Upgraded Leopard on my Mac

And it’s nice… very nice.

All except software update will not work.
Software Update Error Dialogue

It is making a request for http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog

This file does not exist on that server. What I find incredibly frustrating here is that Apple support in Australia (133 622) has had me do the following:

    Check my file / folder permissions
    Repair my file / folder permissions
    Create an additional administrator account and try again
    Remove the system preferences and try again

After a total of 62 minutes on the phone, a senior consultant finally admitted that there was an error with the update server.

It isn’t a huge thing really I guess, but one of those things you would have expected to have been tested before the software was given to TNT for delivery.

So – for those updating to Leopard in the next few days… Don’t run software update.

Agree, disagree? Tell somebody!
