Mac OS X 10.5.7 released

Updates available for Mac OS X:

• Mac OS X 10.5.7 Update (delta update, i.e. update from version 10.5.6 to 10.5.7);
• Mac OS X 10.5.7. Combo Update (update from any version 10.5 to 10.5.7);
• Mac OS X Server 10.5.7 Combo Update .

From my own experience of use, I would advise to download Combo Update if you have several poppies at home, since each model has its own delta-update build, which in total can weigh more than 729.2 MB of Combo Update, which can be put on all cars. In addition, if updated via Software Update, it sometimes does strange: it seems that this program does not check the update just downloaded for integrity. If all of a sudden there is something not enough, she will not pledge against this and will immediately start betting. Accordingly, any problems will arise after installation, to the extent that the computer does not want to download the updated system. A good cure for such cases is to re-install the Combo Update downloaded from the Apple site, as it accurately checks the update package before installation. Therefore, it is better to put Combo Update right away, especially if you already had problems with the Software Update program in the past.

What's new in this update?

A misunderstanding has occurred, because by mistake Apple in the brief description of update 10.5.7 refers to a detailed list of 10.5.6 fixes . Thanks a lot to attentive commentators who noticed and pointed out the problem. Therefore, I replace my somewhat clumsy translation with material from the Russian version of the Apple site . Those interested can also familiarize themselves with the version in English .
