Can’t wait to install this tonight!
Been waiting for a month…
I’ve been waiting for this since 10.6.7 came out!!!
I have only had a problem with my iMac for a month…
Which I can say, as far as I can tell… It’s fixed now. The discussion boards seem to concur. All of us WiFi sufferers are crossing fingers now.
snappy
Downloading it now. Will give it a whirl when I get home.
So snappy, my hand flew off my magic trackpad and slapped my dog!
I’m just glad you didn’t slap your monkey….
Snappy=Good…
Dog slappin’=bad.
But is shore is snappy, y’all!
BEWARE?
I just installed 10.6.8. Now my screen has dark banding starting from the bottom of the screen. Overall the screen’s maximum brightness had been reduced.
Also, webpages seem to load more slowly.

Try downloading and installing the combo update over your (I assume) delta update.
I noticed a slow down loading webpages too!
repair permissions? that helped me…
Just downloaded the update on my 4 year old iMac and a 4 year old MacBook Pro.
No problems. Things work well, and Safari loads just as fast.
Paving the way for the Lion… It’s good to have the official “base” for the Lion upgrade in place.
Remember get the “COMBO” update. It’s huge and thats how we like it!
Updated an hour ago, seems to work just fine. I always worry about my Vectorworks CAD program and upgrade to only one mac and check that it is compatible. Again with this update no problem there, nor anywhere I have found so far.
I read similar comments quite frequently (Download the “combo”). I’ve been using my white Macbook, that came with Tiger, for over 4 years. I have used the software update for every Tiger, Leopard and now Snow Leopard update without issue. What am I missing?
Nothing.
I have the exact experience as you across mini’s, iMacs, iBooks, etc.
Downloading the Combo is a recommended maintenance tool- I’ve more than once relied upon a Combo install to ‘recondition’ a Mac. It’s a much faster step than trying to troubleshoot what damn little file somewhere is bunging things up. But I usually update from Software Update, and have never had a problem, even running a lab of iMacs.
Damn! I was hoping this would fix my cross-over dribble and jumpshot.
Thats just AGE kicking your ass, no cure for that yet..
It fixed Ballmer’s right nut though.
Yeah but they hang unbalanced. Maybe 10.6.9 will fix it. lol
Still can’t play guitar, stupid update!.
can’t play guitar?
