Yes and no. If you are having issues such as lockups, gittering, focus issues, the combo update can fix them or seems to. another issue it fixes this go round and I too had been updating regularly, is where when you run permission repair, there is a file or two it won't repair.

I just ran software update. I had 10.5.5 on there and the only thing it listed was the java update. Which I assume that I have this combo update that David is talking about. I run software update pretty religiously, so I assume that I have it. -- Damon Fibraio screen names -- aol: dfibraio...msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: dfibraio personal music site: http://www.keyboardguy.com.

There are three ways to update. 1> via software update. 2> via the apple web site to get the same update you get via software update. 3> via the apple web site to get the combo update. The combo update makes an assumption that you have not updated since the most recent major update so that you don't have to run all those updates inbetween which you can also do via software update. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Caloggero" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 1:58 PM Subject: Re: combo update deffinitely worth getting: I assume this won't come via the automatic update option? Is this a correct assumption? If I look at "about this mac", I see that its at version 10.5.5; does this mean this update is already installed? Its about 600 megabytes. -- Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by the blind" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 3:52 PM Subject: combo update deffinitely worth getting: Hi all, Before I installed the combo update of osx 4.5.5, I had all kinds of focus issues. I also had braille focus issues worse than any I had seen and this was after going through software update to grab 4.5.5. Running the combo update made things much better. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3486 (20081001) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3486 (20081001) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
