Travis Taylor Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I've searched the forums and didn't really find anything of use to me. I have 10.4.1 installed right now, and I really couldn't tell you must about it. A buddy of mine downloaded it and put it on a DVD for me, and in all honesty I just formatted a Hard Drive, popped in the DVD and it installed just fine. I believe he mentioned something about marklar or something...but I'm really not sure. Anyway, I really want to update to 10.4.3 so I can run OS X in a decent resolution; I am currently downloading OSXupdate.tar, as well as some other full sized 10.4.3 installs, but the OSXupdate.tar will be finished by the morning, and I was just wondering how to install it. My current machine is this: A-Bit IS7 Pentium 4 2.6CGhz ATi 9800 250gb HDD 512mb RAM I think thats all you guys might need to know...any ideas?

Travis Taylor Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Alright, I went ahead and ran the .pkg, I restarted, and it says I am still running 10.4.1...I figure it's because I have an SSE2 CPU and not SSE3, any ideas on how to get this to work?

Metrogirl Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Alright, I went ahead and ran the .pkg, I restarted, and it says I am still running 10.4.1...I figure it's because I have an SSE2 CPU and not SSE3, any ideas on how to get this to work? Nothing to do with SSE... The update package will continue to report 10.4.1 because that's the core. What it does is plant a load of later release components onto the base but it's still the earlier version at heart. If you want 10.4.3 you're best to start over and use a patched 10.4.3 iso. JaS' brilliant patch works for a lot of people as does Wesley, or you can patch manually with Maxxuss (which works better for some folk).

Travis Taylor Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ahh ok, well that would explain why the flash and java plugins actually work now. Of course I sill don't have a way of raising my resolution to abouve 1024x768. Is there a smaller file, or patch, that would allow me to do so? It could take up to a week for me to download one of those newer files with 10.4.3 full install.

SquithyX Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 As far as i am aware, you will need to have 10.4.3 to use your ati card, i would recomend upgrading anyway as 10.4.3 works so much better and quicker than 10.4.1.

Travis Taylor Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Alright, thanks for the help guys...I may get those torrents back up and running, but I plan on buying a Mac Mini as soon as they are updated with the Intel CPUs, so hopefully I will be using 10.4.5 pretty soon..haha Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8149-osxupdatetarhow-do-i-install-it/#findComment-51432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
