hey guys...

my macbook was updating new apple software, but ran out of battery halfway and shut down.

after i powered on again, some of my applications won't run. Mail doesn't work, Adium doesn't work, and I also tried looking for software updates, which didn't work.

has this happened to anyone else? does anyone know what's going on? i'm running lepord 10.5.2

thanks for your help.

Damn, I guess that new warning from Leopard to plug in before running an update is worth listening to...hmmm.

Time Machine?

haha... i didn't expect it to install the update. i requested it to "install later", but when i shutdown it started to install. i hoped my battery would last, but it didn't and i didn't have access to power

anyone know how i can fix this?
