Software updates from Apple webpage

[Buffalo]

Finally got the internet at home so thought i would spend a bit of time maintaining my MBP which i have had for about 9 months now. Went onto the software updates page and there is a mind-boggling array of stuff that i could download...

In the end i just went through the option on the desktop "apple" icon and hit the 'software update' option.

My question is, is that a sufficient way to upgrade the software or should i go through the individual lists...? I assume once the software update is completed the computer takes care of activating the upgrades, unless prompted otherwise..?

Thanks ~PHIL

That should take care of all OS level patches and patches or updates to Apple's own applications. You may want to do it a couple of times in a row though (until you stop getting any updates) as some updates don't show until you have installed prior ones.

It won't update any third party apps though (Office, Adobe apps etc).

No need to do the update over again. Normally all downloads will be shown and done if you leave them checked.
If there is other downloads that can't be done at the same time as others, then once the system installs the first showing, it automatically displays the next set (if there are any for your machine or the Apple apps you have).
