Update Went Smoothly

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Recommend Product: YES

I just installed Leopard on several MacBooks and MacBook Pros. I've had no problems with this update.

Let me make a suggestion. This is very likely 98% overkill, but it always works like a charm when updating the system software on my Macs. I hope this suggestion helps:

I download the entire combo updater from the Apple-->Support-->Download page (I know this is overkill, but the combo updaters always seem to cause fewer complications).

Then, I repair permissions.

I restart with Safe Boot mode (hold down the shift key when restarting).

Install the combo updater.

Restart the system.

Repair permissions, and then restart again.

Update Went Smoothly - AGREE - RPR44

Same here on my MacBook (Late 2007) with 4 GB RAM. Started from OS X 10.5.3, repaired permissions, Safe Booted to install combo updater, then another permissions repair after update is fully installed. No problems so far.
