MetalFanLiam Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hey everyone, just a first note to say how wonderful i think this project is, and how helpful the members of the forum are. I just need a bit of advice on how to update my installation of mac osx86. Currently, i have installed Tiger 10.4.1, and i'm aware it is an old version. Could someone tell me how i could update this installation to the latest tiger version available for osx86? I have tried the 2 script way, making a "backup.sh and restore.sh" but i get an error upon execution of the script. Thanks for anyone to reply, Liam Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123741-need-a-bit-of-advice/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Doraine Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I know its probably not what you want to hear but id suggest backing up your data and apps and doing a clean installation of 10.5. There are lots of 10.5.x builds around. I just tried out the iATKOS i4 install dvd and it worked pretty nicely!

poopmonkey Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Are you sure you followed the 2 way script correctly? I would suggest you try again. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123741-need-a-bit-of-advice/#findComment-875367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalFanLiam Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks for replying, i have corrected the 2 script problem, and its now fine. Problem is now, when i click on the software update, it seems to come up with a message box saying "No updates found". When i click on the software update from the apple in the top left corner, it says the same thing. I have tried manually installing updates from the apple website, downloading updates for 10.4 (tried both combo and normal updates, for intel" and as soon as it finishes verifying the files, it says "this update is not needed". I'm running 10.4.1 so im sure these updates are needed. Any advice? Yours, Liam Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123741-need-a-bit-of-advice/#findComment-876317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
