Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.2

OK I installed the update 10.6.2 yesterday evening and I have been working all day long with it today (on my MBP Core Duo).

Everything is fine excepting two bugs :
  • When I put the MBP to sleep and reopen the lid, display came back at low resolution. Had to do it twice to get the right resolution back

  • I was unable to close Mail yesterday

That's it for me at this time...
 
finally :)
but strange thing my size of this update is 157.7MB..
& the update suppose to be almost 500MB or im wrong about that?:confused:

Did you upgrade or clean install and how old are your files?

I upgraded normally, no need to clean install here...as for how old the files are, I've just tested a comment with a file that is here since mid 2008...it works (although I normally don't insert comments in files).

Have you tried reindexing Spotlight?

Try something older than 2008 with Spotlight comments that you added back then and not just now.

This does nothing.

Well, as I said I can't test this because I don't add comments to files...I just wanted to make it clear that the feature as such works now...but I cannot tell if past comments have been deleted by upgrade processes.

p.s.: don't forget that comments live in the DS files...so if you erased/cleaned them, comments WILL be gone as a matter of course.

thank goodness

After reading the threads, I was afraid that this update wasn't going to fix my 27" iMac issues... but so far so good, all the problems I was having seem to have disappeared. But, I am only 1 day in so no sound judgement yet, but hopefully things will keep going how they currently are.

The upgrade process somehow preserves the comments that worked in Leopard and Tiger. Doing a clean installation renders anything pre-2008 useless. You'll see the Spotlight Comments in the Get Info inspector but in the file's kMDItemFinderComment it'll be null.

This isn't a Tiger to Leopard thing either. My breakdown occurs in 10.5.2.

This isn't the problem. I had Oynx do that ages ago back in Tiger. This doesn't somehow render the kMDItemFinderComment null. The comments still work in Spotlight but they just aren't visible in the inspector.

If you look at the file's kMDItemFinderComment the comments are still there. Please tell me how I can justify losing 4 years of my work.

ahhhhh....but I spoke too soon. Quicktime playback is choppy and mail seems to be doing strange things....blah

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).

Perhaps how to deal with posts that seem irritating is that they can be of benefit instead of making us angry (quite the transformation...if one wishes to see it that way) in the way of potentially discovering 'that' which triggers the negative reaction is NOT the comments or the people that post them... but perhaps an untrained instinctive reaction of ourselves since it is not an angry bug transmitted and infected us without choice. For posts that seem to be made out of ignorance, we wish them well on their way in making their own liberating discoveries. Save your chair for a more beneficial use ;)

As for the update of 10.6.2, things went very smoothly with no glitches yet to report. Best wishes to all. :)

Avidmacuser, are you related to Dalai Lama? :p
 
My buddy and I both installed 10.6.2 update last night on our 2.66Ghz 17" MBPs (Unibody) and have both noticed that our system temps under normal use have gone through the roof. Normally we'd have to fans set at 2k rpm and the machine would stay cool, now were having to keep the fans at 3-4k, or the machine gets too hot to use.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Check your CPU% usage in Activity Monitor. The fan behavior appears to be more aggressive on notebooks and the battery life is a little shorter under Snow Leopard.
 
Office back!

Joy and approval! My love/hate relation with Office 2008 may continue. This update has brought back my MS package to life. After a period of more and more frequent freezes all office programs refused to even load. No help from MS company ("you will be contacted within one work-day" *lol*), but this update did the trick whatever it was. In the mean time I have fiddled around with the iWork package, but sadly it is just not compatible with my company's word and excel files. Shape up.

On the back 'info' side you can choose a playlist from the pop-up ... except that the pop-up doesn't work ... not since iTunes 8 came out at least.

You know I never even looked at its back side, 100% right you are there. :eek:

I think, individual Apple engineers are assigned 'pet bugs', that they are allowed to keep.

This is one. Another one is the weather widget that likes to change its position.

You simply have to see the humanizing effect of this and wholeheartedly embrace such bugs. :) :apple:

LOL I like the theory. I embrace the reporting of such bugs, especially with the iTunes widget where I can reliably cause it to generate a crash report. As such I have submitted on its bugs every point point update since Tiger's release, and I have taken to writing them like it's a letter or something - I figure those Apple engineers can at least get some entertainment from their pet bugs :).

This time I wrote something like "Hi, it's the iTunes dashboard widget again. Yep, I'm still broken :(, after 2 major and 21 minor updates to OS X, and 2 major updates to iTunes to boot!"

I hope they appreciate the effort.

People actually use the iTunes widget? Why not just use your keyboard to stop and start songs or simply keep iTunes in the mini player with it hidden or something? A bug is a bug, but geeze... I doubt that people really use the iTunes widget.

In 10.6.1, about once a week, I got all the mail from my POP 3 accounts downloading again and marked as unread. Fairly easy to assign (sort by "read status", delete unread stuff), still annoying. Maybe they fixed that, who knows.
 
Installed on my Intel Core Duo Mac mini last night, everything seems to run well and the wireless dropout problem seems to have stopped. I'm a bit nervous to install on my MacBook Air since I've heard it makes the fan issue on Revision A's worse.

Have you checked out Open Office:
http://www.openoffice.org/

It was capable enough for me that I deleted MS Office. The one tweak I did was in preferences set the default save to be a MS Word Doc and MS Excel file so that my quick view works in the Finder and for easier compatibility with MS office users.
