Paula, I have not experienced problems after an upgrade (I am still at latest version of 10.3.9 with current patches - waiting for 10.5 to come out) on a G5 desktop and a G4 laptop. Your slow file transfers baffle me, though. Are you running AV software; have you repaired permissions after installing the update? Have you tried a Firewire transfer from one computer to the other? Your computer manual should have a detailed description of this easy connection, boot to target mode and transferring files from one computer to the other. Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- Not before but after reinstalling the 10.9 update I repaired permissions. Not after installing those security "fixes" tho. I have most stuff backed up. It will take hours or days to back up any further to the external drives since anything going thru USB is a drop at a time. But I think I can back up over my network to my laptop so will do that next.
