After speaking with Apple Support (great people, btw), apparently for any update that gets interrupted, you can do a ‘Safe Boot’ and get the update to install again by doing the following:

1) Shut down the machine.
2) Press the Power button and start holding the shift key.
3) When you get the login screen, reboot the machine again.
4) Updates should now be applied which were interrupted.

Thanks Apple Support!

DISASTER! I elected to install the update last night. After the obligatory dialog asking me to restart, the computer hung. For a long time. Thinking it was safer to let it go, I left it run. When my computer finally rebooted, I was presented with a login window. Logging in, I was presented with the registration wizard as if I had a fresh install. No matter how many times I fill out the forms, I cannot successfully log in.

Booting from my Leopard install DVD, I can see my files are still there, so I’m copying them to an external drive and going to do a clean install.

For the record, I do have backups, so I’m not worried about losing data. Worst update ever, IMHO.

@Bruno

It is easily fixed with a couple of reboots. I did some digging online and it looks like it is not a error that is coursed by this update but and “old” Mac OS 10.5 error :oS – I rebooted once and then the problem where gone

I have the same problem with the caps lock and numlock leds (they are on when the lock is DEACTIVATED)

Unfortunately it didn’t fix the wireless problem where the connection suddenly drops when running a MBP off battery. Botheration.

@Steve, I didn’t know the G4 machines supported transparency, I know my G4 mini doesn’t. Anyway, isn’t it something to do with QE, rather than the CPU you’re using?

Some MacFUSE-related software is not looking so good after 10.5.2 update. Intermittent success getting stuff to show in /Volumes and ExpanDrive just seems to churn with no positive outcome.

On my iBook G4, I don’t have the option to turn the transparency off, only on my iMac. Is this an intel specific feature? Anyone else with Power PC notice this?
