Ummmm... this update totally screwed up my system graphics. If you move a window around it looks like scanlines get bigger and smaller every other line. My text all looks aliased and way too sharp... Look at the screens
Sooo, Snow Leopard was a point release after all? Noooo, at least 50% of a new cat.
Mine took only a couple of minutes to D/L, are some of you guys still on dial up Internet cause I know Comcrap isnt all that great?
Installed the combo on both a late 2008 MBP and a 2010 MP. Both installations are working perfectly. I ran through a few apps, Rippit, A3 and PS CS 5 are working fine. Good job Apple.
Apple is known to use multiple CDNs, and, maybe something is trickling out of North Carolina. Besides, saying "Apple's content distribution" system would include their using Akamai, or another, right?
MobileMe was pretty bad, Steve has promised that they've got it right with iCloud. In a few weeks we'll know.
Seems like they changed how digital out audio is handled. It isn't sending a continuing signal anymore
You're welcome. Stateside Costcos used to carry slightly discounted iTunes giftcards, I'm not sure if they stopped after Apple pulled their hardware from Costco stores.
Lucky you guys. Mine crashed. 2010 MBP 15". I'm writing this to you from Safe Mode.
Guys, I think they really did something bad to the graphics. Try going to a resolution below 1680x1050 they all look garbled and screwed up.
You guys might not care but if you're a Mac gamer you sometimes need to use the lower settings..... this is unacceptable.

No problems with PGP Whole Disk Encryption. Somewhat dreading the update to 10.7.1. (I am sure it will have PGP issues.)
Strange, it is also the birthday of 1 in 365 other people. You guys should all get together and throw an iBirthday party.
PLEASE DONT POST COMMENTS THAT SAY "I'M DOWNLOADING IT NOW."
Every time there's an OS update we get like 3 pages of people saying things like "I'm downloading it now" and "It says 30 more minutes till my download is done" etc. Please just wait until your download has been finished and fully installed and you have something worthwhile to say about it. Even if you're just saying "I've installed it and everything is running fine and I see no changes" at least that gives us some small amount of relevant info.
Thanks.
As logical as that seems do you think anybody will listen? In addition to the "I am downloading it now" comments there is always somebody that says "Every time there's an OS update we get like 3 pages of people saying things like "I'm downloading it now"
They are both just as redundant. If you think your comments will stop retards from making comments, then I don't know what to say.
BTW I have 13 minutes left in my download.
installed on MBP. Working fine
Not for me. Both my Macbook Pro and Mac Pro could not complete the installation after running for almost 4 hours. It just hung at the end. Trying again on the MBP and it seems to be still hanging.
Downloading the full combo update worked!

Apple bought Akami a few years back actually so they are their own service. You don't have to pay for something you already own.
Great argument against it..
I specifically remember Jobs announcing that in a keynote somewhere around 2004 - 2005.
I don't need an argument against it. It's simply not true. Akamai is its own company. It's traded on NASDAQ as AKAM. It's publicly traded, has its own management structure, and has nothing to do with Apple. See, for example:
http://www.akamai.com/html/about/index.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies
You remember incorrectly.
I can't find any reference of Akamai being owned by Apple. There are references to a partnership and even the possibility of Apple dumping Akamai, but not owning them.
I might have confused own with partnership. Somehow I remember it as own but I must be delusional I guess.
Akamai technologies offers high bandwidth distributed networks and companies like Apple and Microsoft use them. Apple is just a customer of Akamai.
not ready for prime time
Now, my cursor flickers on any web browser, especially when hovering over photos or movies.
This on a loaded Mac Pro with a Quadro 4000 card. Haven't checked on the other machines yet as I'm a bit disgusted and want to go to bed.
Hopefully, they'll fix this PRONTO.
