my iMac 20 (intel) is slower at startup. For the first time I've seen the beachball spinning between the blue screen and the moment I can effectively click on anything in the finder. This happens after 2/3 reboots too.Multimedia said:I'd like to report placebo effect making me think it's faster or is it in fact really faster? My mail seems to launch much faster. Everything seems much snappier. Looking forward to seeing if Safari still crawles to a snails pace as soon as I have 20 sites loaded into multiple Tabs and Pages.
How often do you restart your computer? If you have gone a long time without a restart then it will be "snappier" just because you restarted it. Guess it has to do with the RAM.
Spotlight broken
I have an Intel Imac. I applied the 10.4.7 update and rebooted. Long reboot time. Once it got back up, tried spotlight and it seemed to work fine on the old index. I decided to rebuild the index (worked fine in 104.6 so I figured it would be fine to do this). I did this by adding the MAC HD to the privacy area in the Spotlight Pref, and then removing it. I see the import process running. But it does not run long, and when I use Spotlight, barely anything is indexed, like no folder names, and no emails are indexed. (let it run over 8 hours so I did wait long enough). I even try updating index from command line and same thing.
Has anyone with an Intel MAC (I have the Imac) and the 10.4.7 update tried to rebuild their Spotlight index? (anyone brave to try)? Curious if anyone else is having this problem. This is the FIRST real problem I have had with any Apple update. Sad to see. Looks like I won't be using Spotlight anymore.

Still no love for mounting Windows AFP shares
Just updated my 1.67 17" powerbook at work. No problems with the update. I ran Cocktail before and after. I still cannot mount the AFP shares here at work. I could with 10.4.5 but .6 killed it and .7 did not help it. The IT guy can mount them with his administer log in though.

macbook
wow, if you have a white macbook, 2gz, dont use this update. my computer is just "cutting off" on its own... i dont have anything for start up items, or nothing. if i leave my computer on for like 5 minutes, it just cuts off. same happens if i boot windows, it'll just cut off. never seen an apple update this bad. i hope they fix this asap.. i gotta downgrade now. the good thing i see was the computer doesnt seem no where near as hot, which doesnt matter because i cant use my computer long lol.

Am I seeing things, or did my Bluetooth icon in the top menu bar move to the other side of my user name?
ive got a white macbook 2ghz, and first thing i noticed,
DASHBOARD didnt start anymore! all my prefs were gone, and i had to copy the dashboard files from my user account onto my desktop, then restart and then macosx builds them again for you.
so strange it works now, but you can imagine that loosing your whole dashboard widgetplacement and not able to boot it al all wasnt a nice 'upgrade'
little offtopic: And ive got a windows smartphone, but still says cant connect or you device isnt suitable for this etc.etc.
I got a spv c550 /qtek 8200/SDA music with windows 2003
still cant find a decent program to run my smartphone..

That happens sometimes with updates...just command-drag it back to where you want it.

Oddly, my BT icon always dissapears every time I update the OS? The checkbox is still on in System Pref's but I have to toggle it on and off to get it back.
No harm probably. Just curious.

The best way to rebuild the index is to do:
sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/[Name of Volume]
in the Terminal. I don't know about the method you mention. Rebuilding the index is not recommended because Spotlight really 'learns' over time. It imporoves the index as you open files, for example. When you erase the index you basically destroy information that has been built over time and it may take a long time to get to where it was. Why did you 'rebuild' the index for?

i repaired permissions and apparentely had some disk errors so i booted to my friends macbook through target disk mode and repaired it and now my sleep light is back to its tolerable self again.
