Apple re-releases Mac OS X 10.4.7 for Intel
AppleInsider StaffApple Computer forgot to include some files with its Intel distribution of Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update and is issuing a revised updater, the company said in an email on Thursday.
Only the package that upgrades a Mac OS X v10.4.6 (Intel) system to Mac OS X v10.4.7 (Intel) is being changed, Apple said. All other Mac OS X v10.4.7 install packages remain unchanged.
So far, the revised updater has not appeared on Apple's Web site or through Software Update. The company said the new package will bear the name MacOSXUpd10.4.7Intel.dmg and carry an SHA1 checksum of "10aa57dfccd63accb0939a894cea202a8910fb45."
It's currently unclear whether those users who have already installed Mac OS X 10.4.7 on their Intel Macs will need to re-update or if they will be issued a patch with the missing files.
Apple did state that the change being made to the install package does not affect the security fixes provided in the package.
