Rumor #1 was true, now we wait for iTunes later today and iOS 4.2 on friday (still crossing my fingers for iOS to be released today, I can't wait for AirPlay).

 

[Mattsasa]

anything on printer sharing for ios?

anything on 3D graphics?

 

[Unstupid]

About time .... They had me worried they were delaying it since "Macrumors" mentioned they release updates around 10a PST...

 

[audioteknika]

Lets see if el Jobso removed shared printing

 

[DylanLovesPorn]

i guess i am now obligated to activate software update and download the patch

 

[aardwolf]

Notice no mention of AirPrint support...

 

[Nothlit]

I notice those release notes don't mention shared printing via AirPrint...

 

[parapup]

What about the USB fixes? My phone works with old MBP over USB but not with the new 2010 models.

iOS updates (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch) get released in the AM (around 8-10am pst), but Mac OS updates get released around Noon-4pm pst.

And the usual question as these "release" articles often leave it out - build number please?

 

[HLdan]

Good, but I'll be nice and let all the "Gotta have it" people download it first and beta test it for me.

 

[aprofetto8]

Can someone please test with 4.2 GM and see if airprint works?

 

[g-boac]

Downloading now!

 

[getinline1]

Where?

Where exactly can I download it? It's not appearing in software update for me.

 

[ShiftyPig]

address an issue where dragging an item from a stack causes the Dock to not automatically hide

The only issue from that list I've experienced.

 

[bristleworm]

And the usual question as these "release" articles often leave it out - build number please?

i'm currently downloading, in about 8 minutes i can tell you

 

[goinskiing]

Downloading! Yay! If someone with GM iOS4.2 on iPad can show any signs of AirPrint with shared printers, let us know!

 

[vincenz]

Anyone notice effect on performance for games like starcraft 2?

I'm desperate to know! People please tell!

 

[street.cory]

Idk what I need from it but...

I don't really know what benefits me in this update buuuuuut... yaaaayy!

 

[iNeko]

*waits for the combo*

I only put a new hard drive in my Macbook Pro this morning (meaning I had to download the 10.6.4 combo earlier) now I have another 1gb download, hurrah! (I have two Macs, easier to download the combo for me, plus I'm only kidding, I love updates! )

 

[Demigod Mac]

Combo Update please!

.. is it still a better idea to use the Combo instead of the control panel?
(previously the Combo's would have more recent drivers)
