10.4.7 v. 2 for Intel
AppleInsider brings news that Apple will soon release an updated version of the 10.4.7 software update for Intel machines. According to the company, certain files pertaining to OpenGL performance are missing from the 10.4.6 to 10.4.7 updater package; all other packages including combo updates shipped with the files the first time around. The revised update is not yet available on the Apple website or through Software Update, but it is safe to assume that MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg will show up sometime later today. No word yet on whether or not users who already applied the first updater will have to re-run the installer, or if they will receive a patch with the missing files.

I wonder if they will release a fix for the recurrent system hang that pauses everything momentarily every 4-5 seconds... Anyone else experiencing that after upgrading to 10.4.7 (Intel)?

Wow... If it shows up today, that's 4 software updates in less than as many days. Something is rotten in Denmark.

I just wish they would fix the wireless that keeps dropping on both the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

my macbook wireless is fantastic. I had some issues where after sleeping it woulnd't reconnect to my router, until I reset the router. I determined this was a router issue and a reflash of a newer firmware fixed the problem and I haven't seen it since.

I have problems with wireless connecting to some routers with macbook pro. Seems to be worse when connecting to a linksys router. I have a netgear at home and it works great!

I've noticed that my external monitor on my iMac (Intel) totally hangs (blank screen)...some times a lot longer than the 4-5 seconds mentioned above ever since this patch.

I think this is absolutely necessary. My MacBook has ground to a painfully slow pace following 10.4.7

Only problem I have is it takes a few seconds to reconnect to the linksys wifi router when the MacBook Pro wakes up from sleep. Other than that, no wifi problems.
And oh, it takes a while for MBP to go to sleep. Hmm... CMD-OPTION-DEL takes a few seconds before it sleeps.

Oopps, it is CMD-OPTION-EJECT. My bad.

Black MacBook with 10.4.7. Everything is working fine. Wi-Fi is great, much better than what I had with my iBook.

After installing 10.4.7 my Macbook Pro refuses to do much but show the login screen. If I'm lucky it will show the background, dock, and menu bar before giving me the spinning beach ball of death... how nice.
