Mac OS X 10.0.1 Update Available

[mehtajr]

Just ran Software Update for a goof, and after it updated software update itself (to version 1.3.1), it told me to run it again, as more updates may be available.

Lo and behold, the Mac OS 10.0.1 Update is now there. I'm downloading it now. It notes "support for iTunes, improved USB compatibility, as well as stability and performance improvements."

Just thought that might be of interest if you hadn't noticed it already...

::Begin addendum::

Just finished installing the update. About this Mac lists the current build as 4L13 (I seem to recall reading a bit about it on MOSR). I may be dumb, but I can't find any documentation that the update installed, so I couldn't say what it actually updates (that and I'm too lazy to look through the console to figure it out).

I did note that the update optimizes the system, updating the prebindings (just like the command line tip that's been floating around lately).

Yeah, I ran Software Update, and it updated itself to version 1.3.1, just like yours.

Mine just said that the installation was successful, nothing about trying again to get other software. But that is maybe just because I am running German.

But then I try Software Update again, I just see this stupid barberpole and after a minute or something, it just stops and pretends I never clicked it at all.
Restarting and trying again had the same effect.

Update:
Ok, after another restart (Being in OS 9 for a short time), it just changed it mind and worked. tsts...

I just installed the update and I must say that X is snappier than it was before without a doubt. Window resizes are faster in IE and the Finder (see my specs below). Processes (especially those with lots of image redraws like window movement, resizing, dock swooshing) are faster and less prone to the occasional hiccups in performance I was noticing before the update.

The interesting thing is that I had previously installed the developer tools and then performed the prebinding command posted all over the Internet (MOSR first for my eyes). This update (4L13) definitely makes the user experience faster and smoother than the prebinding ever did.

All in all I'm very satisfied.

Now if MS would just fix the d@#n copy/paste problems with IE, I'd be much happier.

I keep running software update, after reinstalling build 4k78, and it says it's up to date. This is after software update updated itself.


OK.. Officially I am now ripping my f**king hair out!!!


any suggestions welcome

I must say that apple have done well, I noticed right away that screens load faster and that even when the dock loads at startup its faster.

Now I updated from osx 10.0.0 with no trouble at all, but if some of you did install the leaked osx update then you need to delete the 10.0.1updater.pkg file from /Library/Reciepts and then run the updater.

cheers

If you reinstalled OS X Final over an install of 4L5 or 4L7, then it is possible that it maintained your preferences file or additions in your receipts folder.

First, try deleting all OS X info from the /Library/Receipts folder (the one off of root directory), then log out and back in. Rerun Software Update and you should be in business.

If that didn't work then, second, under /users/username/Library/Preferences/Software Update/ delete all preferences files and restart the system. Then run Software update again.

Ciao

I installed the original OSX Final after reformating the drive to HFS+. I tried both suggestions, and it still does nothing. I did have 4L5 and 4L7, but there are no traces of it anywhere on the system now.

Is there anything else someone can think of?


Could someone put the update packages on their iDisk?

[gumse]

As i have reported earlier 90% of the time SoftwareUpdate, Sherlock and Mac Help says that it cannot connect to the net. But I can surf,mail and nfs without problems at the same time.

Anyway, i managed to upgrade "Software Update" , but then I have tried 12 times to download 10.0.1 whith no luck. Needless to say i am "a bit" frustrated.

Can it be downloaded "manually" or can some nice person perhaps put in on their iDisk or something ???? Please !!!
