SOLO68 I spoke with an Apple Representative earlier today. He told me there was an update available. I told him, "Thank You. The last time I checked was on Sunday. Furthermore, before installing the Apple update his instructions were as follows: NOTE: I told him I needed to log in to my admin account, and he didn't object or say it wasn't necessary. 1) Use disk utility to Repair Permissions on Macintosh HD. NOTE: This step was taking some time and the Apple Rep briefed me on the remaining steps and we ended the call. 2) Use my Apple Install DVD to run verify/repair disk on Macintosh HD. c) Hold down C key on keyboard. e) Select language. (by the way, it take a while for the language selection screen to pop up, so be patient while holding down that C key) f) Click Utilities on the Menubar and select Disk Utility. g) Run repair disk utility on Macintosh HD and quit, restart from Macintosh HD startup disk. Note: At this stage, the Mac should be restarted and logged back in to an admin account. 3) Choose Software Update from the Apple menu in the Menubar. The rest is guided by the update application. Use this as a guideline. If you update your Apple software differently and have no trouble, fine. I only offer my method as a suggestion. I haven't found any problems with my system after installing the 10.5.7 update. Nonetheless, I am not employed or trained by Apple, so use this guideline at your own risk. I assume no responsibility for any damage it may cause. But my Mac works fine. Also, I have reinstalled my Mac OS, on my own. I still am computing, trouble free. And it has been less than six months since I first purchased my first Mac. But I think I am getting the hang of it, I came from PC land. Best wishes. (Version 10.5.7) |
