The problems only went away after upgrading to snow leopard.

After I updated, my battery went dead as well. I can’t believe I have to wait again. Off to the apple store.

Has anyone been left with the apple screen, no spinning wheel, just the apple icon in the centre of the screen after upgrading?

Have no idea what to do now!

Only issues for G4 PPC 1.5, LOST SOUND OUTPUT ability; it only plays on internal speakers, and one USB will not recognize mouse, while the other does! The SOUND thing blows since I have it run over my home’s embedded speakers and lost that joy… Patch me up!

Looks like the update changed httpd to 64 bit?

After digging around some, finally I ran this command: sudo arch -i386 -ppc /usr/sbin/httpd

It’s working now.

Ugh, it found a sure way to piss me off. I updated last night, and my localhost went down after I rebooted. I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I’ve rebooted my computer and restarted the webserver, all to no avail. I’ve pinged both “localhost” and “127.0.0.1″ and found no dropped packets. However, I cannot access either localhost or 127.0.0.1 from my browser.

I’m using an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X 10.5.7 and Firefox 3.0.10. I actually just reinstalled Safari to test it there, and it doesn’t work with Safari either.

If anyone has any ideas, please email me at renee (dot) c (dot) nguyen (at) gmail (dot) com.

For those of you managing Macs via OS X server, DO NOT UPDATE!

This update (yes, even the combo) breaks client management completely. Even to the point of not allowing users to log in. There’s a work-around, but it’s ghetto.

Here’s the report from my tech guy:

Can’t get the machine to start from anything.

1) Remove HD and connect to my workstation and it mounts fine. HD is probably good.

2) Try to Boot machine from Firmware Restoration 1.3 as per instructions with Restoration CD. No start, no video.

3) Disconnect optical drive and remove RAM, no better.

4) Reset SMC and attempt to reset PRAM. No success.

Appears logic board has died. Order replacement logic board.

Please let us know if you have got it to work yet.

If I keep advanced options open on System Preferences>>Network>>TCP/IP the IP address gets assigned then promptly disappear.

After I updated to 10.5.7 my power brick seemed not to work. Battery ran down and now Macbook is completely dead. I’ve already called for a new one to be sent, I just hope that’s the problem.

Is this what happened with you?

Hi,

updating went fine on iMac Alu 20″, iMac Alu 24″, MacBook Intel (White), MacBook unibody (2 of these actually), MacBook Pro 15″.

Except the iMac Alu 20″ all were installed with Software Update, I updated the 20″ with the Combo updater as downloading that went faster, not because of problems.

I have problems with my mbp losing it’s dhcp managed ip-address (both wired and wireless) … i upgraded my Linksys wrt54g2 router (since i thought that was somehow suddenly causing the problem, as a printer seemed to have an ip problem as well), reconfigured the router, but i keep having the problem, while another Mac on the LAN seems to connect without problems. That’s when i thought it might be related to me recentrly upgrading my macbook pro … Reading this post, i’ll try the combo-updater in a moment, but wonder whether that will help…

My iMac and MacBook both rolled through the update without a hitch. I have next to little 3rd Party software onboard.

And I have the habit of NOT letting Software Update do the job – I download the change directly from the Apple site.

I have completely lost my screen (I use mac mini at home with LCD TV as a media centre) and have no way to access the screen to try to fix it. Even starting in safe mode won’t allow me to get the screen back.

I can’t believe so many very different bugs were included in this release. there goes my weekend.

What kind of system did you install the update on? Did you just do a Software Update or download the combo update?

I also ran the system maintenance scripts before and after the update.

Try booting from the OS CD and run disk-utilities to see if it fixes the problem.

I second that. I downloaded the combo update and updated my Dual-125GHz G4 and Mail is actually a bit snappier than before. Haven’t had any audio issues either.
