Silfer Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 So finally I have my Leopard working great but when I do software update. It says that there is an ''security update'' My question is can I do a software update or will it destroy leopard? BTW I have the "Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 for AMD SSE2/SSE3 (32bits)' one installed floating around on the bay Using Toh kernel 9.1.0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78766-question-about-updating-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
.newzero Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 i dont know if this happens to others but i DID install this security update and now my mac os does not work correctly :/ boots up, the blue screen with the cursor appears and then stops doing anything D: so i guess you shouldn't update ^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78766-question-about-updating-leopard/#findComment-558158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fulg Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I updated this afternoon, no problems. I'm running vanilla kernel (Kalyway 10.5.1) though.

Cohen The Barbarian Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I updated this afternoon, no problems. I'm running vanilla kernel (Kalyway 10.5.1) though. I'm going to assume silfer has an AMD CPU since the AMD SSE2/SSE3 disc was specified in the first post. AMD users should double check the forums before updating anything since they cannot run a stock vanilla kernel and need to patch more files before they can be used. Anyone not running a vanilla kernel and PC_EFI should show caution before updating. Even EFI patched systems run the risk of updated files replacing patched extensions and disabling sound/network/video...you get the idea. Before I do any updates I plug in an external USB drive and back up the entire system now. Since I run all Intel machines, I can't advise you on the success...I can only recommend you backup before you try and be prepared to repatch or reinstall stuff.

qbattersby Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I wouldnt risk it, it likely will not work. As you are not using PC_efi. I did the update but I am all vanilla Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78766-question-about-updating-leopard/#findComment-559962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayStCowboy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm running the Kalyway 10.5.1 (Vanilla kernel) and I've made all the updates with no problems. I was hesitant at first to make the security update but I did it anyways and everything is working fine.

wahwahman89 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 If you're using PC_EFI you should be fine. Alternatively, be very very cautious. Just update applications not Leopard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78766-question-about-updating-leopard/#findComment-593979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameless One Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Do you have a second Mac OS X install for emergency use and are familiar with Marvin's Utility? If so then back up your custom kexts and kernel just in case (making a backup of the whole partition for a quick restore in case things go very wrong would be a good idea too), apply the update and then reboot into the other install and run Marvin's Utility to do a full decrypt/CPUID repair. There should just be a few files with CPUIDs that need fixing, but no decrypts to do so Marvin's Utility will abort (then just do the CPUID option with the CPUID file it created on the first run) Restore your kexts and kernel, repair permissions just in case, and reboot with fingers crossed. /me glares at Kalway users who can't read Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78766-question-about-updating-leopard/#findComment-594669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0rb0 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I installed the updates using the same kernel and install dvd.....with efi v8.....and it hosed my box....I tried to fix it by copying 'Finder.app' from my mbp....didn't work I isntalled fresh.....I made a backup and tried again.... Same thing.....Finder.app hosed... I'm restoring again now. No more updates for me. I may try the method above. Not familiar with Marvin's utility.....
