Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.1

[Michaelgtrusa]

Seems ok for me. it took several min.

 

[Eric S.]

Apple has also released security updates for earlier operating system versions.

So did 10.5 get a "security update"? That would probably be a sign that 10.5.8 is really going to be the final numbered release for Leopard.

75 megs? Wow, mine isn't even 10 MB.

(MBP 17" 2.8 from June).

 

[jaw04005]

Yup mine is 9.8MB too running Core 2 Duo 2Ghz MacBook (Early 2007).

 

[macnerd77]

Well this sucks. :-(

Gonna try the install again

Nerver mind just restarted the update and i went fine

 

[Bostonaholic]

What minor release and path point release? There was 10.6.0 which was a major release and then today's 10.6.1 patch or minor release.

I'm thinking of 10 as the major release, 10.6 as a minor release, and 10.6.1 is a point release. And any subsequent updates in the future would be patches or "bug fixes".

Apple knows there are a lot of people like you that's why the 13 day .1 release. IT"S ALL A CONSPIRACY!!!!

Hmm, strange. After downloading, it said that it could not be verified...downloading again.

 

[jmcguckin]

downloading now, only 9.8MB on this end... either way, I'm not complaining, because this is just another (albeit small) step toward making Snow Leopard a more stable OS- and I say this in spite of the fact that I haven't had any issues with it prior to this update.

I love the new Marble UI in .1

 

[The Samurai]

Woah

Mines is a hundred meg.

MBP 13" - just got it a week ago an all..

EDIT: ok ive got two downloads, didnt see the file size of the other one lol

 

[Jimmetry]

On second thought, you might as well wait until 10.6.4... just for sh**s and giggles.

Well if .4 is the first one that actually contains substantial fixes, then perhaps. I haven't had any problems with Snow Leopard in the sense of serious bugs... and I doubt there's a big list of hidden problems they're addressing for an update that's 9MB. It'll be 75% Adobe. I want the little cosmetic things like having stack items show label colours... not exactly on Apple's priority list (they still haven't fixed the non-Seagate-related hard drive bug in the '09 MBPs)

tl;dr
Installing a point update requires a restart... which is tedious. Not worth it

Haha, nice try.

 

[brownieguy19]

Safari is definitely faster.

 

[Thomas Harte]

I doubt it will, but I hope it fixes my iTunes 9 issue. Every time I open up iTunes 9, I get the Firewall prompt that asks me to either "Allow" or "Deny" it incoming network connections. I click "Allow", but it still prompts me. I also checked my Firewall settings and iTunes is in there.

I used to get that for iConquer under 10.5 — no matter what I did, the OS was unwilling to remember my answer. In the end I just stopped using the software, it was so annoying.

I keep getting this error too.

A restart is tedious? It takes 1, maybe two minutes. 3 tops, if you throw in reloading someapps you’ve got open.

 

[devburke]

Safari is definitely faster.

Perhaps even…snappier?

Different Sizes

Do any of the people who are seeing the larger install size also have the latest flash update installed?

 

[Diaresi]

Do any of the people who are seeing the larger install size also have the latest flash update installed?

Yes. Flash isn't that big anyway

 

[cjmillsnun]

75.1MiB download here (still getting used to that...), still allows my hack into K64 (GOOD 'cos I'm working on Kexts)

And YES I did have the latest version of Flash installed before the update.

 

[rdowns]

Installed successfully. Printing to HP 1012 over an AE still not working.

 

[Rhalliwell1]

9.8meg for mid 2009 iMac (see sig)

 

[California King]

I keep getting this error too.
