RE: OS X 10.6.3 Update
Thanks for the update Ronni. Is there any mention of the resolution of the Magic Mouse battery consumption issue which I noted as reported quite widely in a recent issue of Mac Format. Maybe it is embedded in an associated release article for 10.6.3. Regards Peter..

Re: OS X 10.6.3 Update
Hi Peter, Haven't heard about Magic Mouse battery consumption issue fix. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4014 DON'T FORGET: 1. Backup your system BEFORE installing the Update. 2. Repair Permissions before and after installing the Update. 3. Run Software Update before and After installing the Updates - * Reliability is improved in many areas: photo screen savers, printing, some third-party USB devices, wireless connections, QuickTime X, sleeping and waking when connected to 2.4 GHz wireless networks, iDisk Sync and syncing calendars via MobileMe, and more. * A problem with Time Machine backups using an AirPort connection has been fixed. * Time Machine backups to a Time Capsule, including multiple computers, are more reliable. * A few problems when saving or handling files with an SMB server volume have been resolved. * A new crash-reporting option has been added. The preferences in the Console application now offer an option to Automatically send anonymous diagnostic and usage data to Apple. In previous versions of Mac OS X, if a crash happened, the system would prompt you to send that data. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4063 * The annoying Preview bug Adam wrote about in Two-Line URLs Broken in Snow Leopard's Preview (10 September 2009) is finally fixed. The update also includes dozens of security fixes that tackle problems with maliciously crafted files, messages, and Web sites, as well as updating MySQL to 5.0.88, PHP to 5.3.1 (or 5.2.12 under Mac OS X 10.5.8), Ruby on Rails to version 2.3.5, and various other components to newer versions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4077 Cheers, Ronni On 30/03/2010, at 10:59 AM, Crisp, Peter wrote: Thanks for the update Ronni.

Re: OS X 10.6.3 Update
I forgot to mention that after installing OS X 10.6.3 and the computer restarts, iCal launches and Upgrading iCal Calendars. DON'T stop it doing this, let it complete the updating of your iCal Calendars. Apple warning for installing Updates: Do not interrupt the installation process once you have started to update your system.
