The QuarkXPress 5.01 takes one or more hours to complete when updating the QuarkXPress application on a volume that contains many hundreds of other files and folders. While not specific to Mac OS X, this includes volumes on which Mac OS X is installed. The slowdown occurs whether the update is installed in Classic or in Mac OS 9.
Solution
Move the folder containing the QuarkXPress application to a different location on the volume.
2. Give the folder a name such as " Applications" which begins with a space character.
Important: Do not use quotations around the folder name.
3. Drag the folder containing the QuarkXPress application into the newly-created folder.
4. Open the QuarkXPress 5.01 Updater. Follow the update instructions provided by Quark, Inc.
5. After QuarkXPress is updated, drag the folder containing the QuarkXPress application where you'd like to keep it.
