Quicktime X crashes all the time when converting files to AppleTv. And trim only the ends and not the middle? What's up with that Apple? Quicktime7 worked better than that!
QT7 is on the SL disk. It is in Applications -> Utilities if you need it (if I remember correctly it was optional at install time. )
I have one complain about SL and one only, and that is: FIX THE START UP TIME!!!!
I love the shutdown time on SL, and the start up time of Tiger, please combine the two Apple, cause right now my dad's crappy vista starts up faster then my SL macbook
Wow, I have to ask....from powered off or from sleep? My wife's Asus with Win7 is horridly slow when waking from sleep. It takes my early '08 MBP about 6 seconds to go from sleep to having a webpage open. I think my Dell 8200 with XP SP3 takes less time to boot than it does for Win7 to wake from sleep.
Maybe it's time for you to do a clean install and start over?

On the MacBook in my signature, my boot up time is about 40-45 seconds. If yours is much slower, either more RAM, faster HD, or something else should be looked at.
Not sure what you have in mind. I have a gripe about Preview - the sidebar containing the thumbnails is unnecessarily wide and cannot be narrowed. I translate from PDF documents displayed in Preview to a Word document to the right and lose too much screen real estate to the sidebar (which is useful for navigation now that page numbers no longer appear at the top of Preview)
Problems described a few posts up. I'd be very curious to know whether anyone else is experiencing these issues with Preview. Based on some of the comments I've read on Apple's support boards, a lot of people are unhappy with Preview in Snow Leopard.
I wonder if 10.6.3 will finally bring at least full OpenGL 3.0 support for DX10 GPUs? Both ATI and nVidia already provide full OpenGL 3.2 support in both Windows and Linux.
I have a website that streams QT and WMV training videos to members. The QT streams have no problems with the latest versions of Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Opera in 10.5.8 but Safari resolutely refuses to play them in 10.6.2, displaying a Quicktime icon with a white question mark. However, Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and Opera all play them fine under 10.6.2. Very very weird that non-Apple browsers play the QT files without a problem but Apple's Safari cannot. I am sure it is a problem with the QT X plugin and Safari but have not found a solution yet. Waiting with baited breath for a fix in 10.6.3.
Yes sir it is. It doesn't crash nearly as often as it did in 10.6.1 or .0, but it never crashed in build 10A380. 10A411 is when the crashing started in Safari, at least for me.
Just wanted to point out, that considering 90% of the posts to this thread revolve around browsers and Flash... with a sprinkling of Preview and Quicktime.... it appears there's not as many people doing "serious work" as there is made out to be.
If the browser, movies, music, games, and Preview work... what more do ya want?

This is an incredibly common fault with SL. It is also fixed with just a few clicks.
For some reason machines which come with SL do not have a startup volume selected. This means that at boot time SL sits looking at all boot devices before selecting Macintosh HD.
To fix it: just go into prefs and set the boot drive.
Job done. SL boots up in just a few secs rather than minutes.
I hope it improves overall performance. Leopard was a lot snappier. I never had to restart it except for updates. SL gets very sluggish over the course of a couple days, requiring a reboot. Even if I quit all apps that doesn't fix the problem.

Agreed - the over all drop in performance has been noticeable.. and it does seem to chew resources more than 10.5.x
My main gripe is that since 10.6.x I actually get the Mac BSoD equivalent, forcing me to reboot without any ability to save docs etc. Looks to be VMWare/USB related (I run Fusion 3.x) but didn't happen in 10.5...
No specific problems with X.6.2; it's acceptably stable for home use. Memory indicator barrels are almost full in standard configurations (yep, we have to pay for GCD and for just 15 instructions being enough to fork a thread).
But, goodness, what a bunch of things they've dropped from the functionality! What a bunch of 3rd-party plugin makers they've pissed off! We'll never get it all back, I guess.

Thanks! Btw, Flash seems to crash on both 32-bit and 64-bit Safari. So I think Safari is irrelevant to Flash crashing here...

I hope the update addresses the problem of the dropping of the Wi-Fi signal many of us are experiencing since installing Snow Leopard. See these posts in the Apple discussions:

Yes! Please fix the flash crashes now!
Is it Safari that's suffering from these crashes?

The new iTablet may be just the answer.

Flash has been crashing in Safari for me as well, more so than usual.

I fixed the flash issues by using the Adobe Flash removal tool and reinstalled Flash. No more crashes.

Try this to fix your Flash issues. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
After this reinstall Flash. I did this and have not had a crash since.
