[smartalic34]

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

yes, I did install the latest Flash player before this update, and I'm on a core duo machine. yet I have the 75.1MB install...

Safari does see more peppy. Also iTunes 9 is running much quicker. Only took 2 bounces to open instead on the usual 7 bounces.
😀

Haha, nice try.

I heard from reliable sources that .2 brings a new Basalt UI. It's gonna be awesome! Even more chrome than iTunes 9 😀

Seem to have fixed my problem with Safari not staying in the Dock.

A 13 day point release, wow.

The OS has been in Golden master for a while longer than that. Once the OS hits golden master they start on the next minor point release instead of patching the master.

In short, they have been working on this since the OS was GM.

and really, what would that combine?

The .1 update and my stupidity? 😀
Thanks for the answer!

They removed the 'Download Update only' option in software update and replaced it with 'Go to Apple downloads' and its not there yet ... 🙄

 

[borcanm]

Oh good. Now I can finally install Snow Leopard.

Clean Install versus Upgrade....... Any recommendations?

Clean install.

 

[dwman]

Nice timing. I was thinking of upgrading to SL this weekend anyway. 🙂

 

[treichert]

Did you download SL or did u install it with the retail CD?

Doesn't matter, they're the exact same thing.

 

[ncsmith4]

I hope it fixes the crazy heat & fan noises on the MacBook Pros.

SERIOUSLY! Thank God other people are experiencing this and it's not just me...

Well, not "thank God" youre experiencing this. But Im glad its not just me. You know what I mean... haha.

EDIT: Mine is all installed. Too early to tell though.

I always perform a clean install. It's the only way to go. IMO

Yeah, it's not there for Dell Hackintosh users. 😛

Anyone else's speed way down? It's taking me about 15 minutes to download

 

[yetanotherdave]

Has the safari build number changed? Anyone have any plugins affected by this update?
(10.6.0 is Version 4.0.3 (6531.9))

 

[Anuba]

So far Safari seems faster, yeah. The first launch after a reboot used to take forever.

My MBP was nice enough to hang after I installed the 9.8 MB update... the installation progressed nicely but afterwards I got stuck on a blue screen with the spinning wheel. I left it for 10 minutes before I forced a reboot.

 

[wongwil]

doesn't fix the multi-touch 4-finger swipe expose as mentioned in this thread:
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/771786/

Kind of a bummer because that's the only thing that still bugs me on SL. I don't understand how something that worked perfectly on Leopard became buggy in SL. Hopefully it will be addressed in 10.6.2.

 

[Stridder44]

Safari is definitely faster.

Newer version perhaps? After applying the 10.6.1 update I'm seeing Safari v. 4.0.3 (6531.9). Not sure what the version was before I applied the 10.6.1 update, or if it even changed.

Ok, I guess the version numbers didn't change then.

seems to have fixed the pointer from jumping around while in zoom mode. that was the only bug that i was aware of in 10.6.

 

[electroshock]

Software Update kept timing out during the 10.6.1 download. Fired up HTTP Scoop (tuffcode.com app -- good stuff) and got the URL that software update was asking for.

Then fired up Terminal and did:

$ wget <URL>

Sure enough, the connection dropped once during the download but wget didn't miss a beat and promptly reopened the connection, resuming where it'd left off. Seconds later, I had a 10.6.1 dmg image, and am now booted into 10.6.1.

Nope still the same build number Version 4.0.3 (6531.9)
i don't have any plugins installed so i can't check those
🙁
