I run system 9.2 on an original clamshell ibook and a Ti-400. Whenever I get that message "Software Update found the following...." message I don't know quite what to do. Things are working more or less okay at the moment. Do I let in the new update? Will it improve things or screw it up again??
The latest: on the G3 clamshell it wants to update: Applescript Authoring Support CarbonLib iBook Firmware Airport Sotware (I use an original Airport base station and cards.)
Will I be making a dumb move to let these updates happen next time they show up?
If Software Update shows those updates, then that's because it determined that you need them...
Generally speaking, if what you have works, you don't need to update. But until you do, or until you disable SU, it will continue to tell you that you need those items. It might be a good idea to get them, too.
Not necessarily. SU keeps telling me I need the latest iPod software which is only for the new "click-wheel" iPods. I do not own a click-wheel iPod, so how can I NEED an update for a product that I don't have?
I've got a similar problem with iPod software - I don't even have an iPod and most of my Macs don't have iTunes installed. I still get the SU message that I need to update my iPod software. Harumph.
I guess it's time to disable SU forever. There will be no more genuine Apple software updates for OS 9, so there's no point in running the SU software if I'm completely up to date on the OS...
Peace, Drew
