hi roisoft or anyone else that can help,
can you reupload the patches.zip file posted in an earlier message on this topic?

when i click on that link now, the file that downloads is not a valid zip file. i would like to patch up the loginwindow.app and CoreService.framework binaries to get them to work.

thanks!

Not sure if this is directly related to the Time Machine software update, but see my issue in this other thread: http://www.infinitemac.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=285&page=1#Item_4 . It is really annoying, as I don't know what's causing my machine to load OSX, but don't load the Finder menu bar (nor any other startup programs). Help, please!

Thanks

@edgargoncalves:
i think the issue is related - the time machine software update includes updated loginwindow.app and CoreService.framework and these have cpuid's that have to be patched.

there is a patches.zip link earlier in this thread, but it's not to a valid file. i have requested for the file to be re-uploaded. it might help you to run the patch if/whenever it's available again.

@whodat:
Thanks, I had tried the patch before, but as you''ve said, it was invalid. I trust that a "real" loginwindow.app and the other file (i.e., taken from a Macbook running an up-to-date leopard) won't work either, right? those are the only ones I can access to. Unless there is a way to fetch those files from the Zephyroth's instalation disc - do you think it is doable?

I suppose this patch can fix our troubles. It's on another thread on this forum:

than put patches on your desktop
than boot -s
than type
mount -uw /
cd /users/yourusername/desktop/patches
./replace.sh
./patcher cpuid.txt
quit
reboot

this is the patches folder for time machine update
Can't test it until next monday, but I'll post my results then! Thanks bhast2!

:( it won't work... the command ./patcher cpuid.txt fails, telling me it cannot read the information from there... any clues?

You need to move the patches folder to the root of the hard drive. Now boot into single user mode with the -s flag and type:
Code:
mount -uw /
cd patches
./patcher cpuid.txt
reboot

Correction - it works just fine! just a problem with the copy from Windows to MAc using TransMac (something to do with permissions, i suppose). copied the zip, unzipped it in the Mac shell and voila! It's done :)

Cheers!
