Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.3

[SilentPanda]

will it fix my screen?

That would completely depend on what is wrong with your screen. Maybe if you gave some more information...

758.8MB.. It's a biggie!

Hopefully this paves the way for Steam/Source coming over *early* April. The sooner the better.

I hope it doesn’t introduce any new problems as ive not really been having any old ones.

I don't see it, does it have it or not? I was hoping that it would be in this update as well.

TRIM afaik isn't an official standard yet, so I don't think it'll be included. Plus, there are some drives that are able to do trim by themselves without any OS interaction, which imo is the way to go anyhow.

Also Mac OS X Server has been updated:

. 10.6.3 Server Update Combo:

Aueua!

Apple does not "merge" operating systems. Snow Leopard 10.6 is the successor to Leopard 10.5, just as the latter was the successor to Tiger 10.4.

Strange, CS4 as a whole works perfect for me.

Thank you for Windows file server fix!!!

I've tried so many times to transfer a folder, then that wouldn't work. So I zipped it, and that wouldn't work. Every time I received the same error relating to file corruption, and I knew that was wrong.

Thank you Apple!

Not quite true. This is not a new feature upgrade. It exists only to fix bugs. If you don't have any of these bugs, you only have potential downside with no up.

I am generally one of the first to install new software (I usually install it on a test system first). I will not be installing this soon because it will be of no use to me.

He was talking about not upgrading to snow leopard from regular 10.5.8 leopard. I was referring to him not upgrading to snow leopard and his comment about if its not broke then do need to fix comment.

What's a combo update? Is there a difference between that and downloading the update through software update? I have a 13" uMBP.

The combo update has the previous updates included (10.6.1 and 10.6.2).

The package available through the Software Updater is the delta update that will only install on systems running 10.6.2.

I always download and install the combo update.

09 Mac Pro, huge update…

Strange, CS4 as a whole works perfect for me.

Why is that strange?

 

[AAPLove]

well finally... thought this would never come out!!!

 

[AAPLGeek]

Wow..so its out finally!

Whopping 827.1 MB for me!

 

[nos]

Why is that strange?

It is not certain that the combination acrobat/snow leopard is bad.

 

[sl1200mk2]

Used the combo update. So far, so good! No major issues. Will probably be a couple days before I really go through most of it though.

 

[ChuckG]

Well...what does it break? Can anyone confirm if TotalFinder still works after the update?

BTW, update weighs in at 756.8MB on an '07 iMac

 

[ecapdeville]

Wonder if at last this will fix the random wifi disconnections in my unibody Macbook pro 13"... its a pain in the a$$.

 

[vincentchan]

Holy cow! Massive 758.8 MB for my Aluminium MacBook (late 2008).

Don't like the way they treat Privacy...

Mac OS X v10.6.3 can collect diagnostic and usage information from your Mac and send it to Apple for analysis automatically. The information is only collected with your explicit consent, and is submitted anonymously to Apple. For more details, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4063

They don't keep your personal info?

...and what about:
1) if you have a me.com account
2) if you an itunes account
3) if you for some reason use the LocationServices embedded in OsX?

mmmh... don't like it at all...

All seems ok on my '09 iMac 24"

 

[Sambo110]

Hopefully it fixes stuff not opening at login. All other problems have been fixed with updates, hopefully that trend continues.

 

[baldyauldeejit]

Nooooooooooo!

Damn it, Janet! No fix for Postscript Type 1 fonts.

 

[lincolntran]

Contest

Should we have a contest to see who have the biggest update?

 

[Surely]

Can someone update and please let me know if 10.6.3 will finally toast my bread for me?

Oh, and is Safari snappier?

 

[mrzippy]

Just downloading the combo update at 1.4mb/sec (full speed for me) so Apple's servers aren't clogged up yet!

3 machines to install it on then, wish me luck!

Any brave souls want to try this out first?

It's fully tested but interesting to see the how hacks do.
