Now don't be snappy.

You know... I think my Mac just got snappier!

Let's hope there's a fix included in their for the Aiport Express 2008-003 "update" Apple pulled last week which removed the "n" from a/b/g/n on wireless cards and has been causing havoc with the ability to even turn on Airport. I'm surprised this hasn't even been mentioned on MDN yet. It's all over the support forums.

Wow - my i just installed it and my Mac is now faster!

My teenagers just snapped to attention when they read this.

SNAPTASTIC!

Yeeeeeesssssss.... the repair dollars will be flowing in....

Ring... "Uh, something is wrong with my system. I put the disk in, clicked update, and now it won't boot."

Seasonal income you know.

You can tell clients over and over and over "Back your system up completely, do a clean install of OS X Snow Leopard. Put your files back as needed."

Will they listen?

Nope.

Thank god.

I hop this fixes my auto update . . . EFI Firmware and that DVD thingy they just released keep popping up as items i need to install. They've been installed, and in the case of the EFI, 3 times.

Do y'all ever the the feeling that a cucumber is watching you?....

Just hoping that finally Time Capsule will be fixed.
Indeed I waited till 10.5.5 hoping this would happen.
So far haven't been able to backup any of my 3 Macs 10.5.x over ethernet.

better "snappy-guy" than "snippy-guy." if the time ever comes when our computers start getting snippy with us, it'll probably be too late for us to watch our backs...

matrix, here we come!

I wonder if in all this older MBP trackpads may get multi-touch gestures?

@vanfruniken
Time Capsure works for me, and backs up my wired and wireless Macs. Sounds like you've got a major glitch in your system...

Do the EFI Firmware update via the web site, NOT Software Update. It requires a bit of hand-holding that S.U. won't walk you through. I finally got it to run on my MacBook after months of S.U. telling me to download and install it.

But will it be zippier ?

Will the SNAPPINESS never end?

I can feel it...

I'm feeling pretty Snap happy about the whole thing!

I just updated the GF's work iMac from 10.5.2 to 10.5.5...
and I can report with absolute certainty an extreme gush of snappy!

OSX updates are starting to approach the size of windows service packs...unlike microsh*t however, OSX updates don't break the OS and/or apps and cause things like dll hell, al a windows...still, it's a little disconcerting an update so big....suggests many, many existing problem, al a windows!

Snappy and don't forget sassy too!

Wait for me!

I feel snappyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! :-D

Ok, I'm done now.

AT least service packs come maybe once in a year or two. You Mac guys are constantly having to download these huge patches.

Is your OS that broken?

Actually, I don't notice any problems with my system. The updates are nice though, they usually address problems that I *didn't* notice. Like, more sna... oh never mind.

I wonder if this will fix the odd problem that every mac I've used has (Intel anyways)...

It will periodically wake from sleep with the lid closed and then the fans will start full blast... (won't respond and has to be force powered off)

System Log says something about Bluetooth but it's 3 different macs all different generations...

But does it add any virtual firewire ports to my mac? That would definitely make it snappier

Be nice if Apple puts some snow effort into stability for me.com. It's certainly useful, but not exactly reliable, even now.

;(

@Dan:

This is just a guess, something worth checking anyways. Make sure in System Preferences that your computers aren't set to "Allow other computers to wake this computer from sleep".

Maybe what you're seeing is the effect of nearby devices (maybe Bluetooth, maybe network).

I hope it addresses the problem with difficulty screen sharing in iChat since 10.5.5 came out.

but it doesn't come with firewire or matte my screen. screw you apple!

jk.

these updates always fix problems i never have. is it just me? my macs have always run perfect (no exageration)

@kevin: You have to run those updates manually.. You'll find them in your utilities folder.
