Some Details on First Mac OS X 10.6.1 Seed (Build 10B503)

something that was noted by Adobe that I've noticed in other applications (Numbers '08, Office 2004) is applications sometimes hanging when open/save dialogs are brought up. I'd really like this to be fixed in 10.6.1, as it has been the only issue for me, but a big one. It seems to happen most when backups are taking place to my time capsule.

This is what is causing my browser issues. They only seem to lock when the Open File dialog is used.

Now I know more about it. Thanks!

i'm having trouble connecting to a networked canon printer, so i hope this release fixes that issue.

are you so sure that Snow Leopard is the issue. and it isn't that Canon, despite a year's warning, failed to update their drivers in a timely fashion

standard practice. you can't test for every single issue since you can't replicate every one of the thousands of possible set ups. so you do the best you can and see what turns up as issues. address the biggies as quick as possible.

Update: The new build updates Adobe Flash to 10.0.32.18, addressing a concern reported earlier today.

had a feeling this issue was already underway

Seems kinda like a...weak update but better than nothing

common practice to release things as they are ready. and also to go in small steps to ensure that one batch is truly fixed before releasing the next

Gee, I'd just like an update that would stop all my programs from continually crashing. :mad:

Sounds to me like you need to remove something you may have installed. Try searching for corrupt fonts. Font Book can help with that. Try creating a fresh user account and see if the programs keep crashing. If that's the case, there's some corruption on your system that no software update will fix.

To counter your experience, I run weeks on end without any crashes.

LOL, you're lucky to even get Office 2004 opened. Mine hung on the beach ball of death.

But yea, I'm waiting until the save-open issues are cured as well. That was 90% of my problems with Snow Leopard.

True. However, I downloaded the latest Canon drivers, but the Print Setup does open the standard dialog to open these networked printers as it did in Leopard. And either way, I have no ability to connect to 3 large printers at work. So, unless this gets resolved in the 10.6.1 update, I'm going to have to go back.

perhaps that will be in the next 'browser' update?!

Well my browser issue is more of a Open/Save Dialog issue.

I knew it was related since it happened in every browser and only when using the Open/Save Dialog. My only issue after that was the failure of Spotlight to pick up on my comments. Reindexing didn't fix it. Upgrading instead of a clean install preserved them.

Without Spotlight I can't do anything.
 
I haven't seen a lot of these issues.

I never installed the Watcher Program Sierra offers and didn't have a problem with Snow Leopard. The Sierra Watcher was bugging even in Leopard.

Updating Flash seems like a minor thing. The fact that it auto downgraded was the more interesting part of that story.

My only real issues with Snow Leopard is a lack of support on some of my Apps. I can't really blame Apple for any of those issues.

And this "warning" was:

"Next year we're going to make incompatible changes to the Apple OS so that many of your perfectly functioning applications and drivers will fail. Please update your software now to avoid annoying your customers. Someday we'll send you most of the information that you need to do this.

Why do Apple users expect that 3rd party vendors should be constantly updating software for devices sold years ago, just because Apple can't do a compatible OS upgrade?

looks like Apple rushed to release Snow Leopard (service pack) before Win 7
Click to expand...

Dude. Seriously. It's NOT A SERVICE PACK. Win7 is more of a service pack, IMO. It's just a Vista fix. Like 2000 to ME. SL is improving, not fixing. Get your terms straight. Either way, all new OSs have issues. Code changes which messes everything up. It happens EVERY time, on EVERY OS. Stop acting so surprised.

Either way, I just want the old Preview back. I can't merge PDF files now, and that's NOT good for someone who owns a small business. Oh well. I knew going into this there were going to be bugs. At least I was ready.
 
for those having problems using their sierra wireless modems, call sierra @
1 877 231 1144

just say your carrier referred you to call and make sure to mention you are using snow leopard. they got mine back up and running. i forgot every single step they told me to do, but it did work.

I'll be super mad if they don't fix the issue with the 4 finger swiping on the Macbook pro's not always working properly. i used that SO much when i first got this machine so it gets really annoying. i'm sure its something they can't ignore though, many people have had the problem :/

You should really look at the changes in Windows 7 before making a comment like that...

This comment is nonsensical - Windows 2000 and Windows ME are completely different operating systems, with completely different codebases.

A lot of the posts here seem to show that 10.6 is "breaking", not "improving" things.
 
AT&T SierraWireless 881 modem question.

Now I downloaded the latest build of Sierra Watcher that activates the 881 modem. Running it on 10.5.8, it does seem smoother. Prior to that I had to do a restart to get it to connect to the nearest cell tower which is only a thousand yards from here every three or four logons. Now it is much more stable. Question, SierraWireless says the new build is compatible with SL. Has anyone tried it?
:confused:

"2000 to me" is bs. windows 98 -> me -> xp. windows nt 4.0 -> 2000.

for the preview in snow leopard, learn how to use the software before say it is a bug. I did add a page of pdf to another pdf file in preview or ...merge.
 
I just want the update to fix my slow Spaces transitions.... All other animations work great except for Spaces! I really really really don't want to do a clean install to fix this issue assuming that it's not driver related... :rolleyes:

This has been a really smooth upgrade for everyone I know. Only problems I've had is with some Logitech mouse drivers not assigning Expose to additional buttons, but I found a workaround.

Also...remember to update your Flash back to the more secure version.

Hopefully it also fixes issues with graphics for Mac Mini users.

I know i have the same prob with my logictech mouse How do i do the workaround cause that what i used my expose. Its really annoying cause it would have been a perfect upgrade if my mouse drivers worked and my Photo booth worked to i dot know why its not work i even tried using the one in the app folder on my HDD
