Apple today released an update to Boot Camp to include support for Microsoft Windows 7, which was released last October, as well as addressing other issues and adding support for the latest Apple peripherals. Boot Camp is a Apple's tool to allow Intel Mac owners to boot dual boot Windows alongside Mac OS X. Running Windows under Boot Camp provides you with a fully compatible Windows environment.
This update adds support for Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate), addresses issues with the Apple trackpad, turns off the red digital audio port LED on laptop computers when it is not being used, and supports the Apple wireless keyboard and Apple Magic mouse.


Boot Camp 3.1 (in 64-bit and 32-bit versions) requires an authentic copy of Microsoft Windows 7 or Microsoft Windows 7 upgrade, as well as an Intel-based Mac computer. In a support document about Boot Camp and Windows 7 last updated on January 6, Apple also noted that the following computers would not be supported for use with Windows 7 in Boot Camp:
iMac (17-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (17-inch, Late 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Early 2006)
iMac (20-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2006)
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2006)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006, Intel Xeon Dual-core 2.66GHz or 3GHz)


In addition to Boot Camp 3.1, Apple has also released Boot Camp Utility for Windows 7 Upgrade, which is needed before upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 and "safely unmounts the read-only Macintosh volume on Microsoft Vista."

Apple releases Safari 4.0.4 with security flaw patch
According to Apple, the flaw allowed maliciously crafted images with an embedded color profile to execute arbitrary code, or unexpectedly terminate the application. The issue does not affect Mac OS X 10.6 systems, and was already addressed with Security Update 2009-005 for Mac OS X 10.5.8 systems.

The 36.2MB download is available via Software Update. In addition to the security patch, Safari 4.0.4 is said to offer:

Improved JavaScript performance

Improved Full History Search performance for users with a large number of history items

Stability improvements for third-party plug-ins, the search field and Yahoo Mail

need to do regression for this hotfix (if you're very particular on your system)

Updated 10.6.2 on my iMac, networking (AFP) is working properly now. Previously it took a long time to get file list of other Mac volumes.

Me still downloading but boy... the download is really slow on my side.

Its a huge download , I've downloaded it and bam it did run pretty well . You'll notice that things are bit faster with this new upgrade


By the way , Macbook users can try true 64-bit , There are new Intel graphics driver for 64-bit kernelspace

Still on 10.5.8 here Dunno when only can I add the "Snow" into my leopard~

BTW, both my bro and sis hv the Snow Leopard retail CD, is it shareable I wonder?

This post has been edited by chingwooi: Nov 10 2009, 06:06 PM

the update for my Mac is 157MB... yup did fix this

"an issue in which the brightness setting may not be remembered on restart"

still wondering got any other this fixed on my mac...

you can just thier dvd copy
if you dont mind, it works

just installed 10.6.2
what i found out now is.......
1. the safari when open webpage in Top Site there's no more lines already.
2. the speed is faster ==? i really felt so.
3. to be discovered.

i also suddenly feel it's faster than before

There seems to be a bug somewhere which renders the four-finger gesture on the trackpad unusable... however this can be rectified after a PRAM reset....

finally someone felt the same too!!!

safari so much smoother with the new update... reverting back from firefox liao.

Finally downloaded and upgraded! Apple forced a 499MB down my MacBook Pro. I wonder why do you guys have such a small download size?

The installation went fine and things were really responsive. I mean 10.6.1 is responsive to me but this new update just make it a notch faster! I'm happy the 4 finger gesture issue has been resolved along with other bugs/issues! Really glad with my MBP now

Updating now. Full with excitement. Can't wait to see whats the improvement done.

you probably see nothing

This is really good to hear that
Might goin' to install SL again.. LoL

Downloading Safari 4.04. Hope there wont be any bug. Literally.

10.6.2 is an awesome update, stupid beachballs come up less often.

After upgrade my macbookpro , the f1 and f2 button that control the brightness.
i need to increase until 13 level , before that i only need 3 level only, is this a problem?
anyone?

Try resetting the PRAM.

Restart your Mac, before the Apple logo, hold down CMD + OPT + P + R

hmmm. safari seems abit responsive and faster after the upgrade

Can i know are u replying my question?
coz still not work...

i dont understand ur question. mind elaborating? u mean ur brightness now not as good as before?

Well i also not sure how to say in word...


well when u press f1 or f2 where u control the brightness right? and the screen will appear the control and u can see the level right? and the total level is 16 where the most brightness level is u need to press 16 times
before upgrade the my level is only 3 and now after upgrade i need to increase the level until 12 level so it will be same brightness as before upgrade.

my mbpro decided to run out of batt halfway through the recent OS update.

unfortunately im having problems with it now,
- start up takes around 10 mins
- system refuses to shut down (notifies me that i would have to hold down the power button instead)
- my finger slide gestures do not work

have tried reinstalling the Snow Leopard but i cant go through with the restarting stage, also ran Disk Utility and Repair Disk yet there's still no difference.

can anyone help me with this? thanks.

wah, this is big mess you got
cuz it already recommend you plug in power plug while updating

leave it to expert to help you up

Way much faster. The top sites showing is now faster than before. less lag.
I'm back after a "holidays" lol. Saw your signature, its one of my voice too

after i updated to 10.6.2: just realized that my finger slide gestures stops working sometimes
have to restart the system to be able to use it again..it actually happens before, but i didnt bother
but today it happens again..

anyone discovered the same problem?

This post has been edited by v1rtual: Nov 16 2009, 12:36 PM

You should try resit it but pressing left shift+left option+left control key with power button once for 5 sec when start up. I have that problem evertime i reformat my windows on bootcamp,just have to do it once and it solve.

mind telling me what does that do??
to reset what yah?? thx

It reset PMC..something like that.I'm not really sure.

Follow this step:

Shut down your computer normally.
Press (only once and shortly) left shift + left control + left option keys and the power button.
Wait 5 seconds
Turn the computer on. The sleep light should blink shortly.

okay, thanks for the link
from what i searched, PMC is some sort of a chip on the motherboard which are note removable
i guess its works like BIOS?

hahha
cuz now mac os x sl is cheap, but eversince, i use genuine OS since i ca afford

ff8ong
Shut down your computer normally.
Press (only once and shortly) left shift + left control + left option keys and the power button.
Wait 5 seconds
Turn the computer on. The sleep light should blink shortly.

do we press all those during the shutting down or after it is totally off??
i tried to press from the off condition, and see nothing, no blinking or whatsoever?

do you comes to anything when doing that?

This post has been edited by v1rtual: Nov 16 2009, 10:02 PM

just shut down normally..then press those button for 5 sec then wait another 5 sec then just click power button to turn on ur mac.
i guess it will be solve

no, just press one, dont not hold for 5 seconds

nope

just updated mine today, no such problem.

Not in my case, the stupid beachball come up every 10 seconds even I am only in gmail !!

same to me

what happen to your mac?
quite odd case

the stupid beachball always came out even I'm just in facebook or forum
once the beachbcall came out, whole system would stuck at there and I can't do anything
don't know when Apple can fix this problem

Hi. I need an assistance here. Today i just bought a new MBP 2.53Mhz from LYP Apple Store. A big switchover from Windows to Mac.

However, today is my first trouble encoutered here. I can say its not a problem but no experience handling Mac. Sorry, i'm so naive using Mac.

How to open few browsers at a time? It seems that i stuck with the same page but don't know how to open few more? TQ.

Apple + N

file > new window, works too.

try update your flash player

actually every app open eg safari would have a help button at the navi bar ontop, just click there to know more about the app.

You can also drag any tab from the existing window out to the open space/desktop and automatically it will open a new window.

Otherwise, Cmd-Opt-Click on any link to open in new window.

im experiencing this problem too unfortunately.

try clearing the safari cache.. i had that problem earlier.. after clearing, it seemed less now..

thx for it! but still wondering wad isit for?
means dont have the mechanical sound when i press the power button?

me also not sure
just updated

tried to restart... and cheh! the squeeking sound's still there...
"which promises to mute the optical drive's munchy sounds on startup in MacBook Pros"
or just because i'm not a macbook pro but macbook saje?

It seem the update does not apply to 13" MacBook Pro, no?

my one does have sound but not that loud

i just installed the EFI 1.8 update. according to the instruction, im supposed to launch software update again to install the superdrive update thing. but somehow my software update won't launch anymore anyone got a clue?

when i launch it, the icon will bounce at the dock, n after a few seconds it will just sit there (right clicking tells me the app is not respoding). the app itself never launched. software update is listed in the force quit list (but no 'not responding'), but not in cmd+tab.

[attachmentid=1347054

had this update when i just came back from school. hmm.. wonder wad isit?
when it restarts, it still have its squeeking sound.

After i update the Airport Client Update, my Airport signal become weak than before @_@
Because my router is at downstair, my room at upstair, usually can get 3-4 bar ~
But now keep stay on 2 bar only ~
I usually remote desktop to my windows pc and copy data from the pc thru network sharing, data transfer speed is slower than update before @_@
Should i feedback to apple @@?

guys, after the update i realise the squeeking sound really gone already. yay ^^

Still have the superdrive sound after update...

same.. still have the sound after the update..

it only applies for reboot, wake up and i forget the other one.
but it won't work for starup. i read it somewhere else.

I don't usually reboot my mac.. no wonder didn't notice it..

it doesnt eliminate the sound... but i think it's not as loud anymore..

the nice thing is i noticed my system doesnt lag as before when burning DVDs

i cant set my airport extreme dual band :/

guys, do you have problem reading CD after update?

nop but i feel the response/reading kinda slow.. takes time

it read DVD, most of the CD but not audio CD
why? why apple wanna kill my mac?

i was trying to rip 3 CDs for my mom juz now. only managed to rip 1, the other two was ejected a few seconds after i inserted them. both got minor scratch lah so i thought that was the problem (but they managed to play well on the radio though)
