Should I download delta or combo update for a new MBP with problem?

Hi everyone, my cMBP is a mid 2012 15 iChat version, the screen brightness control and auto graphics switching functions r disappeared by themselves, until recently I heard about combo and delta update, so I hoping this update can solve my problem,
My os x is 10.8.3 out of the box n I haven't do any update yet,
So should I download delta 10.8.3 or 10.8.3 combo?
Will I able to download 10.8.3 delta in the same os x 10.8.3 system?
Should I straight away download combo 10.8.5 update or download 10.8.3 first  to prevent problems bring to the new os x version?
Or should I redownload the os x 10.8?
Does this combo update help me?
Btw my mac warranty will expired on mid April
Thanks everyone for helping me!

I would download and install the 10.8.5 Combo Update. It's my preference as it contains all updates from 10.8.2 through 10.8.5.

  • I downloaded the latest FF version for my new laptop with Windows 7 o/s and installed without problems, so why does it crash every time I try to use FF?

    My new laptop came with IE installed. I downloaded FF and installed it without any problems. FF has crashed every time I have tried to use it. I have never had this problem before on either laptop or desktop and found that I could use FF most of the time, only switching to IE occasionally when a site worked better with it ... which wasn't often.

  • TS4123 A recent download of an iTines update - for whatever reason - failed on my computer.  Since then I get a system error statement telling me that the program cannot open because 'MSVCR80.d11' is missing from my computer.  When I attempt to open iTune

    A recent download of an iTunes update, for some unknown reason, failed on my computer.   Since then I get a system error message everytime I log on telling me that the program cannot be opened because 'MSVCR80.d11' is missing from my computer.   When I try to open iTunes I get an 'error 7 (Windows error 126)' message and am advised to reinstall iTunes.   However, when I attempt to do this, it downloads the programme and gets as far as installation, at which point I get yet another message: this time 'Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start'.
    I am at a loss to know what to try next and would appreciate any assistance.  I'm also concerned that, in the process of reinstalling iTunes, I am going to lose all the music I have collected over the years.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • HT6162 My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

  • I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes!

    I've downloaded the past 2 updates for my iphone 5s and now it keeps asking me to trust my own computer and it wont even connect to itunes! I am current with software on both my computer and my iphone 5s.  Now when I hook it up to my computer it still keeps asking me if I trust the computer and it won't connect to Itunes?

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

    Help.  I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us).  Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store.  We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection.  It happens only when we are trying to access Movies.  Very confused.  Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update.  Now this problem!  Help!

    >cant insall last driver from intel(they told me that i must download new driver from Toshiba
    It is possible to install the driver from Intel but you have to do this is device manager!
    You have to FORCE windows choosing the downloaded driver and this can be done using the advanced installation procedure. This helps to choose the driver from Intel and to finish the installation!

    If you are getting a voicemail password prompt, that usually means you have a voicemail.  In order to hear it you will need to enter the passcode, it only needs to be entered once.
    To reset your passcode, call your service provider.

  • What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:     Mac OS X 10.5.8

    What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:
    Mac OS X 10.5.8

    It will depend on the actual model you have.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99 while Mavericks is free. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later

                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

    you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X.  Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems.  The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6.  Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

    i am using a GLOBE prepaid microsim for my new ipad with retina. i was registered with supersurf 999, and i was able to enjoy my internet connection until i updated my ios with 6.1... since then, every time i go online,it says i am not registered with mobile internet... however, when i insert the microsim on my broadband, i can actually go online... what to do??? my apn setting in internet.globe.com.ph which is for prepaid users...

    PS - I just sent this to a few of my friends in the big hardware review sites, as well as a few apple execs:
    Whats up guys? Its your old buddy dom "battleship mtron author , 9 ssd drives in raid 0" years ago. lol
    I wanted to fill you in on a HUGE problem with the new ios 6 update.
    My iphone 4 updated without a hitch.
    My ipad 3 on the other hand has a HUGE PROBLEM. It is essentially a brick without wifi (since the device relies on wifi for just about every task).
    There are currently hundreds of a users within the last 2 hours reporting the same error on the apple discussions site.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19626235#19626235
    What happens is simple:
    1. Download and install the update on Ipad 3.
    2. Try and connect to your normal wifi connection.
    3. It will connect for a few seconds and than fail stating "no internet connection available"
    4. It is no a brick without wifi accessibility. (unless we revert to ios 5)
    I have tried resetting my router. Resetting settings on the ipad. Renewing the ip address both LOCALLY and through the WAN at the cable modem and rebooting all of my networking equipment (ie: router), I even tried doing a complete wipe and re-install of ios 6 fresh. You guys know I am a tech geek from my background and I have tried everything so I just wanted to fill you in on this potential problem for apple.

  • HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

  • I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

    I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!
