I updated a Mac G5 desktop from 10.5.2 to 10.5.8. When I finished I realized I had used the server version of the combo updater instead of the regular one. The machine seems to be running OK. Will this cause problems and how should I fix it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan anybody help me in how to update the MAC OS X 10.5.4 to 10.5.8, using COMBO UPDATE. I had downloaded the mac os x combo update for developing applications for iphone using sdk.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a Pro Tools system, and they strongly recommends using the combo update. The problem is I allready have the normal update installed on my imac. So my question is if I can download and install the combo update, even though i'm allready running 10.5.6 trough the normal update?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRight after I ran the 10.5.5 Combo update my computer went haywire. I'm getting random -50 errors left and right. All kinds of stablility problems are showing up. I can't make folders. I can't copy and paste. I tried to download something from safari and it said I didn't have enough disk space even though I have over 250GB free. Then when I try to restart I spun on the grey screen for hours. Tried to reinstall the OS from the disk and it failed. Lost a lot of files. I switched users and my external HDs unmounted and couldn't come back. It's gotta be the update right? I heard of about 4 other people who use their computers in completely different fashions who all had the same or close variations to these problems when they installed the new updates.
Anyone experiencing this or am I crazy?
Is it worth it? Are all the bugs out? Pros/Cons?
View 2 Replies View Relatedim trying to update my 10.4.11 Mac osx on my macbook pro with the 10.4.9 combo update (intel) I have 40 gigs of free space on my harddrive. Ive tried the repair disk permissions and have downloaded the update directly from the apple site. I keep gettting this message (with a red exclamation mark):
"You cannot install Mac osx update combined(intel) on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this upddate"
Dear members the one thing i've neglected to do is install a combo update to my intel imac. Is it to late and should I do it asap?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter downloading the 10.5.8 Combo update I click on it to launch and I get an error message that the .dmg failed to mount b/c it was "not recognized".
What should I do?
I've been having some issues with Mail (long story- anything after an image or an attachment in a message I create is showing up as a .htm or .txt file) and one suggestion that someone made was to download the 10.6.2 combo update and try to reinstall it to ensure that everything is all up to snuff.
Strangely, when I DL'd the combo update and tried to run it, my hard drive showed up with an exclamation mark and said I couldn't install it. Can one typically install the update on itself?
Also, is there any chance in heck that it will actually make a difference (friendly wagers here are fine, as I don't expect anyone to know for sure)?
I have SL Mac OS X 10.6.2...
Can I still get the combo update or should I simply get the regular update? I understand that the combo is all of the updates but just trying to see which will be better..

View 7 Replies View RelatedHave a G4 desktop running 10.3.5 that I tried to combo update to 10.3.9. The update was stuck at 30% for a long long time. I just figured it might take awhile and took a nap. I awoke and there was an error message that the update could not be completed. It said to try the update again by downloading it and then opening the package manually. So I was going to do that but a bit later the computer froze up and I had to force shutdown.
Upon booting the screen didn't boot all the way; only partially and then screen goes black. I ran Disk Utility from Install Disk to try to Repair the hard drive. It said keys were out of order. Later it said repair couldn't be completed because of an error.
I am running the Mac now from a Firewire drive with 10.3.2. I want to update the Firewire drive to 10.3.9 and want to make sure the same thing doesn't happen.
i just updated from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8 with the combo update. it now will just hang at the apple logo. i have a dual boot on the same drive with 10.4.11 thus i am able to post this.. disk utility finds no errors. reinstalling is last resort..

Every time I try to download the combo update from Apple I'm getting the message "Mounting Failed." Does anyone have a fix for this or know why this is happening?
View 6 Replies View Relatedi've tried to install 10.5.2 via the software update and directly downloading the update. either way, it eventually says it can't validate the contents of the package.
am i the only one who is not able to install the update? is there a solution to my problem?
I'm installing 10.5.6 on the family MacBook (white) and it was running 10.5.4 previously, yet hanged when I was updating everything (there was a few updates) so I had to force power off. The Mac says it is running 10.5.6, but I wanted to apply the combo update to be safe. However, it fails when installing (it doesn't get to the stage where it reboots, still in OS X at this stage). It says "The installer could not install some files in "/". Also, repairing Disk Permissions failed too. Prior to the update, everything was working fine - I'm usually full of ideas, but when it is your Mac that is playing up I'm very keen to hear what others have to say.

Can anyone confirm?
On my mac developer program it says mac os x 10.6.3 delta update and another one that says combo update. What's the difference?
View 10 Replies View RelatedLong story, but basically I got an "invalid sibling error" on my intel IMac and was told the best fix was to zero the HD and reinstall. I did this and got Leopard running. Now it hangs while I try to update to 5.10.8. I downloaded the combo update from Apple after it failing through system update.
I'm not sure what the issue could be. I've verified the disk, checked it's smart status is ok and run the hardware test from the install disk.
I need to get the App Store working so that I can re-install a Lion upgrade that I already purchased before. I had to replace my HD and now with 10.6.8, the App Store will not open.I have installed the 10.6.8 Combo Update and then done the other software updates through the System Preferences.This still comes up when I try to open App Store: "App store cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure App Store works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just now received my purchased 13.3 inch Macbook Pro model, with BTO 4Gigs RAM, and 250 HDD.
I opened the Macbook pro, and it worked just fine. First thing I did was to enable the WiFi, perform a software update, and update the system using Software Update with the combo update to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (it was 10.6).
Immediately after performing the update and restarting, the computer crashed on startup 3-4 times, and still refuses to boot. It appears this is a kernel panic, with the first line saying "Panic Version mismatch between Kernel and CPU " and some other things like the version of the system and darwin, and the CPU model.
I booted from the DVD without problems, and performed a Disk Repair (which found no problems) and a repair permissions (which also found no errors).
Strange thing: When I selected the "startup disk" application I selected my internal HDD but it displayed 10.6 instead of the recently applied 10.6.2!!
Rebooting still crashes the computer, with the same kernel panic.
I installed 10.7.3 (combo) from 10.7.2 yesterday on my Mac Mini and everything was smooth-ish, a bit of slowness here and there.Â
Today my Mac crashed completely, I couldn't Force Quit the app I was in, nothing. So I held down the power button and did a restart. After I did this, all I got was the grey apple with the spinning wheel for ages and ages, and then got a Kernel Panic screen.Â
I did what it said and restarted again. This time it just repeated and repeated the startup tone, and then going to kernel panic again.
I have tried everything I know of. P-RAM reset, Safe Boot, but nothing works.Â

Tried through Software Update, downloading solo via webpage....each time I get verification falied and/or invalid checksum when launching solo. Â
After installing the combo update on my 5,1 MacBook, my machine upon restart or shutdown, will merely close the menu bar and remove the desktop icons but the dock remains open. After a couple minutes, a message will pop up stating that which ever program was shut down last will not allow the restart or shutdown. Top however doesn't report the program as running. I repaired disk permissions.
