Apple Releases iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger)

Shortly after posting the original iMac Software Update 1.2 for Tiger, Apple quietly pulled the update off their site.

Today, Apple has posted a new iMac Software Update, now at version 1.2.1.

This update is for 20-inch and 24-inch aluminum iMac computers with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors running Mac OS X Tiger.

It improves the performance and reliability of graphics-intensive games and applications and fixes an issue that some customers encountered when installing Mac OS X Leopard after applying iMac Software Update 1.2.

It appears that this may only address the Leopard upgrade bug that was introduced in the original 1.2 update, and several users still claim their iMac exhibits freezing behavior.
