I installed this update and it WIPED out my MacBook Pro, I mean Wiped, my MBP will not even boot up. I'm hacked, so much stuff gone. I backed up last week but there is still a ton of stuff gone. I'm trying to get in touch with Apple but there tech support is down for the night. For now I would say don't install this update.

Man that sucks HARD. No idea what happened. I upgraded my PowerBookG4 without a hitch. Sorry to hear it.

Anyone else having trouble downloading this? I know my connection is fine and the download is going very slow and has timed out twice. I guess I'll do it later.
Edit: Restart did the trick.

Nope, no idea. The install went fine, it said I had to reboot which I did. Now all I get is the Apple logo and the spin circle an that's it. After about 2-3 minutes my fan kicks in to the point it sounds like a jet engine so I wait and wait and finally I hold the power button down and just turn the MBP off.

Hmm, this is unfortunate. I've heard of this happening to others today on other boards.
I, on the other hand, was able to install the upgrade with no problems on my Macbook. I'll probably do it to our G4 Mini tomorrow, and if there are any problems I'll definitely post, but otherwise this was a pretty smooth upgrade. My Cleardock is still working on my Macbook, as well.
You don't have any USB devices connected when you start up do you?

Leave it running. It takes about 5 or 6 minutes to sort itself out - you're just turning it off before it finishes!
By the way, the best thing about this release is that the print dialogue boxes now appear pretty much straight away in Rosetta apps.

I left it running for 1/2 hour and nothing so that is not it. Here is the good news. The IT guy where I work has done much data recovery for the State Police so he is making a mirrored image of my entire HD and can pull data from that. The software that our IT guy is using showed immediately that the boot sector was corrupted so that is why it won't boot up.
I also called Apple Tech support to explain what happened and they said to do a custom install of just OS-X and it will not touch the data. He further said that it is best to get the data, files, etc... off of the HD then do a fresh install of the OS. So far I was the only one that this happened to but the are going to red flag this tech call in case there are others. Let this be another warning to all, back-up your data. My last back-up was a week ago, so from that stand point I'm in pretty good shape except for quite a few important emails, which our IT guy said he should be able to recover.
