Hi Peter, If you take the necessary precautions - Repairing Permissions - Repair Drive - and BACKUP - Turn Time Machine OFF - disconnect all devices from your Mac etc - before installing the Combo 10.10.2 over top of your installation you should be fine.
The Combo updates <Apple Downloads> contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted. Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a bad 10.10.2 install from a regular update, just run the 10.10.2 Combo Updater on that system. Yosemite 10.10.2 Combo Update <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1786?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1786?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US>> Post Date: Jan 28, 2015 File Size: 840.3 MB Cheers, Ronni > On 3 Feb 2015, at 3:26 pm, Peter Curtis <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ronni > Can you re install 10.10.2 via Combo update over the previous installation of > 10.10.2 via software update?
