a Mac.
I have just got an N95 on T-Mobile, which is fully up to date. Currently, at the moment I have a laptop running Windows XP but I am considering moving to a Max OX Leopard MacBook in a couple of months and I wondering whether there is a "Software Updater" application for Mac OS X?
I am very interested to gain a full understanding of the Mac OS X compatibility. So I'd be very interested to hear anything.
Many thanks in advance.

i haven't been a windows user since 1998.
and i dont blame nokia at all for not providing a mac tool to update firmware on our phones.
have you ever updated the firmware on ANYTHING before? no? let me give you the run-down:
1. motherboards. they used to provide DOS boot floppies to update motherboard bios, but these days it's invariably a windows gui tool. yeah - when that change happened all i could think was "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont bluescreen on me"!!!. but, thats the world today - so if you want to update the bios on your linux box, you'd better have a windows drive to boot from.
2. DVD/CD drives. again, windows gui tools - but with a higher percentage of exceptions. in some RARE cases you can even do it from linux.
3. mobile phones. well? i've never had a phone before with firmware updates even AVAILABLE. it used to be that you could tell a good motherboard manufacturer from a bad one by looking for firmware updates to its top 3 models. if there were only a few, and only for the first year, that company sucked (think Biostar). if they had ongoing support, frequent and adding features worth wanting over several years, that was a good company (think Asus). so where does that leave us? Nokia provides ongoing firmware updates. THANK YOU NOKIA FOR CARING ENOUGH TO DO IT.
yes. thank's are in order - not complaints. they dont sell windows. they dont sell macosx. they dont sell desktop operating systems at all. they sell phones. phones that have software. they provide ongoing support for these phones in the form of firmware updates. they give these updates freely and ensure that for a large portion of their user base that these updates can be installed from home with well tested code. for the rest of us? either take your phone to a nokia service center (i think the closest one to me is a 9 hour drive) or use a windows box. OR JUST KEEP YOUR OLD FIRMWARE, hell nokia isn't compelled to provide new firmware in the first place. the fast that they do is nice, but your phone does what-it-says-on-the-tin. you don't need to use windows at all if you dont want, you just cant update your firmware.
i am so sick of hearing the same tired complaints that "we'll never forgive you nokia" and "you make me switch to a competitor". its all **bleep**. you bought your nokia phone because of the features listed on the box. they are good features. the phone has these features, just as promised. use them and rejoice.
hrmph.

HT5381 i did a software update and now mail wont open at all

Help......my mail app is coming up with an error "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X". Can I uninstall the update?

!! WARNING !!
about the September 2012
"Security Update 2012-004"
If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
**BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
Been through it all, already. In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation. So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD?? Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE ! Instead, download the actual update file itself.
Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
#2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
Reboot.
After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
Happy Mac'in!

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the app "unexpedtely quits" and can't go further. This happens with iTunes (when I turn to the iTunes Store), MacApp Store, Software updates an many other apps...

I can't open almost any app on my iMac (OSX Lion 10.7.4). Every time I attempt to do so, the affected app "unexpedtely quits", showing a window (sort of expanded dialog box) with the log history, wich form a complete report wich is said to be sent to Apple. Despite that this window has a "restart" button, I haven't been able to go any further from this point, as it repeats the process again and again, impeding me to use the affected app.
This has get to a critical point, as it is afecting apps like iTunes (especifically when I turn to the iTunes Store from within te app), MacApp Store, Software Updates (I can't update anything, given this problem) and many other apps, including Aperture 3, Fusion 4, integrated Dictionary and Wikipedia, as I've been able to verify.
As far as I'm concerned, it hasn't affected apps like Office, Vectorworks, Pixelmator, iDraw, Quick Note...
Can anybody help me on this matter?
Thanks a lot, in advance...

Use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

Since last software update, pre-paid internet does not work anymore. Get "you have not signed up for a data plan" message. Pre-paid acct is in order! What's up???

I have had an iPad 3G for more than a year now. I did not get it with a SIM card, since I expected to use almost completely at home, where we have wireless internet. Eventually, I decided it would be handy to be able to take it on the road, and signed up for pre-paid Internet with KPN (national Dutch telecommunications company). That worked fine, until the last big iPad software update. Since then, whenever I try to make a connection outside the house, I get the following message…
Mobile Data Account
You have not signed up for a data plan.
Would you like to set up a new account?
If you don’t, you can do it later in Settings.
…with the options of ‘Later’ or ‘Now’ to press. If I press Now, I get a screen “Please wait while the page is loading – this should only take a few seconds to complete.” But it never does, the ball just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning….
To my mind, with pre-paid internet I should not HAVE to set up a Mobile Data Account in the first place. I’ve checked with KPN, and my account is completely in order. I’ve checked with the local Apple store, and the geniuses say they’ve never seen this. Can anyone help me?

I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
something like
Installation complete, restart your browser.
I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
And Full Screen is fine.
I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
So did a System Restore once more.
Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
I do hope this is figured out soon.
With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
Good Luck to us all.

CRM-MAS 4.0 SR1 required software updates lead to system crash !?

(long post, sorry !)
Hello
I'd like to know how MAS 4.0 behave when the software required for its installation are updated : over the past few months my computer has acted more and more strangely, and in the end I couldn't even log into Windows. The ghost we made after the installation has just ended the same way this afternoon.
As I only have installed WinMerge on that computer, my own other apps were portable apps, I was wondering if software updates could lead MAS to make the system fail.
Here is the starting environment : Windows 2000 company master with SQL Server 2000, Lotus Notes 6.5, Java 1.4.2 (and IE 6)
Required for MSA are Lotus 5 and Java 1.3.5
- Notes 6.5 is uninstalled and replaced by Notes 5.
- Java 1.4.2 is uninstalled, left registry keys manually removed and Java 1.3.5 is installed.
- Installation of MAS + SPs + packages
- Notes 5 is uninstalled and replaced by Notes 6.5 (which, I think, updates java to 1.4.2)
So first, what is the impact of updated versions for MAS ?
Second, I think I saw the behavior becoming worse after some windows update, do you think it is possible, or it just made an existing problem bigger ?
The different problems I had were first a random crash from MSA when I had IE open (email webaccess). Then it almost crashed everytime. Then I could't even get into MAS when I had IE open, then the same with Notes.
Other things (don't remember the order) were :
- Couldn't launch any application when MAS was lanched (even "My Computer" properties)
- I had visual glitches with CRM, Notes and IE when they were running at the same time
- I couldn't run the project from the debug feature of MAS ("Could not access registry").
And this afternoon, when I logon, a message asking me to increase the registry size then reboot. Then I can see the desktop but can't do anything
Besides installing WinMerge (old version, installer only), I had on my usb key : Firefox portable, Miranda portable, Notepad++ Portable and in the end I also used winmerge directly form it.
What do you think about this ? Maybe there was just a flaw in the initial computer installation, or maybe MAS does really not like to have its initial requirements updated ?
At the moment I am having my computer re-installed, and they have changed their masters to Windows XP, Notes 6.5 and Java 1.4 (maybe 1.6).
Have requirements of MSA 4 changed, for installation on WinXP ?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
François

Hi,
the installation of JRE (Java Runtime) or LN is not related to MAS directly but to an additional MSA installation. So their installation resp. update cannot have any impact on MAS.
I rather think that there might be a corruption of the Windows Installer Database which is used as a standard installation engine e.g. also for MAS.
I also can remember to have serious problems (always automatic start of Windows installer popup when trying to open MAS/MSA) some years ago on a customer MAS machine where windows updates were applied automatically.
Finally there was only the solution even to reinstall the complete OS.
Maybe you could check for microsoft tools like msicuu2.exe to uninstall the applications also from the installer database mentioned above.
By the way: Did you already check the hard disk resp. memory for failures?
Regards,
Wolfhard

Natd stopped working after Software Updates: Bogus VLAN injections?

Software Update installed three packages on the iMac today:
Safari 3.1 Update (Universal)
Security Update 2008-002 (Universal)
AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001
This machine (running 10.4.11, fully updated now) is my connection-sharing gateway the internet for my wife's MacBook, a Linux box and a TiVo unit.
Comcast ==(ethernet)== public-IP iMac ==(wireless)== private IP MacBook, Linux, TiVo
I ran my usual firewall + Internet sharing script after the mandatory reboot.
The iMac's broadband connection worked fine for local programs (Safari, ssh) but none of the machines with private IP addresses on the LAN could see the outside world. The machines on the home LAN could see each other fine -- ping, ssh, etc. Time to start testing!
When I pinged an external machine from the Linux machine, the DNS lookup succeeded after a delay, but it seemed that no ICMP responses came back. Actually, packet tracing with Wireshark showed that the responses had come in with an extra four-byte header field I had not seen before: something called "802.1Q Virtual Lan" inserted between the Ethernet II header and the Internet Protocol header. Sample packet dump (slightly edited):
No.:  20
Time:  00:04:56.746703
Source:  64.233.187.99
Destination:  192.168.1.2
Protocol:  ICMP
Info:  Echo (ping) reply
Frame 20 (102 bytes on wire, 102 bytes captured)
Ethernet II, Src: AppleCom_54:1b:30 (00:17:f2:54:1b:30), Dst: FirstInt_94:75:8f (00:40:ca:94:75:8f)
*802.1Q Virtual LAN*
     *001. .... .... .... = Priority: 1*
     *...0 .... .... .... = CFI: 0*
     *.... 0000 0000 0000 = ID: 0*
     *Type: IP (0x0800)*
Internet Protocol, Src: 64.233.187.99 (64.233.187.99), Dst: 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2)
Internet Control Message Protocol
Looking further back in the trace, it turned out that the DNS delay had the same oddity. The Linux machine sent out a request to the primary DNS server, got back an immediate response with the extra "802.1Q" field, waited 5 seconds, sent out a DNS request to the secondary server, got an immediate normal response (without "802.1Q"), then immediately used the returned numeric address for the pings. It's as if the Linux machine ignored the packet with the extra, interposed header.
I traced HTTP traffic to google.com and saw a similar pattern:
1. bogus 1st DNS response
2. delay
3. good second DNS response
4. sent HTTP SYN packet
5. got back HTTP SYN/ACK with extra "802.1Q" field
6. multiple retries of steps 4 and 5.
I suspect that one or more of the software updates is inserting this VLAN stuff into NAT-ed packets over Airport. The receiving machines drop the packets because they expect the Ethernet II header to be followed by the IP header, not 802.1Q data.
An old discussion thread ([VOIP VLAN using 802.1q frames causing massive dropped packets|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=378673#1833386]) talked about a similar problem.
Here are the NAT-related commands from my firewall script:
  natd -u -dynamic -interface en0
  /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from not me to any via en0
  sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Question: is there a known workaround to get the MacOSX network drivers not to insert 802.1Q VLAN headers?
Thanks in advance!

Hello faab:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I am afraid to indicate that you probably will need to wait until you are back and have the software install DVD.
There is really no way to tell what happened. To fix it, however, you really need the DVDs.

Installed 10.7.3 software update, HP printers do not work anymore

I installed the latest software update. None of my HP printers work anymore. I have an HP Deskjet 2330, and an HP C5580 All In One. I tried resetting and then I added the printers again. It did not work. I have a 13 inch Mac Book Pro that was made in early 2011. It has a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB of memory.
When I use my all-in-one as a copy machine, it works fine. When I try to print something in it, I get a message that it is sending data to the printer and then nothing happens. The printer just sits there. The 2330 has a different problem. It acts like it is printing, but no images form on the paper. I replaced the ink cartridge and it made no difference. I tried cleaning the print heads on both but got an error message after a while. Both printers worked well for years. The problem started suddenly after the software update. I find scattered complaints on the web about this, but nothing particularly helpful for my situation. Help!

Are the printers connected to the Mac via USB or are they networked.
If they are USB connected, then you could try a reset of the printing system. This will remove all devices from Print & Scan, but not the supporting drivers, so you will only have to add the printers again.

MACOSX Software update form 10.4.6 to 10.4.8
