Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.4

[wakemac]

Anyone else getting an update that weighs in at 641.1MB rather than the 300MB ish update?

Mine was 641.1MB also. Downloaded and installed. So far so good.

Thanks Apple. Only took you 3 years.

It seems they are beginning to add TRIM support.

This is on my Intel G2 SSD.

I'll just wait for Software Update to pop up saying that it's downloaded it already. Got background stuff running that I don't really want to interrupt, anyway.

Crikey - 15K+ files modified.. they've been busy!

Anyone else have problems with dropbox after the update? I'm not connected and it says it can't secure a connection. Trying to figure this out now, but does anyone have an idea?

Just installed 10.6.4, Dropbox seems to be working fine.

On a different note, 10.6.4 updates mail.app. If you have GrowlMail installed you get a message saying that the plug-in is not compatible and that it will be disabled.

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

It's possible that I'm missing something obvious, but I don't see the option to which I was referring. One can disable automatic switching, but this essentially means that the Nvidia (discrete) card is always on. What I (and many others) want official support for is to disable switching and select the intel card for everything (to extend battery life).

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

Hopefully that fixes the issue where mail exceeds the Gmail server quotas when sending a large file attached.

Yay! After initial tests, 10.6.4 fixes my Front Row running at 95-100% CPU after being closed problem. I love being pleasantly surprised by undocumented fixes.

It seems like 10.6.4 adds some more SSD support.

Under 10.6.3, my 13" MacBook Pro (2010 model) identified the SSD drive correctly, but iMac did not.

Now, under 10.6.4, my iMac 27" also correctly identifies the drive as Solid State, but still says "No" to TRIM support, just like the MBP. Hopefully 10.6.5 will bring Trim support as well.

Check out the attached image.

Hellooo!!! That's great news, a mention of TRIM support in System Profiler!

Read this page to see if your drive might have properly working TRIM support: http://translate.google.com/transla...94/page7.html&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1

Your (stevemr123) drive has absolutely no need of TRIM support as it doesn't suffer from any performance degradation at all. You wouldn't notice the difference.

Unfortunately I have a drive with a flawed TRIM implementation.

Hmmm...

I was looking forward to the fix to Iphoto (when editing full screen it corrupts.)

I downloaded this with great expectations. Loaded iPhoto tried to edit a RAW file and my screen corrupted and the whole system hung... Had to do a hard reboot...

I'm a tad disappointed...

Updated fine for me on my early 2009 Macbook. Long startup.

It's going to be different for every Mac model.

Downloaded it pretty quickly...but installation took a while.

Anyone tried audio over mdp on the mini? Wasn't this supposed to be an update with 10.6.4?

 

[finalcut]

Does it come in white?

hehe nice one

I think you mean, Thanks Apple for fixing what Adobe wouldn't.

Mine's 315.5MB, but at the rate it's downloading you'd think it was 641.1GB.

I'm seeing the grayer page as well and I'm not liking it.

Ten months. That issue was only under Snow Leopard.

Time for a Combo update!

Combo Updater fails. Console has the usual stuff....

"The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. Too many open files in system\"";\n PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "com.apple.pkg.update.os.10.6.4.combo";\n}
