I suggest you always check the App Store (should be in your Dock).
And then click on Updates.

Hi Pat.

It is always good to be cautious.
I just checked the App Store and there is a 10.13.4 update.
Also updates for Pages, Numbers and Keynote.

Thank you for the heads up !

Combo update?

2018-03-30 Thread Pat
Just received an email from ‘Maintain’, email address: i...@maintain.se 
<mailto:i...@maintain.se>, recommending a combo update to High Sierra 10.13.4,  
and providing a link. 

With all the clever scams these days, I did not want to click this. I looked on 
the Apple website and could not find any reference to a combo update. Also 
looked at the App Store — no mention of a 10.13.4 update.

Is there such a link on Apple’s site?

Hi Susan,

I haven't had any problems since installing OS X 10.5.7. I did  
install the Combo, I didn't install using Software Update.
I always install the Combo versions of OS updates. The Mac OS X  
Update Combo is 729MB size. It installed without any hiccups and I  
have not experienced any problems so far.
It took approx. 14 mins to install and does two restarts (so don't  
panic when it seems to hang a bit after the first restart).

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: 10.5.8 Link to Combo Update

2009-08-06 Thread Ronda Brown

Hey Andrew,

My family and friends say Thank goodness there is ONLY ONE of me!

Seriously though, if you are following my advice  don't forget to  
Repair Permission after you have installed  OS X 10.5.8 update  
(whether Combo or through Software Update).

The install took about 15mins on my 17 MacBook Pro.
The Repair Permissions took 22 mins.
A very lot of Permissions Differ, so best to do the Repair  
Permissions (you should always after an update to the Operating System).


Cheers,
Ronni

17 MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo
2.4 GHz / 4GB / 800MHz / 500GB

OS combo update

2006-08-07 Thread Michael Hawkins
I have a G3 PowerBook. A friend has a Mac Mini (Bought June 2005). We both
run OS 10.4. My friend has a slow internet connection. Can I download the
latest OS 10.4.7 combo update to my PowerBook, save it to a thumb-drive, and
load it onto her  Mac Mini?

Thanks,

Michael Hawkins.

Yes.

If you download the Combo updates from Apple's Support page, yes you  
can... these combo updates have everything in them to support any  
version of Mac OS 10.4.x (ie you can go from 10.4.1 (or .2, .3, or  
even .0, etc all the way to the current version.


In your case you fine with the PPC vs Intel versions as you both have  
PPC machines... but if your friend had an Intel machine and you had a  
PPC, you could download the Intel Combo update for them and copy on  
to a thumbdrive and deliver it to them... You just couldn't run it on  
your machine.


NOTE: DO NOT try using updates downloaded via Software Update on  
other machines.

G3 Powerbook ! Likely USB1.1   ?  Very slow to load Gb of data on a 
Thumb drive !


You don't say what model  ... does it have Firewire ?

You could connect Powerbook to Mini via firewire in Target Disk Mode
which would give you a fast copy of the   dmgfile .

Go to  Help in the finder  ... select Mac Help ,
type in Target Disk Mode and search .

You should find a file giving you a description on how to set it up .

10.4.7 combo update

2006-06-30 Thread Ronda Brown

Hi WAMUGers,

I used the Combo OSX10.4.7 to update three computers here.

On two I noticed after installing the Combo update that Safari   
Preferences  General

that'Open safe files after downloading'
had reverted back to the default setting of this being ticked.

It was unchecked on all machines prior to doing the update.

Cheers,

Re: 10.4.7 combo update

2006-06-30 Thread Holipac info

Ronni, I checked my settings and it has remained unticked.

One thing I have noticed since 10.4.7 was installed is an outbound  
network request from a process called dashboardadvisory, to an  
address eg-www.apple.com  (this is reported by Little Snitch).
This looked pretty strange, however eg-www.apple.com has the same IP  
address as Apple, so it appears to be a new part of the Dashboard  
framework.


Don't know if anyone else has encountered this, I can't see any  
references to it (bar 1 very obscure chinese language site).


Regards,

Glenn.
