Have you ever got another (earlier) build of 10.6.5 installed?
If so, it could be the remains of that build. If not, great!

I think that is the case. My MBP I installed an earlier beta of 10.6.5 and AirPrint works sharing my Dell 3100cn. I just did an upgrade on my MB from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 release and nothing I share, even the same Dell 3100cn, is showing up. Debating on wether to install 10.6.5 final on the MBP. Again I'm thinking that for those who it is still working for, had installed a previous beta.

Every time you apply a new beta/delta it updates all the components, so if they wanted to remove this option from the last version sure it would do it.
 
As someone before said, I don't think it's the combo. It's drastically smaller than the 10.6.4 combo. I would wait.

Agreed, until I get an official link from Apple, not touching that. It is indeed way smaller than the 10.6.4 Combo update, which makes no sense. Plus it's not a DMG file which was also a big hint that something wasn't right. So for me, the waiting game continues.

I just installed the combo. The system restarted so I ran Software Updates. What do I see? The update is still available...wtf?

edit - downloading the official update now, 90% done

Just like you then, you are saying you installed a previous beta too...
 
My iPad is unable to print to my HP Photosmart D5160 over AirPrint. I have the latest iOS 4.2 beta, iTunes 10.1 beta 2, and the 10.6.5 update all installed.
 
Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) GM & iOS 4.2 & iTunes 10.1 Beta

Guys,

I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5 (10H574) GM & iOS 4.2 & iTunes 10.1 Beta and printing works with my shared Brother printer. Maybe it's iTunes 10.1 that's the glue here!

Do NOT use the file from that link unless you have the exact same computer as the poster. I just installed it my MBP (Penryn, running 10H568) and it completely hosed the entire OS--now all I can get is a kernel panic on boot, telling me that the ACPI driver does not match my hardware. Trying to boot with the old x32 kernel did not help either.
 
Yeah, something seems to be wrong with the "Combo" update. I installed it and the system rebooted. To my surprise, it still said it was running 10.6.4. I tried downloading from Software Update, and after installing and rebooting, the system is still the same. Unable to update to 10.6.5. :(
 
updated to 10.6.5 today - applications incompatibility

Hi,

i updated from 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 today. When my computer restarted it said some of my applications are incompatible with this version. Is there any way to check all my apps at once or to test this? Thanks.

Oh great, I think I'm in the same boat :(

Same here. What now?
 
I'm repairing permissions on my MBP and it is repairing hundreds of entries.

And do those "repairs" actually hold? I.e., if you run DURP (disk utility repair permissions) again, are they really gone... or do they still show up?

I suspect it's probably just another example of DURP getting further and further out of sync with reality, after each subsequent software update installation. [i.e., it's a stupid bug in OS X, where the receipts database which Disk Utility references is not aligned with what Software Update and Installer.app have been doing. IOW, we cannot trust what DURP says... as it's usually wrong. The items are not being repaired AND they probably don't need fixing in the first place.]
 
AirPrint works for me as well. I was on 10.6.5 10H568 before updating through Software Update (a bit irritating that the official 10.6.5 update even showed up) and had my shared printer (Brother 7010L) setup for AirPrint even before. I also have iTunes 10.1b2 installed and the iPad's on 4.2 GM. *If* they removed the function, it might be that those who had access to earlier 10.6.5 builds might have some relics on their systems... On the other hand, maybe it really depends on the printer model and on the way it's shared... Dunno... Maybe try removing and adding the printer again from scratch and sharing it anew does the trick for those where it currently doesn't work?

The comb update does nothing here either the system version and build number stay the same. will wait for the combo dmg to appear as I have plenty of time.

I am running 10.6.4 Build 10F569

This is before and after try the combo updater for 10.6.5
 
Using the Combo update has no benefit over 'Software Update'. For some reason people just think it's more magical. It's psychosomatic.

I've had a delta update with problems get fixed by installing the combo update. Never had a problem using the combo.

And if the result is identical, I'd love to see someone test it by running each on two identical machines and doing a diff on the results. I bet there are differences in some cases. Not to mention, it's way handier if you're upgrading multiple machines.

As someone before said, I don't think it's the combo. It's drastically smaller than the 10.6.4 combo. I would wait.

Plus for a number of people it either didn't upgrade or full on broke the machine, don't use it! It is weird that they don't seem to have posted it yet.
 
Some really nice undocumented changes.

Apple seems to have fixed a bug introduced with Leopard that sucked memory on 64-bit Intel with 3 GB or more RAM with systems running (Snow) Leopard. My memory footprint after starting up is now 150 MB (20%) smaller. The system seems to clean up memory better now too when it's not in use anymore. This may show nice performance improvement for people doing a lot of stuff on their Mac and having lots of applications open.

Smooth scrolling is now enforced default on the trackpad of my early '08 MacBook Pro and it works great!
 
I've just tried on my iPhone to print to an Epson SX515W which is wirelessly joined to my network with 10.6.5 10H568 (an older build) and it doesn't work.

I haven't tried plugging it into my computer and going from there yet as I'm to tired to try but if people do, I will give it a go

That would be nice!

Now this is something I am glad to see, cause I am getting the same thing to. The sooner I can get home and install 10.6.5 the happier I will be. Now to wait for my girlfriend to get off work for the day.
