DD_nVidia Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well...possible...perhaps - Thats what I was thinking when someone showed me it. Downloaded - it said AMD at the end of the file...I extracted it - but the file inside said Intel...I was assured by my friend that it worked on his AMD Athlon 64 3700+ but I have a X2 4400, and I know there has been some problems with them and OSX, but what the hell, I couldn't get iTunes work, so worth the try. Installed it...went to "about this mac" and there it was - 10.4.7 - Amazing!!! I then went to updates, and i got updates for the whole iLife suite, including iTunes which all installed perfectly and now work perfectly!!! I would be more than happy to share this with you but I am afraid I couldn't tell you as I think it's breaking the rules telling you where you would get this file - although I am not sure if it breaking the rules for to tell you the name of the file - or to prehaps add me on Msn dd_nvidia@hotmail.co.uk or AIM/iChat DD_nVidia@mac.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyICON Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hey DD_Nvidia, I've added you to my MSN, but if you get around to seeing this first, could you please tell me the name of the file? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commlock Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 That'a good news... I have downloaded the patch but I decided not to install it as I saw I saw "for Intel" remark in a zip file named "for AMD". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that it is the name of the update file. I have today installed the update successfully. However, I just made a copy of my OSX by the way of Carbon Copy Cloner to another partition and then installed the package without setting any permissions etc. and now it's seems like working.

Commlock Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 nice, thanks a lot guys. Btw, I have come accross the following thread for the update: Update to 1.4.7 from 10.4.6 There are some information about permissions which you may have to do. I just installed the update and it worked but I still don't know if I have to the the permission thing so I would also be glad if someone clarifies the issue.
