OS X 10.6.2 offers tons of fixes, breaks Atom support again

Filed under: OS Updates, Security, Macintosh, Apple

This Atom Hackintosh story’s been flip-flopping like a dolphin at SeaWorld, but here’s the final answer: OS X 10.6.2 is out, and it apparently does not run on machines with Atom CPUs. That’s the bad news. The good news is that 10.6.2 offers an absolute smorgasbord of tweaks and fixes. Apple’s release notes with one of these OS updates usually include some vague message about improved security and stability, and that’s it. This time, there’s a laundry list of improvements.

The update, which is around 160MB if you’re upgrading from 10.6.1, corrects a few nagging issues in the Finder: Exchange contacts not showing up in Spotlight, flaky menu extras, wonky VPN connections and – this one was a personal peeve of mine – not being able to add photos to Address Book. Also, the problem with opening multiple downloaded files at once (a problem Apple never actually acknowledged) is now fixed. Hooray! The whole list is pretty long, and there’s also an extensive list of potential exploits addressed by 10.6.2’s security update.
