I was hoping for an update to Airport. Still running 7.3.2 waiting on a 7.4.2 to come out. My two macs updated with software update perfectly.
Got a tip for us?

OMG thank you, apple! I've been waiting for a long time for a Safari 4 update. It has been crashing at least 10 times a day. I was losing my mind! Let's hope the update fixes the crashing problem.
doubtful... its build number went up .01 which is most likely to be 10.5.7 compatible
Bad Digi Sig? Restart.
I was seeing Download Time Remaining as high as 24 hours, as low as 2 hours - eventually settling somewhere around 5 hours.
Then about 20 minutes into the download, I received the above message.
So I selected OK, Quit Software Update, Restarted my MacBook (2.16 GHz C2D, 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM) and relaunched Software Update.
This time, it took ~5 minutes to download & install 10.5.7.
Not sure what the hang up was, but Restarting seemed to fix. For me.
Good luck.

The word that comes to mind is SILKY.
GO!!!!!!!!
Silky is the new snappy?
I'm going to download and test later. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if this fixes the problem with MS Word and Spaces? I've actually stopped using Word because of it.
I'm very disappointed with Apple. Come on. How hard does it take to make sure the update works for people? I've never had any problems with any update until now.
Blue screen froze for about 30 min so I had to force shutdown, then it rebooted 3 times and now I finally see my desktop.
Seriously...

i just got OWNED by the 5.7 update.
I installed it off of apple's site (because it wouldn't let me through Software Update), installed,then restarted. When it was shutting down the screen alternated between a few shades of blue and a white screen every like 10 seconds for about an hour. I had no other choice but to pull the plug. I tried to boot back up but it wouldn't probably due to corruption so now i am on a PC waiting for my mac to restore Leopard from the DVD.

Broken Record
That's just it though. There have been a LOT of people who are telling every one of these guys who are having the strange installs to A) Use the Combo update and/or B) Repair permissions. This has been repeated again and again in this thread as well as the one that died.
I actually want to talk about some of the aspects of the update but it keeps getting flooded out by posters who are posting nothing of value other than than screenshots of the permission error. Consider yourself lucky if this is the first time that this has ever happened to you and take either or both of the solutions that are being proffered.
Back to the update, yeah, 1080p on my 2.5Ghz Penryn 4GB RAM 8600GT 512MB is noticeably smoother than it was before. ITunes store has always been absurdly slow and not noticing any differences. Safari 4 Beta, feels the same as the previous Safari 4 Beta.
while I agree that the combo is the superior download, the regular update through software update is sufficient for most users. the combo update is most useful if you have problems... but if your current install isn't giving you problems, there really isn't any reason why software update won't give you a problem-free update.
but, if an issue arises, the combo will likely fix it

all clear
Before, I had the 'digital signature' error that everyone was getting from the software update download. Repaired disk permissions, restarted and my os upgrade went smoothly there after. no hard reboots or any weird errors. safari 4 update went smoothly too. we'll see how everything pans out as far as performance issues. good so far.

While this is so true and backup is always recommended, somehow I also feel it's strange to have to worry about possible problems when I'm installing something that is supposed to fix issues. I know a point upgrade is kind of big and could cause a problem, but still...
I agree. The ironic thing is that Microsoft updates work flawlessly on my Windows installations. For some reason, Microsoft updates "just work".
Yeah that sucks
My issues were insignificant compared to what your system is doing.
Obviously you've tried restarting with no screen plugged in and then plugging it in, right?
Sorry I can't help more.
And yours is actually a VALID issue, and pretty unique as well.
ok wow, i just tried installing this and got the error. im not going out of my way to install it either, apple better get this fixed so i can update straight from software update. this is ridiculous. very un-applelike, this is supposed to just work.

Hey gang I installed 10.5.7 and this popped up. What should i do?
Looks like your graphics card needs moving into where the Sonnet is...
I've never had a problem with any Vista updates. I think one has an advantage running it under boot camp as one knows there aren't going to be any driver issues - no weird finger-print scanner that never gets driver updates to allow sp1 to even show up, nothing like those sorts of stories that went around.
No, Vista updates have always just worked - Vista overall has in fact.
Mind you, I've never had a problem with an OS X update either. I get each one the day it comes out, except I was lucky enough to be away and offline when the nasty 10.2.7 update came out and messed things up for a lot of people.
Nice to see specific points about improving dashboard widgets, but I don't imagine they've fixed the iTunes widget crash - I'll install it when I get home and find out, and either I'll get to submit feedback on it for the 20th time, or it will be fixed ... win win imo.
I'm getting the same digital signature error. It's ridiculous, I've about decided Apple is incapable of doing anything right anymore. Mobile Me all over again. Well, since I'm using Windows 7 under Boot Camp 95% of the time now, to heck with the update. I may get around to installing in a month or so, when/if they get the problems fixed.
