Likely to solve most of reported problems

[MisaMilosevic]

Hello to everyone, this is my first post. I wish to share the experience of resolving some commonly reported problems by simply achieving a clean and undisturbed installation go through.

My fisrt installation of iDeneb 10.5.5 didn't go smooth but I finally made the system work, except for:

- intermittent USB freeze

- intermittent dead keyboard upon start up

- unstable internet connection

- fans continuing to work after shutdown

 

Then after a month I decided to go for official 10.5.6 update without consulting forums first and got mess with Time Machine, graphic card, iTunes, screensavers, Ethernet etc. At this point, I had to erase the HD and do a clean install.

 

This time, the iDeneb installation went smooth, meaning: no freezing blue screen, no forced restarts after first start up. And all above mentioned symptoms simply disappeared.

 

So, my advice is to try installing and re-installing until entire installation process goes smooth. For re-installing, you will want to use Disk Utility and chose Zero Out Data in Security options to ensure that all wrong data are wiped out.

 

As soon as you experience a freeze, a system halt, endlessly spinning Wait circle or need to force restart - something went wrong during the installation which will most likely cause system malfunction and you will want to do it all over again.

 

Good luck.
