HT5167 Combo or not Combo - what's the difference?

Combo or not Combo - what's the difference?

Hi,
A "Combo" update is all updates from the base 10.7 rolled into one ( i.e. 10.7.1+10.7.2+10.7.3+10.7.4)
A "Delta" update is just the updates from previous release to release + 1.
So to be able to use the Delta you have to be on the previous release (i.e. on 10.7.3 and want to update to 10.7.4)
If you are anything less that the the current you can *only* use the combo.
However some people swear by only using the combo as this re-applies all updates from base and historically seems more reliable. I've never found this but you may find different.
Delta updates are a lot smaller than Combo updates (obviously) so are quicker to download and apply.
regards,
Shawn

  • Minus and NOT EXISTS - What's the difference?

    What is the difference when you use these statements when evaluating whether one tables differences to another. I thought they were supposed to act the same.

    The MINUS query returns all rows in the first query that are not returned in the second query.
    Each SQL statement within the MINUS query must have the same number of fields in the result sets with similar data types.
    The EXISTS condition is considered "to be met" if the subquery returns at least one row.
    The EXISTS condition can also be combined with the NOT operator

  • What's the difference between Creative MuVo TX FM and MuVo Micro N2

    I want to get gig model and I'm not sure what's the difference between those two (other than price).

    The way they look is different
    The N200 is solid piece, the TX FM is in 2 pieces (the battery, and the player part itself).
    There are features (Line in) which isn't available on the TX (but it's rubbish anyway)
    You can read all of it if you look at the specs or features on the creative webby, and then way out the pros and cons for yourself.

  • What is the difference between AT

    I just heard NBC News this morning and said that the service/support by Verizon has something special, but AT&T.
    And they explained, but I could not catch what was the difference between.....If someone knows what it was, I'd like to know. Even through, I purchased
    iPhone5 with AT&T.........

    but the iphone 4s isn't avilable in Egypt yet ,,!!
    Well either you wait until it is, or you buy from abroad, but as I said, you cannot buy from the US online store unless you have a US credit card and shipping address.
    can AT&T unlock it for me or even apple does that at the retail store ??
    No! As I also already said, an iPhone locked to AT&T cannot be unlocked. Cannot means cannot - nothing else.

  • What is the difference between combo dive (24x) and Double layer (8x) ???

    Hi everyone,
    I am helping my girlfriend to purchase a new Macbook, so I would like to know (I guess she) what is the difference between the combo drive (24x) and double layer (8x) divers? Although I have a Macbook Pro, I could not give to her an right answer about this simple question—what a shame!
    Thanks,

    From my P.O.V, being able to burn DVD's is a fairly standard feature these days and is very useful. I have the 2.4 and am very happy with it, i would always buy the best one can afford at the time as it goes out of date so quickly, so i would personally go for the 2.4, yes, but it depends on whether she thinks she is actually going to need that DVD burning facility.

  • What's the difference between client combo and server combo? Also, what would happen if I install both?

    One is for the base version of the Mac OS, the other is for the Server version. You can only install the one that matches your system.

  • What's the difference between a not-initialed object and a null object

    hi guys, i wanna know the difference between a not-initialed object and a null object.
    for eg.
    Car c1;
    Car c2 = null;after the 2 lines , 2 Car obj-referance have been created, but no Car obj.
    1.so c2 is not refering to any object, so where do we put the null?in the heap?
    2.as no c2 is not refering to any object, what's the difference between c2 and c1?
    3.and where we store the difference-information?in the heap?

    For local variables you can't have "Car c1;" the compiler will complain.That's not true. It will only complain if you try to use it without initializing it.
    You can have (never used, so compiler doesn't care):
    public void doSomething()
       Car c1;
       System.out.println("Hello");
    }or you can have (definitely initialized, so doesn't have to be initialized where declared):
    public void doSomething(boolean goldClubMember)
       Car c1;
       if (goldClubMember)
           c1 = new Car("Lexus");
       else
           c1 = new Car("Kia");
       System.out.println("You can rent a " + c1.getMake());
    }

  • HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

    If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
    Or am I missing the bigger picture?

    As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

    my ICCID is 8935905000307066111

    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • What is the difference between != and Logical NOT operator

    kindly,tell me what is the difference between Not Equality operator and logical negation operator.
    Edited by: user13414134 on Dec 3, 2010 8:59 AM

    what is the difference between != and Logical NOT operator The NOT operator is transformed into the inequality operator (<>), as can be seen from the Predicate Information of the explain plan:

    Explain complete.
