Anyone here brave enough to run the server update yet?
*shudder* I remember being on the phone with Apple support with the 10.4.3 update after it hosed our Open Directory! It took us a loooong time to clean up after that one
of course no, there were no known issues with Kerberos and Open Directory replication according to Apple. Strange that 10.4.5 and 10.4.6 both list fixes for this
108 10.4.6 MB update went smoothly on my MacBook Pro and so far so good. Now if they could just get ARD Admin to work on a macintel!

Big update for a big day! I'll bet anything something that gets released tomorrow will require 10.4.6.pavetheforest said:oh, tomorrow will bring GREAT news....

It was a tip-off from someone else on another thread a few days back. Seems to be famous in these parts. I thought it said quite a lot about how we all respond to innovation!technicolor said:

"This one"? I'm still running 10.4.3 due to the Firewire issues(*) that Apple don't seem to even acknowledge exists despite it being all over their own forums.
(*) My OS is on an external firewire drive. Running any update more recent than 10.4.3 gives me a kernel panic on reboot.
My eMac crapped out with the same problem Mike(random numbers) got earlier.
However, all my apps stopped working and the update wouldn't redownload.
So I had to archive install and I have finally updated to 10.4.6 by the standalone updater.
No Problems this time, although everything seems to be as it was in 10.4.5.
And thank god for Archive installs!

Based on those dates (I didn't check your facts), I plotted the days from release to each update. Tiger updates took longer to appear (that's either good or bad, depending on your point of view), but then Tiger started getting them more frequently. By update #5, the number of days since Tiger's release was only one day off from the time between Panther's release and it's 5th update! And Tiger was ahead for update #6.WildCowboy said:
If somebody wants to look up the dates for the previous Mac OS X versions, I'll add those to the chart tomorrow.

My experience with the Mac OS X updates and Java updates was to quit everything when it's ready to install things. I leave things going during the download, though, to keep downtime shorter.
Hopefully, this is another good update. I have resisted a quick update--especially since the server seems to be preventing a quick update.

Why isn't your operating system located on the internal drive? Keeping data on an external drive makes a lot more sense than putting the operating system there.

I hope 10.4.6 fixes some of the (very minor) sleep issues I've had with my 17" iMac Core Duo, as in something's keeps it awake about 50% of the time even when nothing is actively running...
B
Jeebus...163MB for the update on my iMac DuoCore! This thing better be able to launch the freakin space shuttle after an update like this
Grrrrrrr, just updated, and now all my menu bar items refuse to be where they are supposed to be. Now i have no clock, Airport Status, Bluetoth Status, Fast User Switching, nothing!
PPC Mac mini, 10.4.5 -> 10.4.6, 1GB RAM, 1.42 GHz
I'll try running the combo update. Here's to hoping...

Wow hey look, updated and no problems, as always. Been that way since 10.2.x for me...
...honestly, for those of you who get "errors" and all this junk about your Mac not starting up etc., what the heck do you run!? Leave the UI modifiers for the trash...

eddyg said:On a PowerBook G4 I was applying the update - and it failed. It said that
it had moved the package to the trash and that I should rerun it.
I tried rerunning it - no good - nothing would start on the Mac.
I had a terminal open - CPU was at 100% - tried top, no commands
would work, some sort of exception in every case.
Had to reboot - nothing else I could do.. and has been stuck on the
spinning beachball for 10mins..
This does not sound good
Maybe I should have shut down my apps when running the installer - never bothered in the past, Apple has been real good about doing it for you if it needs to.
Cheers, Ed.
I had exactly the same thing on my revB 12"PB. After the error message nothing would launch, and no external volumes would mount (I was desperately trying to dump a last backup just in case). Sat on spinning apple logo for ever seemingly, so gave up and did an archive install. Now up and running, all seems fine (but likely to be lots of niggles in coming days), and getting the combo updater as we speak to bring me back up from 10.4.0
the update broken MS Office 2004 on my PowerBook. I tried restart once, and then installed update 11.2.3 for Office. It back to normal now
"Addresses USB audio issues for PowerPC Macs; for example, latency is improved."
Nice, not that I experience any latency as it is, but now it should be super fast.
W00t.

Ouch.
Mmm. Thanks for those who said it went well but after a few of these I wonder if I should wait.

I used to think that way... but then one of the 10.3.x updaters (I believe it was the first time they used the delta updater) hosed some files on my daughter's iBook - and I knew she wasn't running any haxies or other odd stuff. The updater didn't cause problems on my Powerbook though; just the iBook. After poking around, I found the updater had overwritten a few necessary files with zero-length newer versions.
I copied the ones that had been correctly updated on my Powerbook over to her iBook, and all was well - but most people wouldn't want to try that sort of thing.So feel free to blame the user whenever someone reports a problem; but there are times when you'll be wrong.
