OS X 10.1.1 update
Alan Zisman
on my iMac. When trying to install it onto my iBook, however, it gets
as far as looking at the drives-- and shows all drives greyed out and
unusable.
As a result, I'm unable to proceed any further.
Ideas?

enough room to load the update. If you move the cursor over one of the
grayed out drives it will tell you why you can't load it there.

Lots of room on the drive (5.33 Gb free out of 9.36 Gb)-- moving the
cursor over the HD gives no information that I can see... So I'm still
stumped-- and unable to apply the update. (I was (obviously!) able to
update to 10.1.0).

There are some intermediate updates you need to do first from 10.1. One is
the Security Update, and the second is the Installer update. Did you install
those yet?

Not yet-- interestingly, the Software Update system preference fails
to connect, although Internet access otherwise is working fine... I
manually downloaded those from www.apple.com/macosx.
The Security Update worked, and after that, the Installer update
worked (it didn't if run first).
Following those, the disk was also available for the 10.1.1 update--
which proceeded to completion.
After the restart, Software Update, however, still fails to connect:
"Software Update is not able to connect to the Internet. Please check
your configuration and try again"
Any ideas on what I should be checking for on that one? As I've said,
Web, e-mail, ftp, telnet, etc. all seem to be working as advertised.
(I connect to a cable modem via a router).
Thanks!

The 10.1.1 update is also available for download from Apple, so you don't
have to worry if Software Update misbehaves. Give it a try and see.

Yes but....
The difficulty is having to manually check regularly for updates, and
install them in the right order.
As we just saw, with 3 updates (10.1.1, Installer update, Internet
security update), one had to be installed first, in order for the
other two to work.
And since I had heard about the 10.1.1 update, I went for that one
(manually), ignoring the other two-- assuming, incorrectly, that they
would have been rolled into 10.1.1.
A regular, behind the scenes, (functioning) Software Update feature is
very worthwhile.

Apple should include in every disk image a Read Me file that lists
hardware and software requirements, or the installer script should
display such information when run.

I tried Software Update again tonight, without having changed any
settings (not seeing any settings to change, since all other
Net-related stuff worked fine).
Oddly, it worked-- suggesting I update AirPort and Internet Explorer
5.1 (even with no AirPort installed).
Another computing mystery-- why it didn't work initially, and then why
it started working!

This might be why it is inconsistent.
