Before the update I had 361.35 Gb free After the update I have 362.09 Gb Free. It liberated about 3/4 Gb of hard drive space, actually nearly 1.5Gb if you count the size of the download into this. cool (All updates may do this I just never thought to look before) BurmaYank said on June 15th, 2010 at 5:26 PM (Edited: 06/15/2010 5:28 PM): It liberated about 3/4 Gb of hard drive space, actually nearly 1.5Gb if you count the size of the download into this… (All updates may do this I just never thought to look before I’ll bet you had many gigs of “swapfile"s in your invisible ~\private\var\vm folder before you did the post-upgrade Finder restart, which would have emptied that vm folder of your “swapfile"s. (Thank you, OmniDisk Sweeper.) Tiger said on June 15th, 2010 at 5:27 PM: Warning. I ran software update. Rebooted. My external USB drive (for my Time Machine backups) is now unreadable. It fried my boot sector. Was working perfectly 20 minutes ago before I ran the update! I’m NOT happy. geoduck said on June 15th, 2010 at 5:49 PM (Edited: 01/26/2012 2:46 PM): I’ll bet you had many gigs of “swapfile"s Oh yeah. Forgot about them. CandTsmac said on June 15th, 2010 at 6:44 PM: My combo download is 887 MB? Why the Difference in Combo download size I wonder? iJack said on June 16th, 2010 at 12:12 AM (Edited: 09/26/2011 1:30 PM): Warning. I ran software update. Rebooted. My external USB drive (for my Time Machine backups) is now unreadable. Tiger, I know this will be called an Old Witch’s Tale, but I never use Software Update for installations (once a week it tells me there is something available), and I always download from the apple support site. http://support.apple.com/downloads/ Whenever a OS update is available, I always download the Combo Updater, and keep it for a re-install – my last line of defense tool. I don’t know how long Software Update has been around, but I know I have never, not once had a problem using this install method, and I have had success using the Combo Installer as a last-ditch repair tool. wab95 said on June 16th, 2010 at 1:21 AM (Edited: 03/16/2012 11:41 PM): Warning. I ran software update. Rebooted. My external USB drive (for my Time Machine backups) is now unreadable. Curious (although probably not the word you chose). Did you use the combo 887 MB update or the 315.5 MB update? Post A Comment or Log-in. Need an account?
