kismitt Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I currently updated my OSX86 to 10.6.4 and it's running great! When is it safe to run Software update for any security update? Here's my screen capture of update that I need to run. What is safe and won't kill my machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 The updates that don't require a restart are all safe for you to install. The rest I can't say anything about without knowing your specs and installation type, which patches you're using for video (if any). You can read about the security updates and what's in them over at Apple's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I install iatkos v2 10.6.3 and then did an update to 10.6.4 My video is an Intel x3100 Video Everything seems to be working except my sound from VoodooHDA 2.7.1. It won't save my input gain value so I have to go into the VoodooHDA pref panel to adjust the gain every time for audio to work. And the rest of the update are software update. Are those safe to update or Apple will kill my OSX86? Maybe I don't understand when to run the Software update or best not to update anything.

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 How would I know which update needs a restart? If you've updated to 10.6.4 via Software Update without any major issues happening, then you can probably just get everything. Apple are not out to kill your Hackintosh, if they wanted to do that they would have done something a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemError51 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 So far for me (installed with Tonymac and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]), I could install everything that required restart without issues (including security updates). The only exception (I think, I don't wanna chance it) are system updates, like from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. For that I downloaded the combo upgrade, installed, DID NOT REBOOT after it was finished, and ran [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] - THEN rebooted. That did the trick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neflem Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 When a major update comes out. Like 10.6.5 to be unleashed soon. Wait a couple days and check the forums to make sure there is nothing wonky with it. Worst thing is to roll back. With that said - do you keep a copy of your /S/L/E folder - just in case?

There is a DL link in that post for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
