Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.5

I just got my first Mac on Monday, so it's fun to get to update so fast. But... I downloaded the update and let it restart. It got almost to the end and then failed. I should have written down exactly what it said, but basically "the update failed. please try to use software updater again once you restart"

Any idea why this would happen on essentially a brand new MBP? I'm downloading again right now and hoping for the best. Maybe I need the combo? I have no idea, being so new to all of this.

The file most likely got corrupted during download, in which case your internet connection is probably unstable...

I think it is becuase I am at Valencia Community College and they have the Internet limited to a max of 60 Kbps. It always slow.

60 Kbps? Good lord. That's a little faster than dial-up.
 
It would help if you said what the bug was, but I ran some iTunes actions and they worked just fine...

The bug was that nearly all the actions for iTunes disappeared after the installation of iTunes 10. Pre-10.6.5, using iTunes 10.0.1, the only iTunes actions that are available in automator are.
  • Filter iTunes Items
  • Find iTunes Items
  • Get Selected iTunes Items

Most notable as to what disappeared was the option to play a given item or playlist via Automator.
 
With Liquid Detail and Sunshafts maxed (notice the lack of water and sunshafts in this area as well):

I seriously hope Blizzard's at fault here, but considering their "some features require 10.6.5 so wait for that"-ish statement, I doubt they need to patch it in themselves. It was to my understanding that these features would be enabled when 10.6.5 was installed.

Liquid detail and sunshafts are enabled in 10.6.4 as well. (I don't know what sunshafts do though, but liquid detail have been there for a month. It just drops fps like crazy so I don't use it at high settings.

3 hours till it is complete downloading. This sucks!

Try the combo installer. I found it to be much faster even though it is bigger :confused:

No shared printing for my iPhone...

I have a Brother MFC-9840CDW connected to an iMac through my home wifi network, and print sharing is enabled. I have been running iOS 4.2 GM on my iPhone 4 for over a week. I installed Mac OS X 10.6.5 10h571, and then 10.6.5 10h574, hoping to print from my phone. Unfortunately, my iPhone just tells me "No Printers Found."

I have not tried any earlier betas of 10.6.5. I'm using iTunes 10.1 beta 2.

I'm very disappointed.

The section is called Music now and Play files and playlists is all there.

I'm on a very high speed connection. The speed was fine until it reached around 200MB. Then it dropped down to around 60KB/s. I think this is due to the load on Apple servers. The other download was going around 1MB/s :)

I know. I moved from the Mac to iPhone to post. They limit everything. Speed from time allowed on the wireless. I have to disconet every hour.

They're all there. I have the 10.1 beta, though, so I don't know if it was the OS X update or iTunes that fixed it.
 
Yes. Simply put, file permissions can't change on their own accord, something needs to do it maliciously, or you've got a serious hardware problem. They simply can't change on their own accord.

You may see permission errors when doing a repair, but they're most likely all benign, such as a file being 664 when it was originally 644 or vice-versa. These are usually due to transient files being re-created after installation, when the running application has a different UMASK set to the one that initially created it. Certainly every error I've seen when running these repairs could be safely ignored as it was of this nature.

The repair permissions facility can only check permissions from software installed by PKG files (including anything installed via Software Update), as it simply extracts file details from the relevant BOM files, and changes permissions back to how they were when the relevant software was initially installed. It can't do anything with applications installed via other means, or with any of your own data files. So running to resolve issues with your own data files is obviously pointless.

Repairing permissions was necessary in the early days of Mac OS X when you could still boot up into Mac OS 9, as the latter OS didn't honour them properly. In particular some software installers than ran under Classic could be really problematic and mangle core operating system files. Since Mac OS 9 and Classic are no longer an issue, these problems can no longer occur.


So unless someone has been doing silly things in terminal with chmod, chown and chgrp, or there's a really badly behaved application, there's no point doing to unless you want to waste time.

Perhaps copying and pasting from an article in its entirety would help. I appreciate your effort in trying to make it seem like you made a well thought out, well written rebuttal however, I too have google and can spot someone not copying and pasting the full article.

Repairing Permissions is not an end all be all, its a maintenance tool and to call it pointless is a stretch. I guess all you John Gruber followers really believe him when he says repairing permissions is useless.

I have to wait til I get out of class tonight.

But you can't crank them up to ultra in 10.6.4. I think the highest possible there was "Fair". You can max it now with this update, though.

Downloaded and installed fine the second time around. Should I have any concerns about the first failed attempt or can I move on and forget about it? (I think I'm dealing with the trust issues that come from being a windows user for so long)

Thanks, this is really helpful. It does not make me any difference which one it is, as long as the issue is fixed. Maybe after it is fixed I should finally post the application I made.

I'm using a Canon MP600

I must look into this app then.

Nah, you can forget it :)

If it installed fine the second time, I wouldn't worry about it.
