Don't seem to be too many problems... apart from the dude who's MacBook died

*crosses fingers*

One thing I noticed in the description page on the Apple site is this:

You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)

Guess that means folks who use Shapeshifter and the likes should be careful when updating.

Has anyone with Parallels installed tried the update? I'd hate to be the guinea pig.

Anyone know the URL for the PPC Combo Updater?

Parallels is fine!

I'd suggest the Parallels is an OS addition, not a modification. It does not modify system files in any way. Rather, it simply loads a kernel extension. Nothing to run for the hills over

My CPU whine got worse.

 

[Mr. DG]

do i need to install this? my intel mac mini is running fine. Still havent done the SMC firmware update 1.00 from a month or so ago. If it aint broke, don't fix it. Security updates i'm all for (though the sheer amount drove me away from windows), but i can't see anything on the apple list of updates that i need.

8 minutes

8 Minutes from start of download to posting this message. 2.5 G5 39MB update. Everything working fine.

 

[darwin022]

My update was 133MB. Downloaded in about 1 minute (on a nice 24Mbps connection, ~3.1MB/sec), 17" MBP

Initial impressions: I wish I hadn't. Machine froze on shutdown and I had to power it off. Machine took about 4x longer than normal to reboot and log in. Subsequent reboots were about normal speed again.

Computer is running rather slowly right now, I'm hoping that changes.

10.4.6 to 10.4.7 combo

Did anyone mention a double bong?

The spotlight icon in the menu bar doesn't work.
Bummer, man.

Edit: Nothing a little login and out didn't fix though.
It seems to logout in and out faster.

 

[benthewraith]

Oh brother. Does anyone know how to flash the update back to 10.4.6? Cuz the CPU whine got significantly worse (i had to bump QuietMBP from 150 to 100).

Works for me.

Archive and install.

10.4.6 was a double restart.

Taking dangerously long

Im posting on my moms macbook now, but my powerbook has been on the blue screen with the spinning circle (not beachball) for over a half hour. I dont think this is normal. How do I stop this???

Archive and install.

I don't plan on doing it, I just want to know how to do it.

Go here and do a search for "10.4.6" or scroll thorough the list and find it.

 

[reckless_0001]

They didn't fix this with 10.4.6 so I thought 10.4.7 for sure... but no.

The newer webkit won't let me use this form...

I have reported, it works in the nightly webkit and has for quite some time.. so... WTF?

Is that during the shutdown just after the update's installed and downloaded?

This has happened to me a couple of times over the years too. Usually I'm really not patient enough to wait even 10mins, let alone 1/2 hour! I'd just hold the power button down until it powers off, then start it back up. Don't get scared during the long pause at the grey Apple logo at startup... now that's a really bad time to force a power-off, because it's at that point that the new files are being installed.

(edit) standard disclaimer: just because I've got away with it doesn't mean you certainly will But after 1/2 an hour.... what else is there to do?!

Oooo. Not so good. I'm posting on a Dell (yeah, I know) bc my PB is just booting up. It's *just* gone past the blue screen. Phew!
