Default Re: Thinking of upgrading to 8

HI,

the Combo Update is a large File from the Apple.com server which contains ALL updates for all OS X components at once an is usually around 500MB to 1GB big.

The Combo is the big sister of the "Apple Software Update" option found in the top left Apple-Menu on your screen. This Menu checks your current OS X version and installed software against the newest versions available from Apple and updates these components as new version become available.

This is called Delta Update and is not recommended for updating a system running PT. Because some components might not get updated as needed.

So always d/l the Combo-Updaters from Apple manually and install them.
After that you must repair Disk Permissions with the Disk Utilitly.
You should do that every time you installed new software.

best
