Anyone do the current update and the system won't startup?
Is there a downloadable startup disk?
Domo.

yeah, mine takes an age to start up and then log in...
I thought Apple might of fixed it already but nope.
It's knackered my powerbook...

same here. it takes about 3min to start up. Very annoying. I am working from a g4 desktop.
does the computer also run slower? Maybe i am just paranoid.

nah, I think it doesn't like G4's....

I was told by someone on the Apple tech hotline/support that 10.3.4 is the safest to be at since there's a lot of third party software that won't work with either 10.3.5 or 10.3.6.
i've got to do a erase and re-install. thanks Apple.

have you noticed this always happens at the start of a build up to a new release?
Might be just my imagination but as soon as a version that involves parting with hard earned cash is on the horizon my OS starts to have probs. Sure it happened with 8.6.x and 9.2.x as well?

so why the fark did they release it???
jeez sometimes.....

Have you checked macfixit etc...they seem to have found causes for slowdown...

yeah i run a media lab of g4s and all of them have experienced a ton of problems since the last upgrade! slow boot up and weird application problems. luckily i have an image to restore it back to a more stable state.

10.3.5 i havent noticed any startup problems or app functionality problems.
hmmm, just me? or am i blind? who knows who cares! yay apple!

with any os update installs, make sure you repair permissions before and after. that sometimes help fix things that may cause issues at startup.
also check your startup items in the accounts pref to make sure nothin out of the ordinary is messing things up.
same with after startup, open Activity Monitor to check if things are running that shouldn't be.

QS dual 1.25 - 10.36 runs excellent
iBook G4 - 10.36 runs excellent
Friends G5 dual 1.8 however got hardware failure during bootup right after installation and is now under surgery at Apple service center down in NL. Scares me a little bit how it seems to be able to destroy hardware just like that (speculating that it involves logic board). For anyone interested, i can return with a report in a few weeks when its returned... but it's definitely got to do with the update.

My G3 iBook is all kinds of fucked up with 10.3.6 on installed. It runs extremely slow, the ol' command+tab is extremely distorted and iChat runs as if it were developed by Microsoft. Not having this problem on my G4 iMac. I did a repair permissions today, but to no avail.

Come to think of it, the iMac has been acting strange as well, I think the logic board is going yet again. (It is on its third.)

OSX on the G3
tricky businessour G3 iMac exploded after installing OSX

after I installed it started, but I lost all of my firewire devices. Unplug them while installing and then update firmware if you can.

what's bad is 10.3.6 not 10.3.5. At least on the G4. 10.3.6 only seems to work fine on my comp at work (G5).
