10.3.2 was bad news for me

Sorry Apple but you blew it.



I am really disappointed in you, After having updated (a brand new imac 15" running a clean install of panther) to 10.3.2 I am now having to erase the HD and install from scratch to get the machine working again. The 10.3.2 update totaled the imac.

    Everything worked fine here.

    Everything worked for all the people I know.



    Complaining doesn't help.



    If you would have, perhaps, given details or tried some of the "fix all" solutions in the Genius Bar FAQ, we could have probably helped you diagnose and correct your problem.

    well... you should wait and then update.



    I updated 10.3.2 on 2 Macs (iBook 300 and MDD). No problem so far.

    10.3.2 here, and on 2 friends computers, and it's fine on all of 'em



    sounds like yours was an isolated incident, probably caused(or influenced) by other pieces of software and/or firmware, perhaps you have installed many 3rd party things that interfered with system stuff....I dunno, either way, 10.3.2 is working totally fine for me.



    doesn't apple have discussion forums for this sort of stuff? maybe others have the same bad luck?

    Installed and runs fine on the 3 machines I've put it on today (Quicksilver DP800, Ti 550, and Sawtooth 450).

    Installed it here too, on two 12" Powerbooks.. no problems at all. Don't blame Apple if you can't even perform a simple update :P

    iBook500 happily running 10.3.2





    Seems from the first few posts like a better than 95% success rate on all kinds of machines...

    have you eliminated user error as a possible cause of your (seemingly unique) problem?

    No problems on a 667 MHz TiBook (Giga Ethernet).



    This is why its good to have a good disk utility (ala DiskWarrior) on hand.

    Instead I'll just offer a tip: Always, always always Repair Permissions before updating and after updating. Doing this can prevent a certain amount of random BS until Apple figures out how to keep various installers (or at least their own!) from constantly mucking up permissions.

    (edit: this is a 3-day-old iBook G4, it's gone nuts twice now, first time I reformatted and set it up from scratch cuz I kinda wanted to anyway..)





    10.3.2 totaled my finder. Now my menu bar flashes on and off slowly, I can never click on it and all my desktop icons are corrupted and I can't click on them either. luckily I had the foresight to create a second admin account, which I am posting on now, and it works fine. Does anyone have any experience with this type of problem? If it can't be fixed, does anyone know how I can move my pictures, documents, music, etc. folders from one account to another? I can't move them out of the locked folders in my old account because I can't do anything with the finder.

    Your problems sound self-inflicted.
