For some reasons, if you want to download the older version of Mac OS X 10.6.x and 10.7.x combo updated manually, here is the collection of the list. Usually, the Mac OS gets the update via the App store. But if you are Hackintosh user or IT geek who wants to play around with the updates or your Mac OS X is not finding the next combo update with the App store, then manually downloading the update is the only option.
Manually downloading the Mac OS X updates separately and keeping those DMG files is a great way of dealing the Mac computers which don’t have the Internet. Also, if you need to deal with the OS X update with multiple computers, keeping the combo update DMG in USB or network share becomes handy to update them quickly rather than downloading and installing on each computer individually.
