Security Update for 10.5 Leopard

ByMike Moffit

Along with the 10.6.2 update, Apple released a Security Update for 10.5. This Update is recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X. Previous security updates have been incorporated into this security update, so if you’ve skipped some updates, this one will catch you up quickly.

If you have 10.5, you can download the update by running Software Update, which is found under the Apple button in the upper left corner of your screen (this is the recommended method). You can manually install the update by clicking here.

  • It looks like this warmer weather may stick around for a few more days. Still time to get out and do some chores. I have to prune the Apple trees now that they are dormant for the winter. I do that every year, but I’ve yet to hit the jackpot with the Apple crop. This year, however, was better than last, so I’ll be encouraging the trees again!

    Thank you for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes. We all realize it is you, our customers, that ultimately pay our wages and we appreciate the support and the fun. Happy Friday the 13th!

  • Everything You Wanted To Know About Software Updates *But Were Afraid To Ask

    Apple frequently releases free software updates for all of applications along with OS X. The Software Update feature in Mac OS X makes it very easy to determine and get what you need. There are a few tips that make keeping your Mac up-to-date especially convenient and easy, including setting an update schedule.

    Apple has posted a Support article detailing the procedure. I think it’s worth reading. For example, I didn’t know that it was possible to “hide select updates”:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2357, if you don’t want to install them.

  • MAC TREAT #105: Change the Default Color Of Highlighted Text in OS X

    A friend recently asked if it was possible to change the default color of highlighted text in OS X. He is working on a research project, and frequently needs to highlight text, especially in Safari. The standard basic grey color of highlighted text in OS X made it difficult to find highlighted text on the screen.

    Fortunately, it is very easy to change the default color of highlighted text. Simply open System Preferences (found by clicking on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen), then click on the *Appearance* button. In the Appearance pane, you will see a drop-down menu for *Highlight Color*. You can choose from several options, or create your own color.
