exas Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 is it safe to use software update(from system preferences screen)? with all the tweaks that go on to get mac os x working on normal PC's will anything screw up if i run system update and install what comes up? or should i just leave it alone? i am using Jas 4.8 if it matters Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42956-is-it-safe-to-use-software-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
guice Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I managed to successfully install the Java, Date Light Savings change and X11 updates. I do know one of the updates will bugger the system. I do not know how to update it and repatch the system so it'll run.

Prawker Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 It is safe to install SOFTWARE updates, (for java, iTunes, etc...) But i would suggest checking the forum before you install a security update, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont, and no matter what, NEVER INSTALL CORE UPDATES! (ones that update you from 10.4.x to 10.4.x) because these are a death wish, they were not meant for hackintosh's.

Prawker Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Some security updates are, and some aren't, it really depends on your processor.
