jl8080 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I need to update my Uphuck 1.3 10.4.9 hackintosh to 10.4.10 in order to make full use of my newly purchased Apple Mac keyboard. For those that don't know - it requires 10.4.10 in order to be able to install the drivers to use the function keys! Is it worth me taking the risk of updating for something I can probably live without! It would be really nice to have the function keys - the closer to a real mac I can get the better. Thanks in advance, James. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62458-pascalws-10410-update-risk-assessment/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 With your setup, I don't think it will be much of a risk to try either PascalW or Koolkal. I've used both with great success. When in doubt though, always make a backup of your system.

BJMoose Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Both come with easy installers. Back up your system and you've got no worries.

Fatherless One Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'd like to do the same upgrade. Could someone take us through the "back-up" process? How to do this in OSX, and exactly what to back-up. And finally how to re-install that back-up should the upgrade go badly.

BJMoose Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 On a dual boot Win/OSX system, if you have an extra drive, you can use Ghost 12 right from windows to backup your OSX partition to another drive. If you need to recover it, you just start Ghost in Windows and recover to the proper partition. I have about 70gb of software on a 130gb OSX partition. It takes about 20 minutes to back it up and about 25 minutes to recover it. Hope this helps.

Thats it replace the rest and your set.Thanks for the help strangedaze.With your advise I've just downloaded Pacafist, so I say "yes" to replacing the "dock"? and keep the original, or discard the original? (I assume you mean discard the original).Lastly where do I get the software (drivers) for the new keyboard without installing the 10.4.10 update?Okay, I'm using my head, I've opened the Koolkal 10.4.10 update, but where do I find the apple keyboard mpkg?

jl8080 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Did you work out how to do it yet Fatherless One? I haven't attempted it just yet, will do so shortly.

Is it worth me taking the risk of updating for something I can probably live without! It would be really nice to have the function keys - the closer to a real mac I can get the better. Thanks in advance, James. I'm in the same boat that you are, only that this post is being written on the new Mac keyboard, with functioning..err...function keys, and I'm running 10.4.8! Here's what I did. Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and edit the information to say 10.4.10 Save, then run Software Update, and uncheck everything except for the update regarding the mac keyboard. Restart! It'd probably be a good idea to repair disk permissions prior to rebooting, though I don't believe it is necessary. Moreover, you can edit this back to say 10.4.whatever when you are done and you'll still have your keyboard functionality. The only bug that I've come across is that I don't know that you can have the keyboard plugged in when you boot - it hung at the white boot screen (didn't even show a rotating image) when I tried it so I just had it boot without it plugged in, and then after it booted up into the desktop I plugged it in again and everything was working! Good luck, and this method of `updating` works for other applications as well - e.g. iLife '08...so it's a handy workaround to have Hope this helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62458-pascalws-10410-update-risk-assessment/#findComment-463920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
raulb Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hey I used the Pascal updater on my Uphuck 1.4i R2 install, worked flawlessly. It's quite simple really unless you have gma950 in which case you have to back up a framework kext, other than that the 10.4.10 kernel is definitely smoother and more responsive on my system. You could use Ghost or Acronis True Image to back up your current install and see how it does, incase of any problems just restore with Acronis. Also remember to make a backup of your Extensions folder, you may need some of the kexts if you run into any problems.
