Security Update
How can I find what the latest security update is on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard? On my old MacBook Pro, running Tiger, I find the file in System Profiler>Logs>Software Update.log. I cannot find this file in Snow Leopard. I find the install log, but it doesn't show any of the security updates. In Tiger, I also find the info at Macintosh>Library>logs>Software Update, but Snow Leopard doesn't list the Software Update file on this same track.
I am stuck, help. I'm not sure what version is on the Snow Leopard computer.
Thanks

Re: Security Update
But, I don't see anything in this link that tells me how I find out what specific update is loaded on my computer. Did I miss something?

Re: Security Update
Have you tried:
System Preferences-->Software Update-->Installed Software
That should list everything you've downloaded and installed since the OS, in your case Snow Leopard.

Re: Security Update
Good call, Richard.
Here's a screenshot of the latest updates, which I mentioned in another thread.

By the way, why don't the two smug Ricks start Ricks' Café Américain in PA? I'd gamble eat there!

Re: Security Update
Thanks guys! That did it. Right there in System Preferences>Software Update>Installed Software tells me everything I wanted to know.
Simple when you know where to look.

Re: Security Update
I had missed that too. But I have to say it's a little strange that you can't find installed updates in Software Updates the app, but only in Software Update the Preference Pane.JerryFreilich wrote:That is so cool! I had not known this....
