it doesn't work
Authored by: lamb666 on Feb 20, '02 07:38:17AM

i tried to update to 10.1.3 this morning and about 2 thirds of the way through i was told i had a software error and that if i clicked cancel and then install again it would start the download from where i left of. It didn't and it just kept saying i had a software error, not to bad u say, just try again, well when one has a 56k modem and your paying for every minute you use, being told that u can't finish the download is pissing off, has anyone else had this problem? thanks

I had this problem trying to update to 10.1.2 on a G4/450. My white iBook updated fine but the desktop would not. Somewhere between 10.1 and 10.1.2, I dorked-up the file permissions at the top-level of my drive (made myself owner of the drive). Everything seemed fine except small anomolies, most noticeably not being able to update any software. I wound up having to back-up my personal files and start from scratch. After waxing everything, all upgrades have gone without a hitch.
