Dude, my partying days are behind me. I just can't take placebos anymore -- they get me too messed up.
Same here. Also my mountain bike goes much faster now.
Well, upgraded my 533 G4 digital audio from system 9 (not sure now, (7?) years later, which version!) through almost every update, apart from 10.0, as i went straight to 10.1. Never a glitch, so maybe the problems are not as widespread as this forum might make you think!
Well, yes Mac OS 8.6 is supported on PPC Macs, but Apple don't sell PPC Macs anymore so are they still supporting it? They are only supporting it by not getting rid of Classic.
Why on earth dose a .10 upgrade stop my usb hard drive form booting, im downloading the 10.4.9 combo upgrade hopefully that will allow me to down grade. i installed the 10.4.10 form software update then a reinstall form the 10.4.10 combo update still no usb drive.
The lesson is to ALWAYS physically disconnect ALL USB (and FireWire, ExpressCard and PCMCIA) devices before running Software Update, with the only exceptions being your keyboard and mouse.
i didnt unplug my dodgy DVico USB2 tv Tuna before the update, and it's still just as flaky. and its not very moist.. needs mayo... oh wait..
Had similar thing, though on the button 'international' when i updated into 10.4.8 a while ago... stayed there till 10.4.9 ... so who knows...
little bug somewhere
I know I'm slow but:

so helpful, well i can see the drive in system profiler just noware else. is there a way to mount form the termanal
Sorry, I know that what I said isn't helpful looking back, but it should prove helpful looking forward.
There's probably a way to mount via Terminal but I don't know what it is. Have you tried Disk Utility?
disk utility should show storage devices that are connected, even if the volumes aren't recognised.
This was my first "big" software update as a new "old" switcher... If I had to disconnet my USB/firewire devices, don't u think that Apple should have made it clear?
I had tons of problems...my mini did not want to re-start...
It took four tries and finally OSX loaded, but it took nearly 20 minutes... then, two re-starts later, the Mini finally starts, but my screen is weird and I cannot move any icons on the desktop.... Processor at 67° C. and fan whining at 4,000 rpm
New restart, another half an hour of waiting , and three repair permission later, the Mini seems to be working OK again... I went in panick mode because I am travelling and I have an ocean between myself and the restore disks... I never had any problems with software updates.... Not EVEN with Win ME
I've had at least two flash drives that have been hosed and I can only conclude it was due to pulling out without ejecting, (so to speak
). Wouldn't have minded so much, but the first one it happened to was fairly new and it wasn't me who did it. After that, neither Windows or Mac would recognise it. The second was also fairly new, but I bought a branded version this time and Sandisk replaced for me within a week. Always bought Sandisk since.IIRC, XP used to warn you when you hadn't ejected first, like OSX. Vista merely gives a little sound when pulled out. I guess Microsoft find people are annoyed when they are constantly warned like this, so removed it. Shame they didn't remove the other 3000+ warnings and minor annoyances at the same time, (such as installing an application, clicking on install and it asking you for permission, but not right in front of you, flashing on the task bar for you to click, click allow and continue).
I personally think it should be an option in System Preferences. Say Volumes tab and then one tick box within it could say "Warn me when I fail to eject a disk before disconnecting". Maybe even in the Finder Preferences window.
That would be very nice. That message always bugs me when I wake my computer from sleep and have the external disk connected. The disk goes to sleep when my computer does, but it doesn't wake up as quickly, so OS X thinks that I have unplugged it without unmounting it. That's true in a sense, but it doesn't do the disk any harm really.
No it shouldn't because you actually can get data corruption once it has finished copying on a Mac (I actually have), unlike Windows.
Also you can just reformat them when you have a problem

This is one of the reasons why it's good to check forums, Mac Users Groups and such.
YEs, u are right, and I usually do so for third party software, but I still think it's up to Apple to provide detailed istructions and perhaps a reminder to disconnect peripherals... I just sunk another grand and some for a MacBook Black last week and I should not have to "educate" myself for a software update
P.S. I checked this 3d last night before upgrading and there were only a few posts but no one had reported problems yet
