How do I update Hackintosh?

[ric0h]

Is there a way i can install a version of hackintosh leopard (ON A PC) , and be able to do updates?

i currently have tiger 10.14.10, but when i clicked update everything went down. (now i cant boot but whatever)

Now, i dont want to make the same mistake on Leopard, but if i wont be able to update into a new version, then i guess its kinda worthless.

 

am using vista and i want to install leopard on another partition, so my question is, will i be able to install hackintosh leopard and be able to update?

 

 

Thanks for your help!

There is only one update for Leopard released so far and its pretty safe to say that you can install it on a hackintosh so I don't think you should be too concerned.

Generally speaking, no. You can't use apple's automatic updates. They'll almost always break your system. You'll need to use updates released by the osx86 community.

Actually, you can use updates from Apple Software Update as long as they are not system OS updates. e.g. 10.4.9 --> 10.4.10.

pcwiz pretty much got it.

 

however, if there are any updates that require system restart, avoid them. Quicktime is an exception, that will do no harm, however security updates are bad, audio updates are unnecessary, and as already stated, OS upgrades are completely out of the question.

 

if you need an update, look around here before anything else, it'll save you the trouble of repairing disk permissions just to boot into OS X.

Security Updates are not considered as unsafe to install, you can install them pretty safely. I agree that Audio updates are not necessary but there is no real danger in installing them
