No problems here
I upgraded the following 9 Macs to 10.3.6:
Powerbooks G3 (Pismo), TiBook G4 667, AlBook 12" G4 1.33
Cube G4 (two), iMac G5, PowerMac G4 (one Digital Audio, two Dual Mirror)
None of these showed any problems afterward. Slower Macs (Pismo, Cube, TiBook 667) seem now much faster. Two Macs (TiBoook, G4 Digital Audio) presented a black screen after I had been away during the update. Seems that they went to sleep and could only be woken by a restart, but function is normal.
IMHO the reported problems are due to corrupted systems. Seems that a 10.3.6 Installation CD might be required for a clean install of these Macs...

Wow.
This is the first time I've ever participated in a widely reported bug from an OS update.
Wow.
I, also, have an MDD PowerMac (867 DP) and I, too, have experienced the maximum volume automatically boosted by quite a bit. I'm now at 75% because it sounds quite distorted at that level.
But Safari seems a little better.

Since updating my Rev. A 12" PB, none of my network logons work at all. All I get is a message stating the username and logon are incorrect. I don't even get a chance to change them!
This is bad as I network to my PC for work. No work until this gets fixed.

Maybe because they think that one button is all that anyone can understand?

Disclaimer: I haven't read the previous 11 pages of posts. No time.
But, today was the first day after this update that I tried opening my powerbook after it was previously operating with closed lid, connected to an external LCD.
The black screen on wake problem is NOT fixed.
I'm pretty pissed. Every time I cart my PB to work from home and open it, I have to close it again then open it a second time before the screen actually comes on. What a crock.

Try disconnecting any USB and FireWire stuff you may have connected to the PB while connected to the display before you put it to sleep. I used to have the sample problem until I started disconnecting all USB stuff and then putting the PB to sleep.
Well considering it is operating at home with lid closed, there's no way I can detach the keyboard/mouse before I put it to sleep.stefman said:
Moving PowerBooks when thay are on
I didn't think that you were supposed to move the PB around when it is on, even if the lid is closed, i.e its sleeping. I thought it could damage to hard drive.
Does that mean I can leave it on when i take it to uni?

Updatered my 2002 QuickSilver G4-733 with OS 10.3.6 Combo:
Sound went to zero.
... I guess that I had better take the computer out to the woods and shoot it with a powerful shotgun.
OR, I could simply turn the volume up to where it used to be.
Other than that, no problems. Safari is being cool. Networking is as it was before the updater.
Overall the G4 seems quicker than before the updater.

Dude, where's my mac?
Updated to 10.3.6. Worked fine for a few minutes. Tried to launch FCP. Crashed. Rebooted. Then Nothing. A continous cycle of gray screen, blue screen, desktop picture. Endless. Booted from cd. Repaired permissions. Nothing again. The cycling continues. Freaking out now.
Is there a way to revert to 10.3.5? Help!

Have you gone in and reconfigured the mouse software that came with the mouse? I have full functionality of my logitech MX 500...all six buttons and scroll wheel.
I report no problems so far with 10.3.6 but I don't hack anythine and don't install anything but the most basic programs and updates, etc.
The only reason to download the update and keep the package is if you think you're going to need it the next time you reinstall Mac OS X. If you have never done that before, why bother keeping it? Just toss it. You can always download it again - Software Update will fetch the correct updates for your machine anyway.geeman said:
No problems here at all. Updated my rev. B 12'' Powerbook from 10.3.5 to 10.3.6. Rebooted and everyhing is as it was before. Quite honestly I don't even know what the problems with 10.3.5 were so I can't speak as to whether or not they were fixed in 10.3.6. Everything just works.
Sounds like those of you having problems may have corrupted files some place or some other problem.

No problems before and no problems now on my MDD or ibook 800 G3. Hopefully there will be no problems with a firewire drive or the 9600 pro video card I am installing in the MDD today!
I don't use the logitech mouseware driver.. it is complete junk. Logitech has not put any effort in the Mac versions whatsoever - comparing against the windows Version.
Apple seems to have changed the mouse bindings :-(
I don't care if all the mouse buttons don't work - i just want the rocker buttons and "Application switch" button to work again!

I *never* turn my PB off (1.33GHz-12"). I lug it between work, home, and school with no problems. I was under the impression that sleep mode parks the HD read/write heads, and it is no more dangerous to move it like that than when it's turned off.
