Wow. Half a gig. I'll be selling CDs in front of the apple store.

Thats a biggun'. Hope it fixes some of the random wonkiness I've experienced. Cross fingers

So does this mean it's "imminent"?

I hope 10.6.2 fixes iChat AV.

So, that 6 GB's I got back from the install...seems I was just borrowing it for a little while.

Please have a fix in there for Mail. I just can't fix that stupid issue with email that is already in my inbox getting reloaded, giving me duplicates.

Yes, I've tried the fixes on the Apple discussion boards. No, they have not worked.

@ Gosh, I sure hope you're kidding...

@ Jimbo

I have the same issue. Frustrating.

Snow Leopard update has gone smooth as silk for me.

THIS is why we WAIT for a few point updates before jumping in and doing major system upgrades!!!

I ALSO just odered my Vectorworks 2010 Upgrade today, which ALSO just had it's first service pack 1 ... Cheeses, I loathe the term .. . It makes me think of Fudge Pack and Microsoft... Which really DO go together!!!

Basically, 10.6 has been very good for me, just some minor irritations that seldom repeat.

I think 10.6 must have had a lot more under the hood stuff than we realized.

Compare it to a Windows upgrade.

We have a lot less drama. Irritations, yes, but things still work.

love snow leap., the few glitches are minor compared to speed increase i've experienced.

yeah, for the most part its been really smooth. Just a few minor things. I did get a KP though for the first time ever. I was in Aperture 2 when it happened. I guess there are some fixes for that as well.

148 components that have seen tweaks including AppleBacklight. Seriously? AppleBacklight? What could possibly be tweak with the backlight? The steps of brightness?

I'm a Mac, and 10.6.2 was my idea.

Hope this fixes USAA's banking feature . SL screwed up the java or something

Massive Snow Leopard Update = One Fat Cat

I hope this resolves those massive memory leaks I experience with Safari. They were bad before but gaaawwwwd; I can't run it more than a day or two before it chews up almost 2 GB of RAM. Then I have to close it down and restart it. And unlike Firefox, I lose what I had in my open tabs.

Beach ball of death / crashes often on wake-up since Snow Leopard. Hope it gets fixed. Reminds me of my past in Windows.

For the most part, the update should replace existing components, not add hundreds of megabytes of new ones.

Hope it adds support for the 7d.

@Deus Ex Technica

LOL

Sounds like a third party RAM problem.

I bought SL day one, and have had zero problems on an 24" iMac, what are you running SL on?

Yeh, me too, getting a lot of beachballing everywhere

Install Glims! It saves your browser state, among other cool and necessary features.

Duplicate Mail Problem set your preferences to remove it off the servers immediately when retrieved.....

Oct 28, 09 - 10:12 pm Comment from: Lilochris

Overall it's been quite smooth.

My only issue is with Safari. It crashes 50% of the time when I access yahoo mail. I never had this issue when it was with Leopard.

It's a Safari issue since there are no issues @ all when I use Firefox.

Yeah, its weird, cuz this is the first OS X release where (since there's no new features), I'm not in a rush to get. Once 6.2 comes out, I'll get the upgrade, but, I'm kinda surprised there's been so much wonkiness. Drivers.

Sure hope this fixes Mail - crashes EVERY time I try to forward an email using the address book to add recipients. And DVD Player basically doesn't work when my Macbook is connected to the 24" Apple display. Unplug it and the DVD player works fine.
I've had none of these problems running Windows 7 in Boot Camp. Actually I've had no problems with Windows 7 at all. Shape it up, Apple. When I pay a premium price I expect a premium product that just works.

SL has worked fine for me, some issues with mail telling me it's downloading hundreds of emails, then nothing is there. And the memory leaks have caused me to restart Safari every day.

Other than that it's been snapalicious!

I upgraded to Snow Leopard on the third day after its release, and aside from some initial wonkiness it's been mostly smooth sailing.

And I'm amused by the people who make a point to highlight SL's (few) problems while singing the praises of Windows 7 – but then, Microsoft's monopoly position has left them somewhat lacking in the subtlety department.

The two only buggy things in Snow Leopard I have had since day one is my Latest Gen Macbook Pro 17" get a black screen occasionally waking from hibernate by lifting the lid and my Mini used as a Home Theater Mac lost its remote support with Plex.

Other than those two, I really like Photoshop CS4 opening in like 4 seconds...

Traded my 24" with 10.6 in for a 21" with 10.6.1. [I really have no room, but I wanted the 24-bit panel]

So far — on a computer I've owned since Saturday — I've had an 'all caps' issue. Even tho' the Caps Lock wasn't engaged, and the little LED wasn't on.

A 'won't wake from sleep', issue.

And my Time Machine HD just unmounted on its own for the second time in two days.

I reset the SMC. I tried to zap the PRAM. Apparently you can't do that with a wireless keyboard. D'oh!

@Stargazer
I got KP yesterday two, first time on my new MBP, and Aperture was involved. I think SL and Aperture don't like each other? I hope 10.6.2 and Aperture X will fix that...

Good tech friend got a one-way ticket to Hell with Windows 7. Upgrading from Vista, his problems have quadrupled and he's seriously considering a Mac.

I installed Snow Leopard Day 1, my only issue was no support for an older Canon Laser printer, and a Canon patch fixed that two weeks later.

Suck it, MS.

People who are having issues with Snow Leopard's current release should (1) create a new admin user account, log out and log in to the new account, and see if their issues go away, or (2) if (1) does not help, back up their personal user data (or use the Time Machine backup), start up from their Snow Leopard disc, erase their internal drive, install a fresh Snow Leopard system, and restore their data from the backup into the new system. (1) or (2) will resolve 95% of problems, mostly caused by issues or incompatibilities in their existing Leopard system before the upgrade.

Same here - slow, constant beachball, takes forever to wake and spin up HD... My snow beta was fast and problem free. Hate the current version.

Oct 29, 09 - 01:52 am Comment from: Jubei

I'm a PC ( Piece o' Crap ). Windows 7 was my idea of HELL!

I hope it's imminent. Planning on increasing my old MacBook's snappiness with 10.6.2.

Golden Rule #247 - always hold out for .2!

Since I'm taking the conservative approach and not upgrading to Snow Leopard until at least 10.6.6, this all is entertaining reading -- seeing you paying beta testers getting this all sorted out for the rest of us late-upgraders. Warms the heart.

I notice Snoe Leopard needs to rehighlight every single app when force quit. I ways to return, return etc.

Oct 29, 09 - 07:54 am Comment from: Mac-nugget

So one could say that the release is imminent?!

Oct 29, 09 - 07:58 am Comment from: Mac-nugget

@JJJ
You might as well wait for 10.7.6 or better yet 10.8.6 now that will be a stable one!

Regarding the seeming influx of comments critical of SL, my 'crap detector' is going off. Methinks the MS trolls are running amok.

@Gosh

What is PowerPC ? It sounds old...

Oct 29, 09 - 08:36 am Comment from: January 24, 1984

Mail is shaky. On MacPro, after "save attachments," it locks up over half the time. Force quit is the only option.

Preview only opens the first image in a highlighted folder of images.

GoLIve is even less stable than before.

Otherwise, fine.

I dont believe ANYTHING that Arnold Ziffel says.

@Macarina,

Well, whatever floats your boat.
