Does it fix screen glitches and freezing?

Any news on the MacBook Pro (early 2011) and the flickering 24" Cinema Display issues?

Thats what i'm testing now since this was the only mild issue i was having. When i first finished the update and restarted as normal i got a blackout. However i have since cleared all caches, shutdown, disconnected all cables, done an SMC/PRAM reset and fingers cross thus far it seems fine. No blackouts and no glitches.

Still keeping an eye out though because i'm a skeptic and because the first rushed update rarely solves the problem when it comes to Apple.

Sidenote: No freeze or crash under load either...but then again i never had those issues prior to the update.

I wish i remembered to take a snapshot of Sys Profiler prior to the update to know whats changed. Darwin/Kernel version seems to have moved to 10.7.3 as far as i can tell.

Woot, white page on combo updater page. Doh




It's all your fault! =p

Not my fault. MacRumors posted it so I say we should hijack their servers to distribute the patch... At least until the demand dies off.

updating my computer only took 2 mins.....not 2 hours.....😎

I was downloading the update on 4 macs and it only took 8 mins 😎

 

[z3cko]

no changes for me 🙁

this still does not fix the issues on the new MacBook Pro 2011 models (15" 2.3ghz) - just tested on the two machines we have here. Still they are getting too hot, constantly the fans are blowing (testing with Transmission/Bittorrent downloading the Ubuntu DVD). Also we had two freezes already (only under heavy load). I am posting updates on our findings to our blog ( http://j.mp/dLSqgy ) - and we are still waiting for replacements from apple.

Doesn't appear to be any TRIM support in 10.6.7?

Just installed, still says TRIM: no

Seriously disappointing.

 

[CANEHDN]

Updates are done on my 2 machines and everything seems to be running just dandy.

I love updates!

Just installed, still says TRIM: no

This makes me think we are not going to see widespread TRIM support til Lion.

wondering this too...can anyone confirm security patch is included in 10.6.7? and what is a combo update, always wondered?

Combo update will install 10.6.7 on every version of 10.6 from 10.6.0-10.6.6. Basically it's a shortcut to avoid multiple 'normal' updates (called Deltas). It's also purported to be more stable to install a combo update in case any of the previous updates are currently incomplete for whatever reason.

still downloading, 75 minutes later... 😱 wtf? i'm in NYC and have relatively un-sucky (for most of the time) cable innernette... what gives, Akamai?

Thanks for explaining!

I have the same spec 15" 2.3 I7 and everything it fine here!

Run the yes > /dev/null for 25 mins with a movie 1080P playing and itunes playing got up to 99'c and i manually switched from intel to AMD GFX via GFXcardstatus lots of times not problem just a 1/2 sec pause where it switched!

 

[Lucky736]

Had it on for about 40 or 50 minutes. No new issues. Actually seems faster throughout the OS. 64-bit Safari issue with Flash and Youtube still not fixed.

Wow! My Macbook Pro (2009, 13") is MUCH snappier! Very nice update, thanks!

i too have a 15" 2.3 i7, and i suspect this may be what's killing my battery. i seriously don't get more than 3 hrs battery life - EVER. how are yours??

hoping this update fixes mine... IF IT EVER DOWNLOADS!!!

Update for my 27" iMac was 200mb larger than for MBAir and MacBook. Any ideas if there are specific updates for the iMac with this larger d/l?

 

[chrono1081]

Everything is installed and fine on all of my machines (well except the MBP in my sig its at a friends house). But the Mac Pro and my MBA are good to go.

 

[Willis]

Done in 4 mins... restarting now boom

 

[CompanionCube]

Excellent performance improvement on my Early 2011 15"!!!

They made an error in the naming. This is the security update for Leopard!

Oh, really? Weird. Thanks.

 

[als522877]

Thanks but whaaa?? Laymans terms? What do I do to get them back?

Also, any idea what was updated in mail from 4.4 to 4.5?

Not sure what they updated in mail but 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.

 

[petvas]

Just installed it on all my Macs. The App Store seems to be working better now. I can install updates with no problems. Before the updates I used to get error messages and couldn't update apps.

 

[tkermit]

The weather widget has been updated. 😱 😀

How? 🙂

Like so:

😛

(Somehow, though, I can't imagine that this will have fixed the issue I've been experiencing where the widget would move on its own from time to time)

Granted my 2.1 macbook has the intel 950 video but I've been getting this bit of laggy finder performance like whenever I select an item and send to trash its not instantaneous like it used to be for example.
Maybe this'll fix that.
