I wasn’t the only one who reported an initial problem with the latest update to OS X 10.5.3 but I’m happy to report a success the second time around. Last night I decided to give the update a second try since I had rebuilt my MacBook Pro after the first failed attempt and it went without a hitch. Interestingly there was a big difference in the Software Update procedure the second time around which I believe is why it worked that time and not the first. The first failed attempt was also performed via the Software Update route in Leopard and the download was only 16x MB. We know that didn’t work so this second time around I was paying close attention to the process to spot any differences and this time the download was the full 465 MB. That apparently did the trick and the update went fine, installed, booted twice and came right back up. Now to see if I notice any improvements due to the update.
