Besttechie Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I installed it on both my Mac Pro and Macbook yesterday and it went smoothly. No issues here. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carnevil Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 The update is stable so far on my MBP, the only problem I had was installing it through software update, but you already know about that hitest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carnevil Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 What kind of problems with software updates? I've never had any problems.A lot of other people are having the problem of the update stalling during configuration. I let mine sit for over 2 hours and it didn't do anything. After a restart I downloaded the combo update and the install worked just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 So what did you have to do to back out of the install, just shut down manually? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carnevil Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 So what did you have to do to back out of the install, just shut down manually?Yeah, just held the power button for five seconds, turned it back on and went to apple to grab the update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitest Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Let us know how it goes hitest. BI opted for the combo install.......quite the big honking download:) Ran the installer and after a re-boot everything is fine, no glitches:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isteve Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I found this on Mac Rumors, thought you guys may be interested.(From Mac Rumors)Apple released a technote detailing an issue that some users have run into while installing the latest Mac OS X Software Update.When attempting to update software using Software Update in Mac OS X 10.5, the update process may stop responding while "Configuring installation" is visible in the update window.Apple describes that this may happen when trying to install a partially downloaded update. The work-around is to remove the partially downloaded update and try again. The incomplete update files may be found in "/Library/Updates" and can be safely deleted before trying Software Update again.Alternatively, users can download the Combo update and install it themselves.It seems that the bug resulting in the partially downloaded file affects Mac OS X 10.5.1 through 10.5.5. Once you successfully installed 10.5.6, the issue seems to be fixed for future updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
