10.6.8 Update Very Unsatisfactory

I updated from 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 a few days ago. I held out as long as I could due to what I've read in various places on the net but certain software required 10.6.8 so I had no choice. What a mistake. These updates from Apple are getting worse and worse. Starting to remind me of the distastrous 7.5.3 update which came out in the 90s. Then there was another one, 10.4.x (can't remember which one but I had to reformat my machine and revert back to an earlier version because it was so bad).
My mouse level shows 100% all the time with no fix in sight.
I've had 5 Finder quits in 2 days. Never had one in all the time I used Snow Leopard.
Copying files to external drives is way slower now. WAY slower.
Anyone else experiencing these headaches? Thanks Apple.

10.6.8 has been out for a long time. I read all about it on Macintouch, a site I've followed every day since the 90's. When I read about all the problems with 10.6.7 and 10.6.8, I stayed away from them. Now I see what everyone was complaining about. I had no choice but to install 10.6.8 so that I could update iLife 11 to the latest versions which fixed a pile of bugs (primarily iPhoto 9.2.1 -- older versions were almost unusable for me).
I installed the combo updater from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
It was listed as "Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1" and after I downloaded it manually, the filename said nothing about version 1.1. The filename was simply "MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.dmg".
Before installing, I ran DIsk Utility from both my startup CD/DVD and also from my clone (external drive). No problems found. I **always"" install manually from combo updaters.
I have my own routine for updating system software as do many others on Macintouch. I have used this same routine for years and years and have seldom experienced problems.
My question right now is that I see a "Supplemental Update" at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
Do I need to install this over top of my existing 10.6.8 installation? I never use software update to install software but I do use it to see what is available for my iMac. It doesn't show me that the "Supplemental Update" is available (or required) for my iMac. I'm tempted to just install it anyway since it's a small 10 MB update.

  • Snow Leopard Software Update VERY slow

    I'm running snow leopard 10.6.8 server and am having some very strange problems with my software updates.
    I have all the settings set right (I believe) and I have made the adjustments to allow Lion clients to upgrade from it as well.
    The problem I'm having is that when a client running either 10.6 or 10.7 is in the "checking for updates" portion of the update process it takes a very VERY long time to get the the next screen. The clients running 10.6 will show the bar going across at a snails pace for about 10-15 minutes then give the updates report showing my correct updates server at the top of the window.
    The clients running 10.7 show the blue bar only going about 1/8-1/3 of the way in, then it stops, and sits there literally for hours before completing the check, then giving me the status and it also does show my correct update server.
    I am connected through 1GB Ethernet from my clients to the server so that's not an issues and the speed is good when doing a file transfer. I can transfer 3GB to the server in less than 40 seconds, and pull that same 3GB back to the client in about 30 seconds. I can see and ping the update server. I can access the Xserve web site on my server... and the weird thing is it didn't always do this, it's only been the last month or so.
    I have thought it might be a bad or corrupt OS so I reinstalled the OS and all services.
    The clients are not managed by Microsoft AD & GP not by the apple servers.
    As I said this used to be so much faster then using the apple servers in our organization, but now it's grossly slower then going out to the apple site.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you, Mike

    Asking for the server by IP does mean you're avoiding a DNS lookup.
    It doesn't mean that the target OS X Server box won't avoid errors due to a DNS server or network error, nor that any parallel connections that might be initiated at the client or at the server won't encounter DNS errors or network errors; whatever is going on here, and whatever is triggered by the initial IP-based access.
    One of the DNS translations that can arise - even when the client is specifying an IP address - is on the remote end of the connection, when that system performs what is called a reverse look-up; translating the client IP address to the client IP name.  If there's a reverse translation arising and and if there's a DNS error or DNS timeout or a network error, then things will (still) be slow, even if the initial access was via IP.
    If you're running a NAT'd private network, that means local DNS services are necessary and (at least to start with) no references to DNS servers off your NAT'd LAN.
    If DNS services aren't quite right, the rest of the network stack gets flaky, and DNS errors look like delays, sluggist networks, and network errors. 
    There are most certainly other triggers for network slowness ranging from moisture in cables to WiFi interference to a truck that drove through the path of the WISP link, but DNS services are always a good potential culprit until proven otherwise.
    Valid DNS services have become much like IP routing; a fundamental part of a modern IP network.  This particularly as distributed security, certificate-based encryption, user authentication and access delegation become more and more important within the network environment.

  • JTextArea update VERY slow

    I have a dialog that a JTabbedPane with several tabs on it. One of the tabs contains a JTextArea that I have redirected System.out to. The JTextArea is attached to a JScrollPane and then to the JTabbedPane. The class I created to send System.out to the JTextArea does a JTextArea.append() to display the information in the JTextArea. I am NOT trying to scroll the JScrollPane to keep the last message displayed or anything like that.
    The problem is, when I write a large amount of data (30-50 lines, each line <60 characters) to the JTextArea (with System.out.println()) my application becomes unresponsive and it takes a very long time to display. This is only an issue when I have selected the tab in the JTabbedPane that contains my JTextArea. If I select another tab, writing a large amount of data to System.out has no noticeable affect on my application and it displays very quickly.
    Is there a better way to update the JTextArea than to use JTextArea.append()? The append() method seems to invalidate the entire JTextArea for each line or character that is displayed (even when the text is not actually displayed on the screen) and slows things down a lot.

    I can't really say that it is that exciting but, here it is
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    public class GUIStream extends OutputStream {
         private JTextArea               _area     = new JTextArea();
         private JScrollPane               _pane     = new JScrollPane( _area );
         public GUIStream() {
              _pane.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 450, 125 ) );
              _area.setEditable( false );
         public JComponent getOutput() {
              return _pane;
         public void write( int b ) {
              String out;
              try {
                   out = Integer.toString( b );
              catch( Exception e ) {
                   return;
              _area.append( out );
              _area.invalidate();
         public void write( byte[] buf ) throws IOException {
              write( buf, 0, buf.length );
         public void write( byte[] buf, int off, int len ) {
              _area.append( new String( buf, off, len ) );
              _area.invalidate();
         public void clear() {
              _area.setText( "" );
    }To redirect System.out, i simply did this:
    System.setOut( new PrintStream( new BufferedOutputStream( new GUIStream() ), false );To add the Component to a dialog, or whatever, use GUIStream.getOutput().

  • Vault Updating VERY Slowly in 3.1 Upgrade

    I have two questions.
    1. First vault update after a successful 3.1 upgrade is progressing VERY slowly. Database is about 70 gb and library is completely referenced. Vault update got through the upgrade process relatively quickly, and then proceeded to write the file at a normal pace. (about an hour or so). But, it got to about 70 gb, and has slowed down to a crawl. It has been churning for nearly 24 hours now, with still no signs of finishing.
    2. With a totally referenced library, backed up regularly via Time Machine to a RAID 5 array, with a secondary offsite backup done automatically to a backup service, is there REALLY any need for me to have a vault in the first place? Isn't it just an unnecessary redundancy?

    I would try to restart your Mac. 24 hours is way to long for a 70gb library.
    If Aperture won't quit for the restart, then you will have to Force Quit.
    Relaunch Aperture, after the restart, then update the Vault again. It should be fine the second time. If you want to be sure it's okay, make a new empty library, then Restore the updated Vault to it.
    I like Vaults, because with databases, it's a good idea to let the programmers handle the data integrity.
    Regarding the backup strategy :
    One backup is not enough, but two the same is slightly redundant. My policy is to have one Vault active and a second one off-site. On top of this I have an Archive of job-folders containing tiffs/raws/MFDB-Galleries/other stuff relevant to commissions/ and a mirror of this off-site.
    The off-site bit adds the not inconsiderable protection from fire, flood, theft, children, mother-in-laws and any other natural disasters.

  • Grabbing/Trimming clips after CC update very difficult

    Ever since tyne latest update, grabbing a clip (or anything) top move form the bin, trimming a clip in the timeline, audio or video is a huge pain. It often takes 4 or 5 tries to grab the clip just to perform these basic tasks. I will grab the clip in a bin, it will select like normal and when I go to move it to the timeline it will just deselect and/or just not move as I drag. Same thing when trying to trim on the timeline. I will grab and drag, but it won't move. It is also happening when I grab keyframes as well. It doesn't happen every time, but I'd say about 50-60% of the time it does. Is anyone else having this issue? It's slowing me way down and overall very frustrating.
    I'm on a 4,1 8-Core Mac Pro running OSX 10.8.5

    I know there are likely a ton of other things on the list to be updated, but it's now almost 2 months past and I am still dealing with this bug daily. It is beyond frustrating and I am almost to the point that will have to go back to a previous version of Premiere. That causes it's own issues as I often swap projects back & forth with my partner who is on CC 2014.1 without issue. Again I understand I am in the minority on this, but the issue is KILLING my productivity. Please, please don't ignore this issue for the sake of myself and others who are dealing with this as well.

  • OpenOffice looks since last update very ugly

    Hello, since last update OpenOffice 2.03 looks very very ugly but see it self.
    http://img386.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ooen4.jpg
    Whats wrong?
    If i change to Font Antialiasing in OpenOffice its a little bit better but then looks the Text like Blod.
    http://img352.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oo1jv4.jpg
    Someone know what happend? And how i can fix it?
    Thank you very much.
    Some Infos
    Name : kdebase
    Version : 3.5.5-3
    Groups : kde
    Name : gtk2
    Version : 2.10.6-1
    Groups : None

    It is a upstream problem in openoffice.org, it doesn't obey your anti-aliasing or hinting options under freetype 2.2
    This will be fixed in openoffice.org 2.1
    I have tried to backport a fedora fix for this, and I tried it with my OpenOffice 2.0.4rc3 build from aur but it didn't build. Even if it did build it would probably break some other stuff.
    I guess we have to wait for a better patch of openoffice 2.1
    In any case, it is definitely not a problem with your installation.

  • Apple TV updating very slow

    My Apple TV is taking a very long time to down load the update Apple TV 3rd gen

    around 6Gb of movie files. it takes twice the time compared to when i am transferring the same set of video files to my computer.
    which makes sense, as the appletv is communicating with your itunes library and not directly with your external HDD.
    so the data is traveling from the external HDD to your itunes library (on your pc/laptop) and then on to the appletv.

  • Itunes update, very frustrating!

    Has anyone just updated itunes and had all the songs from the albums made indivdual albums? Very frustrating!!!!!

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • Noob question: How to update very basic as2 code to as3.

    I've been asked to update a web banner with old as2 code, and not being a coder or a regular Flash user, I'm stuck with what I'm sure is a simple problem. The code in the opening frame is;
    function timeOut(pauseTime) {
      stop();
      pauseTimer = setInterval(this, "goPlay", pauseTime);
    function goPlay() {
      play();
      clearInterval(pauseTimer);
    After that there are a few frames that include timeOut(500); code, which seems basic enough, so I imagine my problems are all in the opening code.
    I get 4 errors that all refer to Frame 1;
    1120: Access of undefined property pauseTimer.
    1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type CapOne_MM_648x480b_fla:MainTimeline to an unrelated type Function.
    1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Number.
    1120: Access of undefined property pauseTimer.
    Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    For the code you show there would be no need to convert to AS3 since between AS2 and AS3 it hasn't changed.  One thing you do need to do is declare variables and since pauseTimer is used in mutliple functions it needs to be declared outside any functions.  Another thing you need to do is specify the variable types, including the arguments passed into function.  As for the setInterval call itself it appears to be written incorrectly....
    var   pauseTimer:Number;
    function timeOut(pauseTime:Number) {
          stop();
         pauseTimer = setInterval(goPlay, pauseTime);

  • Safari, mail, software update very slow on new imac

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to a 21.5" i3 imac and transferred everything from my old imac (core 2 duo, os 10.4.10)
    anything involving the internet is painfully slow, safari 5.02, firefox, mail, even the software update (but once it "catches"- downloads are fast)
    I have tried the following:
    1.) Repaired disk permissions
    2.) Changed DNS
    3.) Reset Safari
    4.) Restarted computer
    5.) Disabled all plugins (only had one which was an adobe reader)
    No improvement- when I hookup my old computer- internet is fast.
    Now for the really disturbing part- when I run windows 7 inside parallels 6, internet explorer is quick!
    Help!

    Finally- the problem has been solved
    on the second call to the cable company they flashed/reset the modem and now it is working perfectly (roadrunner wideband)-
    the first time I called they just ran a diagnostic which appeared ok.
    the second time they flashed to modem.

  • Software Updates Very Slow Reporting Compliance

    We installed updates over the weekend, through Saturday. It is now Thursday and all of them have not yet reported as compliant even though they are. Slowly more have reported each day and eventually they will all but that may not be until a few more days.
    Right now we have a good percentage still showing Last Enforcement Message Time as almost a week ago with Last Enforcement Status of Downloaded update(s). The updates have been downloaded, installed, and followed by a restart. Why are they taking so long?
    My statesys.log doesn't show any errors either. What can I do to force them to update their status as we have the default to send state messages every 15 minutes. Please help.

    What do you have for SU scan agent setting? The default is every 7 days.

  • IPhoto 9.4 update very buggy - HELP !!

    Prior to installing iPhoto 9.4 three days ago I was using OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7. These updates were installed without any problems and upon launching iPhoto 9.4 it requires that the library be upgraded and I dutifully complied.
    Problem #1
    I noticed was that when confirming potential Faces the widow displaying the faces does not scroll when displying faces only. It does scroll when displaying the photos - a selection possible with switch in the top right of the window.
    Problem #2
    A more serious problem was that when syncing my Apple TV (1st generation), iPad 2 and iPhone 4S (both with iOS 6) the Photos tab in iTunes displayed extra events that do not exist (the names indicate old previously deleted ones). In addition, there is a long list of spurious (never existed), and empty events that are named with dates in the past month. As an example there are 6 events with the name "August 14" and they are shown to be empty. These extra and spurious events are only visible in iTunes when the Photos tab is selected when syncing my Apple TV, iPad or iPhone. None of the these extra events sync to any device even when selected, likely because they are empty.
    Problem #3
    When displaying Events on the Apple TV, iPad or iPhone, they used to display in the sort order selected in iPhoto (View/Sorted by...). As an example I had them sorted to disply by date and descending, so that the most recent Events were visible at the top of the screen. When synced, they now display by date and ascending, regardless of how they are sorted in iPhoto. In addition, the list of Events displayed in iTunes appear by date/ascending and this is how they appear when synced.
    I have never experinced such a disasterous update to any Apple software  before. I am in the proccess of restoring my older version of iPhoto and its librayy in the hope that this will fix these problems. Any suggestions from someone wiser than myself are welcome.

    The bug in iPhoto has been identified and reported to Apple - they are reportedly working on a fix. The current version of iPhoto doesn't create "well formed" XML - so deleting and rebuilding the AlbumData.xml file may merely rebuild the problem. The Apple TV and iTunes can't read the bad XML, and the result is a scrambled mess.
    If you can't wait for 9.4.1, then you might want to try editing your Photo Albums. For many people, the problems are due to the Photo Albums having songs associated with them, if the song name, album name, or artist name has an &, <, >, quotation mark or apostrophe in the name it will cause problems in the XML file (symptoms vary, depending on the specifics of what character was used and where it shows up).
    You can go through each item in the left-hand column of iPhoto, one by one, and click the "sildeshow" icon (at the bottom of the iPhoto window, in the center) then choose a "safe" song, then click "play" (just for a second or two).
    Or if you want, you can open the AlbumData.xml file and search for the "& " (don't search for the quotes, but do include a single space after the & ). That should zoom into the problem song name, and the Photo Album name will be just above that - you can then go into iPhoto and edit just that one Photo Album.
    This won't work for everyone - the potential problem may affect Photo Album names, things you typed in comments - anything that gets recorded in the XML file - not just song names. And not just ampersands - but it is harder to search for apostrophes and quotation marks, < or > (unless your comfortable with "regular expressions"). It's also possible that yours is an unrelated problem, and just coincidental that the ampersand thing is happening at the same time (but I think they're likely related).
    If you're lucky, your problem will be caused by an ampersand in a song name. If not, best thing to do is just wait for the fix in iPhoto 9.4.1.

  • Iphone 4 - itunes 4.01 update very slow

    I have the new iphone 4. i'm updating to 4.01 and the progress bar is barely moving. it's 1/20 done and it's been about 45 minutes. why are these updates so slow?

    why are these updates so slow?
    Because everyone is trying to do the same as you at the same time, thus overloading Apple's servers.
