iSync steps BEFORE you update to 10.4.6 - Lickableunix

I do respect your steam (the one star.)
Apple should do a better job of automating the pre-installation steps. There's simply too much information to find it all. They should at the very least provide the steps in some kind of message which could, for example, interrupt the user who attempts the update.

But, did you see the iSync notes from Apple? They're iSync steps to be taken before updating. See the Apple Computer document:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303411

A partial quote from the beginning of the document:

Important: Please read before installing [the 10.4.6 update.]

If you use iSync, you should perform a full sync with your devices before installing this update. Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update includes a later version of iSync with several improvements. For more information and before-you-install steps, see iSync 2.2: Read before updating to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later, or before first sync. [which is found at:]

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303419

With the Mac OS X 10.4.6 system software update, PowerPC-based Macs will restart twice, instead of once, after the initial installation.
You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you've modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.
If issues occur during installation--for example, Software Update quits unexpectedly, please see this article:
