It's been running long enough now that I feel confident saying it's fixed my "Airport connecting to Mac Mini running Internet Sharing under Leopard" problem. Yay! Now I can put Leopard and Snow Leopard in the same cage!
Just a thought, what if screen dimming was disabled and OSX 10.6.2 turned it on?
I found a few settings were turned on or off from upgrading to 10.6.2, some or all of them were on my mums MBP iirc.
I bought iWork '09 after installing SL, thinking with Mail having native Exchange, I'd try to do without MS Office:mac 2008 altogether.
BOY is it a struggle using iWork in a Windows-heavy environment. The incompatibilities are quite incredible to my mind, and while one learns ways to work around some of them, I'm still seriously struggling 2 months in.
Pages adds an extra line break after a table, every time it exports one to Word, so if you try to work with continually saving Word files you just end up with masses of line breaks.
Pages does not export soft-returns to Word, it just makes them hard returns, which defeats their purpose.
Pages does not export bulleted list settings to Word very well, and it exports font information in a way that Windows doesn't understand, with for instance "Calibri Bold" rather than Calibri that is bold, so that it's annoying to change any formatting for Windows users.
Numbers exports sheet names to Excel stupidly - first you get (by default) "Sheet1 - Table 1", then similarly if you keep working on an Excel formatted file it exports as "Sheet1 - Table 1 - Table 1" and like with the Pages line breaks, it just goes on forever if you don't actively cut the name every time; even then it is not ideal.
Numbers always applies cell borders and then if you remove them it sets 'gridlines' to hidden when exporting to Excel.
Numbers has its own font and size preferences and then enforces those on any cells beyond what it has shown in the file; and Helvetica Neue is not a font that Windows tends to have, and the cell sizes are so way off Excel's norm. One could get around this by saving a file with 65535 rows and 256 columns (Numbers' limits STILL) visible, but Numbers takes a good minute to open or save a file that big, even when all the space is empty.
Keynote imports master slides from PowerPoint pretty well, but exports the master features to be selectable objects on the slides, and the exported file shows no master slides in PowerPoint. Images and such on slides exported move around at random. Graphs export surprisingly nicely, but the axes actually mess up on being imported to Keynote again.
It's hard going all right!
Hangs at end of install(registering updated components)
Did anyone else have problems with this update hanging
at the very end when "registering updated components"?
I held down the power button and rebooted and it shows as
10.6.2, but I wonder if everything is okay.

Mine stuck at the blue shutdown screen and I did the same thing. You might want to re-run the combo update to ensure everything on the system is aware of the update.
It definitely was enough. I was offering a just-in-case, as well as just continuing my high on posting about bugs/annoyances. Good to get the specifics out there IMO - anyone thinking about it should proceed with caution
.(sorry if this is a repeat)
yes, mine stopped working immediately following the update.
i opened System Preferences / Security, and "Disable remote control infrared receiver" was *not* checked. i checked it and then unchecked it. now my remote seems to be working.
Well it's been a few days and since updating I have fallen back in love with my iMac and have had no issues whatsoever.
Great stuff!
Great stuff!
Well I finally took the plunge, wasn't too sure about fixing something was absolutely not broken, but it continues to work perfectly, not a single glitch.
UPDATE: Popping speakers problem is still there. DAMMIT APPLE!!!
Sounds like a hardware problem.
Unfortunately I think it's a software problem:

Wow, judging by the massive amount of users contributing to that thread, it must be a widespread thing. I still think it's a hardware problem with that specific machine and not a Leopard/Snow Leopard problem.
Now, if it were a software problem, why would it start popping as soon as you turn the computer on (before the OS is even loaded)?
I've owned many, many Macs and seen many, many, many Macs and I've never run into a "popping speakers" problem.
I'm not saying that your problem doesn't exist, but maybe you should be bringing your Mac to Apple and have them warranty repair it, or think about getting a new computer, because it's not a software problem.
