Apple Pulls 10.2.8 Software Updater

It works fine on my Dual 1 Gig- haven't tried it on the powerbook, or 400 g4, or G5.


That's me with my new G5.
 
News about this update is one of the reasons MacRumors is so valuable.

When the problems are fixed, I hope Apple will publicly explain the problem. If not, I expect to read it here instead.

Perhaps (although I doubt it) for 10.2.8a or 10.2.8.1 or 10.2.9 or whatever they call it, they will include the newest patch for Portable OpenSSH problems (as of today) plus fix the problems others have seen.

Actually I don't think those problems will affect OS X. The advisory says that versions of OpenSSH before 3.7 aren't vulnerable, and OS X is still on 3.4

According to arn's poll, about 2% are reporting serious problems with this update. Now, that's too many, but if you read these boards you'd have to guess it was more like 98%. And hey, it's not like we're talking WindowsME or anything...
 
Hmm...I was wondering why it wasn't showing up in my software update! :p :D

I just hope they get the problems fixed.
 
Installed it on a 800 MHz iMac and I have had iTunes crash once, System Preferences crash twice and Safari crash three times!
 
Installed 10.2.8 on my 12 Powerbook and have had no major problems. The only one was the in-accurate battery readings. But that was fixed by exhausting the battery till the Powerbook went to sleep. All seems well now that it's been fully charged and unplugged from the AC. I never did any customizations/hacks to my PB, so this might be the issue with all the folks reporting problems with the latest fix!

I see now that Apple just patched its old 3.4 with the patch instead of updating it with the OpenSSH current version. However the last problems were for 3.6 and 3.7, and that was where the problems were found. However, (from reading elsewhere) I am not sure that they checked that many versions back for these specific ones so it could impact the 3.4 versions too. Hopefully not...

Its funny because its true. :D

I updated my ibook 900 and haven't encountered any problems . . . yet. Ethernet, CD Eject, Safari all still work just fine although I haven't had a chance to try out the airport card.
 
ah aha ha ahhah ah hah


what a bunch of retards !!!!

I cannot believe this, this is mind boggling .

Of course I never updated.
 
Here's an idea. People need to stop installing all those poorly written haxies that tweak their os at it roots and they wouldn't have these problems.
 
No problems..

I have installed update last night via Update Control Panel.

Restarted fine, started up fine.. Able to use all my drives, AirPort card fine. No crashes or any thing.

The only thing that complained was Norton System Works 3.0.

From what I've been reading here and MacFixIt is that those that are having problems, are using 3 Party software like the Dock one. Which from what I read there is a updated version to work with Mac OS 10.2.8.

My System is Quicksilver 733 1Gig of Ram Just installed a Pioneer 105 DVD-RW drive.

I take it back, I have a major problem now. Can't launch an app now because of a "shared library error"

Crap.

I don't have to wipe the drive to revert to 10.2.6 do I?

I don't think so. I skipped the last 2 security updates and they disappeared from SU after I d/l'd 10.8.

Wow, and I thought that the people using 10.3 beta were at the bleeding edge. Where did you download the copy of 10.8 from? :p


On a more serious note, I wish Apple would have released the security updates separate from the OS update. I usually d/l the security updates in a heartbeat, but hold off on the OS updates for at least a couple of days.
 
Hey all,

Can we cut down on the smugness? It's pretty unhelpful to blame nonexistent 'hacks' for things like the Ethernet problem. Apple didn't pull this update because of third-party conflicts, they pulled it because it doesn't work with some configurations of vanilla systems.

true dat. i got haxies hanging out the back od my menubar and my computer is working like a charm, an absolute charm.
 
My software update could still get the update, but it must have found the file this morning while I was at work. I didn't start the update until 7:40 PM central time. It must still be out there!
 
I wonder if they will actually re-post this update... who'll be brave enough to try that? It's hard holding back... I no longer have the latest OS. I am behind the times. I feel like the IT dorks at work who still keep everyone on OS 8.1. Now after this farce, he'll never let us go to OS X.

if the schmuck is still caught in his OS 8 world, what makes you think he'll ever hear about a minor problem with an OS X software update in order to use it as justification for being an old school fool?
 
x.2.8

My machine boots noticably faster after the update. No bad things yet.

Other than asking me permission for the key chain for mail and safari everything seems OK. That probably normal eh?

I had to add burn support for my LG 4x DVD writer. Thats it.

I am a switcher so when I see the words security update, I patch like crazy. Maybe next I will wait a day or two.
