Tell me about your 10.4.6 problems

Vipir,
As others have found on Macintouch, it appears that in ExtremeZ-IP situations, using case sensitive usernames and passwords works better with 10.4.6 than case insensitive usernames and passwords. This may be an issue with how ExtremeZ-IP is handling 10.4.6's networking structure. I would contact ExtremeZ-IP's author and inform them of the issues you are having with their software on the update.

Then it may be how your router or firewall is handling AFP on your server. Or it could be a bad networking preference or cache file, or the wrong ports open on the firewall. Since it is happening with AFP, I'd see what suggestions people have on the Getting Online and Networking board:

I have very limited experience with AFP, only know it seems to be working fine in a computer to computer Firewire over IP network I have at home.

It may be just one piece of the network that isn't communicating right. Try moving a 10.4.5 machine onto the same ethernet cable the 10.4.6 machine is on. If that works right, then check that the network preferences are identical on both machines. If they are identical, it may be an issue simply with that computer's network chip that needs resetting (i.e. resetting the NVRAM and PRAM), a bad preference, or some software using the network simultaneously like iTunes or iPhoto sharing that is interfering with the network traffic. Try to simplify the situation as much as possible. Identify potential software conflicts first, and see if you can eliminate all of them. Then if all of them don't pass the muster work your way on up to hardware.

When I updated to 10.4.6, I got a Blue Screen of Death after restarting. I had to reinstall the entire OS and then install the update (and a bunch of other apps) before everything worked properly. Not happy.

Kris,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!

That is not normal. Though what you had was not a "blue screen of death." It might have been one of the issues outlined by this article even though it is said for 10.3.9 or earlier:

If you want to upgrade again for any specific need, see my FAQ:

And if that doesn't help, please post a new topic telling us what you tried at this link:

P.S. Please to any other posters here, this thread was not really a poll of asking for 10.4.6 problems. It is a thread to try and solve some AFP issues that our friend Vipir had with his system. If you have suggestions, please feel free to contribute.

I see you have changed your profile from Uranus to the South Pole. Just a tad warmer!

Anyway, what if you save to desktop and then copy over to the Finder those files?

Ah, so it would appear that Photoshop is the outlier here, not the Finder. It is one of those crazy three way conflicts, where all three participants are necessary to make it happen. I'd let Adobe know of your issues. Not easy, but doable.

I understand. It just is appearing that Adobe Photoshop CS 2 may be in need of an update to correspond with the Finder in situations where AFP is running like your own. Too many cooks. Until it does, you can either as you say downgrade, or just use the Finder to make your copies instead of Photoshop. And do be sure to let Adobe know of your issues.
