No, you cannot install it on you iHack yet. There are certain key files in the update that need to be patched before it will work with your system. Give it some time, it will happen.

Hey,

After I installed 10.4.8 on my MacBook I can't boot it up!?!?!?! I do have BootCamp and when I boot up it skips the OS X partition and goes to Windows. When you hold the Option key and select Macintosh HD it gives me a folder with a question mark. Any ideas? Man I really need my notebook tonight! Don't know what is going wrong.

Anyone else with a sucessfull update of this? I have several Macs to update, but can't test because of the importance of the files I have stored.

 

And for the one with the f***ed MacBook... try booting off your Mac OSX Install disk and running First Aid via Disk Utility... it probably won't do much but might be the key ;)

update seems to have enhanced my xbench scores, notably opengl and user interface.

 

 

i cant remember if i have beamsync on or off, but even with it off my scores have never been this high.

 

i havent run xbench in a while tho, so correct me if i am wrong
