Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.4

[pixelbart]

315.5 took about 30 seconds. Colour me happy.

I clicked on 'install' and almost immediately it asked me to reboot and started to install. I didn't even see a download progress bar. Searching for updates started automagically but it took a while, though.

 

[Intell]

Well.... roll me around in syrup and dust me down with icing sugar! My smart arsed comment earlier has clearly been seen by S Jobs and he yanked the 10/100 ethernet cable a bit just as i was downloading. Corrupted my download so it won't expand!

Combo Updater for me. All 887.4MB of it.

My combo won't open either.

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!

I agree: Apple, please ignore your loyal customer base! Stop caring about anything that isn't the iphone or the ipad.

Why is it that so many people think that this is somehow related to the iphone problems? The apple store and OSX are managed by different departments. The store is likely on a different set of servers than are OS X updates. Get over yourselves already and quit whining like a bunch of 5-year-olds. Just because one department is having problems doesn't mean the rest of the company should stop operating until the problem is fixed.

Did Apple stick some servers on the Comcast backbone?

Lucky you.... Im on a high speed connection at work (26mbps a sec on my last test) and its now taken over 30 minutes and its telling me another 2 hours...

 

[irishgrizzly]

Whats the difference between the combo update and a one through the software update menu?

The combo update includes secret features (shhhhh)

 

[CompanionCube]

unless it resolves the iphone 4 pre-ordering issues i could give a rat's a$$ right now.

oh please, ****

 

[mex4eric]

Mine is only 315.5 MB


Guess I was wrong yesterday about it not coming out today. Right after an update to developers.

Nah, Apple just flipped the switch at the new Server Farm....All those little Hampsters started running like crazy...

 

[unge]

disappointed again

I had to stop-and-resume the update download to get it at normal speed.
I'm quite disappointed with inertial scrolling absence

 

[supremedesigner]

That's odd. I was asked to upgrade the Apple Mail app after SW update. See pictures...

 

[3goldens]

they've neen busy little bees at Apple. Well at least they did not have to answer the phones!

 

[parapup]

Weird, I haven't experienced any slowdown..

Interesting. What are your usage patterns? Over the time I basically filled it up 80% with videos, backup documents etc. and then deleted a bunch stuff to free up some space and although it wasn't as slow as a mechanical drive it really wasn't fast like SSD fast.

It is screaming with Win 7 and I am pretty sure with the help of TRIM and Intel optimizer for Windows it should keep running full throttle.

 

[n0de]

Just updated - NO problems with Dropbox. I did turn it off prior to updating though. Try re-installing DB if you are having issues.

Mail is wicked fast now...... Widemail doesn't work though....

 

[BullyBully]

Are you trying to say that you could or could not give a rat's a$$ right now?

Could you care less, or could you not care less?

And that is why girls don't like you.

 

[Cynicalone]

They updated Mail and broke Growl Mail again.

 

[Cozmo85]

No inertial scrolling on old macbooks Maybe it will be hacked in now.

 

[jzuena]

YES! I've been having strange problems with that. Glad to see they fixed it! (hopefully - upgrading now)

Any word on the SMB read/write issue being fixed? I have been seeing that one as well.

 

[theBigD23]

So far so good regarding my SMB issue. My NAS drive has been sitting here idle for 3 months now because of this issue and I can finally copy a file to my drive. That was a big one.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Just downgraded to Safari 4.03 so not installing. Safari 5 is slow.

Fix your system.

On OS X 10.5.8 Powerbook 15 the performance is vastly improved.

 

[256bit]

Ok, downloaded in <1 minute. Nothing's been said about the promised "increase in graphical performance" or whatever... I'll just 'test out' 10.6.4 by running Team Fortress 2 'for a little while' to see if my frame rate increased at all.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

[MrCheeto]

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!

Check your system preferences. I'm almost certain that you can disable the automatic switching.

You could care less?
