Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Mac OS X)

11.4.11 nightmare  

this is the only download since 10.1.1 which has been problematic and for me it's a complete disaster. According to my 'about this mac' I am running 10.4.11. However, it isn't listed in the software update 'installed updates'. So it's kind of installed but not installed! Safari doesn't work at all, USB ports crash. I can't re-install as software update says I'm up to date and if I try a manual attempt - the disk image won't mount. Without Safari the dreaded Explorer becomes the default browser - opening for every link - and this can't be changed without Safari. Spotlight is now very slow and I suspect the machine is heading for a crash. Solution: you've guessed it - clean install. Nice one. [alert admin]

11.4.11 nightmare  

Thanks for the tip - I have archived and installed. this time I have one machine on 10.4.10 and the other on 10.4.11. I'm glad i have the former! Although now properly installed, there is no doubt that 10.4.11 is not very stable. Safari is OK but a bit unreliable. Preview crashes whenever i try to print anything longer than 4 pages. I get windows scrolling in various applications without me doing anything…
