security update 2008-007

Apple has released a security update on oct. 9. The response after installing is kinda scaring me a little. Most users say that their systems refuse to boot, apps crash, graphics card detection problems etc.

Anyone downloaded it & found it ok? Some reassurance would be nice. I just got a new macbook, dont want to screw it up

(Runnning 10.5.5 on white C2D 2.4ghz)

I have only installed the security update on one machine so far which is a Power PC iMac and all is fine. I will try my other Macs later and see what happens. I have not read of any issues so far myself.

The 10.5.5 security update besides updating some security issues, also installs a newer version of OpenGL. That may impact on some applications but most should be OK. The problems that I have seen seem to occur on the MacBook which has an integrated graphics chipset. MacBook Pro and the iMac which have dedicated graphics are OK. I have one application that I run on my MacBook which relies on OpenGL and that application is definitely broken. I'm waiting for the author to fix it.

Regards.

Confused - 10.5.5 has been around for a while now, so what do you mean by Apple have released security update on October 9?

10.5.5 messes up my iCal, so I haven't bothered until they fix it!!!

@neilf-check out-the apple info
I havent downloaded the file[around 31 MB] & have 10.5.5, I dont know if after installing it 10.5.5 will change it to 10.5.6

@dtravis7 & chscag....thanks, though still waiting to see how things go

10.5.5. This is a security update and not a point update. The version will stay the same.

Security Update 31.1MB and works just fine and no problems with download or install.

I just installed the update on my C2D 2.16Ghz Mac Mini. All went well. No issues at all to report.

No problems with my update either. Thanks for the heads up!

Aside from a momentary blank screen (heart into mouth) no problems here.
