Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.2

just updated via software update - which was blazing fast. I tried to download the combo but it was too slow. Update weighed at 499MB! All looks fine - but then I had no issues with 10.6.1 either.

next thing, a magic mouse update, come on apple give us gesture xpose!

- a graphics distortion in Safari Top Sites

That's the one on the list I've actually noticed. It happened so much I was starting to think they'd one it on purpose as some kind of cool effect.

They used to include RAW image updates with the OS. I guess they don't anymore. Does anyone know if they typically release a raw update coincident with an OS update? Or are they completely separate now?

I've been waiting for D300s support for over two months now :(

I think I had to wait about 6 months for the D300...
 
Anything about Flash?

I've read about some people having issues watching video online that requires a flash plug in. I've also noticed this on my machine. I have a new 21" iMac and this past week I've seen an issue where the CPU usage goes up and over 100% for the Flash plug in for Safari causing a playback lag. I've tried to install Firefox and got similar results. Any suggestions?
 
So far so good...I see improvement in both specific bugs and general performance...
 
It all seems to be working fine on my 2009 24" iMac. Although the download errored the first time about half way through, but was fine the second time.
 
Installed fine on my early 17" MBP (2.16GHz Intel Core Duo).

No issues with sound. I'm glad they fixed the issue of the sudden logouts. Only happened a few times but quite unnerving.
 
Mail for me is much faster, just pops right up now...

Was having stuttering problems with quicktime, guess I'll try that next

10.5.1 was bad

I don't care how many feature bugs there are when comparing to the single most absolutely inexcusable problem in 10.6.1. A bug that actually erased every single piece of data on your hard drive is far worse than a couple of features not working.

This is probably just something weird on my end, but after the update, nothing in the upper-right portion of my menubar is displaying, with the exception of dropbox. Meaning my clock, the fast user switch icon, spotlight icon, none of those are showing up. I ran a permissions verify/repair, still the same issue. Additionally, when I go to the Date/Time System Pref, the option to show the clock is unchecked, and when I try to check it, it shows up for a blink, then goes right back to unchecked.... tried creating a new admin user and even a standard user, but it's still not showing up.

My next thought is to try a permission check when booting off the dvd once I get home from work, but does anyone else have any suggestions before that?

btw, I don't do any modifications like resource themes or dock themes.... everything is standard.

So I lied, I figured out what it was.

I don't use Spotlight (please, don't flame, I'm not the only one who doesn't and I don't need to hear your reasons why you do and I'm stupid and whatnot) so I did actually remove the spotlight icon by modifying the Search.bundle in /System/Library/CoreServices. I reverted it back to how it should be, and all my icons are back.

Just wanted to mention this in case there's anybody else who had this issue.... give it a shot and good luck!

Lol, you honestly think that a couple of feature bugs are worse than losing pretty much every single piece of information on your hard drive? That's funny.

On the usability scale, absolutely. Very, very few people have encountered the "guest user" bug. Huge numbers had many major problems (not "a couple") with 10.5.1, and they complained much louder and longer than what we've heard about 10.6.1.

My update downloads also went way down.. then maybe an hour later, back to full speed. This affected Security Update as well, but it was already done by the time full speed was restored.

It did seem like an odd rumor that they would remove support for machines only a couple years old.

It would have been a new atrocity, but Apple has no problem dropping software that is a couple years old.
