TokinDerrick Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm looking for the maxxuss patch solution (10.4.5) the one on the maxxuss site tells me its corrupted. please someone PM me with details to a rapidshre (if there is one) or my e-mail address is TokinDerrick AT gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kin123 Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Updated to 10.4.6 using Myzar's install package (I used the Myzar 10.4.5 Install DVD to install the OS). Install worked flawlessly. SMB works fine, ATI card with QE & CI still works. Kudos to Myzar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denexo Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 After 2 failing attempts, i finally decided not to update to 10.4.6. "Minor" things not working (mount_smfs and god knows what else that we are still unaware of) and "major" things (like the disabled frameworks) that were supposed to work with an intel processor but still don't. I wouldn't like to underestimate the efforts of JaS, Myzar, quixos for his great guide, cyclonefr (and others that i am not aware of) but since maxxuss hasn't done his magic with this new "fruit" called 10.4.6 update then i will reside from updating my hacintosh.

I think I'm going to totally agree, also after 2 failing attempts. the disabled frameworks is the kicker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 what disabled frameworks? this is the manual update guide, not the myzar autoupdate package guide. have either of you used this guide? lol. :pirate2: ------------------------------------------------------------- congratulations kin123, but not the correct area of the forum. ------------------------------------------------------------- i just included the mount_smbfs file that cyclonefr found to fix unmountable shares, into the guide. are we 100% working now?

TokinDerrick Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I would, if someone could hook me up with the maxxuss patch solution for 10.4.5 PM me or e-mail me a link or attach it to the e-mail. TokinDerrick@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlyboy Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Just a bit of common sense advice needed from someone at the moment im running 10.4.5 question is is there any real point to update to the new 10.4.6 as it stand my setup right now runs excellenty so is it worth all the migrane at the mo thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docangle Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I am also having problems after following the driections to a 'T'. I can no longer enable 'Personal File Sharing' under 'Sharing' System Prefrences. So I cannot access my PC from another PC on the network, and also when I try to connect to another PC (Windows or Mac) I am getting the 'Select the SMB/CIF shared volume you want to connect to.' but once I select okay, I am getting a message, "The alias "xxxxx" could not be opened becuase the original item cannot be found."

quixos Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 curlyboy,truthfully, if you are happy with what you have, why update it now? there will still be guides and packages made with all the bugs worked out, etc. this is for fun, if updating all the time doesn't turn you on, don't do it! :pirate2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- docangle, have you read the information contributed by cyclonefr about downgrading the mount_smbfs file? it has been included in the guide, but you can copy it off your dvd, and repair permissions to get shares mounting again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokinDerrick Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 the link to the maxxuss patch on his website gives me a corrupted .zip file. can anyone e-mail me one? or PM me a link to it hosted on another site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 TokinDerrick, please stop asking for it. everyone and their mother has a copy. if you look for it you'll find it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- to everyone, if you try this guide, test everything, and post about it, so we can find problems, fix them, and get on with our lives.

TokinDerrick Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 alright, so I just tried your method. I got to the first reboot. pushed F8 typed in "-x -s" on the same line (I'm supposed to right?) it shows a bunch of code fast, and then it shows other stuf and the last three things that stand out to me read Extension com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassstorageclass no kernal dependingExtension com.apple.driver.itunesphonedriver no kernal depending Extension com.apple.driver.ipodsbcdriver no kernal depending and then it just keeps saying "still waiting for root device" underneath that, every so often it'll just keep put another "still waiting for root device" and if I just try to start it up normally, it goes to the grey apple screen for a while, and then it puts up a "no" sign, the circle with the line through it. what did I do wrong?

quixos Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 docangle, cyclonefr, you can mount networks shares, (which i've not set up yet, so no way to test) is that still in fact correct? ------------------------------------------------------ to everyone, in the 10.4.6 update notes, they briefly say they fixed a bug with AFP Server. perhaps the same method cyclonefr used to correct mounting shares, can be found for AFP Server. i will add the solution to the guide as soon as one of us finds the answer. open console and attempt to start Personal File Sharing for the locations of pertinent frameworks. i'm hoping we can keep those and it's another one file fix. ------------------------------------------------------- will be out for a while... keep busy folks, use your heads.

quixos Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 i've got Personal File Sharing working now on my computer. don't think it's more than an additional few files to backup, and changing a plist or two. that seems to be the difference when i verify my files against the official apple update. will narrow them down tomorrow. it's been a long weekend. ...I learned how to selectively apply an update from Apple using pacifist. It was fun. thanks for "getting it" TopazBar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

184200 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi guys! I did exactly as it written in instructions and had no trobles until I rebooted and all I see is blue screen. Then I booted in -v mode and saw something about tfpd (or something like that) not found or failed. Could you please tell me what to do? That was the 2nd time I tried to update to 10.4.6 and got the same problem. I've got laptop LG LS50a - Pentium M 1.8GHz, 512Mb, 10.4.5 with all secure updates.
