Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update

Well, My update utility just bounced at me this morning with 10.5.6. On 3! 1.... 2.... 3!

For all of what 10.5.6 does: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3194

I don't know why, but this update crashed my MacBook :(

Wow, glad I held off on the update.

No problems with the actual update for me. The only strange thing I had was that I had to reinstall and restart TWICE before it loaded..

There is a new Trackpad icon and option in the System Prefs app for people using the new Macbooks...

Other than that there don't seem (at first glance) to be many in your face changes.... Lots behind the scene as briefed in the release

Actually, I believe the new icon is for all Apple portables. I have a 1.67GHz G4 (the last revision 15" before the Intel switch) and I have that icon. There might be new options for the MacBook/MacBook Pro machines though, I can't confirm of course.

Hah! We got Identical Machines :). I also got the 1.67GHz PowerBook G4 -- with 1GB of RAM :.

See, people say windows is rubbish, but at least it can update without crashing and burning.

Grab the combined updaters (300+ megabytes) as a download from the Apple Support pages, and run that -- you will have zero problems.

People are having issues with the Software Update updaters, particularly if installing on systems that are not a plain vanilla installation.

I thought you had a Dell. How long have you had a macbook?

I've had no problems with the Software Update 'version', other than a double restart similar to what Raats experienced.
