Mac OS X Snow LeopardApple has released Mac OS X 10.6.2, a 473MB mega-update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which fixes performance issues with the new iMac and includes a ton of other fixes and feature updates. Read on to find out why it’s worthy of installation…

As well as addressing the bizarre data loss issue when logging into OS X Snow Leopard through a guest account, OS X 10.6.2 fixes issues with Exchange contacts appearing in Spotlight results, and fixes video playback and performance issues for the latest iMacs.

There’s a fistful of font fixes too, some graphics glitches have been ironed out and problems with connecting additional screens via DVI or Mini DisplayPort adaptors should be sorted by the OS X 10.6.2 update.

There’s also some love for MobileMe, with speeded up access times for iDisk and improved synching via MobileMe, iTunes and iSync.

The Mac OS X 10.6.2 update is available now for free, and your Mac should have started badgering you to install it already. If you’re using regular OS X Leopard, there’s a 144MB update waiting for you too, delivering security patches galore!

      Hey CJ84, that’ll be the mammoth Snow Leopard update. The 144MB update is for Leopard users. Sorry for the mix up, either way you’ll be waiting a while!

        Just something I noticed! I haven’t encountered any of the problems listed above or on the Apple website. Still, it’s best to keep up to date no matter how long the download will take. Shouldn’t be too long!
