does anyone know if this update enables blu ray support? i have an external blu ray player/burner, and tried it, but i still can't make it work...
any tips?

Yep, hangs on my imac as well. Gets to configuring system and then hangs forever. I have to power down and restart and still does not work. Will old off on upgrade for now, although it appears that my USB ports have been disabled for some reason. Darn the darn.

Works good for me. I did it with the software update utility. But I also downloaded the 10.5.6 combo update from the apple site, so If (or should I say when) I reinstall OS X, then I can just run that, and I wont need to wait for all of the previous updated to download to get up to date. Since my mac came with 10.5.2 there have been a lot of updates, so it will be good to have that combo update that I can just run and get my system back to current.

I think this update is great so far. The only bug that I have noticed that has not been fixed is the Airport connection.

estumpges: You can still use the multi-touch to zoom in finder it's a new option under the finder's preferences! under the advanced tab "zoom using trackpad" Thats pretty major!

Shhh... you're not supposed to tell. Thats why Apple didn't announce the Blu Ray stuff - it's going to be a super secret Christmas surprise. ;-)

Well -- are you surprised, huh, huh?

You could just re-load your hard drive's clone image you made just prior to installing the update and then research the issue. You DID make a backup, didn't you? Of course you did...

I always wait a few days before upgrading. I like to watch the discussion forums to see if anyone is having any serious issues. Even then, I'll clone the drive with SuperDuper. I'm just saying...

Thanks to everybody who suggested and linked to downloading the upgrade directly from Apple.
Worked like a charm.
Appreciate it!

I'm using a new aluminium MacBook and I updated using Software Update just now. Did not have any problems.
The update included both 10.5.6 and a SMC firmware update. Computer restarted twice and then asked for a new restart in order to install firmware update.
No problems whatsoever. thumbs up

Sounds like it didn't then.

You need to buy Toast 9 for blu-ray data discs.
The Mac will never play blu-ray movies until the OS, graphic card, and monitor are HDCP complaint.

There may be hope, since the new unibody MacBook's appear to be HDCP compliant, since they won't play HD content using an analog monitor. Nobody has said if the new 24" LED Display is HDCP compliant yet.

So Apple releases an update to fix printing issues in Photoshop CS3 ... about a month after the release of CS4?

Better late than never, I suppose ...

Very disappointed that this update didn't include support for Canon G10, 5D Mark II raw file format. Adobe already did that so what is holding it? Are there not enough people complaining?

I just watched part of an HD TV show from iTunes (definitely higher quality than the non-HD shows), so it must be HDCP compliant.
