I would recommend trying again through Software Update, piece by
piece this time.
I did start down that road, and decided to just move on to downloading
the individual 'update' packages --- and then on to using 'Download
Manager'
I mean, I *would,* but for the following questions
1. What's your previous history with Software Update in Leopard? Has
it run before without incident? Was that a long time ago or recently?
Haven't had unusual problems [Usual 'slow connection' problems, common.]
2. What's the Leopard installation/update history on your machine?
That gets interesting --- I have the Leopard 10.5.8 installed on a
'Firewire' HD, and use the SAME system/installation with:
Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 (MDD), iBook G4. No
problems once the connection criteria are set.
Update history --- everything available till this offering --- [Except
for NOT updating unused features, I.E. iTunes, etc.]
3. Have you ever run the program Monolingual in Leopard, or indeed,
in a previous OS X that Leopard was installed over?
That would be a yes.
4. If you go to Apple Menu>About This Mac, is the information
(including build and serial number) correct?
Haven't ever had reason to question this.
5. What is your current version of Safari?
5.0.2
6. If you go to System Preferences>Software Update>Installed
Updates, do you see anything that indicates that the updates that
failed were already installed earlier? (Wondering if there's
something going on with Software Update itself.)
Nope, was more interested in ID information so I could locate the
correct items in Apple's archives.
7. Any other problems with downloads or installations recently?
No
This is just stuff I'd be asking myself if it was my interesting
problem. I'm not to be confused with an expert.
JMO, but I'll take an interested 'User' over a jaded 'Guru' anytime.
