I have an early 2006 white MacBook running a 2 GHz Core Duo and 2GB of ram, since installing 10.6.2 my fans are wizzing like there is no tomorrow even when everything appears to be idling.
I'm updated and I am pleased. SL is running smoother, there is no spinning beach ball when I go to system preference.
However, the right side of the menu bar (my right) where the airport, spotlight , time machine, and istat icons are, take about 5 seconds to show up after start up.
This was the case before 10.6.2.

Memory after 10.6.2

Does anybody with a macbook have a problem with their CAPS lock key?
My doesn't respond to being touched. But, if I touch it on using virtual keyboard, the green light comes on. Also, if I connect an external keyboard, the green light comes on on my macbook keyboard.
I spoke to Apple Care who said they'll pick it up, but I cannot really afford to lose it for any amount of time until January. I've only had the problem since I upgraded to SL.

Safari Slower??
Is it just me or does Safari seem to load web pages slower than before the update

Boot time increased
Just finished updating to 10.6.2 and noticed that the boot time is increased from 38 seconds to 59 seconds.
Tried many times, it came out the same numbers. There is nothing to load while booting the MACBOOK Pro 13.
Not a big deal, cause I never shut the computer, just let it goes into sleep mode. But just curious if other notice the same thing.

I know as much, but it was like when you move the mouse or type on the keyboard and would never EVER go away from the login screen or go back to sleep... very strange, almost like it was thinking something was being moved regularly... *shrug*
Good news though: this morning it appears to be fixed. Hooray!
NTFS Fixed
Looks like it fixed my issue with writing to remote NTFS drives. Prior to the update the file would copy but display an error at the end of the copy. I copied a few movies from my MBP to my main drive backup and ended up corrupting the iTunes directory on it. That was a nightmare to repair. Glad to see it's fixed in this new release.

Brilliant! Thanks! I actually changed it using MacPilot. Now Mail is just copying the address instead of the name too.
Ugh!
Most useless post I've seen in a looooong time! How about a comment about 10.6.2 - it's issues or non-issues - your political bs is irritating.

Great suggestion. I use that method often for other things. The problem here is a I have a list of names where some are capitalized and some are not. I go into Pages and tell it to give them all a Title Capitalization. If I copy and paste or save as a text file it remembers the lowercase. If I print it shows them all starting with uppercase so if I "print" to a PDF it also makes them all uppercase. This is the only way I can find to make all the names start with an uppercase letter. In 10.5 this worked well but with the new supposedly more accurate text selection in 10.6 it destroys my list and does random breaks. So everything works except for bringing it back into the spreadsheet (Open Office).
Got to love the Buddhist philosophy shown here - far too much venting at other people's comments goes on in here (and the internet in general)
True. The post you quoted was kind of refreshingly nice in a completely non-judgmental way. Always nice to see that. Although you've got to admit, this place is relatively mellow compared to the rest of 'the internet'.
My sound prefs now reset to internal speaker with every restart.
(Mac Pro)
Mine reset to internal speakers with the update, but that was the only time. Restarts are leaving it alone. I have it set to Digital Out that runs to my BOSE receiver. I have a Mac Pro 2006 (first generation). Sorry you are having problems.

The update has been working great so far. *knock on wood*
Since we're comparing.
I've done it twice since I read your post without problem. I have CS4. Just drag an image from Safari into the dock icon of PS and it opens no problem.
But how many of them deserved to be flamed; read all 26 pages of this news item alone and you'll want to throw a chair through a window. There is stupidity then there is stupidity expressed by people who think that they're cool or that they're still right even though there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary (aka the ******** who posted the xbench result as one example).
I've been using VMWare fusion 3 and Boot Camp. Both work fine for me. Hope you get it resolved.
Yeah, I'm not saying you don't have a point there too. I guess it's all about one's attitude. Certainly some kind of 'corrective' is probably needed to counteract certain questionable posts.
Beautiful! Thanks so much... just updated the setting. I completely forgot about that. My issues were on the other side -- my Time Capsule would remember how to be a network drive, but I'd have no Internet access.
I had issues with 7.4.1 as well, so I rolled it back to 7.3.2 a while ago. A friend of mine recently threw a party and tried to use multiple AirTunes speakers to play music throughout the house, but because he had 7.4.2 on his base station, the network dropped and had to be reset at least once every half-hour.
