COMBO UPDATE for 10.6.8
Hi Mike- you suggested we use the combo update but I did not see the link to the show notes .I just did the software update version like I”ve been doing ever since I got my mac with snowy installed…no problems (and preview never crashed for me)
SO – here is the ? If you do post the link to the combo udpate – should I REUPDATE my mac to 10.6.8 even though I already installed software update to get there?
MANY THANKS…
You’re right, I posted a link to the “About” article instead didn’t I? Sorry about that. Here’s the link to download the Combo updater: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
To answer your question though, no, I wouldn’t re-apply any updates unless you’re experiencing issues with your Mac. If all is running as it should, then I wouldn’t give it a second thought.
