Yep. I uploaded version 10.4.9 and quickly felt the glimmer of hope I had entertained crash and die as the problem of RSS only seemed to intensify. With 10.4.9 firmly in place, my Macbook now completely rejects any notion of booting up any of my CS2 programs where formerly, it would randomly shut down if I ran any two programs in Creative Suite simulntaneously. Now it shuts down with the slightest use…ie. using a native program like Safari to cruise the internet. My Macbook is only 4 months old and the monitor flickers intermittently, the Airport seems to be faulty, the programs run slow if they run at all, the keyboard and track pad lock up without explanation, and it still turns itself on when the clamshell is shut. I am sending it in this week for repairs after dealing with 2 months of chronic complaints to the Apple Care Center….they kept asking me to 1. buy the Apple Care Plan, 2. buy more memory and 3. wait for CS3 to be released. Needless to say, I am pulling my hair out.

Just re-installed 10.4.3 after the headaches with 10.4.9 on my G4 PowerBook. G5 does not like 10.4.9 so I’ll do that next. MacBook has been AWOL since the hard drive and logic board fried a month and a half ago so it will stay with 10.4.8. Writing a letter to Apple (Ireland) and wish to know if anyone can vouch for the CoreDuo 2 MacBook being any more reliable than the CoreDuo of the earlier MacBooks. Thanks.

Maybe 10.5 will try to catch up with XP!

my macbook wonÂ´t boot either……I would be glad if someone could offer me a piece of advice on the following: all of yesterdays work is the macbook and I donÂ´t have a backup-copy. is there any way of retrieving data that has not been backed-up, after restoring macOS? thanks a bunch!!

I’ve recently done the update patch from apple and now my intel MacBook no longer detects my Sony LCD TV which happily displayed 1366X768 format.

This driver appears to be removed and now it only comes up as a standard lcd display and therefore only gives me bog standard display formats .

Has anyone else noticed this??????

Mes thinks the company are trying to push us to a MAC TV box.

MacBook Pro wouldn’t boot after upgrade to 10.4.9
Needed restore to 10.4.8 from a back-up.

I updated to this release v10.4.9 on the 14th and since then I’ve been experiencing this random shutdown problem hence how I found this site so far from fixing the issue it appears to have caused it!

I have a 13″ MacBook Black

I wasn’t having this random shutdown issue until yesterday when I installed 10.4.9 update!! The problem seems to be getting worse!
