The reason I ask is that I had a problem with an iBook G3/466MHz running Panther where one day it just refused to start and to fix it I had to reinstall OS 9 over the Panther installation, then upgrade it from OS 9.2.2 to 10.3.9. Have you tried re-installing the OS you were using prior to the OS X 10.4 upgrade? It seems odd that you were successfully running all those apps until you tried to upgrade to 10.4.11.
INDESIGN FOR MAC OS X 10.4.11 UPDATE
The iMac was now starting up fine and I installed the Adobe Suite and QuarkXPress - however - none of these Applications apart from Photoshop will now work on my computer, which makes me think that the system software update for 10.4.11 has seriously damaged the hard disk. I then wanted to update the system back to 10.4.10, as previoulsy, but this operation failed and I had to re-install OS X 10.4 again.
INDESIGN FOR MAC OS X 10.4.11 INSTALL
The solution for my problem seemed to be, to link up my computer with another mac and start up in Target Mode in order to rescue all data, erase the disk and clean install OS X 10.4 in order to start from scratch. I researched this problem on the Internet at work and came across an article on the Macworld website which stated that the 10.4.11 update harms some Boot Camp Systems ( ).
I have tried resetting the PRAM, but to no avail. On starting up my computer the next day I just got a small black box in the middle of a blue screen and the computer would not start up any further. Last week I tried to update from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 (along with an iTunes and Quicktime update) and this operation failed twice. I have upgraded this to version 10.4.10 over the last few months and was successfully running several applications on this system (Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and QuarkXPress). I am using a G3 slot loading 600 MHz iMac on which I installed OS X 10.4 last year.
