Comments on: Mac OS X 10.5.3 Update Available http://acamug.org/2008/05/28/mac-os-x-1053/ Atlantic City Area Macintosh Users Group Sat, 24 Dec 2011 02:48:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Bill http://acamug.org/2008/05/28/mac-os-x-1053/comment-page-1/#comment-4091 Bill Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:23:49 +0000 http://acamug.org/?p=204#comment-4091 <p>Just to let you know that the update to a test partition on my Mac Pro did not go quite as smoothly. The installer hung during the "Writing Receipt" phase of the installation and needed to be force quit. After that I attempted to reboot but the reboot process hung during the boot cache rebuild and needed to be powered off. That said, everything SEEMED ok when I rebooted and OS X seemed to install properly. The main difference between this install and the one prior (besides the hardware) is that while I ran a DiskWarrior scan of the drive I forgot to repair permissions.</p> Just to let you know that the update to a test partition on my Mac Pro did not go quite as smoothly.

I did see the 2nd restart and the Fans were working overtime for awhile but back to normal now. I did repair permissions and verify disk before and after. Disk utility displays more info now as permissions are being repaired. Lets you know what is going on.</p> Upgraded my MacBook using the “Delta” updater (my MacBook came with 10.5.2 installed as base system) and every thing seems to work fine.

I think Apple actually documented the reason for this at some point but I can't find it now.</p> <p>And yeah, I always use the Combo Updater and I never have problems after a software update. Could very well be more superstition than fact but it does ensure that the updated files from previous Software Updates are still correctly in place.</p> Didn’t see the extra restart on my MacBook Pro.

And yeah, I always use the Combo Updater and I never have problems after a software update. Could very well be more superstition than fact but it does ensure that the updated files from previous Software Updates are still correctly in place.

I usually apply updates by downloading the COMBO updater and launching it manually rather than using Software Update or using the "delta" updater. I've seen people with update issues that seem to go away when they go back and install the combo updater. It may be more superstition than reality but I VERY rarely have any update problems.</p> I just installed the combo update on my Macbook and things seem to have gone smoothly.
