10.5.2 update "restart computer" issues

Yesterday I installed the Apple 10.5.2 update. Once my computer rebooted, I forgot to hold down the option key to select my apple hard drive, instead my computer booted to windows because I have bootcamp, and it automatically boots to windows unless I hold the option key.
I spent the night using Windows on my computer, then I shut the computer down.
This morning I opened my computer to Leopard, and after the start up screen (grey screen with apple logo) a warning popped up telling me to restart my computer. I restarted, and this same warning keeps appearing. I can not get past it to open leopard. I fear my computer may have crashed during the 10.5.2 update. Windows runs fine right now on my computer, but I would really like to open Leopard. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or know how to get past it.

"and it automatically boots to windows unless I hold the option key."
The proper way that's documented is to use Windows side start up pane to boot back to Leopard. Use Leopard's start up pane to boot back to Windows. So you do an 10.5.2 update which will want to re-start to Leopard but Leopard is not blessed previously in the start up pane.
User induced error. Did the Leopard 10.5.2 installer know that user has to hold option key to boot into Leopard. I don't think that was ever programmed into the installer.

Software Update Restarts Computer Without Installing

Whenever I try to install my software updates manually, I get the screen saying I must restart my computer after the updates are installed. However, when I click on 'Install and Restart' the computer immediately restarts without installing any of the updates. This has happened repeatedly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not certain if this is what you're looking for; apologies if I'm overlooking something:

I seached EVERYWHERE, with lots of stupid long winded possible solutions.
THIS WORKS, and its ONE SIMPLE CLICK... WHY DO APPLE NOT HAVE THIS LISTED ON THE FRONT OF SOLUTIONS
THanks to those who actually know what to do above.

Hello FM-Paris,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your Mac mini. I would be concerned too if my Mac mini was restarting unexpectedly. I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting a recurring kernel panic" in the article below to help isolate and troubleshoot this issue:

RESTART COMPUTER POP-UP WINDOW ISSUE

Please help me help me why I keep getting the same restart computer pop-up window lately with no error message at all even though the software update is completely up-to-date.

Can you describe this "pop-up window" in more detail? Is it the +kernel panic+ message that takes over the screen, has multiple languages, and does not let you do anything else? Or is a a regular dialog widow that you can move around, with normal buttons, that still allows control of the Mac? If the latter, what does the window say, exactly?

My pages are not working on Mountain Lion. I reinstalled iWork from the CD updated it to 9.3 restarted computer and it still doesn't work. What else I can do? Heeelp!

The Pages stop working on my computer when I upgraded OS to Mountain Lion. I reinstalled iWork from CD and updated to 9.3 version from Apple store. I also restarted computer before opening the iWork. It still doesn't work. It keeps giving me the error page. The same thing with Numbers. Only Keynotes opens. What else can I do? Heeelp please!

We are not omniscient. Use screencapture on the error page. Shift + Command + 4 … then drag the cross-hairs around the error, and release. The Screen Shot will be written to your Desktop. Use the camera icon in this editor’s tool bar to embed that Screen Shot of your error in a follow-up post here.
Did you move the Pages and Numbers applications out of /Application/iWork ’09 folder, where they are expected to reside? Did you run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app, and on your boot drive, verify/repair permissions?

My question was just solved Go to library/startup items and delete every file/folder in there. Restart again and wait up to 20 minutes for it to boot. It has to do with Adobe programs (usually Version Cue I think, not necessarily in my case though).

TS1702 Cannot get iPhone 4 to talk with Mac Lion using Numpad. Have updated, restarted etc. Have Screen Sharing on. It sees my computer but when I press keys on the NumPad there is no response. I have tried it on the Calculator and on Sibelius. Any clues?

Here's how to do it.
1. App Store, iTunes Store should have the same AppleID on Computer and iPhones. (Free to share apps, music and books... )
2. Person A uses the same purchasing account for everything (ie. email, contacts and ...).
3. Person B have the same purchase account see no. 1 (for App Store and iTunes Store) but create a second AppleID for iCal, e-mail, contacts and etc.

I have been trying to update my software in my macbook pro, but every time I go through the motions of updating/restarting my computer nothing happens and it still shows I need a software update. Anyone know why this is happening?

How large is your HD and how much space do you have left?
Check out the following & do the necessary:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
Try SU again.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message!

What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking fro

Freezing up after latest 10.5 update when restarting computer or waking from sleep. Is anyone else seeing this?

I am having the same problem with the screen not waking up after it goes to sleep. Once I was able to recover with pressing the power button just long enough to wake it but not restart. The other two times I had to power down and restart -- I also got the jagged screen graphics once.
I have been experiencing this since I installed the 10.5.3 update. It seems to be ok if I put the computer to sleep using 'Sleep' on the Apple menu, but if my screen saver comes on and it goes to sleep on its own, then I have problems waking it.
Frustrating - I don't like to power down and restart my iMac if I can avoid it.
