Version History

Apple 10.4.7 update addresses known cross-platform problems. June 30, 2006 – Earlier this week, Apple released Mac OS X 10.4.7 for PowerPC and Intel Macs. Apple said that the update fixes a number of cross-platform problems, including problems with AFP file sharing, Active Directory, and uninstalling Virtual PC. The update also includes new security updates for the client and server versions of Mac OS X.

The 10.4.7 update includes several fixes to the AFP protocol. It fixes the 10.4.6 problem of Adobe Photoshop and Quark apps crashing (unexpectedly quitting) when saving files to an AFP server. The problem occurred on non-apple AFP servers, such as Microsoft’s Services for Macintosh for Windows servers.

The update also fixes a problem that deletes files on a mounted AFP volume when duplicating them in the Finder. Another AFP fix prevents a "Bad file descriptor" error when accessing an AFP volume in Terminal, copying a file using the cp command to copy a file to the server.

Apple also said that the 10.4.7 update has a few Active Directory fixes:

* Resolves an issue that prevented users with Active Directory accounts from logging in if "Use UNC path from Active Directory" was enabled.
* Resolves an issue in which Intel-based Macs could not bind to Active Directory when multiple domain controllers are available.

The built-in VPN client now supports group membership on Cisco VPN servers.

On PowerPC Macs, the upgrade fixes a problem with uninstalling Microsoft Virtual PC. Apple says the VPC installer will no longer unexpectedly quit during an uninstall.

Apple said that Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy. It also improves the retrieval of IMAP messages with attachments over unreliable connections.

Apple article number 303771 lists the fixes since version 10.4.6.
