Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.7

TheHoff said:
That is too high of an idle for my tastes. Mine will idle as low as 30-32 if it is cold outside and on a table or desk. Right now it is at 34 on my lap (17" 2011). I'd bring it back to the store and put it next to the display models to show them it is too hot. I'd expect it to get really hot or throttle quickly under load.

How does one view the cpu temperature without iStat installed? Presumably this won't be on any of the store models.. is there a way without it?

So what's the consensus? Seems like the lock ups are gone but many are running hotter than before....I'm 17 days away from ordering a base 15"..... I'm pondering an iMac now... Or maybe a cheap ****** pc until this gets worked out. 1800 is an awful lots of dough to spend and be worried it'll go belly up in a year. It could be my first non Mac purchase in 18 years....not a comforting thought.

Yes, words it finds. Weather....not so much. It's usually wrong for me. Sometimes it changes to Kansas, sometimes it has weather that doesn't make sense for either Mpls. I don't use it. It's worse on iOS, I use Wunderground instead. Actually going to Yahoo or Weather Channel on the net does work just fine, it's just the widget that fails.

The SL Disc has an older build of SL and the mini has hardware that wasn't properly recognized until the later build. :)

Probably, the disc does predate the Mini. Not exactly a selling point, though, is it?
 
It looks like the Get Info rendering issues are still there with my GMA X3100. I just noticed some garbled cube graphics when switching users.

This is on my second logicboard as well. It can get rather annoying when using Get Into and the majority of the window items do not render.

I can as well. I'm on my second machine, and had pretty much given up on running Civ V. Works fine now. Feels so good to finally have my brand new $2500 machine running at 100%!
Click to expand...

Ahh same here. Civ V is running much much better at full load, even on my mid-2009 MBP!
 
My external display is looking brighter and better than before. I could be imagining it, but it seems like a clear improvement. The second monitor used to be noticeably dimmer than my main screen, now they are very similar.

I have a 21.5" iMac connected to a 22" Samsung LCD.

After updating to 10.6.7 (i use an MBP 15'' 2010 with i7+Nvidia 330M) i see a performance boost in Starcraft 2, playing in Medium with 10.6.6 i had 40-45fps average and 30-25fps with more than 30 units attacking, now with the same Medium i obtain 60fps average and 40-50fps with units attacking.

Really i see a good boost in graphics with this update, probably i will wait until the 2012 models to upgrade, because the 2011 i see them with problems :S

Anyone who had already saw an increase in graphic performance (games)?

Have your temps at idle increased at all after the update?
 
Has anyone had trouble with games after the update.

This is the first issue i've ever had with PvZ (from Steam), and this happened after I updated.

Successful installs on late 2009 21" iMac, Mid-2010 13" MBP, Early-2011 13" MBP, and Mid-2010 Mac Mini Server.

Although, for the server, it got hung up on something to do with the network. Soon as I unplugged it from the LAN, it reboot. Slightly frightening! But I'm glad my intuition prevailed over a hard reboot... which may have been disastrous.

I didn't have any problems with the early 2011 MBP, so I've nothing to report.

Nope. In fact, it's the first time I've been able to play Civ V without my MBP freezing upon exiting the game. Played the Angry Birds Rio and PvZ with no problems.

A kernel panic is 99% hardware related. I used to get kernel panics when my GPU overheated. I sometimes get Kernel Panics when one of my external hard drives disappear during a crucial operation due to their stupid hardware design.

Is there any way to see from the report what could be the culprit? Attached i have the report from my latest kernel panic.

Did you use the combo update or the delta (installed via the Mac update mechanism)? I'm just reading through the dump there and for starters the Airport card driver should be 5.10.131.36.9 where as your dump shows that it is 5.10.131.36.1 - meaning that I'd say something has gone haywire in the update process because if that has failed to be updated I'm sure there are others that are amiss.

Oh, and it states:

Darwin Kernel Version 10.6.0: Wed Nov 10 18:13:17 PST 2010; root:xnu-1504.9.26~3/RELEASE_I386
System model name: MacPro3,1 (Mac-F42C88C8)

Have you actually applied the 10.6.7 update or not?
 
10.6.7 installed, and it appears my USB ports are broken on my Mac Pro 4,1. No card reader or USB device is recognized. I just used it prior to upgrade on 10.6.6. I've reset PRAM, repaired permissions, restarted five times.

This is a problem.

Hopefully this will be a permanent fix for those issues that are affecting the new MBP's.

Temps are higher because they're getting to where they can be. Every macbook pro for the past 3+ years has run hot when being maxed out. The reason temps are going "up" is because they weren't able to reach their potential without a freeze before, and now they can.

Tested 10.6.7 with Cinebench 11.5. With 10.6.6, I got 5.39 CPU. With 10.6.7 I get 5.07 (the same as what I get in Windows 7 BootCamp)! Has anyone seen any change in their score? Re-run CPU again and got 5.10, so seems consistently lower on my machine.

After that, I ran GeekBench 64-Bit since - Gone UP slightly to 11002 (from ~10950 in 10.6.6). GeekBench does not stress the machine as much as Cinebench (no fans speed increase, foe example) so I am guessing that the TurboBoost settings used in Mac OS X have been adjusted. Possibly, it has been adjusted to the same as how it is on Windows 7 (hence the same CPU score)?

My MacBook Pro is the stock i7 2720QM 15" 2011 model, for reference. (Build 10J3250)

Mine gets 4.89 after patch and 5.10 before both under OSX i got the same CPU in my 15 but got a non glossy panel

I'm on a new Macbook Air (13" maxxed out) and the update seems to be causing iTunes to freeze the whole system - clock, mouse, keyboard, etc. It happens about 5-6 seconds after I launch iTunes. I can start a song, and it will continue to play after the system locks up, but otherwise I'm stuck with a hard reset. I tried clearing the preference files in \Users\[me]\Library\Preferences, but that didn't help. I repaired disk permissions before and after the update. Any suggestions?

Same problem here on a MBA 2011 13" Ultimate..... but only once straight after the update. After a hard reboot the problem seems to have gone away!

Try running the combo.
 
After the 10.6.7 update my 2010 iMac running OS X in 64-bit mode now loads application icons much faster when opening up Finder and browsing applications, utilities etc., things seem a bit snappier to me. Anyone else notice this?
