About the Mac OS X 10.3.5 Update (Combo)

This software updates Mac OS X 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.3, or 10.3.4 to version 10.3.5. Tip: If you are updating from Mac OS X 10.3.4, you can use this smaller update instead.
Important: Read Before Installing


Installation

There are two ways to update to Mac OS X 10.3.5: Software Update or Standalone Installer ("Web Update"). You only need to use one of these methods to update.

Automatic Software Update

Software Update, located in System Preferences, is a tool for automatically downloading and installing the latest Apple software. Software Update may have linked you to this document for additional information about the update.

Because some updates are prerequisites for others, you may need to use Software Update more than once to get all available updates.

Standalone Installer ("Web Update")

Two different standalone installers (or "Web Updates") are available from Apple Downloads: One that updates Mac OS X 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.3, and 10.3.4 to 10.3.5 (described in this document), and also a different installer ("delta") which updates version 10.3.4 to 10.3.5.

Standalone installer updates, particularly the "combo," are useful if you have multiple computers to update that are running different versions of Mac OS X 10.3, but you only want to download 10.3.5 once.

Tip: You don't need one of these if you've already updated via Software Update.

Where can you find standalone installers? At Apple Downloads! For example, here.
