It will work, you have to be patient. There's is a big thread on the Apple discussions forums about it. It varies on system to system, but mine took like 20 - 25 minutes to complete.
Disk Utility works totally different compared to Tiger, it wont complete in a matter of 2 - 4 minutes like Tiger.
It will appear that its hung, but its not, you just have to be patient and wait it out.
Hmm, I've never had the Apple Hardware Test correctly identify bad memory for me. Either they finally improved it or you got lucky.
Any time I've had bad memory, the AHT passed it with flying colors. It wasn't until I ran memtest that I found that the memory was indeed the source of my problems. So, in case anyone wants to try this suggestion (always a very good one), I'd check out the Testing RAM Guide.Closest Apple Store to me is about 1900 kilometers from me.... Well, the store in Germany might be a bit closer.
If an update is 3-400 Mb in size... what does that equate to once it is installed? I would assume the info is compressed in some manner and the installation sape required would be larger than the download size.... am I correct? I could see by the time we to the end of an version (ie Tiger...or Leopard) we could have well over 2 GB of updates on our system?
I would imagine so. Too bad for those with small hard drives. Not a problem for me.
Updates like these primarily replace and/or patch files already on your system. It wont have much impact on the overall size of the operating system as installed on your system.
Hi, I'm new to macs and just wondering does the update need to be downloaded all at once or can it be paused / computer shut down / etc?
Also, the plist files mentioned a while ago, adding the Kind filter with is Other "XML Property List" will also work (specifically for plist files, i.e. no need to use "plist" in your search), and you can get an idea about what you entered for a saved search by right-clicking it and opening it with text edit. Near the bottom of the file is a fairly human-readable form of what you entered.

If the size of the update is an issue (which I expect it will be for quite a few users), you can download it at:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way you can use the features of your browser (such as Safari) to allow you to continue the download when you are next online.
Obviously you can't download it until they release it though.
exactly-it will wipe older versions and replace with new-which may be a tad larger-so you might actually be adding a total of only-say 25 new MBs to your HD
ok that sounds good. But it's a shame the updater can't do it. thanks for the link
closest Apple store for me is in Japan. well we do have resellers and im imagining they would be have nowhere near the experience and service of an Apple store. i mainly buy online.
Haha, I read your post but I initially did not scroll down far enough to see the </sarcasm> and I was like... *gasp* I see red flames in my eyes.
Apple Store and Erie PA
We don't have an Apple store here in Erie PA. The nearest Apple store is Pittsburgh (2 1/2 hours away), Buffalo (2 hours away) and, Cleveland (1 1/2 hours away).
So there's no going to the Apple Store here. It's not worth the drive...
Funny thing though, we used to have a Gateway store way back in the days. LOL

Has anyone thought that this release may include hardware support for the new MBP, and will be released along side it on Tuesday?
As I'm waiting for one, I like this thought...

This update can't come soon enough. Leopard is making my iMac progressively slower by the minute.

doh!
No my system doesn't work, 'it just works' is the tagline for mac os x at the moment, and me repeating it is what I would like to think of as a joke.
I guess one of these days I will learn that sarcasm doesn't translate well into writing!
p.s. Did you know my dog has no nose?

Does anyone know if this update will fix wireless dropping issues. I am experiencing these issues on my MBP and I didn't feel like going through these 13 pages to see if this was answered.
I'm guessing, like a dog?
....
And with that, this thread is officially done.
