Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.3
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
Different machines have different requirements: CPU, graphics card drivers, printer drivers, maybe optional installs like X11.
Software Updater calculates what your machine needs.
Or, not release updates until after the initial halo period so as to clear out older stock?
More likely they are rolling out the update gradually to individual users. Reading some of the comments here, it sounds like their download servers are oversubscribed right now.
All good here...
10.6.2 was my buggiest version yet with lots of beach balling and hang ups. I hoping 10.6.3 will make things run a little more smoothly. So far so good.

My Macbook Pro 13" 2009 wont' restart after applying the update. I am at the blue screen before it switches off and all I have (for 10 minutes) is a little cog.
Help?

Perhaps, though I downloaded it about 25 minutes ago at 10Mb/s from a well-connected network, so there's more to consider than just Apple's distribution points.
Updated my 2nd gen MacBook Air (1.83GHz, SSD) - so far, so good.
I didn't have any significant problems with 10.6.2 FWIW.

True, it could just be a specific download server, distribution point, or possibly local network congestion.
Did you run the combo update or the delta update via Software Update?
I would let it sit for at least another 10 minutes. One of the 10.5.x point updates did this to me (which one, I can't recall at the moment) and I had to let it sit for about 15 minutes before it finally restarted. If it still hasn't recycled in 15 or 20 minutes you might try to do a hard shutdown and reboot.
Spaces fully operational
Well, all seems to wrk fine so far, I checked the Expose and Spaces snap problem, and its seems to be fixed finally, I don't thanks Apple, because they broke it from 10.5 to 10.6, but anyway its good to know you care about.
With Aperture 3.02, opening my 700MB picture this happened: See image. but after 10 seconds or so, it came back to normal.
So far so good, finger crossed.

I did the Software Update. I will let it run for a bit more.. I hope the system doesn't screw up, as I am currently at home for the holidays, and my Time Machine backups are at Uni.
Yes!
They updated the iMac icon for my iMac at home in Finder so it looks right! That was worth the 400+ MB update (and over 700 MB for my 27" iMac at home...)!

UPDATE TIME for the BEST OS on Earth!!! Downloading it as I type this!
Thank you, Apple!!!
MS IS DEAD. AND SO IS DELL.
p.s.: By the way, 10.6.2 has been ABSOLUTELY flawless to me; nothing to complain.

Yeah, so the guidance isn't real clear on what to do if an update hangs, but at this point you can either leave it up indefinitely to see if it reboots, or hard reboot it and see what happens. If it were me, I'd probably hard reboot it after 20 minutes if it hadn't done so on it's own and see what happens.
My guess is you'll be fine after a reboot, but of course, your mileage may vary.
I don't know about you, but I use locate all the time. It is like Spotlight for the Terminal - only better.
However, since Leopard the cron-jobs (are they still run by cron?) are also run if your system is not up at the time specified. So no need to run them manually.
