Ditto, on a 20" Intel iMac running 10.4.7. Reboot slightly longer than usual, no big deal.

You'll see the stress and maintenance issues sooner at 110, but you'll see them eventually at 90. If you never take the long trip, then it will fail after many short trips to the grocery store.

I don't know whether disk repair FUBAR'd your disk or not, maybe it did, but don't go on thinking that ignoring little bits of disk damage is fine as long as you don't push it real hard... The longer your disk is at risk, the more data it collects and the more you loose when the whole house of cards collapses because of a mechanical or logical failure.

My question is what is the point of disk repair. Has it ever done anything useful for anyone? As I said before the only times I've had problems with either mine or my moms mac is when I used that stuff. Also, I'm not saying it didn't have some problem - but it would have been nice to still have the data recoverable from a professional Apple Certified data rescue service...
 
After the update my bluetooth icon has moved place to be after my username for some odd reason. Anyone else get that?

Edit: Turned off the option for 'Show bluetooth status in the menu bar' and back on again and it appears in the right place now. Strange that - it has never swapped places before when i've rebooted. A well, no biggie.

My dock is now VERY slow in responding...

Since i updated, my dock now is VERY slow in responding. Any thoughts? I'll scroll the mouse down to the dock, and sometimes it comes up, other times it doesn't. Then, if it does come up, it may or may not move left to right...

Weird...

Here's a silly trick I just found out. You can rearrange those icons on the top menu bar by Command+Clicking and dragging... It used to really frustrate me!

I'd forgotten about that one! Thanks for reminding me :)
 
Super fast reboot on MacBook see sig.....No problems thus far bring on 10.4.8!!!

In the security prefs "Disable automatic login" is now selected after update install - seems the same for the 4 Macs I have run the update on!
Anyone else?
 
Downloaded the security update this afternoon. After shuting down and restarting later in the evening, I now can not connect to the internet. I can't seem to get an ip address from my ISP over my airport. Anyone have this problem and can you suggest a fix.

The airport is still working fine with my windoze working right now on the internet. This has left my iBook helpless since mail, safari, ichat can't connect.

Using 10.3.9 Thanks.

At least I did learn that the MacBook does not contain an Intel version of wget. :(

Didn't have to fink hard about the solution to this one :)

Also, is it just me, or are the security updates getting scarier? I don't mean the frequency, but for simple things like buffer overflows, keys that are world-readable, etc. How was this stuff missed before release?

Just installed this last night on my G4 Powerbook, and I've been having trouble keeping Xcode running this morning. Anyone else notice this?

Your comment is a red flag for me. I don't want to install the update and take the chance of messing up my XCode.
 
Can't verify yet, but iTunes will not launch after reboot. I get an empty blank error window with a flashing OK button. After pressing OK, iTunes quits.

wget is not preinstalled with OS X on either platform, Apple seem to prefer curl.

Really? Oh, wow, okay. On my PPC iMac it was already there, so I'd assumed that it was pre-packaged. I must have downloaded it myself at some point in time, as it's what I'm used to.

Anyroad, yeah, the fink link certainly is nice. The point is, at that point in time (in the command-limited Terminal from the Installer DVD) I tried what I always relied upon. Could have curl'd wget to wget the security update, I suppose. :D

I'm having a similar problem. I just got Verizon Fios installed today. After the update, my G5 iMac (10.4.7) cannot connect to my network. I can though connect to a neighbor's unsecured network.

My other two Mac's can connect to my Fios network. Any ideas?
 
So this updates SSH?

Maybe it will reenable chroot jails / scponly which have been broken for the last few versions of 10.4.x

I can only hope....

Apple please smile on these of us who are trying to run small servers and can't splash out on OSX Server.

I'm having the same problems. Using 10.3.9 G5 iMac.

When I open Internet Connect I get the rotating ball for forever until I Force Quit. The Airport says it's connected to the internet. I say I'm connected to the Airport, but it can't retrieve an ip address.

help?

i did the update and now my MacBook boots up noticebly slower. anyone else notice this?
Click to expand...

My MBP ran noticeably slower. I narrowed it down to "Witch" (a 3rd party app) and "APE" (Application Enhancer). Unfortunately, I removed both and then rebooted, so I'm not entirely sure which one was the culprit.

Anyway, working fine now.
