10.6.2 out now

The download was fast for me on both my machines.
I did have some Finder problem on my iMac after the restart (pinwheel, I tried to restart the Finder, it died, and then said it couldn't be restarted)... not sure what that was about, but it seems to have cleared itself up after a push of the power button.

The other is a news thread started by Arn and its waaay bigger. I think that one just has more action is all.
The 2-finger forward and back swipe on my Magic Mouse doesn't work after the update. It's enabled in the mouse preferences, tried de-enabling and re-enabling, no joy 
I'm still getting some weird Finder behavior at start-up on my iMac (but not my MBP)... the mouse and keyboard are inactive for quite a while (I can see and move the mouse pointer, but I can't click on anything and the Dock doesn't respond to the mouse-over), even though it looks like everything is loaded and ready to go. Once they finally start working, everything seems to be fine.

10.6.2. Gave me "Error 36"
Every single time I try to copy my folder full of files to my USB drive and/or my external hard drive, I get this error.
I'm at a loss of what to do.

Please help...
Hey guys, I'm really hoping someone can help me out here. It's 2:00 in the morning and I NEED to be working on my machine right now, but I can't. Here's what happened:
I installed the latest Snow Leopard update on to my 24" iMac, and after the obligatory restart, it has now been frozen on the blank loading screen for almost a hour. Just the default SL desktop background with the eternal pinwheel. When not touched, the screen saver comes on, but that's all.
Somebody PLEASE help, preferably as soon as possible, I'm desperate! Thanks in advance.

Have you done a force shutdown by holding the power button until it turns off?
I'd try that if you can't turn it off any other way because it's bad to turn your computer off that way, then I'd try turning it on again, if that fails then I'd turn it off again and boot from the Snow Leopard DVD and restore from the last Time Machine backup that you had.
Did you backup before installing the update?

I had this happen as well. Safari froze and then so did mail and iTunes. Force quit didn't work at all so I had to hold the power button to turn it off. When I turned it back on, it got to the spinning wheel and that too quit spinning. I had to restore to a backup from an hour before.
Hey guys, thanks for your quick responses.
Yeah I did a force shut down, and the exact same thing that happened to SpaceKitty happened to me. Mail and Safari were trying to open and everything just froze up. Couldn't force quit any applications or relaunch Finder.
I definitely have a TM backup on my Time Capsule from like an hour or two ago, but I've never done the whole restore from a backup thing, could definitely use some pointers! Thanks.
Oh and also, I don't know if this means anything, but booting into Safe Mode seems to work fine (as a temporary fix.)

It's easy to restore from a backup. Put the restore DVD in and start up the computer. Hold the option key when you hear the ding and then select the DVD from the menu. When you see the utilities menu, select that and then select restore from backup. The rest is easy. It may take an hour or more depending on how full your HD is. Mine took about 40 minutes. Didn't lose a thing.

I'm pretty sure that is the error code when you try to copy a file larger than 4 gigs (or is it 2 gigs?) to a FAT32 formatted drive, which is the default factory format of most hard drives and USB Sticks.
I tried copying a file that is only 1.4GB to my external hard drive and my USB stick. Before I upgraded to 10.6.2. it worked fine, now I get this error.
I figured it out.
Both drives were formatted FAT 32. I reformatted them to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and now all is good. I wonder what happened though.

Finder Error 10810 is not mended for external hard drives on wake from sleep. I spoke to a level 2 tech today and he confirmed there was no fix for this issue in 10.6.2. Apple is working hard on this but it is proving difficult to resolve. I will be installing live data tracker on my iMac, when I get back from Italy on Monday, to try and assist Apple with this issue, as apparently I am one of not too many, who has this happen every time rather than intermittently.
Multi-finger trackpad gestures were not working after 10.6.2 on my MBP. The tech 2 said this is very common and is cured by a PRAM reset. This did the trick.

I had a little problem with my menu bar items disappearing after upgrading, but I found out it was due to me editing Search.bundle within Spotlight. So all is well now!
OK so safari took a nose dive for me with 10.6.2...
see the two attached screens:
The first one shows what my Top Sites looks like now with the update.
The second one shows what my History looks like with the update.
I was having no Safari issues before aside from the occasional crash (which was more frequent in 10.6, but still only once or twice a week).

What method did you use to install hackintosh? Because I also have a Q6600 and it is only SSE3. But i have searched all over, and i cant seem to find anyone else with the problem! but i know there must be people with older core2 duos with this problem. But all i can find is stuff on the Atom processor.
I'm getting ~10MB/s & downloads from apple.com are typically very fast in Europe.
