The 10.4.10 Update is OK for most folks

Greetings,
Just to let folks know that not all of us are having issues. I have 2 Macs in my office, 30 MacBooks in a classroom, 6 active at home and all were updated without any issues at all. There is an equal mix of Intel and PPC machines so I can't see anything specific to one or th eother - not in my case anyway. In fact they seem to operate smoother, but that may be an illusion, or wishful thinking.
They were all updated almost as soon as the update came out, within a couple hours of each other - I had several people helping here at the school and my wife and myself at home. We're up 'til late, and I'm up and at 'em early (03:00).
I have an iMac and MacBook running Parallels, with Vista loaded that I use to manage Active Directory with, and it works fine as well.
As is my practice, I always repair permissions before and after any updates, and after I make sure that all running programs and unnecessary utilities are shutdown prior to the update. It has always served me well.
I use Onyx to clean up any exteraneous garbage in the system at least once a week.
Unlike a lot of folks, I have always shut my machines off when not in use for extended periods (a couple of hours, or more), it is ludicrous to leave them on 24/7, as far as I'm concerned - It doesn't take that long to boot up. I have had Macs and PeeCees since they became publicly available, and I have always treated them (workstations/notebooks) this way.
The exception would be the lab as it runs Deep Freeze which protects the machines and they are always in a pristene state - I just have to unfreeze it, do the update, and refreeze it. With this, the Macs always boot back to the original setup deleting any changes that were done by the students. Good software.
I don't know what to say to the few folks, comparitively speaking, that are having issues except to back date the update to 10.4.9 or before, and make sure all is as it should be and run permission repairs before and after and clean up the unnecessary junk with Onyx or something like it.
I would also use the combo update at that point to make sure everything that should be updated is updated.
If there is something sppecific happening, I'm sure Apple will fix it soon.
Good Luck All,
M.

YOu must have been VERY busy. Firstly - you've installed the update on 32 CPUs and secondly you had the chance to test all of them ???
I've installed this demonic update on 3 Mac - all showing the same symptoms. Busted audio and funny looking "darker" screens. Many users in the audio industry are stating the same fact about funny audio - there have even been recorded and released statistics 2day proving the audio story true.
I think it is great that you wanna take the wind out of the sails but I find it irresponsible as well as you can not have been testing all those macs. With all due respect: Maybe you cant tell the difference... It all depends on how you USE the mac....
After the update my Mail app and safari was working great and so was text edit.... But that does NOT give an overall impression of an update.

    You should contact the developer directly to inform them of any issues.
    There should be links in the App and if not, there should be links
    to the developer's site and support in their presentation in the App Store.

    There's no 3.6.18, so there appears to be a glitch in the update checking. Or the message is not really from Firefox (malware site).

  • I have Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones.  I am unable to insert the male end all the way into the IPAD3.  I do have sound in the headphones, however.  Is this common for most headsets on the IPAD3?

    I have Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones.  I am unable to insert the male end all the way into the IPAD3.  I do have sound in the headphones, however.  Is this common for most headsets on the IPAD3?

    No, it's not common for any of the headphonse I've plugged into my iPad, but that doesn't mean it isn't normal for this particular set of headphones and iPad.  That said, are you sure you've pushed the plug in all the way?  I have found that on my New iPad, the headphone plug requires more effort to connect the plug than on my previous iPad 2.  If they sound fine, I guess I wouldn't be concerned.  If they don't sound good, it could be an issue.

  • Has the 7.6.1 update fixed ANYTHING for anyone?

    Has anyone who was previously trying to figure out the problems with the iTunes 7.6 update had any success with the 7.6.1 update? There has been a lot of fury and frustration over this version of iTunes and one has little recourse if they didn't backup their library right before the update (since iTunes 7.6 update renders the library unusable if you try to revert to 7.5...thanks Apple!) I'm just wondering if anyone who has began posting mid-January after the initial update has found any solutions.
    I'm hesitant to update to 7.6.1 based on what I've read so far. And I find it unbelievable that Apple has essentially provided an update that has disabled so many people's primary music playback device and jeopardized their reputation in such a drastic way. iTunes is the backbone of Apple's growth market! Word of this has spread fast. A majority of people use their computer for 3 things: Internet, email, and music. Well, so much for the music part if you were foolish enough to upgrade to iTunes 7.6.
    I used to brag about not being a guinea pig beta tester like the PC world was whenever Microsoft updated. Unfortunately, I can no longer make that claim.
    FWIW, my work around has been quite simple. Launch iTunes and walk away for 10-20 minutes. That's how long the beachball lasts. Then I'm fine. iTunes actually works better for me on my Power PC G5 in that I don't get an 8-20 second beachball every time I go to GET INFO to alter tags.
    I'd love to hear how anyone else is dealing with it.

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • When will the 10.8.2 update be available for 13inch retina macbook pros?

    How do i update to 10.8.2 to have power nap enable for my new 13inch Macbook Pro Retina?

    All you have to do is open your Mac App Store application and select Software Upgrades at the top.  It wiall then check your computer for all available software upgrades, and offer them for download.
    Apparently some Users are posting that ththe 10.8.2 Update has been removed by Apple from the Store for now.  No reason given, so we'll have to wait and see.
    Hope this helps

  • Does the sequence of Insert/Update matter?

    Dear friends
    I wanted to know whether there is any difference in results if I change the sequence of Insert/Update statements. For example, if I'm inserting / updating records in a table, normally I write my code as below
    <code>
    Begin
    Insert Into Table Name(...)
    Values(...);
    Exception
    When Dup_Val_On_Index Then
    Update Table Name Set
    Column_Name = Value;
    When Others Then
    Sqlerrm;
    End;
    </code>
    Lets assume, if I change the order of statements as below:
    <code>
    Begin
    Update Table Name Set
    Column_Name = Value;
    If Sql%NotFound Then
    Begin
    Insert Into Table Name(...)
    Values(...);
    End;
    Exception
    When Others Then
    Sqlerrm;
    End;
    </code>
    So does this change make any difference in net results?

    Yes...till before today morning, it had no difference to me too, but today I was facing an insertion problem in a procedure in which insert statement had to go into when_dup_val exception part after first record and execute update statement. But surprisingly, it was going into when_dup_val only for 2nd record, i.e. 1st record was inserted as new record, then 2nd record had same primary key values, so when_dup_val caused to execute update statement, and lastly for 3rd record, having same primary key values, instead of executing update statement, insertion was going into when_others exception part and raising error ORA-01008.
    After very detailed hit n trial, I just reversed the operations, took udpate statement before insert in my code and then all the things got right. Procedure is executing finely.
    Although I've resolved the issue but I couldn't digest this change, thats why asking you peeps the operations behind.

  • Has anyone gotten an unknown error with the code "-1" when updating their iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3?

    I have received the same error while updating me phone for the last two updates and have had to wipe out my entire phone with a restore both times! I am very frustrated with Apple.

    Error 1 or -1

  • Updating Evernote password for Blackberry Remember.

    Evernote recently required a change of user passwords for some of its accounts.  I can't see how I can update this password in BB Remember so that it can continue to sync.  It has currently stopped syncing my Evernote account with my BB.

    Hey gvenne,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    To update your password for evernote, go to Settings>Accounts and click on the evernote and put in your new password.  
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played"

    What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played" for about 1 in 20 songs. This is really screwing up my lists that I use as backgrounds for a lot of activities in my classroom at school.

    FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
    Cheers,
