FRODO_LIFE  worst apple system release in years.

Rolled this out now on six machines and never had software crashing that frequently from iPhoto, Freeway, Photoshop etc.

I was really happy when apple said no new features but stability and usability improvements :-)

I wonder what apple did over the past year??? Leopard is more stable then SN

KKNOPP  AWESOME AS ALWAYS!

OSOS10  On top of bluetooth problems with mouse and keyboard, the OS keeps forgetting system preferences - I need to reconfigure trackpad preferences between 3 to 10 times a DAY. The crappy OS NEVER goes to sleep by itself - if I forget to put it to sleep good chances that I'll come back to a turned off computer with 0% battery. I am really getting tired of 10.6 and seriously start thinking of upgrading to 7 - and I mean M$ 7 !

YELLEKO  I don't if anyone else is having this problem, but I'll be in the middle of Photoshop project and ... BAM ! ... the screen goes to blue and I lose all my work. Is this a kernel panic or some such thing? I recall in TIGER (10.4) seeing a screen indicatng such. However, nothing in S-L. This poor cat needs a bath with flee-dip ... it's REAL BUGGY !

SKYHORSE  I've had more work and problems with this upgrade than any in OS X--and I've been using OS X since 2002. I'm used to just cleaning my drive, backing up, and then loading the new version, which goes in clean, then cleaning up the drive again. Not this one. I did expect that some third party apps would need to be upgraded, and I've had to do that. One, Norton antivirus, still sends up a dozen failure alerts every time I boot on one of my two MacBook Pro's (configured the same, but no problems on the other one) because its settings won't stay locked--they unlock automatically eveyr time I boot on this laptop. I would much rather have been able to select Rosetta and the other options the first time around rather than having to go get them for a second round of installs. I've also had one of my laptops go to a default home screen and had to set that back up manually as well, and even reenter my email account passwords and some others to use them. Overall, it's taken a couple of days to get one of my two laptops mostly back to where it was, one day for the other--not the couple of hours max like earlier versions. This version very much reminded me of my last few Windows installs before I bagged it for Mac. So I'm not terribly impressed with the install. Performance? No apparent difference than before (except that Onyx for Snow Leopard is definitely faster).

WATCHGURU  Hello,

Please excuse me if i am writing of this problem in the wrong place! I recently did a software update to 10.5.8 and since then i am getting an error - 4930 in my entourage. Also, i cannot drag and drop icons from my desk top etc. or just about move anything around my Mac book pro.

Request assistance in resolving the matter. have tried verify, repair disc etc. Also reloaded the 10.5.8 combo pack and everything seems to be OK but the error.

Thanks,

Watchguru

ISLANDMACMAN  I am quite pleased with this upgrade.

Everything is faster; a few problems I've had with 3rd party software (Vue 6) have gone away, though a new issue with re-draws have cropped up.

The only negative things I see are the disappearance of Directory Access - the over-simplificiation of something like this is not a good thing in the world of Enterprise IT. Also the removal of Appletalk is problematic if you have an Appletalk only printer (though an external print server will solve this problem).

I am quite pleased with Snow Leopard so far, perhaps the minor things will get fixed over time.

LEV  Afraid I don't really get this "snappy Finder" compliment everyone's paying to SnoLe. I can't tell the difference. Perhaps I'm just too coarse-grained... but there is one little thing which annoys the hell out of me apart from the HP printer driver snafu, and that's Services. Yes, all well and good, but in System Preferences when you select which Services to activate you get NO WAY to tell which application "owns" which Service. "Make new clipping"? Yes, but to /what/? In the Services menu itself you get a little app icon, but that's a bit late in the day.

Not sure I like the was SnoLe apparently deprecates contextual menus, either. What with the various other little problems, SnoLe has scribbled up my workflow more than any previous point update, so it's rollback for me. First time I've ever done it. Lord, the shame.

C. SPENCER VAN GULICK  While the new finder, in particular, is finally as snappy as it ought always to have been, I'm sorry I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My office printer, an HP 2100TN LaserJet (PostScript 2, 1200 dpi, built like a brick) for which Snow Leopard drivers were included in 10.6 and again in 10.6.1 (and which Apple insists is a "supported" printer) does not communicate with my iMac without Appletalk - dropped in Snow Leopard - and three hours with two pleasant and earnest Apple experts at tech support could not get it working. So upgrading to Snow Leopard has truncated my office workflow, brought it to a standstill, with neither remedy nor workaround in sight. I still have the original Leopard installed on a second drive, from which Appletalk still successfully marries the 2100 to the computer. But with no printer I can't use Snow Leopard, so the purchase was a waste of money. Somebody was too cavalier about all the unsupported printers on the new system, and the "supported" printers like mine, which don't work either. Please don't install this on your primary drive without some research. The part that works for everybody is faster, but it can bring productivity to a screeching halt.

AVIDMCUSER  What this update IS to me:

a) An excellent indication that apple is making efforts to quickly address and solve some of the problems introduced by a x.0 release

b) Further refinements to an operating system of and for the future. Perhaps not perfect today but it will get there progressively.

What this update IS NOT to me:

An ultimate and final fix for all issues users are experiencing. Although many, I have only experienced apparent issues with third party applications that may not yet be updated for Snow Leopard compatibility and prompt efforts from the developers would be appreciated and expected as we move forward.
