dutchiee (= Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 hii,, im currently on 10.5.5 with everything working flawlessly, hardly any issues at all though im just curious as to whether i should upgrade to 10.5.6? ive seen many posts about doing it but never sure which is good? the ones i was planning to use were http://insanelymac.blogspot.com/2008/12/pr...pdating-to.html and http://insanelymac.blogspot.com/2008/12/up...5x-to-1056.html . would those two above suffice or is there an easier way? im not quite sure if doing all that is worth the effort unless there is a significant increase an an aspect. thanks, regards, Jeremy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/163036-is-it-worth-upgrading-to-1056/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine anyone could give you an answer for sure without knowing what your system specs are. I guess if you are not sure you should ask yourself what do you need it to do that it won't do right now and does apple list that fix in the updates.

Tetsuo Shima Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 NEVER CHANGE A RUNNING SYSTEM! Of course most of the people who install OSX on a PC never cared about that No.1 rule, but in this case I wuld suggest, that you keep 10.5.5. If everything works for you there is no need in upgrading to 10.5.6.

Beerkex'd Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 If you wait until you really need it, it will cause you all the more grief if it doesn't work.

d00m42 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Wtf? There is no rule that says "Don't change a running system", however there is one that says "ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS OF STUFF WHEN IT WORKS WELL". With this in mind, I believe having the most up to date software--especially operating systems--is essential to optimal system performance and security/bugfixes. I would make an image of your HD if you feel really uncomfortable, (or just kexts and anything majorly important if you are a little more comfortable), and go for the update. It also depends, do you use the Vanilla kernel? If so, then your upgrade should go very smoothly. If not, then read about people who upgraded with alternate kernels and just follow a guide. All it requires are a few extra terminal commands to ensure no install-breaking kexts are installed and your hacked kernel remains in place.

Tetsuo Shima Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well, that's right. There is no such rule, but, it's certainly a good idea to only install updates you need. If you backup everything, then theres a possibility that you can go back to the previous state, but it's not certain (in my opinion) because it's a hackintosh and therefore not really reliable... Okay, that's my opinion... Anyway, that only applies to Hackintoshes, in Linux and Windows, I always update to the latest Version... In OSX I don't update till it's certain that the update is needed and don't break anything. That's the way most Mac-Poeple do it... At least every Mac-User I know... Because on a real Mac an update can break things too...
