After updating 10.5.7 to 10.5.8 from Apple, the sound stopped (no output device found), and time machine started a new instance.

Hence there is no way to restore the previous system. ANy ideas how to restore sound and time machine?

MB Gigabyte-EP-45-DS3LR, started from iPC 10.5.6. Updated from Apple to 10.5.7 (was fine)

A lot of people are having problems with this. For me, on my laptop install, sound went and the trackpad and keyboard were disabled.

 

I followed various 'guides' on how to do the upgrade, but none of them worked for me. I had to re-install 3 or 4 times, gave up, went back to 10.5.7.

 

On the other hand, my desktop install worked straight from the Apple update with no mods or issues at all.

How does one get back to 10.5.7? The iPC is 10.5.6. 10.5.7 is still available from Apple, ok.

But Holly Slip@# here goes my weekend! in case I have to reinstall.

 

Any ideas how to make images of the existing system so that a restore is possible next time? I was relying on time machine that is also po@ped with this upgrade.

I go to 10.5.7 from Ideneb 10.5.6 then the iDeneb 10.5.7 combo upgrade. If you are using iPC, then maybe the iDeneb upgrade will work.

 

As far as making backup disk images is concerned, I don't know as I use TM, but surely it can't be difficult. A bit of searching should solve that one.

Since the post above, I discovered the iDeneb 10.5.8 upgrade and that worked perfectly on my laptop install!

 

So, 'reinstall' is the name of the game? hem? Any other ideas how to recover just the kexts?

Where did you see the iDeneb 10.5.8?

If you are struggling to find it, then just PM me.

Got iDeneb Combo+Delta. 793.6MB v 10.5.8

There is no kext for sound though ... is this the one? I dont want to ruin the rest of my installation.

NB: My installation was 10.5.7 > upgraded to 10.5.8 via Apple [that ruined TM and sound]. Will the iDeneb 10.5.7 bring me back to where I was?
