Yesterday’s release of the 10.4.7 update seems to have caused some ripples around the web. Hawk Wings is reporting that the updater may change OS X’s SOCKS configuration, thus wreaking havoc with Mail.app’s ability to connect to mail servers. Check out that link for a fix.
Meanwhile, MacFixIt is indicating that some Intel Mac owners who have Unsanity’s Application Enhancer (APE) installed are having trouble launching Adobe Creative Suite 2 apps. The fix for that at the moment seems to be uninstalling APE.
Accelerate Your Macintosh! has seen a couple of readers reporting that installed memory has been “lost” (isn’t registering) after the update is installed. Switching the DIMMs to different slots may help.
One of our own commenters reported massive data loss and network instability.
And, as always, the venerable Macintouch has a slew of reader reports on the 10.4.7 updated process, both successes and problems.
All in all, seems about par for the course for an OS X update. How are you guys doing with 10.4.7? Any issues? Should I go ahead and install on my MacBook?
Why can't you just add the Adobe apps to the master exclude list in the APE preference pane? Also with the RAM issue, this has happened to me too, and all it took was re-installing the RAM module. Suddenly, all the RAM was seen!
