Security Update 2004-10-27

[ASP272]

Why all the fuss about this update? Just install it and be done with it! I install everything that comes through software update, whether I need it or not, and have not had a single issue with my OS. Maybe I am blessed, but I doubt it.

Quicktime and iTunes I had to do manually. Seems the iTunes update was directly applicable to Euro iTunes, as for the Quicktime update was not available for my machine. Wasn't clear why it wasn't available.

All updates done and things are snappy and on point....

Both Quicktime and iTunes updates were in my software update pane yesterday. I checked around 6pm or so and they were all there. However, they weren't there at lunch time yesterday. I decided to wait until they were there rather than download and install manually. Just a hassel

I lost Airtunes

I downloaded iTunes 4.7 yesterday and it lost Airtunes, I had to install Quicktime ( and maybe the SU) before I installed iTunes again today to recover Airtunes.

A 432k update made the Finder snappier? Are you sure y'all aren't just grasping at straws while we all wait for Tiger?

Haha, no i was just joking, I have noticed no difference in anything since the install on a 1.25 ghz eMac

hmmmm, I installed the update cuz i read it would make my computer faster, but I don't see much of a difference. Maybe my mac was already fast to begin with.

Well, it's installed and all is good. No problems.

are you serious about the speed stuff?? or just kidding???

I think he was joking people and merely joining in with the banter of previous posters. Sarcasm seems to travel better across British internet waves!

[macridah]

Not much improvement for me, but i downloaded and installed the update and everything works fine. knock on wood.

yesterday afternoon, i had both quicktime and itunes in my swupdate. for whatever that's worth . . .

Does it transfer to your iPod automatically?

No problems here, no noticeable change to my Pod. I guess there will fewer updates leading up to Tiger? Maybe just security updates until then I guess.

You imply that you don't want every single mac user to update you on their persoanl status after an update?

You don't want a bunch of posts that say "works for me" or "no problems so far"

How will everyone increase the number of posts associated with their macrumors account?

Say it aint so...Joe
