Software update 10.3.0.908 glitch

Just bought the BB Passport, new update available. Connected it to the wi-fi and updating it... waited for about 6 hrs for it to finish (1.3GB), then while installing, at 66%, gave me this error: Install interupted, please try again. - THERE IS NO TRY AGAIN BUTTON, the only button available to press is: Cancel. You can guess what I pressed...
So unforunately I'm back at step 1, downloading that massive 1.3GB update for God knows what, and its at 1%... Shouldn't it be saved in my Passport's database??
Please help!

And why does it still take about 10 seconds to load a name when I search for a contact...?!

When can we get a software update that will fix the glitch on ipad updates now visible?!?

Have icon banner notification showing updates available but screen is blank when selecting icon to update the apps... Seems to be an apple glitch as im not alone in this and nothing wrong with my ipad. Must repair glitch with system update as, obviously, no other way for anyone to update given the issue!!!

It most likely doesn't require a software update. The problem is probably on the App Store end. It doesn't seem to be affecting everyone. I'm sure it will be resolved soon. You may just have to be patient.
Best of luck.

Software Update Glitches

My BlackBerry Q10 worked perfectly before I installed the new software update. Now that I have version 10.2.1.2179, my keys are messed up: the Q & A keys are backwards (when I press the Q key I get an "A" and vice versa). Same thing with my W & Z keys. Also, the keys on the right side of the keyboard try to make other characters: when I use a double O I get "ö". Double L = "ø", etc. Also, my $ key makes a "€". My other issue is that most of my contacts are not saved with a "1" in front of the area code and with this update, my phone doesn't recognize who my text messages are from (not displaying the name, just the number). I'm hoping I don't have to change every contact to add the 1, especially since the phone doesn't display the 1 when someone calls/texts, so when you chose the option to save that number, it doesn't include a 1. Any suggestions???

My wife's iPhone 4S wifi doesn't work after ios 6.1 update. I have the router in my living room and to read the LAN i have to be very close to it. With my iPhone 3GS i don't experience problem and i still mounting ios 6.0.1 on it.

No message tone or icon after software update

I did a software update yesterday to the 10.2.1.2102 and now when i receive a text my phone doesnt notify me of this. No tone goes off and no icon appears. HELP!

Ok.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

Text Messaging Error & Software Update Error

I got the Blackberry Q10 on Saturday (6.17) and had some issues with text messaging, so I went to Verizon last night (6.17) after two days of having issues. They gave me another blackberry Q10 in hopes that my original phone just had a glitch in it, sadly I think its a glitch in the phone. I love blackberries, but if this issues isn't fixed soon, I am afraid I will have to leave the Blackberry world which I have been apart of since the pearl.
So what are my issues, they vary, but to name a few...
1) When I send a text message it does not appear in the text message screen (when the receiver did receive the message) as well as I am not getting the receivers response back. (unless I search the receiver's name)
2) When I restart my phone, the sent message appears as well as the received message, but when I open it, it is not clearing saying the message was opened.
1 and 2 are very frustrating because I am missing text messages and not receiving them until I restart my phone, which I should NOT have to do. I am receiving e-mails with no problem.
3) When I check for a software update it is showing one (10.1.0. 2038), so I click the update to update my phone and it downloads it within a few minutes, but the software is not being added to my phone, because under the "system setting" tabs, under the "about" tab, and under the "software release" section it states that I still have software 10.1.0.2011. As well as, after I download the 10.1.0.2038 and search again to see if I any software updates available, it says I do and I go through the process again of downloading 10.1.0.2038.
Please someone help me as to what is wrong! Thank you!
Someone who wants to stay a Blackberry customer,

CRM-MAS 4.0 SR1 required software updates lead to system crash !?

(long post, sorry !)
Hello
I'd like to know how MAS 4.0 behave when the software required for its installation are updated : over the past few months my computer has acted more and more strangely, and in the end I couldn't even log into Windows. The ghost we made after the installation has just ended the same way this afternoon.
As I only have installed WinMerge on that computer, my own other apps were portable apps, I was wondering if software updates could lead MAS to make the system fail.
Here is the starting environment : Windows 2000 company master with SQL Server 2000, Lotus Notes 6.5, Java 1.4.2 (and IE 6)
Required for MSA are Lotus 5 and Java 1.3.5
- Notes 6.5 is uninstalled and replaced by Notes 5.
- Java 1.4.2 is uninstalled, left registry keys manually removed and Java 1.3.5 is installed.
- Installation of MAS + SPs + packages
- Notes 5 is uninstalled and replaced by Notes 6.5 (which, I think, updates java to 1.4.2)
So first, what is the impact of updated versions for MAS ?
Second, I think I saw the behavior becoming worse after some windows update, do you think it is possible, or it just made an existing problem bigger ?
The different problems I had were first a random crash from MSA when I had IE open (email webaccess). Then it almost crashed everytime. Then I could't even get into MAS when I had IE open, then the same with Notes.
Other things (don't remember the order) were :
- Couldn't launch any application when MAS was lanched (even "My Computer" properties)
- I had visual glitches with CRM, Notes and IE when they were running at the same time
- I couldn't run the project from the debug feature of MAS ("Could not access registry").
And this afternoon, when I logon, a message asking me to increase the registry size then reboot. Then I can see the desktop but can't do anything
Besides installing WinMerge (old version, installer only), I had on my usb key : Firefox portable, Miranda portable, Notepad++ Portable and in the end I also used winmerge directly form it.
What do you think about this ? Maybe there was just a flaw in the initial computer installation, or maybe MAS does really not like to have its initial requirements updated ?
At the moment I am having my computer re-installed, and they have changed their masters to Windows XP, Notes 6.5 and Java 1.4 (maybe 1.6).
Have requirements of MSA 4 changed, for installation on WinXP ?
Thanks a lot and Regards,
François

Hi,
the installation of JRE (Java Runtime) or LN is not related to MAS directly but to an additional MSA installation. So their installation resp. update cannot have any impact on MAS.
I rather think that there might be a corruption of the Windows Installer Database which is used as a standard installation engine e.g. also for MAS.
I also can remember to have serious problems (always automatic start of Windows installer popup when trying to open MAS/MSA) some years ago on a customer MAS machine where windows updates were applied automatically.
Finally there was only the solution even to reinstall the complete OS.
Maybe you could check for microsoft tools like msicuu2.exe to uninstall the applications also from the installer database mentioned above.
By the way: Did you already check the hard disk resp. memory for failures?
Regards,
Wolfhard

Software update hangs after upgrading to Lion

Just recently upgraded to Lion, mostly without any glitches but upon starting up iTunes I was presented with a dialog box indicating that the version of iTunes was "too new" (I think) and suggested I used Software Update to install a Lion compatible one. So I did. Went to Software Update and clicked on "Check Now" and waited. Task bar moved from left to right to indicate activity and progress but then it stopped at about 4/5 of the way to completion. And that's where it stayed! Canceled and tried again but same outcome. Rebooted and tried again, same outcome. Downloaded and installed the Lion friendly version of iTunes which installed ok, tried Software Update. Same outcome. Anybody out there have the same problem? A solution? Would be great to here from anyone who can help.

Me too. I'm running a mid-2010 Mac Mini with 8GB RAM.
The first couple of times when I tried using the Software Update app, I coudn't get the download to begin; after I clicked the Agree button, the dialog box closed, but the download never started. The Software Update app was still running, just not doing anything. I'd close the app and tray again with the same results.
Today I tried and the download did download and started to install. When it reach the 'Registering components' stage near the end, it appeared to hang at around 98% complete.
Because I was doing onther stuff on my computer, I let it sit there for about 40 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, it finished the install. I've opened iTunes and the 'About' box tells me I'm running iTunes 10 .4 (80) 64-bit.
So, try again and be patient.

Software update corrupt. Can't update or restore :(

I have an Ipod Touch 5th gen running iOS 6.1, however I am trying to update it to iOS 6.1.2 but no matter what I do it will not update or restore and Itunes keeps giving me an error saying that the software update was corrupted during download after waiting an hour for the update to download each time.
Things I have tried:
Tried updating over the air by going into settings > general > software update on the Ipod - but the ipod just hangs forever where it says checking for updates with the spinning pinwheel and does not go any further (I let it sit for about an hour at that screen and it still said that it was checking for updates!)
I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting my Ipod many times - didn't work still get the error when updating
I have tried restarting my computer many times (my computer is running Windows 7 Professional x64) - didn't work still get the error when updating
I have tried soft-resetting (I think that is what it is called) the Ipod by holding down the sleep/wake and home button until the apple logo shows up - still didn't update got the same error
Tried reinstalling the Apple mobile device USB driver in the device manager in windows.
Tried connecting the computer and Ipod to my other wireless network.
I have tried putting the Ipod into recovery mode (where it shows the connect to itunes screen) and then tried updating or restoring through itunes - didn't work either still get the same error
Tried putting the Ipod in DFU mode and then tried updating and restoring- still didn't work get the same error
Finally I have tried manually downloading the ipsw file and then holding shift while clicking on update to select the downloaded firmware file like I read in another thread on this site - but that STILL did not work and I got an error that it could not be updated because the firmware file was corrupt.
I have even tried the last option with the Ipod in DFU mode - still no luck.
It seems like I have tried every single option and at this point am really frustrated since I cannot update or even restore my device. Is there anything else I can do or do I need to take it into an apple store to see if they can update it? Will they be able to update it for me in the apple store and will they charge me any money for doing it? (my Ipod is still under warranty as far as I know).
I also thought that maybe it was a temporary glitch with apple but I have tired this for THREE DAYS without any luck. I have NEVER had this issue before and was always update to update over the air or through Itunes
Nothing is wrong with my Ipod other than not being able to update it over the air or through Itunes. The only reason why I am trying to restore or update it to begin with is so I can have the latest iOS.
Has anyone else, or does anyone else have this issue, and if so how did you fix it?

All I can suggest
- Is to download the update file on onother computer/network and try to copy to your computer and try again
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

Whats the difference between a combo update and using software update?

I keep my Macbook up to date by checking regularly via software update, so far with no mishaps, but I have seen people on these forums mentioning that a it is better to download the combo updates direct from Apples website. Is this true, if so why, and what is the difference? I am thinking of installing Leopard which would then probably need updating to the current version, so what is the correct way of doing this?

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac, or even re-installing them, will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta. If Safari 3.1.2 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 3.0.4 (or worse still, version 2) when running 10.4.11 or 10.5 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.1.1 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, and may entail you having to reinstall an earlier operating system.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

"Software Update" crashes upon download

Last week I was given a new Mac mini as a gift; I upgraded the memory to 2G; did Target Disk transfer from my old G4, then started using it (didn't use it before the memory or the transfer).
Software Update crashes at the point when the download has just started, every time, even with individual small downloads. Other symptoms: Safari crashes upon start-up, any Widgets that look up info crash when they go get data. Firefox works but crashes accessing some video, same with Explorer.
I have manually downloaded and upgraded to OSX 10.4.9. System can't recognize/mount the .dng download file to upgrade to 10.4.10 (I manually downloaded the Combo Intel). Java is 10.4.2, but when I try to install Java 10.4 Release 5, it tells me to upgrade to the previous version first (which is already installed).
I suspect this is a Java and downloading glitch. Does Software Update rely on Java? Any ideas? I've searched the message boards for this problem, but haven't found anyone else with this problem.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thank you for your reply. I used the Setup Assistant to migrate from my G4.
That's probably the cause of your issues. Apparently, the Setup Assitant will sometimes migrate (PowerPC-specific) system files over to Intel-based Macs (causing many odd problems), so using it to migrate from a PPC to an Intel Mac isn't recommended.
Unfortunately, you will have to re-install Mac OS X to solve your issues (trying to figure out which specific files are causing the issues will probably be too long, with little chance of success); I don't know whether an Archive & Install is enough to fix this, but perhaps someone else knows? Otherwise you could ask in the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Installation & Setup forum. If you need to do an Erase & Install, you will lose all data on your hard drive, so you'll need to create a backup of all your user files first.

HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

software update not working

Software update, safari 3.0.2 do not work after installing mac os 10.4.11

Hi,
I've been upgrading a B&W G3 from 10.3.9 to 10.4.x and after installing from a 10.4 retail disc I used the software updater to download and install 10.4.11. This worked fine, no errors. But, both Software Update and Safari will not load at all, they are not even showing in the Force Quit dialog. So I returned my system to 10.3.9 re-installed 10.4 and took an image of my installation. I then proceeded to install a combo update, repair permissions (a task I had been performing previously), test software update and safari (which both worked), take an image of the installation for combos 10.4.3, 10.4.5, 10.4.8 and 10.4.10. Everything worked fine. Then I installed the stand alone 10.4.11 and was presented with faulty Software Update and Safari!!!
I've concluded there is definitely something wrong with 10.4.11 update where it be a stand alone or part of the combo update.
Is there a get around, to install the update and then amended some files, settings or something?
Thanks

Tiger 10.4.11 uses Safari 4.1.3.

Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

hello!
i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Mac won't install Software Updates

I have a PPC G5 1.8 running 10.5.8 leopard. I try to run the updater and it tries but in the end it says software not updated volume "/". Please help.

Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:

If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.

Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.

In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 4.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.

If you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
