10.5.6 update on Aluminum MB 13" 2.4GHz
Based on some other posts I was a bit worried but it all went well. ~5 mins from start to stop, 2 reboots, no noticeable differences yet.
I'm using the Crucial 4GB upgrade and had a number of random lockups but haven't seen one since the firmware update a week or so ago.
I have had a number of issues with the Airport not connecting to some WiFi networks (United Airlines, my company's wifi, etc.). I'll check on that tomorrow while traveling.

Whenever I have used the combo update I just downloaded and installed it, and everything was fine.
It made a complete mess of my Time Capsule backups - one of the items it was supposed to improve. It couldn't find the volume. I downloaded and installed the Combo Updater - 669MB - and now it's fine.
Same here.. Can't login to HSBC online banking...
grrr.... I was so happy with this update until i saw this.. annoying..
Firefox still works.. So its definitely a Safari issue..
Same here, has been sitting there for 30 minutes so far. Will leave it another hour or two before softreset
How many Apple Updates does it take to change a lightbulb?
1 bloody great big one?
Software update did not work on all four of my MAcs (this is the very first time this has ever happened) What gives??? I even let one sit for two hours.
But the combo install worked fine on all.

Seriously, i've had problems with the 10.5.x to 10.5.x+1 updates since 10.5.1! I wish somebody could give Apple a slap around the head and teach them how to make updates that you know...work!!
That's why I now only ever do the combo updates, and am running 10.5.6 happily now
Annoyed they took away the power saver options under the battery icon, they deserved another slap around the head for that too

Well I would give anything for that cause than I could switch back to OSX working in 3D CAD programs. Anyone realizes better OpenGl performance?
Safe mode stops all other processes from running other then the OS
Combo updates repair any files that have been corrupted in incremental OS updates... Combo updates overwrite existing files.
everything fine here
Installed on both my alumn macbook and intel macmini without issues at all using s/w update. downloading took around 3 mins and installing may be 10 mins with two reboots.

I updated my comp with the 190GB one, It was slow but it went thru all the way. CoD4 ran pretty smooth for an hour, I have to say It did very well, it was so nice that I forgot that I was using the 2.4 iMac with 2400HD card thinking I was using the smallest Mac Pro I have.
Still the game hard crashed my comp and had to force reboot it. That was the only thing I was hoping to be fixed. But at least it let me play almost for an hour and half.
All the other apps, specially video ones; run bit faster

All Good Here
Hi everybody!
Just installed on first gen mac pro and no problems so far! I have noticed Mail.app sounds now play back through the built in system speakers like they used too in Tiger even when you have Line Out selected as main sound output, so it's nice to have that back!!

Ahh I downloaded it extremely quickly through Software Update. It was 190MB. I restarted, but it hanged on the "configuring installation" part. what am i supposed to do? i tried to install it multiple times, I'm still hanging... And where is the update file stored if you downloaded thru Software Update? I'm trying the combo update right now...

I'm glad that I ran upstairs to put my clothes away while it was loading - I got back to the computer just about 5 mins later and heard my imac "ding" reboot. It gave me a bit of a shock, but everything seems to be working fine. Here's hoping that the airport stays in touch with my imac and apple tv for good now so I don't have to keep running upstairs and unplugging and replugging the airport daily!
