The smaller updates contain only what Apple thinks is necessary to your particular configuration. While this generally works fine, this method has been known to cause problems. Using the combo update is viewed as more reliable because it is guaranteed to contain all the files that you could possibly need to update a system from any previous 10.5 revision level.
Oh dear God FINALLY! Hopefully this is the end of wireless dropouts/slow connections for good. This is already the best sub-point release ever.
EDIT: Wow, yes it did. Speeds are ridiculously fast now. Oh I'm so happy
No, it's not just you. Things are seriously fast in Safari now.
MBA, iMac & MBP updated without issue. Nothing new. Mehhh.
Still get lousy random force quits on Word '04.

BTW: the option is called "Zoom using trackpad" and is in the Advanced tab of the Finder preferences. Also, if you are using your notebook in clamshell mode, the option is not displayed.
Say what?
Um, huh? So, Microsoft - who has offered zero initiative and advancement to computer technology in what amounts to an eon in the tech field - is OK because they cannot keep up. And Apple is at fault because they are ahead of the curve? So, what you are really saying is let's regress so the stragglers can catch up. I have to disagree. I mean really - Spaces? That's too hard?
My OS is working quite well, thank you. I'd be interested in who/what you are comparing the Leopard OS to, in order to suggest it is not functioning properly.

I have a Mack-Book 2.2GHz 2Gb ram 120 HDD and try to update using the Software Update. It download well but when I tried to install it, just keep showing the blue screen and the circle running almost for an hour and a half...
Do I have any chance to recover my data?
Because I don´t have the back up done 
I have done this a few times in the past and literally just applied the update on top of the previous install and didn't do anything special. You should be just fine.
Ok...
Installed it for my Mac Pro.
It proceeded to reboot.
Now whenever it's starting up it'll show the Apple logo with the spinner for a lil' while and then just instantly turn off. No error messages, nothing, just turns itself off.
When I put in the Leopard disk to try and repair the disk it won't let me - the button is grayed out - ... and yes, I selected the system volume.
How do I fix this?

No, there ain't no extra work to do
EDIT: Man are you guys fast...
cheers for the help
, and yeh they are fast! 
Updated without any problem using the combo update in safe mode. Checked for the Mobileme update feature and it works! Changed an address on my MBP and within 1-2 minutes the change was visible on my iPhone.
Very happy.
Very happy.
Agreed. Just updated two machines here and had absolutely no issues with either one.
Thanks Eric. So, is it better to apply the combo running safe mode after cleaning all chaches, or is this overkill/not necessary?
MacBook SR and mac mini updated fine here. An Xserve update also went well. Moving on to the rest shortly.
Mid-2006 MacBook Pro, Core Duo, ATI Radeon X1600
Desktop immediately after booting after installing update:
![]()
2 distorted pixel lines on the bottom. They still disappear and reappear in various places throughout all apps. Also seeing a couple random pixel glitches in the black bars of YouTube videos. Looks as if you have a stuck pixel- except it only happens on YouTube videos.

that's what I did on my laptops, I used the combo update as always and everything went fine.
online banking broken
I updated to 10.5.6
Now safari won't behave when I try to log into my online banking account.

Something has changed that means the bank's servers aren't happy with how safari talks to them.
It's equally likely that it's a problem with the bank's online system never having been 100% up to date, but it did work yesterday.
