Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.4

[JQW]

The download started quickly for me, but is now running at little more than dial-up speeds. ETA is currently 5 hours and rising.

I think we can honestly hold up on a Mac OS X update. Hello Apple! We have an iPhone problem! Get that resolved first, then release an update for the Macs!

On a day with crippling server crunch for Apple, they release a 315MB download that will apply to every user of 10.6??

Say what?

Ah great, a huge download like this will definitely improve the server load

This just gave me a mad mental image of S Jobs in a cupboard at HQ fanning THE sole Apple server with the side panel of a PowerMac G5 trying to keep it cool while J Ive is over his shoulder talking about the lovely aluminium panel and how he was inspired to design it so...

I should maybe lie down for a while.......

At the same time.... "Security Update 2010-004" for 10.5 came in also. Weighing in at 224MB.

It's AT&T's servers, not Apple's.

Idiom

I think that is just a rather poor excuse for bad grammar.

 

[Yamcha]

Awesome, except my iMac is out for repair , I'm stuck using old pc till tomorrow.. Apple promised it would take 48hrs..

aye

 

[eMagine]

fast!

Why wasn't the iPhone pre-order server as fast as this.

This update too me 5 minutes to download. installing now.

All of this waiting and still no official implementation to turn off the dedicated GPU in the MacBook Pros. I mean, I have no trouble with BitNinja's tool, but Apple should seriously implement this feature officially!

Just downloaded mine (650MB or so) in less than a minute on Comcast 50Mb service. Apple's servers are not bogged down.

Apple uses akamai for software updates. So it's all good.

 

[Eriamjh1138@DAN]

This is just a distraction to keep people from crammin' the iPhone pre-order servers!

 

[AppleInLVX]

Does it come in white?

You owe me a new keyboard.

 

[8CoreWhore]

Yes!

 

[macridah]

Distraction from failure and lack of white iphone. Don't care for this either.

+1

 

[fixmymac]

aye

Sorry. Had a wind tunnel G5 on the bench all day. These things get to you.

Hmmmm.... are you qualified to use the word aye? Which part of North Britain do you come from?

That was perhaps the funniest thing I have read all day.

 

[MadMacxxx]

It took a minute and a half to DL.

 

[topmounter]

My download is flying.... on track to download 315.5 MB pretty close to the originally estimated 2 minutes.

 

[Link2999]

Downloading/Installing now. Servers must be shot, high download times.
Edit: 3hrs now down to 10mins

I very much doubt that the same employees and servers are responsible for both the Software Update system and the Apple Store.

Too bad it doesn't resolve the issue of the white iPhones...
