![]() ![]() ![]() That’s also a bug-there’s not supposed to be any functional difference between a Mac OS X 10.4.5 system after applying a “delta” or “patch” update and any Mac OS X 10.4 system after applying the “combo” update. ![]() We can’t explain why this works because we can’t explain the problem, but this is supposed to fix it. If it fails for you, the anecdotal solution is downloading and installing the appropriate “combo” updater for your system’s processor. framework is missing.” Our attempts to pin this down have not succeeded.Ĭontains a detailed account of our attempts to summarize, we could not make it fail, and we could not explain why it would fail for others.

The “combo” updater has another place for people upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.6. ![]() If one or two of them have not been updated at all, they may not be included in the “combo” updater, so installing it won’t solve the problem. A “combo” updater would only avoid this if all three components had been updated in any post-10.4 version of Tiger. If you replaced one of these components with an alternate version, and if an OS updater replaced a separate one, you’d be left with a system where three interdependent components were from three different versions of the OS. The code lives in at least three separate places in the /System/Library folder: the AppleShare file system module in Filesystems, and the AppleShare Client and Client Core frameworks in Frameworks. Take, for example, the AppleShare client software that lets you log onto AFP servers and treat them as disks. If you’ve replaced the others with other versions, you may see system havoc up to and including a kernel panic.ĭownloading and installing the “combo” updater insulates you against such unwanted side effects, but only to a point. The Installer does not know if you’ve been monkeying around with the system, and may replace just one file out of a group of interdependent files. If you have changed any files that the OS supplies, such as messing with frameworks or Apple’s device drivers or Unix control files,īefore installing the “delta” or “patch” updates. ![]()
