10.6.8 to 10.8 after software update??
My neighobur called me over to see her iMac because apps were quiting unexpectedly. She told me she had a software update the night before.
In doing a problem solving process I checked her system software and it was 10.8. Didn't occur to me until after hours of searching for other problems, that her current software was 10.6.8.
How in the world did she get 10.8 installed as the current software from an update? All of the installed applications were non functional after this update. I had to back up her HDD to an external I had (she had no time machine) then erase, reformat and reinstall 10.6.8 from her disc.
Anyone else heard of this issue? Was it a fubar update from Apple or something else? It just doesn't seem possible to go from Snow Leopard to Lion from an Apple update.
