wow, still no 10.6.2 today!

[doug in albq]

I wonder what Apple's problems with this update are?

[samcraig]

I missed the press release, memo or postcard that said there would be a 10.6.2 release today. Can you link me? Oh wait... maybe the problem is with your impatience and not Apple. Just a thought.

There is almost 30 minutes until it is afternoon and yet people are worried that it is not released today. The day has not even ended to worry about the release LMAO!

That's the beauty of Apple's software releases. Every day, any day, at any time, it can suddenly be your birthday, and you get a surprise present!

If you are really really really excited about Apple updates, then, yes, it could be. It could also be a sign from on high, "Get Out More". :D

Dude, relax. You can't get annoyed if people are not "with you" on being upset that 10.6.2 has not been released as of yet. When you create threads, you need thick skin because you will get mixed responses.

That being said, 10.6.1 works decent for my Macs in my house, yes, it could use an update to address bugs but it's not that serious and personally, I can wait until Apple gets all the fixes bundled so 10.6.2 will be worth the wait. :)

No attacks I saw. Did someone call you names? No, just a bunch of loons having fun. Myself, I realized I'd go bananas and start flinging poo if I got too personally worked up waiting for the next OSX/Mac/iPhone/whatever release.

Most folks have similar methods of dealing with the anticipation, it appears. Someone has gravy in their pockets, I understand. Now, I'd rather have bananas, but that leads to misunderstandings. That's just me.

"Apple Church", huh? Where'd you come up with that? Do you have to tithe, or is it like Scientology where you pay by the hour/level?

[Unspoken Demise]

This life is but a mortal vessel. Once I pass from this life, Steve has guaranteed me eternal life in :apple: heaven for eating the church crackers and drinking the :apple: Kool-aid.

[calderone]

Wait a minute. The OP is fawning over an update that will likely just fix bugs and not bring new features, but everyone replying is in the "apple church?"

There are already threads on 10.6.2. You could have posted in there, or better yet go out and enjoy your life. When you come back, there may be an update waiting.

Just because we don't agree with you doesn't make us members of some apple church anymore than us thinking you are anti-apple because you're insinuating apple has issues because a release isn't out

As for "get a life" - have you ever noticed that when people use that it's a bit hypocritical? You started a thread because you're uber-impatient "Wow - still no 10.6.2 today!" and we should get a life? Maybe if you had more things in yours, you wouldn't be clicking "software update" refresh over and over to see if one is out yet....

[doug in albq]

magic mouse software released today says something like this: there will be no 10.6.2 in the very near future.

Now I see why so many defensive snarks hit this thread up.

Maybe Apple is trying to figure out how to keep Rebel EFI from working…and they are having a difficult time.

Or maybe apple is having a difficult time with the complete data loss bug.

Or maybe Apple's stock is entirely too overvalued, so here comes a reason or two to plunge that stock, like a buggy OS that Apple is taking its sweet time on fixing.

There are many bugs in SL, if you are not experiencing any good for you, some of us do more than browse the web and email with our computers.

[Watabou]

I would rather have 10.6.2 fix bugs than to create some more. Plus, I can wait because I'm perfectly happy with SL. And I don't just to email or just internet either.

Yes. Probably. or not. We don't know.

Defensive? Against what? Defending what? Dude, it's a fact that needs no defense -- there is no 10.6.2 today, and won't be until Apple releases it. it is what it is. I'm sorry you are having a hard time dealing with it.


Maybe Apple is trying to figure out how to keep Rebel EFI from working…and they are having a difficult time.

I really don't think so. When you go for a drive, do you re-route when you discover a mosquito in your planned path?


Or maybe apple is having a difficult time with the complete data loss bug.


It has never been a "complete data loss". It's happened to a select unfortunate few. Never happened to me. Has it to you? Didn't think so. Don't make mountains out of sand grains.


Or maybe Apple's stock is entirely too overvalued, so here comes a reason or two to plunge that stock, like a buggy OS that Apple is taking its sweet time on fixing.

Now you are just hallucinating. If that were ever to be proven true, people are going to jail.


There are many bugs in SL, if you are not experiencing any good for you, some of us do more than browse the web and email with our computers.

There are many bugs in everything. Since you are the advanced uber user, have you taken the time and effort to document these bugs, and submit them to Apple via Feedback? I mean, since you are doing all these advanced things which are not surfing or email, think you might find time to tell Apple about all these bugs? Or does it feel better to hang around various forums and complain about nothing specific?

As a side note, I just gone done installing Windows 7 on another PC. it seems fairly decent, kinda quick, no vast suckage as was in Vista. Why don't you go buy a copy of 7 and be done with all the trouble you're having with OS X? Nothing but pain and headaches here. Grass is greener over in Windows land. I'm sure you'll be happier, for a little while.

[HLdan]

Yeah, like install haxies that change the look of the dock and using retarded plug-ins to make Safari do crazy things besides surf the web like it was made to do, and like install old ass software that people KNOW won't work with SL. Oh yeah, one more thing I'm sure many people here with problems do is torrent illegal softwares.

Honestly man, that was a very elitist thing for you to say. Power users can have great experiences with SL with very minimal issues as well. I, for one am a power user and I have 3 Macs with SL and I have had very minimal issues if not any. Apple can take their time with 10.6.2.

If many people (including power users) aren't having issues with SL and YOU are, what does that tell you? :rolleyes:

[iBug2]

They not only have to deem it ready, they have to deign to admit the previous version is not fully perfect. The deigning process takes some time, and requires many offerings from the faithful.

No OS release is fully perfect. 10.6.2 will have its own problems which will be fixed in 10.6.3 which will introduce its own new problems and it goes on like that forever. So they don't need to admit anything, everyone already knows it's impossible to make a capable enough OS totally bugfree.

And if anyone forgot all that, Apple has now reminded them.

[MWPULSE]

i myself im enjoying SL.. a couple of apps dont work the way they should.. and protools recording software isnt even officially supported yet (which for a huge company like digidesign, a sub company owned by Avid i find pretty attrocious) but even that, is reliant on them developers getting off their asses n working to fix it ;-) a couple of plugins though, that im not really missing dont work.. and i havent got any data loss issues, everything i wanted back from my leopard backup, i got back.. The only problem i have is just general small time crashes n thats it :-)

I love :apple: Church.. its brilliant, and verrrrry shiny!! :p The buildings always look pretty as well :D

[doug in albq]

just for the record, I love the Apple church too!;)

Also, I do not have a huge amount of issues with SL, but I do have a nagging few.

I guess I am most dismayed by Apple, and many popular Apple tech websites including Macrumors dangling the idea that the 10.6.2 update was imminent...and this was last week.

BTW, Apple's stock price is $16 lower than its high just s couple of weeks ago...just saying.

Speculation is never actually as good as a real news report.. apple are one of the best in the biz in actually making money from just announcing something like an OS x.x.x release.

The stuff that macrumors puts up is just research and further insight/speculation so there never was actually a geniune report as such from apple..

At you being dismayed with apple, they are working to remove alot of the botch code, and make it more solid, supporting more printers, network devices.. etc etc so why wouldnt you want them to make it as solid as possible? thus taking a bit longer to work on it.. i'd much they do it right, or at least get it 90% there, then there are less upgrades at later date.

:-)

[doug in albq]

after doing some additional research, I think the delay in the 10.6.2 update has to do with the very latest iMacs (21.5 & 27 inch), and the particular issues they seem to be having.

But who knows...

[dejo]

My meaning, which you apparently missed, is that once you're standing in it, there's no point pretending you aren't. As in, no point worrying about working on a 'perfect' update or 'polishing the turd.' Just start fixing, and putting out the bug fixes.

I don't care when 10.6.2 is released but if it fixes the airport issue that some computer on 10.6.1 see (my mini included), I'll be very happy.

My meaning, which you apparently missed, is that once you're standing in it, there's no point pretending you aren't. As in, no point worrying about working on a 'perfect' update or 'polishing the turd.' Just start fixing, and putting out the bug fixes.

And they are fixing.

10.6.2 introduces 150+ bug fixes. A new seed was released this week for testing.

A little insight into the industry, the first version (and the first fixes) of many software packages are normally still very buggy, case in point with both Tiger and Leopard which didn't start getting fully stable until the second round of serious bug fixes, because they get a reasonably stable system out in the first round of fixes. I see Snow being no different, and they will not rush out the bug fixes with the potential of introducing more serious bugs. imagine the guest account bug (which at this time is limited) being made more widespread by a botched fix.

I am at a lessons learned meeting from a botched round of fixes to a bespoke software package we use at work. I actually made the call to roll back to the previous version. Imagine the embarrassment of Apple releasing 10.6.2, finding a more serious bug and sending out another update that rolls back Macs to 10.6.1 . It doesn't bear thinking about.

And FYI Apple is fully aware of the issues with Snow Leopard. Their attitude is "better the devil you know", a very common view in the industry.

All I want is working OpenCL drivers for my 4850.

Late? Was there some kinda release date or deadline Apple missed?

Again, stock price has nothing to do with looming OS updates. You might wanna see how the NASDAQ Index is doing in the same time frame. Is this lack of an update affecting the entire market?

Since the patch version is increased by 1 or 2 depending on your base OS, that gets reported to shareholders. This fascinates them and they start buying more stock.

When Leopard users convert, it increases tenfold. You didn't know that?

[Peace]

There IS NO performance "bug" with the new iMacs. Period.

Yes Snow Leopard uses a lot of CPU power for Flash but that's on any Intel system.

Until Apple changes over to a pure Cocoa framework for it's video AND Adobe changes it's Flash over to Cocoa that "bug" will exist.

Why do people keep on thinking it would be released on a Tuesday? It can be released anytime in a week except on a weekend if for some reason they had to put it up on a weekend which I doubt that would happen. After what happened with the Atom BS who knows if Apple will reconsider since I witness a lot bitching about that also. 10.6.2 would probably be not release by end of this month or until next year. It is obvious apple is trying to fix more than what 10.6.2 list of fixes were and plus they want to make sure everything works perfectly before releasing to the public. Yes I know I experienced few of the issues a lot of you have with Snow Leopard especially the Open CL crashes but I can still work around it.


I rather get a perfect 10.6.2 release rather than a 10.6.1 type of release lmao.

hey, is 10.6.2 ready yet?

Why do you even ask here, why don't you just check software update? :rolleyes:

because we will know HERE, long before my "software update" will realize its ready;)

[nefan65]

Is it ready? Now? How about now? Now? Ok..now? What about now? Now?

Because snow leopard sucks so bad for most of us....

Most of us??? Don't you mean "relatively few of us". I have been running 10.6.x problem free since the day of release and I did an upgrade install.

S-

Really now? And how would anyone here know before it appears on SW update or Apple's download page?

You have an odd definition of "most" :rolleyes:

Is another one of these threads really necessary?

haha, it is the same one!

BTW, are you trying to eschew discussion at a Mac discussion forum?

I guess if the discussion is not painting Apple in the most positive light then it is OK here at MacRumors, right?

(The whole tag-team of bois are back)

P.S. Every day I read around the forums I find out about an additional SL bug.

"Apple's Vista?" ….the jury is still out.

Are you that dense to not have realized this thread and another made today were merged?

Since the rest of your post is based on the same misguided assumption I won't be responding to the rest of your nonsensical rant.

Wow, someone has a problem. Calm down, you're not King you know.

Can you please point out where I am not calm? I don't see how pointing out his error in responding to my post (from another thread) suggests I have things in my anal cavity. And where did I claim I was King? This is new to me.

You're NOT calm, you're plainly rude and offensive, and there was no need for that. I suggest you apologise before I report you.

I wish I had your ability to read a person's state of mind over the Internet. That would be a handy skill.

And again, how am I rude and offensive? Are you not the one who just said I had a wooden pole up my ...? Who needs to apologize here? I already reported you for your blatantly offensive comment.

I apologise - sorry mate.
