Snow Leopard 10.6.1 already on the prowl?

@ Antonio

Your views intrigue me. Can you elaborate?

all my apple apps are crashing. Mail, pages, aperture

i’m sure it will get sorted.
in the meantime partition your drive and install your old leopard on the second partition

Geez, sure is troll in here.

Nice day out, why don’t y’all come out from under the bridge for a while and smell the flowers?

Running 10.6.0 for the past week on an MBP 2007 and Mini 2009. Only issue so far is very slow AFP auth on SL, which apparently is not a generic problem, and FF 3.5.2 hanging at shutdown, which is probably an extension. Still trying to track those two down. Running full Office 2008 stack no problems.

Compared to my experience with 10.5.0/10.5.1/10.5.2, which was not good, SL is an 8/10.

SL has given me tons of spinning pinwheels and rampant connction drops, browsing and email don’t work. Sucks.

Wow, you guys must all never do anything at your respective workplaces that would ever be construed as something that needs improvement or anything. I did a clean install and no issues. If you’re Hackintoshing it, then you should expect things to need tweaking.

My wife uses a Mac and I’m on a PC. When I get ready to upgrade to Win 7, I’ll make clones of the current set up on 3 different drives and launch with a rosary in one hand and a fire extinguisher in the other. But then I’m paranoid and its Windows. My wife just popped in the Snow Leopard disk and upgraded, because it’s a Mac and its suppose to work. Big mistake. Mail crashes every time she tried to sent a JPEG attachment, but the show stopper was Photoshop CS3 crashing every time she tried to save.

After checking online for issues, Adobe admits that CS3 and CS4 crash on saving with some machines but not all. No fix yet. Maybe 10.6.1 will help. I’m happy for those who didn’t have any problems and glad that Apple is releasing an update so quickly. But I can’t wait for that. I reverted to Leopard and other than wasting a whole day, things are back to normal. I’m not an Apple hater, but they shot themselves in the foot with this release.

Snow Leopard is an ATROCITY! Not only does Apple charge us $30 to upgrade our operating systems, but it strips away printing functionality for half the printer universe. Soon, there will be do difference at all between AAPL and MSFT. OMG…….

Anyone else besides me lose your screen savers? All the cool ones no longer work on my computer, thanks to SL.

I’ve also had word and excel crash. I’m uninstalling blow leopard today.

@ Troll Wallace

You’ve never posted before. You’re a fraud.

If you’re not a fraud, turn in all your mac products. You’re not worthy.

Antonio Said: “haha Apple SUCK. Lookit all the softwares that don’t work. You SUCK apple!!!!!!”

Really? It’s also on the developers to make sure their apps are working with the new operating system. Now, in their defense, the operating system did come out a month early.

They need to be compiled for 64 bit. If the developer is still active, it will be very simple for them to do this.

OK,

My HP All in one c4480 stopped working after the upgrade. It is because the old driver from HP and all that junk was still there. I did an uninstall with the program that came with the printer located in my applications program. The went to control panel printers and reset printer system. Then rebooted computer. Put in the original Snow leopard DVD, went to other installations, chose printer installation (had printer attached and turned on), and installed the printer drivers. Now everything works perfectly. Also, you can unplug your printer, launch software update (after you deleted your old driver, reset print system, and rebooted). While software update is running plug in your printer and turn it on. Software update will download the same software content from the web thats also on your leopard DVD. My scanner & printer now work! The problem is the update did not delete some of the old printer drivers that were originally downloaded, or installed from original HP files. These files have to be removed with the HP uninstall program and the remaining files in your applications folder for HP have to be dragged to the trash. NONE of the old software runs on 10.6 from HP’s website, or original printer software.

My issue with 10.6 is that it spontaneously rebooted about three or four times in the week since I upgraded. Other than that, I am not really noticing any increased speed. I hope this restarting issue will be addressed in 10.6.1

I hope they release it soon – my machine was so stable under Leopard… Now, with Snow Leopard, it hangs on shutdown, My DVD player crashes, and third party software needs to be upgraded – who knows what else I will find.

I’ve had nothing but problems with Snow Leopard. I expected this to be a “behind the scenes” upgrade/update that wouldn’t effect anything I use. I was completely wrong to install this without waiting as I usually do. I’ve had problems with most apps crashing for no apparent reason, even System Preferences. Adobe CS3 Master Collection is now being reinstalled to see if that fixes anything but if it doesn’t it’ll leave many of those applications useless due to crashes on saves, etc. If an Apple update doesn’t fix the CS3 issues I expect Adobe to put some elbow grease into fixing the problems (even though they’ve already stated they aren’t going to, bad, bad business there, need a competitor). Even Safari has crashed a few times.

Overall this is one of the more frustrating upgrades as it’s incompatibilities and bugs create an environment not suitable for me to get any work done.

not just sierra wireless modems work with snow leopard –
this article lists all the Sprint and Verizon EVDO devices that already work using Snow Leopard’s built-in WWAN support: http://bit.ly/1r5pNe

everything crashes, also with 10.6.1 : microsoft office 2008, adobe cs4, bbedit, safari

bah …

All,

With all my respects, but something that´s not work really with snow leopard.

Certainly resembles me the typical problems with Windows/Intel upgrades.

But linking dots, it is a fact that Apple has removed compatibility with not-intel platforms.

Going beyond this, clearly there is something in the Intel platform and the development kits around it that are far behind in terms of reliability and quality of the non-intel platforms.

I am in this for more than 15 years and really, I am getting a familiar feeling with the way that Windows works, the main reason for me to switch to Mac several years ago.

Point, there is that the quality of the developments for Intel are far from the quality of the developments from previous platforms, but look at SUN, Digital, etc.. proprietary platforms, only IBM has been able to withstand Intel.

I would not recommend anyone to upgrade to Leopard yet. I have one iMac, one Mac Mini, one iMac G5 and one MacBook pro and excep the iMac G5 the others are giving me all kind of nasty little problems after upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Is this Apple’s Vista?
Is there any thing that we (as consumers) can do?
Would a Class-Action do any good?
I was just wondering.

I am not happy…..I am not sure what SL improved, Yes did get back a lot of hard drive space. but excel 2004 now crashes my computer and my printer won’t print CD’s. lucky for me I have a MacBook that has not been tarnished By SL. Excel is a pretty standard program and my printers are epson and HP. Steve is back now I am sure he is yelling at somebody

How do I get Snow Leopard off! I bought this system it really sucks worse then Microsoft crashes every thing. Can’t get work done because it crashes adobe before saving

Wow, I guess I was lucky. Just last night it turned my machine into a door stop.

It crashes on startup, shutdown, WOW, Firefox, you name it. Now i wish I had made a duel boot system. and this is all on 10.6.1.

Well I got Snow Leopard new update. 6.1 And granted not everything crashes all the time now. Most things demanding now just crash, like running photoshop. I paid 3000.00 for a snow vista, I could have gotten this from Microsoft for half the price. Truthfully I paid the big bucks for a system and a company who is so posed to work the bugs out within the company and not have the customers work the bugs out from their wallets. I love apple products, but they will be a dying company if they keep this up. It is time to get priorities in order Apple. I-phones, I-pods won’t keep you afloat any more. When google marches in, you only have your reputation and that is very stained in the last two years. Get a hold of yourselves and start making a superior product again!

I want my money back, and extra for all the frustrations.
