Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.3

p.s.: By the way, 10.6.2 has been ABSOLUTELY flawless to me; nothing to complain.

The only real issue I've been experiencing with 10.6.x is Command-Tab. It just doesn't seem to work consistently. Sometimes, when I press, the app that I'm using it selected, rather than the next app in the queue order... very frustrated. However, I have my Dock set to single-application mode, so that may be part of the problem. I don't know. We'll see if 10.6.3 fixes the issue for me.

Edit -- was this behavior changed in 10.6? Command-Tab brings up the application switcher, but with the current app selected? I used to be able to Command-Tab back and forth between the current app and the previous app I used in quick succession, but now it takes two presses of the Tab key. Anybody confirm this behavior and if it's different from 10.5?

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.

It works fine now, rebooted after 15 minutes. Thanks for your guidance.
 
Maybe it'll fix my trash prompting me to delete everything I put in it. It's weird I can no longer use it has a holding bin. :confused:

Never seen this...isn't it because your fingers are on the touchpad or Magic Mouse surface, therefore kinda affecting cmd-tab functionality?
 
Completely wrecked iCal events and to-dos.

BEWARE!

Using BusySync as well...

But after the update it made like 8 copies of everything and used old calendar revisions somehow. Anyone know how to restore old calendars to iCal from a Time Machine backup without completely doing a full restore of the OS or other data?

I need to basically wipe the old iCal profile and restore from this morning's backup.

PM me with details. Thanks.

Can you be more specific on your iCal issues? I am a fairly heavy iCal user (local, not synced to anything other than my iPhone), and at first glance everything is good on my machine in terms of calendaring.
 
All done.

Holy crap they've lubed the pipes…

Going on 3x my record download speed with this update! Anyone else notice the blazing download speed?

The Leopard Security Update is 210MB on my iBook G4.

In regards to new Macs tomorrow, I ordered a Mac Pro quad last Thursday and I received my shipping conformation email on Saturday. Now two days later, my FedEx tracking still says that the package has "not been received by FedEx". I find it hard to believe that FedEx Ground will get my package from California to Texas by the Wednesday delivery date the email claims. Could be an error, but the fact that it's Monday (the day before Tuesday) and 10.6.3 came out, kinda makes you wonder.
 
Wow, I can use my trackpad again! Before the update, and I believe after 10.6.2, I had a cursor on my pre-unibody MBP with a mind of its own (skipping, dragging with no rhyme or reason etc.), but I'm good to go now :)

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.

I think cron was replaced with launchd. Yes, according this page on Apple's site:
The launchd daemon takes over many tasks from cron, xinetd, mach_init, and init, which are UNIX programs that traditionally have handled system initialization, called systems scripts, run startup items, and generally prepared the system for the user.

Hurray! Spaces are now almost as smooth as they used to be in Leopard! A few more updates and we'll have a system almost as good as Leopard was!
 
Hope this fixes the few odd bugs I've had in the OS.

Most annoying is the lack of image in quick look. It opens a window with no image. wth is that?? Still had stray dumps in Safari and Adobe CS3 programs; nothing too annoying, but every so often they quit.

What a download! 3/4 of a Gig. This must have a ton of fixes in it.
