Introduction

It's that time of year again. For threeconsecutiveyears, Apple has released major updates to what is now definitively The One True Apple Operating System: Mac OS X. The 10.1 release was a compiled-binary apology for 10.0, distributed for free to the brave Mac OS X pioneers. Version 10.2 came dressed for success, wearing its code-name on its sleeve in a fur-themed box. Sporting significant architectural improvements such as rendezvous and Quartz Extreme, pride was a big part of Jaguar's message.

Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, released on October 23, 2003, solidifies Apple's yearly operating system update strategy: another year, another +0.1, another US$129. As with 10.2, qualifying customers who have purchased new Mac hardware recently can upgrade to 10.3 for 'free' (which means 'US$19.95 for shipping and handling' in Apple's world.)

It's strange to have gone from years of uncertainty and vaporware to a steady annual supply of major new operating system releases from Apple. But some important questions quickly follow. Do I really want to pay US$129 every year for the next version of Mac OS X? Worse, do I really want to deal with the inevitable upgrade hassles and 10.x.0 release bugs every single year? Just as the 10.2.x code base was finally settling down (the botched 10.2.8 release notwithstanding), the Mac community is asked to start all over again with 10.3.0.

Is it worth it, or is a major OS upgrade every year simply too much, too often? Would things be different without the $129 price tag? Or is Panther well worth its price tag and potential time investment? Well, it is 0.1 more, isn't it?

Before you upgrade

  1. Startup your computer normally, connect to the Internet, and runSoftware Update,in theSystem Preferencesapplication (under theApplemenu) and download and install any OS or security updates.Don't bother withiLifeupdates (iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDvd, iCal, iSync,etc.) as new versions are on the 10.3 installation CD.
  2. Permissions on system files should be verified. This is most efficiently done while running from the hard disk.

    If you are running any version of Mac OS X 10.2, open theDisk Utilityprogram (found in the Utilitiessubfolder of the Applicationsfolder). Select your Macintosh hard drive (or the partition containingMac OS X, if you have more than one partition), click on theFirst Aidtab, and then click on the Repair Permissionsbutton.

    If you are running Mac OS X version 10.1.5, download and run theRepair Privileges Utility 1.1from Apple's web site at

    This utility isonlyfor Mac OS X version 10.1.5, which was the last updateto the 10.1 system(if you started with an earlier version of Mac OS X 10.1, it shouldhave been upgraded to 10.1.5 in the first step).

  3. Install any firmware updates need for your Macintosh model.
    • Check theMac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updateson Apple's web site at
    • If a firmware update is available for your Macintosh, click on the numberin theDownload Document No.box.
    • Apple will direct you to a new page. Download and install the firmware update.
    • If the firmware update is already installed or your Macintosh waspurchased after the date of the update release, you will get anerror message when you run the firmware installer. If thishappens, your machine is already up to date and you canproceed. Your system is not harmed.
  4. Startup from theMac OS X Panther Version 10.3 Install Disc 1CD. Insert the CD, and restart the computer while holding down theCkey to start your computer from the CD.
  5. After the installer loads, run theDisk Utilityprogram (located under theInstallermenu) to repair any disk directory problems.Such problems can cause the upgrade to fail.
    • AfterDisk Utilityopens, select your Macintosh hard drive and click theRepair Diskbutton.
    • IfDisk Utilityreports an error that it cannot fix, you will need to use a more powerful program such asDiskWarriorto repair the drive. Do not proceed with system upgrade untilyou have completely repaired the drive. Submit aHelpSU request if you need assistance with disk repair, at
    • QuitDisk UtilityandInstaller,checkStartup Diskto verify that your hard disk is selected for startup,and restart your computer normally.
  6. Create a complete bootable backup of your hard disk (or systempartition) to another disk drive (or partition), if a largeenough one is available, using the free programCarbon Copy Cloner,available at

    If you cannot backup your entire hard disk, back up your homedirectory, which contains your documents and personal settings,to some other medium such as Zip, CD, etc.

  7. If you have an external firewire disk, check the manufacturer's web site to see if it needs a driver update to run smoothly with Mac OS X 10.3.Problems have been reported with some external firewire drives.
  8. InSystem Preferences,selectLogin Itemsand delete any items from the list -- you don't want your newsystem to try to start old incompatible applications. Afterthe upgrade, verify that these applications run correctlybefore adding them back to yourLogin Itemslist.
  9. Deactivate any anti-virus programs, such asSymantec (Norton),McAfeeorStuffit AVR.Check for updated versions before re-enabling after the upgrade.
  10. DisableMacLelandsingle sign-on andAFS,to avoid login problems after upgrade. These can be re-enabled after youre-installMacLeland.
