Thanks for the heads up.

I just installed this.

Has anyone found that upon rebooting after the install that OS X takes forever to boot up?

Mine sat at the grey screen with the Apple logo for ages, it then rebooted itself and started up ok. Strange :confused:

Mr Jones · 29 Sep 2006 at 23:14

Is it just a one off? I've yet completed my download nor will I restart for a awhile yet...

Please update.

Maybe an update for EFI or whatever the 'bios' thingy is?

Seems ok now, must have been an update or something.

Mr Jones · 30 Sep 2006 at 10:33

I just restarted and nothing off the usual happened.

Update's good.

Mine spent ages booting and then reset and then booted normally.

It's probably just my eyes but the pink tinge seems to have gone on my Macbook's screen. Seems more bluish.

Echo toxin · 30 Sep 2006 at 12:52

Several people are saying there is a blue tint to their screens after this update. Haven't tried it myself yet as I am in the middle of a big download.

Mr Jones · 30 Sep 2006 at 13:08

I'm not seeing any blue tint, still looks like the usual... *hmmm*

Captain-Fungi · 30 Sep 2006 at 13:12

Not seeing any blue tint here...
