Vip Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 HI, I want to update my Mac OS x86 from version 10.4.1 to 10.4.5 but there is only a combo updatefile for PowerPC available. So how to manage the update for intel pcs ? Thx VIP Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12000-update-from-1041-to-1045/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vip Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Well, I have tried several updatefiles now. From 10.4.1 to 10.4.2 and some others, too but I get everytime the message: "your Computer does not need this update" But obviosly when I check the OS version it says 10.4.1 If I try to run the update from 10.4.4 to 10.4.5 (MacOSXUpd10.4.5intel) the installer shows up, but I am not able to select a traget to install, because all partitions are decorated with a red X ! So what`s going worng over there ? Thx VIp Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12000-update-from-1041-to-1045/#findComment-75454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 There are no Combo Update to 10.4.5 on Intel because the firt released version for Intel was the 10.4.4 with the Intel iMac. 10.4.1 on intel was only for developers so there are no updates in the same way as retail versions. The only way to update is with the patched 10.4.4/5 DVD.

Vip Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 ok. is it possible to patch my 10.4.1 ISO to a 10.4.4 installation ? Or is it impossible to avoid downloading anohter 4GB? My mainproblem is that my ALC880 is not working under *.4.1 Are there some more options ? I found a file called "osxupdate.tar" which seems to make it possible to update from 10.4.1 to 10.4.3 in one term. The problem is, that I found now download for this. !

macgirl Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Possible yes, but the patch surely increase in size almost to the size of the new DVD, anyway there is no such patch.

Vip Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 ok then. But briefly, what`s the reasion why the official patches of apple.com cannot be installed ? Where does this error come from? Can I use the official patches to patch from 10.4.3 to 10.4.5 ? Or 10.4.4 ?

tomnhanni Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Just a question: is it even worth doing the update from 10.4.4 to 10.4.5 from what i read the update with the new Darwin 8.5.1 kernel only supports Intels new duo CPUs and hence needs to be pached back to the Darwin 8.4.1 kernel after the update which is then the same as 10.4.4. If this is the case why upgrade? Do we get more hardware support or are there new features?
