There has been some confusion in the net-o-sphere over the existence of two Mac OS X 10.5.8 builds: 9L30 and 9L31a. Cs6 mac os x. I think it's time to clear up that confusion, now that Max OS X 10.6.0 has been released and nobody cares anymore about 10.5.x.
I have an old Mac mini 2006 with the following characteristics: System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) Kernel Version: Darwin 9.8.0 Boot Volume: Macintosh HD on which I need to install some tools. First of all note that I cannot use the browser because out of date and there are no software updates available from the Menu. Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5) is the sixth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. Antares autotune mac crack download. Leopard was released on October 26, 2007 as the successor of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and is available in two editions: a desktop version suitable for personal computers, and a server version, Mac OS X Server.

The Max OS X build version is stored in the following file on your hard drive:
On my machine, the build is 9L30. I installed 10.5.8, as usual, via the combo updater (because I'm a paranoid superfreak who also repairs permissions and offers sacrifices to Demeter). This was a prudent three days after 10.5.8 was released, though the combo updater was downloaded two days after release.
Lately (in the Holocene epoch), the Mac OS X installers have come in ‘flat' package format (i.e, 'smooth and even; without marked lumps or indentations' or 'lacking interest or emotion; dull and lifeless'). This makes them opaque to the casual observer. Fortunately, I am Klondike Kat. The installer .pkg file is actually a xar archive that can be read and extracted with /usr/bin/xar. To extract the package contents into the current working directory: Download chrome 47 for mac.
This gives us an ‘old-style' (Pleistocene) .pkg file whose contents we can view in Finder. The package contains, among other things, a Payload. Be careful not to ignite it, otherwise you may require intensive care, if not AppleCare. The Payload is a gzip archive, so I slapped a .gz extension on the file and gunzip‘ed it. After extracting that archive, you're left with … yet another archive. (Apparently the Matryoshka method of software distribution.) The new Payload can be read and extracted with /bin/pax:
The SystemVersion.plist from my original installer is for build 9L30, but the one from the installer I downloaded today is for build 9L31a. Thus, we have to conclude that Apple ‘hot swapped' Mac OS X 10.5.8. That is, they switched Mac OS X builds after release without bumping the version number.

Why Apple did this remains a mystery. Usually software developers do it when they discover an issue shortly after release but don't want to go to the trouble of making a public announcement of a new version. What was the issue, and do those of us who have build 9L30 installed still suffer from the issue? For the answer to those questions, you'll have to read the release notes.
