Mac OS X 10.3.9: Updating prebinding for miscellaneous issues

by CNET staff

One workaround that has proved useful for a number of Mac OS X 10.3.9 issues is performing a prebinding process with one of a number of maintenance utilities, such as OnyX or sterMachine.

You can also perform this procedure by opening Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities/) and typing this command, followed by the enter key:

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force

MacFixIt reader Mark writes "I manually updated the prebinding on my 10.3.9 update, and it seems to have resolved a couple of issues listed on the main page... Specifically my java based apps seem to be running OK now (Acquisition, several web based java applets that were not working)."
