I was one of those who had problems with printing after the 10.6.8 update (and pdf's with the 10.6.7 update) but was able to restore functionality by replacing the four unix apps as mentioned in the article and had everything running properly again within a couple of hours.
I do think that Apple's QA on the last two releases has been below par - hopefully it's because they're putting so much effort into Lion instead, and Lion will work better because of it. (And I hope too, that they'll circle back to 10.6.8 to fix these nagging issues.)
On my three-day-old MBP 13.3, updating to 10.6.8 knocked my Zumodrive icon off my desktop, and the "Open Zumodrive" command on the menubar opens a folder (Zumodrive_501) in a greyed-out Volumes dir/folder ... strange ... anybody? Will post updates if anything changes ...
Replacing the AppleHDA.kext file actually made my audio problems worse. I had to revert the entire system to 10.6.7. While some OS X updates have had a problem or two, I can't remember any that compare to 10.6.8. It is absolutely the worst ever, bar none. Rather than encourage me that Apple is working hard on Lion, I get the message that Apple has lost touch with quality control altogether. I will definitely be waiting to upgrade to Lion till I see that all the bugs have been squashed, say by 10.7.2 or 3. Thank you ahead of time to the brave souls who will be troubleshooting the Lion for rest of us.
I'm a Mac consultant with a bit over 1400 clients. I've updated about 20 of them to 10.6.8 with no problems to report to date. Most of the problems reported seem to be with programs which change or modify kernel extensions or startup files - PGP or printer and scanner drivers, for instance. With thousands of these third party programs out there, you can't realistically test all of them, especially in various combinations like PGP Desktop and a HP scanner driver, for instance. So the fixes have to be after the problems manifest themselves in real live use.
What would I do without TidBITS! I recently ordered a Mac Mini because it will come with Snow Leopard installed instead of Lion. In doing so I will also be making the leap from Tiger. As a chronic late adopter I wanted to avoid Lion because it doesn't support Rosetta, something I learned from TidBITS. I'm not a power user and my PPC software serves me well. Now I know enough to watch for problems on 10.6.8 and have downloaded the combo updater as a precaution. Thanks TidBITS.
Glad to help. We heard from someone else who had just upgraded to 10.6.8 and was suffering badly from the Dock incompatibility with Parallels Desktop when the issue arrived - stories like this keep us going!
As others have stated, Oracle is only supporting Java 7 on Mac OS X 10.7 and above. The openjdk-osx-build project ( -osx-build/) was creating OpenJDK 7 builds for OS X 10.6, but has recently shuttered the operation.
If you have / will install Xcode 3.2.6 or 4.2 (4.2 requires a paid account or a little illegality, and I know it's a massive download), download the java 7 installer, extract the PKG from the DMG file, and open it in PackageMaker. Remove the version requirement string and rebuild the PKG file. It will now let you install Java 7!
The MsgFiler Engine is an Apple Mail Plugin that is an required add-on for MsgFiler 3 running on the latest versions of macOS. It speeds up mailbox loading and filing performance to remote IMAP mailboxes
I have submitted MsgFiler 3.0.1 to the Mac App Store. It features a number of bug fixes and performance improvements, such as MUCH faster loading and creation of mailboxes. Spell Catcher compatibility is there and fixed bugs related to the use of the MsgFiler Engine Mail Plugin. Stay tuned for when the app is available to update from the Mac App Store.
Hello. I just installed the bundle for Mojave. What is the keystroke for moving a selected Mail? In preferences it appears to be CMD+SHiFT M, but that keystroke is being used by Mail itself to open and close the mailboxes panel. Thanks.

Christian I have a mac pro 10.6.8 running on snow leopard and i bought a cheap canon printer (the LP6000B) as i just need to print some pages when I'm home time to time. I used the canon cd rom for installation but it did not work so I found a software on canon europe website (as I am in italy now) . I downloaded that software but the printer does not work. It does not print characters. I found an interesting page on internet which explains that there is a problem of protocol and suggests to go to finder -go to folders- then hidden folders but i found that procedure too complicated.

As hinted at earlier this week, Apple has now released Mac OS X 10.6.8, the eighth maintenance update for Snow Leopard, via Software Update. The update offers a number of fixes implemented since the release of Mac OS X 10.6.7 in late March.
The 10.6.8 update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac
Alternately, you should be able to accomplish the same task by downloading the OS X 10.6.7 Combo updater and extracting the included HDA kernel extension from there. To do this, download the updater in addition to the package management tool Pacifist, and follow these instructions:
Important notes: GraphicConverter 11 is a paid upgrade for all customers of version 1.x-10.x. You can order the upgrade at the order page.Customers who bought the app from the Mac App Store have to download and install any updates from within the Mac App Store. Updates maybe delayed in the Mac App Store due the Apple review process.
Hello, I am running into an issue with a pc we have in our studio that I am trying to connect to using Microsoft Remote Desktop app on a Mac. (Mac OS 11.4; MRD v10.6.7; (1896) Windows 10 pro 2004 19041.1052) I am using Remote Desktop to connect to a pc from my MacBook Pro, both in the studio and from home, using a Azure AD login credentials. I am able to establish a connection using the Azure AD email address and password, however, once the pc window is showing on my Mac, I am stuck at the login window. The message on the screen is "The user name or password is incorrect, try again" If i re enter the Azure e-mail address and password again i get the same message. If i use the local/username id and password, i get a message saying that i cannot use that id and to enter my school or work e-mail instead. I have ran through as many articles as i could find on how to allow RDP settings and even edited the RDC text file to include enablecredsspsupport:i:0. I am able to make a connection using a 3rd party Remote Desktop application called JumpDesktop, however, I really want to set this up using MDC so other users in my studio can connect to the computer and I don't need to buy a ton of licenses for the 3rd party app to allow it. Any thoughts on why I am getting stoped at the login screen even though I am entering valid credentials would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard": The boxed retail Snow Leopard ships on a dual-layer DVD like Leopard did, and it too is chokka-block. You'd think going Intel-only would free up a lot of space on the disc, but no, they've filled the once-free-space with even more extras, including the PowerPC emulator, Rosetta - including the hidden Boot Camp partition, it all adds up to a very full 7.82 GB. There are two releases, 10.6.0 and 10.6.3 (in fact, Apple still sell the 10.6.3 DVD through the Store) with the latter release squeezing in even tighter, but if I cherry-pick the installer packages for a default OS install, it comes to 2.31 GB.
This may be useful to some. Older versions of macOS can be downloaded from the App Store. As of this writting you can get older versions of macOS going back to 10.13 High Sierra. App Store searches will only find the current shipping versions of macOS. For older versions you will need to know the direct App Store link. This article explains how to get it: 2ff7e9595c
