Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Beware of this update. I took a long time to download...half an hour and the on clicking Restrart it would NOT restart. I did a hard shutdown and got the set up assistant nothing else. I will use Time Machine to install Leopard 10.5.1 . Using a G5 (PPC) 10.5.1 Dual Processor with 2 internal 250GB Drives. Fortunately I was able to boot to my other drive where I have Time Machine running Back upon an External LaCie Terabyte..

Odd. No problems with this update on my Intel Core Duo Mac Mini or Intel Core Duo MacBook, both running OS 10.5.1.

This Update HOSED my system! - lansky

This update screwed me up too. After rebooting, my internet connection was irreparably hosed. Email/Browsers will no longer connect. I'm on an old system Panther 10.3.9 on an older iBook PowerPC. I'm using my other computer now. If anyone has any tips on how to fix my iBook, I'd love to hear! Can I somehow de-install the Quicktime? I'm kind of a neophyte about these things. Thanks for any help!

If you have an external drive with the same volume on it you can use Super Duper from www.shirtpocket.com to restore your system by cloning it. You can also use Carbon Copy Cloner. Your other alternative is to use the install Disk and Archive and install and preserve user preferences. You might try to delete Quicktime from Applications as well as user/app support and preferences. You might also look in /library/appsupport for Quicktime as well as System/library/appsupport. Trash all Quivktime that you find there and try to reinstall Quicktime7.3 but I don't know where you can find that. Maybe it is best to wait until Apple fixes 7.3.1 Hope this helps you.

No problems here - Eric M

I agree with WalrusCP. Running 10.4.11 on a G5 iMac. All works perfectly.
