well what about old ivory? things originally purchased in the 30's or 40's that you've found or have had forever and want to sell? how would this affect those auctions
i actually downloaded and installed this update while in school on my MBP (downloaded during English, installed during Japanese) and the install went flawless for me.
i started the update, put the comp on the desk behind me, took a test, and by the time i was done it was prompting me to restart =P in my experience with OSX (only about 6 months still newbie when it comes to mac) i have had very few problems, much less then the windows updates I'm used to.
I am expecting a call from the tech department of my school (still in high school) asking how i managed to take up half the schools bandwidth =). they already throttled our maclab (which i helped build) after 6 new iMac's and a mac mini tried to download the 10.5.2 update at the same time.
no on the loaner i did not install firefox, spybot, or adaware. the first loaner they gave me had a dud hdd that died as soon as i got home, the 2nd one is where i found the problem initially
firefox spybot and adaware were not the sources of the problem, i had been using all 3 for the 3 years i had the computer and never had a problem, even with out them installed the same problem still exsisted in the loaner i remind you. between the 2 installs nothing in the image had changed besides what they updated, and the problem exsisted as soon as i turned the computer on with out even getting a chance to install firefox or anything else
i am currently a senior at NDHS (Notre Dame High school) in NJ and my freshmen year they started the pilot program, 1 class of freshmen students purchased HP tablet computers mostly locked down by the tech department to prevent viruses and the like. already having more experience with computers then anyone else in my class immediately found ways around a few of the blocks and soon they opened them up a bit so we could manage them ourselves, well that was fine up until last year (my junior year) when my tablet (an HPTC1100 for those intrested) fell off of my desk and the screen cracked, no big deal it was still covered and fixed for free. but instead of just fixing the screen and not messing with the rest they completely reformatted my hdd and i had to re-install everything... soon after i found an SVChost.exe taking 100% of my cpu, so i brought this to the tech departments attention as it was a problem i had with the loaner computer they had given me while mine was being fixed, and what do they tell me the problem is? "o you installed firefox, spybot search and destroy, and adaware" which all 3 i had been using since my freshmen year with out a problem, and now all the sudden they cause my computer to fail at life... besides telling me to uninstall said programs, how do they tell me to fix it instead of taking action themselves? "give it a week and see how it works" a computer is not a pair of shoes, if there is a problem in a file it is not going to fix itself unless it has a way to fix itself.
needless to say i removed myself from my schools network soon after and installed linux, i have not had any problems like that since that i did not cause myself by being an idiot
