if i do an archive and install, will that physically remove/uninstall 10.4.7 so that it will free up some hard disk memory or will 10.4.7 sit dormant somewhere...?

See here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120 for all the info on archive and installs.

Ok, I went and done another A&I, Everything was fine after that. I went and updated with the combo installer. Rebooted a few times, all OK. Then, I reset my PRAM to test it, an…

Well, the lines came back again. I called Apple and they want me to do an erase, fresh install and then update. So, I did tonight and guess what? It's still doing it! I'm hoping e…

I just had the lines appear on my install of 10.4.7 as well. I've reverted back to 10.4.6 for the moment and probably won't bother trying to get 10.4.7 going again (since I don't t…

I have had my blacbook since the last week in May with absolutely no problems. Yesterday I updated to 10.4.7 all was fine, and had no problems. Randomly while I was surfing, the …

That sounds so much like what happened to my MacBook. Ended up with new logic board and seems to be working fine now. It would be horrible if 10.4.7 ends up as something that can b…

So... what would be your advice to someone who'll be buying a MacBook in late august...? . and also, what way would you guys recommend I keep track of this subject so I know if it'…

I spoke with Apple today and was given new instructions on a fix for the "colored vertical lines at startup" issue. 1. Shut the computer off. 2. Restart holding the Option-Comma…

It's 'official', eh? So where's Apple's press release on the topic? Couldn't find it. Would you mind posting a link?

Stop being so skeptical. And by the way i didnt get the information from a press release. Anyway it sucks for us who have the defective trackpads, that's the prize we pay for buyi…

I've just got a week 25, so maybe I have this new trackpad. But what exactly is the difference? I would say mine is a similar shade of white to the exterior case, but matte not shi…

The trackpad is serviced as a part of the top case. If your top case were to discolor and be replaced, you would get a newer trackpad (where newer is date of manufacture.) Whether…

I'm confused.. was there something wrong with the previous trackpad?

Yes, the previous trackpad became yellowish after a while.

BS... I have a week 19 white mb and have NO discoloration... you are implying all the pre-25 week macbooks have a "defective" trackpad...

Well all i can say is, the week 1 and week 24 of the Macbook productions have the same trackpad, so if some people have defective trackpads, you should to, why? because there the …

How do I find out which week I have?

I'm not a veteran by any means here, but is it possible to ban Mac Man. I've seen nothing out of his mouth besides implied slander towards apple. While I myself am no apple fan boy…

This is true, I visited my local Apple Store today and the trackpads use to be lighter than the plastic casing now its darker, and smoother. Love it

Juba310, i don't like talking bad about Apple, all i say is the truth . But sometimes the truth hurts. I really like Apple products. All I'm saying is pure facts. There's nothing …
