[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 708935, member: 21101"] Regardless of what you read, or the Apple marketing, I would ALWAYS advise when there are critical system updates, that you don't multi-task. It will actually recommend you to shut down all other apps, so that's really a warning that browsing, chatting and generally having fun whilst it's updating the OS, is going to invite issues. Re-install OS X from scratch, install all the applications you're going to use, then click software update and wait for everything to finish. Do it in that order, then enjoy yourself. I have done numerous updates and installs on my 2006 MacBook, and it's been rock-solid always. I am lucky, but then being from Windows, I never tempt fate when doing updates. Leave it alone, you can do without the machine for the hour or two the 1st updates may take. Good luck and sorry to hear your woes. [/QUOTE]
