Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.7

I downloaded and installed this morning. After the reboot, experienced my first system hang ever on my MBA late-2011 Ultimate that required a power down to resolve. No issues since the hang, but that did make me nervous.
 
Yup. Even works fine on my Hackbook - didn't break anything.

Can we change "Safari is snappier" and just call it "Snafari"? (Snappy Safari)
 
Not touching it! Every time I get my Mac setup to my liking here comes another update. Then I have to wait for another update fix something that was already working. Not this time.
 
Awesome. iTunes visualizer is no longer a slideshow on my MacBook Pro 4,1 with this update. Until I installed it, I had to click on a menu in order to get them to play smoothly ... including the really old "classic" visualizer.

It was rather annoying.

Let's hope so.

I hate to say it, but my current MacPro set up (10.6.6) is by far the most flaky I ever owned on the Mac platform (since 1993). Crashes and freezes all over the place, the 'favorite' one where the screen gradually turns black and you see in various language that your machine needs to be restarted 🙁

That last is a kernel panic, which is the OS telling you that something horrible has gone wrong, usually some sort of hardware problem.

First thing to check would be whether or not one (or all) of your DIMM modules is either not completely plugged in, or is defective.

The "broadband" infrascture is owned only by the ISPs. No goverment owns the fiber net or the copper net at all now in this country. And besides, it's not really 20$. It all depends of where you live, if it's a collective deal which usually surrounds 50-200 apartments.
Usually the prices are 40-50$ for 100/10mbit without any collective discounts.
Talking from someone who works for the biggest ISP operator in Sweden..


About the update, everything seems smooth but Apple didn't fix this mad crazy issue that people and I got after the 10.6.3 update regarding connecting an external monitor. My LG tv is still black when i connect my Mac to it.
 
fudged my MB Air for a while

After the update downloaded and installed fine, rebooted and screen was ghostly white and no keyboard input to login window, only mouse movement possible.

Another reboot and the color got even more whited out.

After waiting cpl more minutes, screen color returned to normal and previously entered keystrokes flooded the login box.

All is fine now, and hopefully the MB Air issues documented to have been fixed in this update will help those messed up issues.

I still LOVE my 13" latest model MacBook Air and OS X, etc, but feel Apple really has been releasing things too quickly without paying as much attention to QC testing as before.

Still, I have been using an Android tablet/phone (Dell streak) recently, and Apple is still the most stable platform out there on PCs and mobile devices...

An open fiber-network created by the county (spelling?) that have get a part of the money from the Government. The network has many internet-providers that are independent and it´s much competition. Multiple IPS operates on the same open fiber-network. But in Sweden the majority of the infrastructure is not owned by the county and 100/10 can cost more then 10-20 dollar, maybe 30-40 dollar. We also have 500/250 in some areas. And soon 1000/500 in some areas.

I pay 10 dollars (112 SEK) now but my friend pay 20 dollar for the same 100/10 in a different area and has the same IPS. 🙂

Running on both an iBook and a MacBook (5,1) and works fine, as did 10.6.6.

Took 22 minutes on a Mexican DSL connection, which averages 3.2 Mb/s. My wife was busy on a Skype video conversation at the same time, hogging some bandwidth.
 
My late 2008 MBP (uni, 25.3, 4gb) is running much hotter than before after I installed 10.6.7! Like 10C hotter!

No problem with the MBA (2011)...
 
How many of you having problems with the 2011 Macbook Pros opted for the 2.3 Ghz Core i7? I've noticed that the ones who stuck with the 2.2 Ghz configuration weren't having heating issues, or any issues for that matter. Maybe there is a correlation? I could be wrong though.

Who would currently need 1000Mbit downspeed. It's not like anything on the internet supports it.

In sweden 100/10 mbit only cost about 10-20 (in dollar) a month. 🙂

I think this is also true in South-east Asia, like Hong Kong, Japan and Korea. I've heard Korea got some really nice network, probably 150 ~ 200Mb/s or even higher if you pay more.

Lucky. I have 16 Mb down / ? up here in the States through Comcast. I think the fastest connection for regular people Comcast offers is like 50 down, though for businesses get up to 100 Mbps. Kinda wish the US would improve its infrastructure more and not just go after profits.

In NL they are pretty strong with net infrastructure...now in story is fiber for prive users. It is still expencive but when i compare to 2years ago cost is down for aprox 70%...I am still waiting to become more popular and then i will probably make swich on total fiber 200/200Mb/sec 🙂

The offer us 105 down/ 10 up for like 200 a month...

Here in NL price for 120/20 tested speed is around 30euro month but there is alot of competition here so price go down ofc. When i say tested i did some speed test and manage to get download speed for 119 and upload speed on 19.7Mb/sec

Ohh you are so wrong on this one...more download bandwith you have more things you can put in download in same time without queue...plus speed will be devided on number of files that you put for download...100/20=5Mbit teoreticly per file....1000/20=50Mbit teoreticly per file.

i have 120Mb download speed and usualy how i achive max is i set 5 6files in same time by using or rapidshare or MU and i get download on each file for around 14Mb/sec if i have more bandwith and higher download capacity i would probably put much more files in same time to get max from bandwith that you pay for.

For those who have plugins for Apple Mail, i'm sure you know that Mac OS X updates usually disables them if Apple Mail is updated. Well this time around it was. These are the new UUID's for Apple Mail for you to add to your plugins to enable them again.

1C58722D-AFBD-464E-81BB-0E05C108BE06
9049EF7D-5873-4F54-A447-51D722009310

This is what you need to do with those 2 UUID numbers -

If the plugin already got moved to ”~/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled)/” move it back to ”~/Library/Mail/Bundles/” (~ refers to your User folder)

Open ”~/Library/Mail/Bundles/NAME OF PLUGIN/Contents/Info.plist” with the Property List Editor (I prefer PlistEditPro) (to see the contents folder right click on the file and choose show contents)

Insert the two UUIDs under SupportedPluginCompatibilityUUID and save the document

Start the Mail APP and be happy 🙂


I'll also update my original post with this information so others will see it.

I use the net for TV streaming. We have 2 TVs in the house that might both be on at once, not to mention laptops and gaming usage. I'll take whatever speed I can get.
