KenD Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Upgraded (via Archive-and-install) from 9a559 to 9a581 on an Intel iMac. Everything seems fine, apart from clicking on the "sharing" icon in System Preferences. I get this error: "You cannot open Sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac." This definitely is an Intel-based Mac, it runs Parallels beautifully Anyone any ideas what is going on?

AppleNick Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I would never recommend upgrading from a Dev version to GM. Just do a clean install. There´s no need to erase your disk. Just choose the option "create a new system folder". Then you shouldn´t have any problems at all.

KenD Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah, starting to believe that However, I've found the problem file - /System/Library/PreferencePanes/SharingPref.prefPane - and discovered that it's a PowerPC version only. This is bizarre; the previous install (9a559) was fine, and obviously the machine has never been a PowerPC model. Anyway, I've copied the file from another Mac - ironically, a PowerPC G5 - and it's a universal binary which works fine. It wouldn't be fun if *something* didn't go wrong Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67639-strange-error-after-upgrading/#findComment-480918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
