Updating eMac from 10.4.0 to 10.4.10: any known problems

We bought my wife a late-generation eMac from the Apple refurb site about 18 months ago. that came with Tiger 10.4.0. Because it's been so stable (we can't remember a single failure) and my wife is nearly always using her computer, I never applied the OS updates.
Now she's traveling for two weeks and I'm retired, so I'm considering taking her Tiger installation to the top (we'll wait to see if Leopard in in the budget)
I know with some older version of OSX, there was a order issue with SW Updates. Example: some Beige G3s had problems if the 10.2.8 Combo Update was run on a system with the base install (10.2.3). They needed "stepping in" (base > 10.2.4 > 10.2.6 Combo > 10.2.8 Combo) to work properly.
I know to run Repair permissions before and after any SW update. Any known problems with taking a late eMac all the way with the 10.4.10 Combo updater? I'd hate from her to home home to a problematic computer!
As the computer in my equipment line below is not hers, here are the particulars for her computer:
eMac ATI graphics 1.42G—512MB RAM—80G HD—combo drive—10.4.zero
Thanks in advance,
Allan

I recently updated my eMac from Panther (10.3.x) to Tiger and let it go ahead and update by downloading the 10.4.10 patch from Apple. It has been some weeks now and so far no issues to report. So it seems ok. And my eMac is a version before yours.

    What is the exact problem or error message?
    If you're having issues connecting to the app store, is this the only connection issue? Can you connect to itunes store?
    Cannot connect to iTunes Store

    Try rebooting your ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    Go to settings/itunes and app stores, tap on apple id and sign out. Reboot the ipad and the sign back in the same way.

  • Troulbe updating Emac from 10.4.3 to 10 .4.4

    I recently bought a new printer and it requires OSX 10.4.8 to run. I have an Emac with 10.4.3.
    I down loaded the 10.4.3 to 10 .4.4 up date. When I try to load it it a message that it can not be loaded on this computer appers. I check the OS specs and I needed to make more HD space available for it . I did, the computer now has 7 gigs open. I tried to redue the update but still no luck. I'm not sure what the other requierments would be? can some one help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Any known problems with iPod Updater 2006-06-28?

    I was wondering if anyone's had any issues with their iPods since updating with the iPod Updater 2006-06-28.
    Thanks!

    I was a fool. I refrained from updating because I knew better than to try to fix something that isn't broken, but I was hungover and upset about the fact that whenever the headphones cord wiggles my ipod pauses. I was convinced for the split second in between two throbbing beats in my head that perhaps the new update would give me an option of shutting that aspect of the ipod off. Woe is me.
    Now 10 gb of my music is unavailable. The ipod just skips over it. It didn't delete the files, they're all still there, I just can't play them; not on the ipod nor on the computer (not original computer for ipod). In Itunes an exclamation point shows up in the first column whenever I try to play certain songs, but there is no information about what is wrong. If I go to info on these songs there is no entry for Profile: Channel: or Encoded With:, unlike the rest of my songs that still work.
    Any hope of recovery?

  • Any known problems w Win7 updates in either Bootcamp or Parallels?

    I have been running Win7 I think 32 bit in Bootcamp & w Bootcamp set up as a vm in Parallels 5 on my April 2010 MacBookPro w Snow Leopard latest update.
    I have decided to update to Mountain Lion which meant I needed to either upgrade Parallels or just go to using Bootcamp which is a pain w having to re-boot.
    Got an offer for a Parallels upgrade from ver 5 to ver 8 so decided to take it. I also have downloaded Mountain Lion.
    I have not been using Windows very much in the last year + so had not thought to run Windows updates although I did keep the Security Essentials updated.
    But I figured that before doing the upgrades that I should have my existing setup updated. So I ran Windows updates & saw some going back as far as Dec 2011. After restarting a few times & closed it & was on the Mac side & tried to start Parallels Parallels opened but when I selected my Bootcamp vm, I got an error message saying the version of Windows is not supported by Bootcamp. Huh? I just ran the updates which should not have changed the version. I think I had also updated Bootcamp which I had avoided doing since I had read of some problems w that & Parallels & I had had major problems in early 2011 that we never did figure out, but Genius bar ended up replacing logic board, HD & bracket &told me to only gradually install what had been on there besides Apple software.
    So I went ahead & shut down & tried to start up in Bootcamp. About half the time since it gives me a message that it couldn't start normally & asks if I want to fix it. I've been saying no. 1 time it got stuck tryig to fix it so I finally had to power down.
    Parallels suggested doing a clean install when I asked about it. I did not feel comfortable adding new updates to software that is not stable.
    I am also I think going to get rid of the Bootcamp partition (which I had wanted to make the windows part smaller rather than 50 50.)
    But I'm concerned now about when I do reinstall Windows7 (which I'll likely have to call Microsoft about since they may think it is a not allowed additional installation. Not sure whether I've gotten my 2 installations since the last time or not.) Whether I will get the same problem if I do run the updates? But I know they have a lot of security updates that are supposed to be installed, but something messed up my system & I don't want to have that again.
    On another but related note, since I will be doing some major changes I'm backing everything up. But I never have got the hang on the file structure in Win7. So I ran Windows backup using the default which shows that it backedup files in libraries & personal folders for all users. Would that include my Outlook data & emails? Most of that has already been gotten over to the mac side--although they did me a disservice I guess it was when I was switching from Win mobile phone which I synced to Outlook to my iPhone 4S. Apple store didn't pay attention that I was switching from a PDA phone & I should have 1st synced my iPhone to Outlook & then synced it to my Mac applications. Instead they just transferred the phone info like Verizon would do which is really lame for someone already using a smart phone. I lost my contact pictures & other info  got messed up.

    ran windows7 ultimate 64bit under lion bootcamp without problems at all
    updated to mtn lion
    and ran windows8 pro in VirtualBox which is a free alternativ to parallels without problems at all
    updated the windows 7 to windows 8 in bootcamp
    because it's still using the win7 drivers sometimes it fail to boot and reboots but it always get up the 2ed time
    and once inside win8 it have yet to crash
    and yes windows update should include all application data which include outlook stuff and windows live mail stuff too if you use that

  • Any known problems with the 1.2.3 update??

    My iPod is behaving just fine thank you so I'm always a bit leery to install any updates since I really got burned the absolute FIRST time that I tried to install an update less than a week after acquiring my video iPod.
    I've been told by others here to be suspicious of any update that ends in an odd number. Any truth to this?
    Current iPod software version 1.2.2

    I've recently acquired an iPod 30gig w/video and updated it to the 1.2.3 firmware update. It plays but without sound. I've recently learned how to rollback the update, and all said and done, it's without success. I have browsed almost all major sections in this fine forum trying certain techiques, and even got a hold of support and yet without avail. Funny thing is is that I sent it off prior to this while it was on warranty, and they replaced it with this. I am new to iPod, and am wondering if it is something stupidly simple.
    Is there anything that I may have missed in the setup process?? Almost forgot, it worked once, but when I tried putting more on it , well... it didn't work. I am not new to MP3 players, though, but iPod seems to be a bit touchy. Anyways, I'd appreciate it if anybody here has some kind of suggestions. I thank you all in advance. God bless, Scott

    Highest an eMac can go is 10.5.8...

        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Trouble is appl no longer sells it, you have to search eBay & such for the full retail version, not any grey Install Disc.
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

  • TA48312 How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?

    How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?
    I have osx 10.3.x and i want to update to the highest possible. Please help!!!!! i cant find the download. And i dont want to lose any data!!

    Depending upon the specific model you have you can upgrade to either 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Neither are available from Apple any longer, so you will need to look to eBay or Amazon for copies. Be sure to only purchase retail copies and not gray labled machine-specific copies.
    If your eMac came with 10.3 originally and has a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, then you can install Leopard, 10.5.x.
    If you don't want to lose data then make backups.
