Installed 10.5.2. Are the quicktime, Itunes, and Frontrow updates safe to install now
I've installed the 10.5.2 update into Zephy's 10.5.1, everything seems to be running just fine. Using EFI and the new kernel. So, am I safe to use software update to get the newest quicktime, frontrow and Itunes? Is there anything special…

Marvins utitily?
I'm kinda new to OSX, i'm lucky to be running! lol.. can you tell me, is this part of the Zpehyroth disk? or something I should try to download?
EDIT: Found the application.. but cant seem to find any documentation that's clear on how to use it
Any help would be greatly appriciated
Pardon my ignorance. I had read that forum, and several other forums about Marvin, but couldnt find any clear instructions on its use. However, I've decided that these updates are not as crucial as I once thought.
Thanks for the help.

As with all the quicktime updates, you will need to patch it with Marvin's utility.
If you found it on the Wiki, you've also found a link to the thread at insanelymac describing Marvin's and it's use... Go back and look above "download" for "thread"...
I never used Marvin with these updates. In fact Marvins has never worked for me since it can never find any files to patch. The updates are fine to install. Just make sure you replace your quicktime component file with the itunes fix one to get your front row and covers to work.
neither for me.. anyway itunes/quicktimes updates work perfectly without patching, guess i am lucky
if you download the updated software manually and download from their designated servers, works flawlessly to me. Quicktime and iTunes work. Only problem is the fact that iTunes' Cover Flow crashes all the time.
There's a fix for itunes coverflow check #leoamd on irc.
[cite] DoiX:neither for me.. anyway itunes/quicktimes updates work perfectly without patching, guess i am lucky
no crashes, working perfectly with iTunes Coverflow, QuickTime & Safari update!
@ lag0matic
I would recommend to install eddie11c's Leo4All V3. Zephyroth's Leopard versions have some problems. Then use his AMD updater and update to 10.5.3. Backup the Extensions of 10.5.2, especially gfx cards don't work with the 10.5.3 kexts. Then search in the net for Kalyways 10.5.3 Update, there's an installer for the 9.3.0 kernel in it.
@naquaada,
This thread is old bud - lag0matic hasn't been back since Feb, though i'm sure if he was here he would appreciate the help
so zeph's software update is out.. so what's the difference between marvin's utility, and zeph's software update? Can't you just use zeph's software update for updates, without marvins?
yep, ue ASU 0.5 to install the updates. It will work fine
i cant get asu .5 to even look for updates, so no it doesnt work fine.
