DEVMAN - you and me - we're in the same boat. i've started new threads specific to each issue, so as to help others who might not scour all the pages of this thread...
Powerbook Backlit Keyboard Issue - post 10.4.6
SonyEricsson k700i fails to work with iSync post 10.4.6
I figure having concise threads on each issue will focus answers and greatly aid all those who update in the coming week(s)

And oh yeah, Safari seems faster
read the release notes. That is noted and is intentional on PPC hardware.

I never had trouble at all. I installed from the 10.4.0 DVD, ran Software Update and that was it. I wonder if it has anything to do with the chipset on your external drive?
I own the LaCie d2 250GB, using the Firewire 400 interface (of course). The only complaint about it is the Maxtor drive inside is loud. I can't stand hearing the drive heads moving back and forth. As soon as I'm able - and after the warranty expires - I will attempt to replace the drive with a quieter, larger one in the same LaCie enclosure.
Functionally, the drive has worked perfectly.

You have a corrupt font.
Open 'Font Book'
Click on 'All Fonts' in the left column.
Command-A to select all the fonts in the middle column.
Now File->Validate Fonts
Delete the ones that are broken.
Better than the last
I am glad for this update because I was worried about how long we'd be stuck with 10.4.5 which was unexpectedly quitting applications on me. That is something I hate; losing everything instantly. This seems like a stable update, and yes the double reboot freaked me too. Snappier is the word I keep reading and it fits. I have 2 macs both of which were up to date but they had different size downloads, the mini had a Java and I thought that there could not possibly be another for it, I was wrong, it also had a smaller OS update the the ibook. For what it's worth I am happy with this installment, they are both working fine.

only until apple ships the powerbook g5.
Delta PowerPC BOM
Quite a few changes in the update that aren't noted in the release notes, I debated just posting an attachement without the previous security update information but decided to post the complete delta content for completeness
My only issue noted since the 10.4.6 update is I cannot close Mail.app preference window via cmd-w or red gel x. I'll try to isolate later and determine whether its a plugin bundle at fault or com.apple.mail.plist thats gone wonky. I do notice that my G4 FP-iMac is running very well so its a small compromise with Mail anyway...
EDIT: Fixed :: Mail.app now closes the preferences after an update to MailTags 1.2.1

Update: Single user mode doesn't work. I verified the disk and repaired permissions using disk utility from the Tiger install disk. Still having problems.
Help!
>>Why was this out today and not Tues etc...
-------
10.4.6 was actually supposed to be released last week as a requirement for running Aperture 1.1-but that is delayed for a week or two- so they may have tweaked it a little bit more and released it yesterday...

The roaring sound IS the sound of your fans running at full speed. This happened the very first time I started up my 2.1 Ghz iMac G5, and it happened again with this latest update.
Nothing to worry about!
Let the iMac G5 do it's thing. It will reboot once on it's own - let it finish. Also it will take a while for Spotlight to complete its indexing.
I did my upgrade to 10.4.6 last night and have not seen a single problem.
Anybody did the update on a MBP version W8610.
I`m asking because on my W8606 the update caused me problems. Extreme overheating and error during hardware test.
Just got it replaced with W8610 and just want to make sure it`s OK to update hopefully without problems.
Oh and bytheway my old and new MBP have the whining problem.

My iMac G5 runs A LOT quieter now in 10.4.6. I'm running the same applications I was running before the update and they'd normally cause a few flare ups of the fan. Now it's nothing but sweet near silence.
On my disasestered iBook, everything was quit, nothing else was running or anything, just software update. I was running 10.4.5 fully updated with no haxies or modifiers installed. I have never had a problem with any system upgrades on this machine. Free disc space was around 18GB.
10.4.6 still 0wn3d the iBook, and I had to reinstall Tiger from the DVD then update to 10.4.5.

Multimedia said:I wonder exactly HOW those disaster updates were executed. I've noticed some here think it's just fine to run an incremental updater while continuing to run a bunch of applications AT THE SAME TIME. I wonder if they had quit everything and run the Combo updater if then their update would have failed. I wonder how much free disk space they had on their system volume. I had totally smooth updates on both a Quad and an old 1.25 GHz PB G4 using the Combo from here.
While I am a little concerned, I am more inclined to attribute these disasters to operator error rather than to Apple. My Quad has never run better. I love this update.
Would all who had disacsters please answer the above questions. Thank you in advance. I hope no one is going to get mad at me for positing this theory.

That's an excellent representation Doc! Much easier to understand rather than just working out the dates. Goes to show there's quite a pattern with OS X updates.
10.4.6 issues
I have two Mac Minis.
1) G4 PowerPC 1.42 GHz (1 GB RAM). Had OS X 10.4.5.
2) Duo Core Intel 1.66 GHz (512 MB RAM). Had OS X 10.4.5.
Both systems worked basically flawlessly prior to upgrading to 10.4.6.
After upgrading, I expected it to be better if anything (as it usually is when doing a 10.4.x upgrade).
On my Intel machine I've seen two problems so far. 1) DVD Player: the menu navigation is extremely slow and it used to be nice and quick. DVDs still play fine once you get one going though. But the menus take like 20 seconds to change to another screen when you click things on them.
Have not tested that on the PowerPC Mac Mini yet since upgrading.
On the Intel machine, also noticed the mouse seems slower and a little non-responsive compared to how it was before.
Besides this most things seem to be OK. The DVD issue is really annoying though. Can some other Intel Mac Mini owners test it out and see how it is for them and let me know please?
Had Finder non responsive on the PowerPC once after the update but seems OK now.
