Re: 10.6.5 - upgrade problems
Thanks Peter The guy from living desktop emailed back on Sunday and confirmed there were many people reporting problems. He'd flagged this on his site It 'may' for example only be non apple monitors that are affected. Yes you are right about how I came about living desktop. Pleased to hear you had no problems.

Re: 10.6.5 - upgrade problems
All, Instead of relying on Software Update to upgrade to 10.6.5 on my Mac Mini as I normally do, I thought I'd try the combo update route promoted here and downloaded the 10.6.5 combo update file which ran to a 1Gb file. i diligently repaired permissions, twice, and went ahead with confidence, having never had any problems with an upgrade. Once I checked the upgrade was running smoothly I went away only to be alerted to 'the computers having a spaz attack' by an alert family member. The screen was flashing in a way I'd never seen it before. Only the top of the screen was visible, and only momentarily in between flashes.

The only way I could control the Mac Mini was to hold down the power button until it turned off. No keyboard shortcuts would make a difference On restart the finder came back as expected. But once the screen went to sleep, it wouldn't wake, so another hard restart was needed. I checked under about this Mac and it is indicating I am now running 10.6.5 and the computer seems to be functioning as expected. I have repaired permissions again, twice I have confirmed that when I put the system to sleep, then wake it by hitting the escape button on the keyboard, the screen wakes up only to the blue screen and nothing else happens. I have to have a forced restart. This remains the same after a couple of restarts. I've run Software Update and only found iTunes to be updated, so have done that. This computer had a new logic board fitted a month or so ago under AppleCare warranty after a period of problems.. At the time the disk was cleared and rebuilt. Naturally I am not all that happy to have done an upgrade and got new problems. Apart from the wake from sleep issue, the computer seems fine, but it shouldn't be like this. I am tempted to rerun the updater to make sure that has done what is was supposed to do. Feedback welcomed!

Re: 10.6.5 - upgrade problems
Hi Tim I'd reinstall the OSX 10.6.5 update from the dmg file just to play it safe. Shouldn't hurt it, but may fix anything that wasn't installed 100% the first time.

The only way I could control the Mac Mini was to hold down the power button until it turned off. No keyboard shortcuts would make a difference On restart the finder came back as expected. But once the screen went to sleep, it wouldn't wake, so another hard restart was needed. I checked under about this Mac and it is indicating I am now running 10.6.5 and the computer seems to be functioning as expected. I have repaired permissions again, twice I have confirmed that when I put the system to sleep, then wake it by hitting the escape button on the keyboard, the screen wakes up only to the blue screen and nothing else happens. I have to have a forced restart. This remains the same after a couple of restarts. I've run Software Update and only found iTunes to be updated, so have done that. This computer had a new logic board fitted a month or so ago under AppleCare warranty after a period of problems.. At the time the disk was cleared and rebuilt. Naturally I am not all that happy to have done an upgrade and got new problems. Apart from the wake from sleep issue, the computer seems fine, but it shouldn't be like this. I am tempted to rerun the updater to make sure that has done what is was supposed to do. Feedback welcomed!

Re: 10.6.5 - upgrade problems
Done that Daniel. I'm wondering if a special Finder background image app I have may have caused problems. It's a moving video of various scenes. I also forgot to unplug a USB backup drive the first time. Is it okay to run the updated in safe boot mode to stop any background oddities interfering?

Re: 10.6.5
Thanks Roger, Daniel will be on to me for forgetting to include my usual warnings ;-) DON'T FORGET: 1. Backup your system BEFORE installing the Combo Update (or Update). 2. Repair Permissions before and after installing the Combo Update (or Update). 3. Run Software Update after installing the Updates Apple warning for installing Updates: Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system. As I have said numerous times on WAMUG List Do Not Upgrade if anything is amiss with your system. As is the case with all updates, if there's anything at all amiss with your system before the update, the update is likely to expose them.

Re: 10.6.5
Gee Ronni you make it sound like I'm a big meanie or something :o) lol Though after the last two weeks and putting three jobs in for data recovery (At an average cost of about $1200 to recover everything) it still amazes me why people don't backup. No matter how many times you remind them, and especially with the ease of back up programs available now,and with the low price of Hard Drives now. So yes,,,your point 1 is essential! :o) Maybe we should change the subject line to 10.6.5 (and don't forget to Backup) :O) hehe :o) So, yes glad you added your tag line. Now,..get back to work Ronni!

The OS X v10.6.5 Combo Update is not posted as yet. The v10.6.5 code is so far available only through Software Update. Filesizes can vary from computer to computer, but one upgrade from v10.6.4 is noted to weigh in at 517.3MB. Combo updates are substantially larger. As soon as I see the Combo is available I'll post the Correct Link. I have to stop trying to do too many things at once ... as I stuffed up here ;-) Cheers, Ronni On 11/11/2010, at 9:35 AM, Roger Kortas wrote: Hi Ronnie Just tried your link and it goes to the 10.6.4 update and so far am unable to find the 10.6.5!!
