My Combo installation took 10mins to complete. I installed the OS X 10.9.2 Update (Combo) this morning without any problems. I always download the Combo Update and install OS X updates this way: 1. Repair Permissions 2. Install the Combo Update 3. After installation completes I run Software Update (install anything that appears) 4. Repair Permissions I would suggest you do the above. You can download the 'Combo' update at this link: <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726> File Size: 859.7 MB Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance)
