If you go that route, be prepared to wait about five minutes or so before the login screen appears (which it will in Safe Boot even if you have automatic login configured).
MacFixIt has long advised booting into Safe Boot mode (hold down the Shift key during a reboot) before running the installer, which I confess I usually don't bother with, as starting up in Safe Boot mode takes a long time because it runs a media scan during the bootup process. I also shut down all other programs before running the installer, which will ask for a reboot anyway. Belt and braces perhaps, but I'm of the view that doing these things can help avoid problems.Īs noted above, before running the Combo updater I usually run a set of basic system maintenance routines with the Automation panel of OnyX.

One of the reasons I like going with a freestanding update installer is that one can do some prudent preparation before running the update, such as the aforementioned file backup, repairing permissions, running the cron maintenance scripts, cleaning system caches (a system maintenance utility like OnyX, MainMenu, (both freeware) or a host of others available, is the most convenient way to do this). The several standalone installer variants are available from Apple Support Downloads (see link below). The preferred-by-me standalone update installer option is especially useful when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once, and I also find it convenient to keep a current update installer on hand in case one needs to do a complete system reinstall. Also, some updates must be installed prior to others, so you should run Software Update more than once to make sure you have all available updates. Note that an update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed using Software Update.

If your computer is not up-to-date, other software updates available for your computer may appear which you should install first. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to automatically check for the latest Apple software using the Internet, including this update.
