Generally speaking, the update process I use and recommend is this:<\/p>\n
a) visit http:\/\/www.apple.com\/support\/downloads\/ and get the correct “combo” updater. There will be several, so pay attention: it’s a big download, so you want the correct one the first time. Set it aside.<\/p>\n
b) run disk utility or DiskWarrior or Drive Genius or whatever your favorite drive utility is, and verify that the drive directory structure is OK. If not, fix it.<\/p>\n
c) run disk utility and repair permissions<\/p>\n
d) clone (preferably) or otherwise backup your drive.<\/p>\n
e) some people say to disconnect everything except keyboard, mouse and monitor. (I don’t usually do that, but it won’t hurt if you do.)<\/p>\n
f) quit any running programs (except the finder)<\/p>\n
g) now run the combo updater.<\/p>\n
h) let it do its thing. If it takes longer than you think is should… wait longer. If it auto reboots a couple of times, that’s just fine. Remember “42” and Don’t Panic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
