Hello,
Here is the list I have so far with this latest update.
> Preview Crashes when looking at an Excel Files. if Preview is used on an Excel file within Outlook then Outlook crashes.
> App Store crashes
> iTunes Store crashes
That's it so far....
Mac OS X (10.6), 10.6.8
Try repairing permissions and restarting. You could also try a safe boot to see if that fixes the issues. If not download the combo update and install it.
Hope one of these help.

The huge set of problems with this update was slowly resolved, the companies started updating their programs and drivers, and things got gradually better. The biggest problem for me was the parallels, it works like a charm now.
Then apple decided to do another update and my computer started to freeze every other hour.
After months of pain, and waste of time visits to apple store, recently they acknowledged the error and rolled out a mid 2010 MacBook pro update which fixes the nvidia card related freeze.
Now I have some issues with the system controller, but I am not sure if it is software related.
In short, after the storm we are in relatively calm waters now. I am trying to embrace the next storm with apple pushing sand boxing of applications like iPad. Probably I will stop using a Mac if apple does that.
Thanks for your reply.
I'll get ready to do the update to 10.6.8 - using the combo updater - on my new iMac. I had been worried about the App store (which it turned out was present in my 10.6.6 too). I've since learned how to disable/bypass the calls home, so I'm ready to go ahead.
Thanks again, mbaris,

i dont know if any one has really touched on this problem with 10.6.8 but as soon as i updated the system last night, my text sizes whent super small... i am running my macbook on my 55" led tv, before the update everything was great, now i can bairly make out what im typing to you.
if anyone has a way around this it would be greatly appreciated, i have no back up, i only back up what i really want to keep, i pick and choose so i dont have a copy of what my computer was befor the update.
if there is a way to revers the update that would be awesome...
thanks.
Hello, hooberjabber,
Go into system preferences/displays and check to see that the screen resolution size is appropriate - try a lower resolution.
Hope this helps!
