My, how very proactive of you.
What do you want to bet there will still be 15 separate ones?
I know, isn't it.monkeydo_jb said:
Well, hopefully getting this in early there won't be, but who knows hey...
Well, my Unreal Tournament demo 2004 doesn't load any more. I wanted to try the updated graphics drivers to see if there was any difference in performance but it bounces, splash screen comes up for a few seconds, and then it quits without a message. I haven't played it for a little while, but it definitely worked in 10.3.5 and I don't think it's time-limited. This is on a 12" PowerBook.
Everything else seems fine though, and, yes, everything seems faster

Try the update to 10.3.6 again, or else you'll have to reinstall Panther and combo update to 10.3.6Chaszmyr said:
Ok I was download it to my PB while i was playing a game on my G5. Then I looked over at my PB and the screen was on but did nothing. I shut it down and booted back up. I can't open System prefs and none of my icons in my top bar are there. Please help

This happened on my Powermac after a security update once. Perform a cold shutdown on the system and reboot. It worked for me...
I installed it and now my quicksilver will not boot at all. It turns on but the screen stays blank. No nothing. I put in a back up HD and it booted fine. Now what the heck am I going to do?
Yer all crazy, mine installed fine.
usually the ones who have problems have some sort of system hack installed ~~

No problems here
I applied it to two PowerBook G4s, a Dual 2GHz PowerMac G5, and a 1 GHz PowerMac G4. On one of the PowerBooks and my G4 PowerMac I got a kernel panic towards the end. (The PowerBook was completed, and just waiting to reboot. The PowerMac was on a KVM switch, so I don't know when the kernel panic occurred) I reapplied the update to the PowerMac G4, and all seems to be well.
Regards,
Marc

Crazy?
Well, I was going crazy trying to find out why my mac would not start. I would hear the bong and then nothing. My studio display was black. Then I had an idea, I hit the volume key in the keyboard... what do you think I heard. Yep, my computer was running the monitor was not. I have a 9800 video card. So I put my old geforce card in and wammo it fired right up. The update fried my video card. I tried another hard drive I use as a back up and it has the older ver of panther on it 10.3.5. Still no go on the monitor. I put the old video card back in and it works. Some how it fried it.

rather than going throught the menu to shut down, press and hold the powerbutton until the computer shuts off, and then press it again to start back up obviously...

ive done it plenty of times on my pb with no problems, its not the best solution, but sometimes the only way to get a hanging computer to restart....
So, I've just downloaded 3.6 and now my .mac mail account is coming up with nothing. Go online, no worries - everything still there. but on my machine - nothing.
now, go to itunes - track numbers and all kinds of things giving really odd (and wrong) feedback
First time I've had this with an update, is this update just wrong or is something wierd going on?
Haven't ever installed any dodgy sh*t either!

Powerbook won't complete startup after 10.3.6
UPdating a 1.25ghz AiBook through the Update Software panel has left me with a machine that will not complete boot process. Stops part way through with a big black rectangle and lots of messages in foreign languages saying it needs to be restarted. This after many restarts that had no effect. Booted from a CD and ran Disk Utility to repair disk and repair permissions also had no effect. Tried running the combo updater, with same results.
Apple will be my first phone call tomorrow.
