Ivan, is this a beta version? I don't find it on the Apple site.
Mara
I hope not, I wouldn't want to install a beta! :)

Use your 'Software Update' in system preferences on your mac.

Or just click on the apple in the menu bar and its the second one down.
Or just set your Software Update to run daily, automatically. :)

Or, go to the apple updates page and hit refresh until they release 10.5.4
Ha ha ha. Just don't hit the 'Quit' key combo by mistake. Then you have to start all over.

420 Mb? Man, they don't mess around with their updates. My computer is updating it now, so we will see.
Thanks, Ivan! Hopefully some of those minor glitches will have been addressed and no new ones introduced to contend with. :)

They include links when you update to see what changes have been made. Here is the url for 10.5.3

Thanks. Good to know what you're shovelling into the holding tank.
12 min. left on the download...

I have my Software Update set to do daily background updates, with notification. I have yet to encounter 10.5.3 -- maybe it's Intel-dependent? (I'm still on PowerMacs). BTW, I searched the Apple downloads and couldn't find it. I'll try Ivan's link.

Try at the end of the day to get the update through Software Update.
Or go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
and click on the top link in the sidebar here:

It's about 500MB so hopefully you have a highspeed connection. :)

...I'd been noticing the past week that the fan on my MacBook was spinning for ages when the computer was idle and there were no applications using a lot of the CPU, this update has fixed it straight away.
The install was odd, for some reason my MacBook shut down half way through instead of restarting itself and after 20 minutes not wanting to mess up the update I bit the bullet and hit the power button and it carried on from where it left off. Other than that, totally painless.

Did it. So far, so good. Thanks for the heads-up, Ivan!
Mara
Thanks for the warning on that! I'll set it up to run while I'm home on my lunch break so it's not chewing into time where I'm actually wanting to be on my machine. Glad to hear no bad side-effects thus far!
Software update installed the 160Mb one for me.

Combo has security update included with it...

I'd already installed that then I guess.

I ended up having the 450 Mb download on my month-old MacPro, and only 110 Mb on my G5 at home. Seems backwards to me.
One didn't have the security update, probably.

I've not been able to replicate then on my set up.
