Snow Leopard Update Troubles
 

I cant my Snow Leopard GM 10 10.6.1 Any ideas why?


Any information would be greatly appreciated :)


I need to update so that I can fix the permission repair error.:(

Be more descriptive, what's the problem/error you're receiving?

Run "System Profiler" then select "Software" from the left had side list of options. The main window on the right should change are say "System Software Overview:". Copy and paste what it says under that heading here.

What are you looking for exactly I wont be able to do as subjested until tomorrow.
What i your theory?

I want to know exactly which build you're running. I don't think 10.6.1 will work with non-retail copies (i.e. developer seeds) of the final build.

Either that or you've already installed 10.6.1 and you haven't noticed ;)

Do you know how I could patch the update or force it to update somehow?


I installed this i think- SnowOSX Universal 10.6 GM (10a432) v3.5 Eng (it might be the 3.4?)


I am reinstalling now on my laptop, I am using the GUID partition scheme , The MBR partition map gave me so many problems....


Could this be the problem?

No idea.
I know nothing about that release. Just because it says "10a432" doesn't mean it's a retail build. As I said before, I think you can only upgrade developer builds using upgrades designed to work with them and aimed at Apple developers. As 10a432 was the build that got turned into retail disks, their weren't anymore upgrades sent out. You've got to remember, 10a432 got released in two flavours, as a developers seed, and as the retail disc.
If your copy is a retail copy, all you can do is suck it and see :)

You can use Pacifist to extract the files from the package.
