Tell Apple What You Want in Mac OS X 10.6.3

Apple needs to improve iTunes !

iTunes is no longer just a tunes player, it's a movie player, a podcasts reader, an audiobooks reader, an iPhone/iPod apps shelf AND a store !

The problem is that now it's quite a heavy software and when you just want to play a song or watch a video podcast or else, you have to literally load ALL THE OTHER CONTENTS even if you don't want to use them !

I think it's time iTunes gets split in a few complementary programs, like the iLife suite.
One for the tunes, audio books and audio podcasts,
one for the videos, video podcasts and movies and tv series,
one for the iPhone/iPod stuff,
and finally : an iTunes Store part, common to all the programs, that you could access by enabling it when you want to use it, wether you are on a program or another.

What do you folks think ?

faster finder !
no more self ip address assigned!
Mail app supports hotmail
better dictionary - thesaurus, sentence examples, voice

Dufinetely those issues with graphics (lagging top sites and mixed image of top sites) must be solved/

The ability to keep app's to the front, in the same way Afloat does, but make it system wide to include individual Finder Windows. Linux has had this feature for many years. There is no reason it shouldn't be native on OS X.

I hope that OS X 10.6.3 will fix the screen flickering problem that is plaguing the new 27" iMacs.

I would like TextEdit to open in the center of the screen

I would like apple to improve the stability of snow leopard because ever since i installed 10.6.2 on my macbook it's been sluggish and unstable. I had installed 10.6.2 on my macbook and about a month after this it crashed, i then reinstalled osx and a month later it crashed again! My mac still feels unstable and apps like safari, imovie, iphoto, etc crash about 70% of the time. I switched from windows to osx to get away from these problems but it seems they have followed me to apple, so i truly ask is apple really that great? I previously had tiger installed and that had crashed as well and it also felt unstable and the preloaded mac apps were crashing too but not as much as snow leopard. I'm not sure if i just have bad luck with computers having crashed the windows os and osx numerous amounts of times. So in my opinion i just hope Apple could make osx a tad more stable because i feel that if osx crashes and windows crashes you might as well use windows because there is alot more applications designed for it. I am an apple fan but i am slowly moving away from apple back to windows because of all the problems I've had with osx. So please Apple help me out here and make osx more stable.

Yes! My MBA is so slow under OS 10.6.2 that I run Windows 7 on it! And it's great! I'm considering a windows box for my next computer.

native .mkv file container support in quicktime
native ntfs writing support without using macfuse and ntfs3g
native .rar compressed archive support
Mail again compatible with Exchange 2003 server using MAPI or OWA protocol as my loved iphone :D
New gestures for the magic mouse (like the expose one on mbp pad)

just for dreaming:
Active directory integration as in ubuntu 9.10 with Active Directory membership extension
BluRay support (for watching movies)
An official utility for file recovery
Free mobileme extremely basic account
MSN and Skype support in iChat

Regarding NTFS. Snow Leopard can read and write but you have to enable it. Here’s a link on how to do it:

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382

Browsers on a Mac will not allow batch printing! This means web based business applications that print statements or invoices must be repetitively responded to.
I tell my clients they MUST use our web based application on a PC. How unfortunate for us all...

I would like to be able to move files, not only to copy them in the finder.

Like mr/mrs/ms Henning I would also very much like to move/migrate files (e.g. imported homevideo) with a one-click option to another location and/or storage device. It happens to me numerous times after importing my videostuff from my videocam they landed on mu built-in drive instead of on my FW-connected external drive...

try Some modifiers its perfectly easy to move and copy using the alt key and clicking and dragging also alt+cmd makes aliases.

some folders/files dont let you do this because they are needed for the system to run otherwise it works.

I think they should include a marble theme to match iTunes 9.

I want a streamlined, simple media player. iTunes is too big and cumbersome now and takes a lot of memory. I don't download any movies, LPs or podcasts from iTunes, I should have the option to not install those features.

Also, I would like to adjust the size of the icons when I activate stacks in grid view. They're too large and I was wondering if they can bring that nifty little slider that changes the size of the icons from the Finder over to the stacks interface, that would be awesome!

Oh and one more tiny thing with stacks. When I open and drill down into folders in grid view, I want the folder to open in the place of the cursor, so I don't have to move back down to the dock.

That's all I want Apple!! Please!!! xD

A fresh copy of a genuine Windows 7 Ultimate, lol.

Fix the trackpad sensitivity problems on MacBook Pro, or give users a way to adjust the sensitivity. In my case the trackpad is not sensitive enough, and sometimes I have to actually click the trackpad instead of just tapping it to select or move the cursor, etc.

Please fix up Time Machine, Has never worked even after following numerous suggestions across multiple forums (including Apples), and a fresh re-install...

I would like for there to be a sort of comparing feature like the side snap of windows 7

I think Apple should fix some bugs that will lead to the crash of Safari. Besides, Safari takes so much real memory, sometimes even more than 600M.

Just install Chrome.

On my wishlist would be better suport for 3G modems, and quicker networking interfaces generally.

Mail needs to be more accommodating to plug-ins so I don't need to update every release or deal with that infuriating "incompatible plug-ins disabled" pop-up

Mini DisplayPort to support audio for better compatibility with HDMI.

Blutooth sometimes won't turn on after waking from sleep (macbook pro). Putting computer to sleep and waking it again solves this.

New Wi-fi icon animation keeps showing after turning airport to off (for like 10-20sec)

Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm 500 GB still sux. Clicks, Beeps, Noise, Lags -> I suscpect it's responsible for complete system lockdown (some times)

Better RAM managment. No free memory all the time (4GB). I suspect 3rd party apps in this

Animation is laggy when opening folders from desktop

My white macbook when woken up from sleep will often say I have low battery when I in fact have 40 minutes left once the battery menu icon loads

What I would like change is the playlisting in the ipod shuffle with voiceover, for example when you listen to let's say robbie williams, R in the alphabet, in order to go the next playlist you have to go right back to the start, A,B,C etc to get the next playlist after robbie williams.

Tapping support on the mousepad in windows while using Boot Camp as it works for VMWare.
I wish they could do that.

improve the chinese chajei input method. first of all, the little word choose windows always disappear, whatever in TextEdit, Browser etc.. Though hand writing are pretty good, chajei more efficiency. seems OSX 10.4 more humanity than 10.6.

besides, i never cannot connect my mac to network printer, like printer connect to a router or sharing on the inter network. i know its becoz of the difference of communication between PC/mac, couldn't it be easier?

My external hard drive is getting ejected at random after I plugged it into a SL computer. Other people are having the same problem. Now I have to get a new hard drive that SL doesn't give this problem to. Please fix.

- being able to save defaults so new Finder windows do not open with toolbar and sidebar by default (rather annoying feature which only clutters the desktop).

- being able to OPEN applications using keyboard shortcuts (System Preferences). Currently we can only use this feature for shortcuts over menu items for the applications (but then we need to open them first to use them, don't we? doh...)

- also to have keyboard shortcuts for menu items which change name (like Expand and Compress for example). currently if the menu item name is not identical it does not work.

- facility to add iCal reminders even if application is closed (some third party utilities can do this, so why apple can't give us one?)

- yes split annoying bloated iTunes, let's remind Apple that is called iTunes not iEntertainmentSystem, just let us play the frigging music.

- give us back the good old Quicktime (the new version sucks big time and does not have a Pro. i hate how the menubar and controller clutters the screen and can't let us watch the movie unless we put the cursor outside the window, it's moronic! we like using the keyboard too you know...).

- multiple docks

- give us back the facility to download Software Updates without having to go to the website to do so (which BTW does not work outside USA!!!). Some of us have multiple macs and like to download the update ONCE for all of them. Why did they take this facility out in the first place? its so thoughtless...

- Services on Finder floating menu (w control key) do not work as they did before 10.6, ie: i cannot use it to click on a file and add it as attachment on an email, although I can still do this with the Services menu. so why are they different now?

- stop slowing the entire machine if the internet access is not good, slows or drops down. new system is too internet dependent. grrrrr.

more later...

- Front Row in 10.6 takes FOREVER to open MPEG2 movies (that is if it finally gets to open them without crashing). Fix it Apple, you sold us your MPEG2 compressor, the least you can do is keep supporting it.

- Finder crashes and rearranges my desktop icons. Stop it and ensure my icons are left where I carefully put them on my one time, you have no right to rearrange them Apple, just cause u have a buggy software (which I paid for !).

i am sure i have some more, somewhere..

Hackintosh netbook support restored.

How do you say this "neat and clean?

Apple's Mail is a great program, but over time it gets bloated with content. Mail messages are accumulating data that need to be more like data than messages for archival and research manipulation in the long run.

We need the ability to download the content, say as an ASCI II type file such that mailbox, submailbox, etc. content remains grouped and in order so one can archive content into a database for long term storage, access and manipulation and keep Mail relatively lean over time.

An alternate would be to have several Mail "collections" that you could open as selected within Mail, just as you select a collection of information in Excell. One could then move all messages for 2002 into a "2002" collection that would be archived (and run only when a past document is needed). It would be OK if only one such "collection" could run at one time, but even better if two could.

I would like to see the ability to move messages back and forth by selecting groups of emails or whole mailbox contents, selecting "move" or "export" from the menu and deposit it either on the desktop, in a folder, or in another collection.

We need driver support for anydata adu-510l modem. I'm using windows installed with bootcamp because of that. Thx Apple

I think they should improve Front Row, when you scroll quickly through the list it looks wierd, and it can't play .avi files it only plays the sound.

Fix idisk synching, please.

1) Every time I open up Finder and go to Applications, it has to refresh the icons and it also does the same thing when I use the 'Open with' command menu. Even the quick preview icons for media files is always being rebuilt and they are never cached and this does affect my battery usage. Please find a way to fix this.

2) AS for Safari, I think it's making my MacBook Pro (2007) run hotter at it's using quite a lot of CPU cycles and RAM. This is increasing the swap file whenever I browse with like 25 tabs open.

3) I think Snow Leopard has made my MacBook Pro (2007) run even hotter but I have no idea why. Please do look into this. We could use someway to clean the memory if we feel that some of the inactive RAM can be recovered and a way to alter the priority of CPU cycles for individual programs in Activity Monitor.

4) iTunes constantly has to refresh its icons and library, and it takes time. Try to fix this.

Any other optimizations to improve the performance and power efficiency would be greatly appreciated.

Please provide support for Exchange 2003 for iCal and Address Book, Entourage 2008 is making me loss the will to live!

ExFAT Support Read & Write!

Please.... please.... let me use the DNS of my choice on OS X.

Still need Classic Mode

(and After Dark)

:)

(yeah, and a double density floppy for my SE)

what OSX needs is some goddamn TRIM support...

Defenitly I totally agree with you. Apple needs to activate the already prepared TRIM command. More and more users are switching to SSDs because they are just perfect for notebooks. Windows 7 already supports TRIM!

Snow Leopard randomly reboots at least once a day regardless of what you are doing. A couple of days ago I was just browsing the System Preferences without any app running and my Mac (a refurbished 2008 3.2GHz octo) rebooted. You don't have the opportunity to save anything.

Having spent hours trawling message boards and tech-sites, I have undertaken numerous "fixes" ranging from resetting PRAM / SMC to a full reinstallation of Snow Leopard. However, I'm now convinced that this has nothing to do with software, peripherals, Mac model or hardware. I think it's a power management system problem that needs to be fixed by Apple.

The machine has gone through all the hardware checks it could (even very low level checks) and reported no issues at all. I just reinstalled SL + 10.6.2 and a copy of Windows XP Professional in a Boot Camp partition (which has NEVER crashed yet) and I'll wait Apple to do something good about this mess.

Please add native, built-in support for writing to Windows NTFS file system.
Macs have always been able to read and write to FAT file system, and since NTFS has been the primary native file system for Windows since XP days, it is time for Mac to be able to Write to that as well as read NTFS.
(I work on both Macs and PCs, and the ability to write from Mac to my NTFS disks would be SUPER!)

- Add five finger multi touch for Spaces. Moving five fingers to the right moves you to the next Space, moving five fingers to the left goes one space back, moving five fingers down brings you from Space 1 to Space 3 or from Space 2 to Space 4, placing 5 fingers on the Trackpas without moving them opens Spaces so you can drag and drop windows from one Space to another.

- An easy way to show hidden files, like in Nautilus (a file browser for Linux). In Nautilus you can click on "View" and then select "Show Hidden Files" or you can just press Ctrl + H.

- An option to disable the Trash Bin or at least a shortcut to delete files immediatley, like Shift + Delete in Linux and Windows.

I had much more ideas, but I forgot them.

Now I remember one of the ideas:
- Add three finger swipe gesture to System Preferences. I use this gesture to go back and forth in Safari and Finder, but in System Preferences this gesture doesn't work and you have to click the arrow buttons at the top left of the window.

Apple could fix the ability to tether my CDMA phone so it works the same as it did with 10.4.x or 10.5.x or that it would just work.

I would really like Apple to fix the ongoing pixelated / blurry icon issue that has plagued some users since its release ... there seems to be enough complaints about it at the Apple discussion forum that it warranted several sites recently (like MacFixit) to run articles about it.

You can see the Apple discussion forum about it at:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2132399

or

MacFixit article at:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10402811-263.html

Add more choices to Appearance than just Blue and Graphite.

Reiterating #15 - Daniel Johnson. I also think apple should incorporate the auto resizing and side-snapping of program windows which W7 has incorporated. I find it handy on a day to day basis at work - but come home to the heavy click and drag resize method.

Ability to mount read/write FTP and SFTP shares through finder.

I hope Apple will implement Blu-Ray features in it's new update, because there's no reason at this time for not to do that. Windows already has.

Finder + FTP read and WRITE.

Currently Finder FTP can only read.

Since I installed SL, I have been having problems with the trackpad: the 3-fingers and 4-fingers gestures would stop working. I tried disabling/enabling them from System Preferences but with no luck.
I have to specify that this problem is random, which is most irritating, because it can disappear when I restart my computer, turn it on again etc., or it can persist even after a shutdown, restart etc.

Fix OpenCL issues for running Apple OpenCL FFT library at full speed!
Also provide OpenGL 3.0,3.1,3.2 ..
AMD 5850 graphics cards drivers!
for that see readme.txt from apple.devel

I very hope on Extended FAT File System support (exFAT) in Snow Leopard 10.6.3

PLEASE fix the screen flicker plaguing MBP late 2008 version.... I have just about run out of patience now... and thinking of going back to PCs.... :o(

agree with Viktor.

Besides, with my CS4 & the newest 10.6 updated, i find my macbook pro 13" hang often. it s not unexpected quit or over heat. it s totally freeze, i gotta hot reset the macbook by press the power button. is it CS4 problem? abt the mac OS update? or only problem of my macbook?

Wireless media server integrated in OSX in order to play music and movies on a home theater (just like WMS)

What needs to be fixed in 10.6.3:
BS (Before Script): I could be thinking about 10.7 with all of my big ideas.

(If I copy an idea, that is good, that means I have total consensus with you)
- S T A B I L I T Y
- iTunes does need to be broken up. Choose what components to install
- LIGHTWEIGHT (RAM wise) Safari
-Automatic hardware and 3rd party software update notifications (without HASSLE)
-Rosetta is used by MANY older apps, installing Rosetta installs the (at least) 7gbs of HD space
- Snap to compare feature like Windows7
-More appearance choices rather than blue and graphite
-BLUETOOTH didn't detect my dad's LG DARE (both in discovery mode)
- A P P L I C A T I O N C O M P A T I B I L I T Y
- Faster iTunes loading times
- Faster iPhoto loading times
- Optional security suite. I like having an option of secondary defenses. Like MS SecurityEssentials
-Disk performance tuners (Disk Cleanup, Disk Defrag, PRAM, NVRAM, SMC reset)
- Email message exports
- MPEG2 C O M P A T I B I L I T Y
- Mail plugin compatibility
- BLURAY C O M P A T I B I L I T Y
- TextEdit opens in the center, that would be helpful
- Better iMovie 06 to iDVD 08 exports. iDVD crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME. DO NOT TELL ME TO GO TO 09. OVERPRICED! BESIDES 09 IS DESIGNED FOR CAMCORDERS, NOT STILLS/SLIDESHOWS.
- Better Bootup procedures. QUICK (like 10s per scan) file structure scan, safety, and performance.
- Complimentary ME.com email for paying for so many overpriced items. I mean, seriously, a power cord for a Powerbook G4 being SEVENTY FIVE TO EIGHTY DOLLARS. Ripoff!

More as I come up with it!

Hey Apple,

It's 2009 and your Next Generation Operating System can no longer handle ETHERNET.

FIX IT NOW!

enable segemnted rar file joining.

i tried 2 apps and they didn't work. on the pc it works fine. a simple but needed fix.

and include exfat read write support.

include a mini previous and next and pause ply button for itunes in the menubar that is accessable no matter what app is on top.

bult in online disk that works and doesn't crash or stall or never mount.

rar file joining though is what i want most

if you drag and drop a file or folder while holding down the cmd () key, it will move it instead of creating a copy

Dear Apple,
i read an article on softpedia.com titled "what do you need in mac os 10.6.3?" the idea seemed very cool, and that's why i wrote this:

there are some tiny little stuff that windows has, and mac still doesn't support them!
:( so, since they are good stuff, i'd like them to be on mac os too.
i know that it's microsoft who always steals great ideas from apple (as it happened in windows vista), BUT wouldn't it be nice if mac os had some windows VERY HANDY features too?
judge yourself...

here they are:

1) resizing windows is only possible from one angle in mac os. but in windows we can resize windows within every four angle of the window.

2) suppose i have a folder named "Folder1" and it's placed on my desktop.
suppose i have another folder with different stuff in it in my documents that has the same name of the 1st folder. if i wanna move folder1 from desktop to my documents folder, it asks if i wanna replace the old folder with the new one. and if i accept, all the contents of the other folder gets lost!
i guess a better solution would be to MERGE the folders; not to REPLACE the new one with the old one. or at least giving the option of what to do, wouldn't hurt! options like: replace, merge, rename, stop (cancel)

3) cut, copy, paste! these are really the very basics for an operating system. we can't do these for files/folders in mac os with the famous shortcut keys and the shortcut keys are limited to text only! but in windows, it's possible.

4) when copying a folder with lots of files, it would be kinda better if in the copying panel, it shows what file is being copied right now.

5) apple has recently added a feature for the trash. PUT BACK! actually it doesn't work for EVERYTHING. it would be MUCH better if could work for folders or any sort of file.

6) microsoft has added a feature in windows 7, which really comes handy!
when a window is selected, if you hold the windows button and press an arrow key, depends on what arrow key you've pressed, some amazing stuff will happen.
like: windows+ left arrow:
the selected window will be resized and fill left half of the screen.
(similar for windows+right arrow)
windows+ up arrow: will maximize the window.

i may feel the need for these features; because i've been a windows user my whole life. and i've been just using mac for like less than a month. but i don't think that anyone would disagree that how handy these features can be! and these are THE ONLY features i think mac os lacks of! i have used mac os for less than a month. and i can FEEL how great and complete this operating system is. (also easy to use.) but these features make working with the os just faster!
and that's why i wrote this. to tell apple how much we, customers care to make the greatest operating system (mac os) greastester!

Sincerely, Milad Ghattavi.

1. Try Zooom2 personally i dont like the idea of multiple corner window resizing and i would prefer not having it

2.good point it would be nice

3. you can with modifiers and dragging and dropping.

command+drag = move
option+drag=copy
option=command+drag=make alias(shortcut)

4. hmmm i guess it would give you more information but not sure how exactly it would be useful. i personally at least don't really halt files when moving them. And i know which files i am moving caus i have just selected them.

(I would however like an option for check box selection like in windows it makes selecting a load of files less of an ordeal and makes you less likely to accidentally deselect all of them out of a momentary lapse in concentration.)

5) i second this, it is a very useful feature that has had its balls chopped off for some reason.

6) there are programs that do this allready one i have noticed it in is bettertouchtool...which if you are using a magic mouse or multitouch pad i cant recommend enough its a great new app that works alot like multilutch did but with all the things you ever wanted multiclutch to have...and although in beta has been nthing but stable for me so far.

Bring back Quicktime 200% view (command + 2) and the way the QT window centers itself on the screen after coming from full screen view back to 100% or 200%.

Finder needs everything mentioned in these suggestions and more.

Native, stable, reliable NTFS read/write support.

Bring back the download software only feature of Software Update.

1. Right click on file should bring up an option to send a file to a particular destination.
2. Tabbed Finder with ability to split screen to show two folder and file lists. Would make file navigation and manipulation so much easier.
3. Right click to create new blank documents. This would be a huge improvement for creating, e.g., simple text files, etc.
4. Fix the Finder's crazy, unpredictable ability to show Windows PC's on my network under Shared in the side panel. Sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't. Nothing changes other than their random appearance. Why should I be forced to resort to Cmd-K and find the PC by IP address, when 50% of the time the PC shows up just fine in the Finder? Maddening and it's been going on since before Leopard.
5. Ditto resizing windows by more than just the grab section in the lower right corner. What is wrong with allowing us to resize from any side or corner?

Fix the damn battery! Since upgrading to SL my battery life is less than half what it was, and it dies before going into sleep.

I'd like a "send to" option when right clicking on files - to send files to USB drives, or predifined folders. Only thing I miss from windows, oh yeah and the move function.

please, please, please....fix the network account server/active directory binding issues. what a nightmare! users can't log in in the morning and standard users loose functionality once the red dot shows up. its a support nightmare.

A feature I'd highly like to see in Safari is a sidebar bookmark manager. I mostly use Firefox for that feature and would ONLY use Safari if it had it.

Dear Apple,
I recently switch to Mac less than a month ago and although I love the OS as a software support engineer who supports my company's software on Windows, UNIX & iSeries for many years, in many ways it feels as if I have moved backwards in some areas of functionality.

1) Cut, copy, move & paste of files and folders is a very basic OS feature that has been a part of a Windows for more than a decade. On what are you waiting to add these abilities to the Mac OS?

2) The ability to perform multiple(append) writes to a DVD-R and DVD+R - Another feature that I use in Windows XP everyday.

3) 'Put Back' need to work for every type of object every time.

4) Putting a file or folder in the 'Trash' should not locked it.

5) Time Machine preferences should allow me to set the frequency and type of backups taken.

6) Ability to edit 'Favorite Places" when downloading files.
.
Finally a hardy "I second" to all of the suggestions given by all contributors.

people, fix Java, one cannot even run cisco SDM since 10.6.
Also, next time you release something, TEST it first! Stuffing up write access to NTFS shared folders and denying it is apple's bug, that is just a stunner.
Apple is becomming another microsoft...

new OS makes your MacBook pro cook to death runnig 1 java application... @%^%%$#$

Snow Leopard really needs to get exFAT (FAT64) support, or at least some file system that will be friendly to large capacity storage devices with limited write cycles.

Apple should urgently fix the problems with Quartz Express.
Reportedly the sluggish performance of complex compositions which do run smooth in Leopard.
This is very important for creative artists and researchers alike around the world.
As im on Tiger and have bought a S L disk im waiting it out till it gets fixed.

- Font Book Preference for Default Installation Location to LEAVE the fonts on the SAME FOLDER as they CURRENTLY ARE. You see since using ATM on Classic System 7, I have a Fonts Folder with all my fonts (1.02 Gb of them), all carefully catalogued by Brand and Name. I resist to shove them all into one single Fonts folder inside a System Library folders as Apple wants me to do. But then, just for fun, once I tried doing it and Font Book seriously spit the dummy and died forever. I had to do a painful restore before I could get Font Book to work again. Any other font manager can do it, so I bet you could to, Apple, if you try a bit harder.

Apple, please improve the stability of 10.6.2 on my brand new iMac I7, or at least improve the logging and error reporting so Apple Support can diagnose why it freezes so often compared to my "other" PCs running Vista and Win7 (they do not crash at all for me).

I would like to see a better and accurate finder/network responses in showing windows or other OS networked computers.

Allow removal or turn off of ALL the little boxes asking " are you sure you want to do what you just asked to do?" This is fine the first few times but if in normal life everybody questioned my every request I'd be punching before long.

Better nfsv4 support.
Apple Remote worked for all apps in Leopard unlike SL.

being able to copy/paste in NOTES widget

being able to press N when not wanting to save documents written in text editor when asking to save the document.

pressing TAB would be nice too.. to change the active button

the problem with iCal should be solved.
there are lots of people who have this problem that their iCal has been stuck on date 17th og July!
if iCal opens, it shows the correct date, but if closed, it shows the wrong date again!

3 finger gesture in iTunes for next song and previous song!

multiclutch for leopard

better touch tool for snowleopard

you can do that and more

i have so many custom multitouch things setup for example in firefox and stumble button 5 finger tap stumbles or just holding fn and 4 finger tapping bring finder to focus or opens a new finder window lots of other

lots of new multi touch gestures in btt that osx doesnt nativly support :D install and enjoy

(sorry for the repost can someone delete the one that isnt a reply please)

Apple needs to jump on the Bluray wagon.

fix the 10810 Finder crash issue. By the number of hits on the two threads on Apple's own forum, less a percentage for multiple access, there are probably at least 50,000 SL users with this issue. It means on an affected machine, you cannot leave an external or network storage device connected or Finder will crash. Every time someone gets through to a T3 genius, they claim to have no knowledge of the problem. This is either head in sand or a cover up as they have no idea how to cure it. On my affected iMac, I am considering going back to Leopard. My Macbook Pro with apparently identical set up is not affected.

Wilson

Please let the mac clients sync the mobile accounts (LDAP) at login with the server after waking up the client. At the moment a restart is required to make it sync at login.

Fix the Audio problem in Mac Pro 2009 version! Any audio uses a lot of electric power in the CPU and makes a lot of heat! iTunes is nearly unusable!

Make drivers for ATI Radeon cards. Please!!!!

ADD TRIM SUPPORT!!!!

in 10.6.3 I would like you to fix the headphone jack problem, I would hook in my headphones and it will not remember the settings I had when I had them out.. which is why I went back to 10.6.1 it fixed the problem.. I use skype alot, when I have them in it will make my headphones loud.. I know you can turn it down but I feel no need for that

It doesn't have to be as good and fast as Leopard was, just please fix my computer freezing and requiring a hard reboot so that I can use it normally. Please don't make me go back to my 512MB RAM PC. That would suck if a 5 year old PC would do things better than my brand new amazingly fast MacBook Pro. It's the case at the moment.

Please fix the kernel panic when an external drive is connected and we try to search on spotlight !

This comment is about Mac OS X Server.

First the flowers: the price has been lowered, it provides "unlimited" users and comes bundled with an inexpensive Mac Mini, great move Apple.

Then, the pot: A server environment should come with remote access mechanisms, not only for a single sysadmin's operation but also for the unlimited users they claim the OS is meant to. This is nonsense companies like Aqua Connect and CodeRebel charge hundreds of dollars per user to provide Mac OS Server the missing remote desktop function. This is not exactly what I think an unlimited users server should be. On remote desktops, Apple is way behind Microsoft, are they afraid many users on the same Mac could affect hardware sales?

1- Put an equalizer in Itune, otherwise it is worthless software to my.

2- When we create new "Burn Folder" and drag things into it...
they appearing as a shortcut ??? However, WHO want actually to burn shortcut ???

We want to burn real things we put into it !
I KNOW WE CAN ALSO HIT "ALT" TO DO SO, BUT IT BORING ME ???

Trick: do not use this folder, just create another one without the (.fpbf) solve the problem...

However, I still don't understanding the point of the shortcut in such directory ???????

3- Bug in Safari, divx dosen't work on webplayers !

Thank you !

Safari bug ?

When trying to resize using the (+) green symbol, it never kept back the latest dimension
and/or full screen.

support for atom proccessor.

you're earing loads of money from hackintoshing netbooks (installing retail snow leopard on ultra-low cost pcs) $200 per user

either bring out a 10" or 11" netbook or make us make hacked versions of mac which will lose you money

I would just like apple to fix the issue regarding 4 and 3 finger gestures. Occasionally when I boot up 4 finger expose and 3 finger swipe simply do not work. A simple reboot resolves this; however the problem comes back.

Many people have encountered this issue. 10.6.2 was supposed to resolve this but didnt.

I would love for the update to do, what windows 7 did, and that's let us have a free download of either Mac OS 9, or 10.4, that way incase there are some programs that only work with those operating systems, it would let us run them. It could be a virtual machine. Windows 7 professional, enterprise, and ultimate has it where you can download Windows XP for free, and run it in a virtual program for free. Snow leopard, or at least the next Mac OS X should let us do that. I would also love for an update where when we put our mouse cursor over a program, it will show us a little window preview of the program if it is open. For instance, if Safari is open, and you have something else running in front of it, like iTunes, then you should be able to put the mouse cursor over safari, and see a small window preview of what pages are open. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have that feature. I think that would be a great feature for the Mac.

What about adding OpenGL 3.2 to Snow Leopard? Isn't it ready? In Snow Leopard 10.6.3, I would think they would update to OpenGL 3.2 since it's been released and all, right? Why isn't this possible, and when will Apple do it?

Lol

Safari 4 doesn't play the QuickTme player embeded streamer on web pages
All other browser support it, but not the same company the built the browser and the player ???? ;-)..

1. Full support for OpenGL ie. 3.2 drivers.

2. Allow Quicktime X to open more file types ie. .MKV,

3. hardware decode of MP4 for more graphics cards.

4. Fix the graphics glitches that sometimes occur in Finder.

5. "middle click" for magic mouse.

6. NTFS support.

7. Better File sharing and network support (currently very slow connecting to snow-leopard computers)
and a more reliable way to share external hard-drives. (they don't always show up).

8. Better support for windows media files (I know this is a Microsoft issue, but something needs to be done about it)

I'd like to see Adobe Photoshop CS2 work like it worked with Mac OS X 10.4.11 right now it won't work with Snow Leopard...

1. Full support for OpenGL
2. NTFS support
3. Improved compatibility for programs that worked flawlessly on Leopard and now have a crash fest on Snow Leopard.

All I want is my system to be stable again. Not cool when your surrounded by windows users who see a spinning circle on your screen every time they look.

Leopard was amazing... Snow Leopard, not really what I expected as it doesn't seem to be as stable as leopard was which doesn't make any sense.

I think apple should overhaul the Mail and Calendar apps and merge them into a single application similar to Microsoft's Outlook. The mail app currently provided my Apple is a vintage and not very productive to use. Apple if it wants to can really come up with a killer mail app that blows the competition away!!

UnRarX has yet to fail me.

This is more 10.7, but who cares.

- For the love of God, fix iTunes. I'd PAY to have a fast, streamlined reliable iTunes.
- NTFS support system wide
- Could we not have it so that after downloading large files the Airport driver doesn't crash and then Kernal Panic my Mac?
- Blu Ray
- Multiple Gestures on the Magic Mouse, if third party apps can do it, why not Apple?
- Laggy desktop folders opening.
- Fix the retarded Finder. Snap To Grid, means that if I delete a folder the rest all fall back into line, not leave an ugly hole where I deleted it. Also, when I resize a window, move my folders out of the way, not keep them in exactly the same place so that I have to do some weird scrolling in order to find my out of the way folders.
- Fix the enlarge button.

Snow Leopard lacks of full compatibility support for many imaging devices.

Although the first two update packages fixed a lot of known issues, this problem continues to persist.

I've an old Agfa Snapscan 1236u I've had purchased 9 years ago and I'm very happy with. While the Scanwise application worked fine on the "regular" Leopard, it stopped working on Snow Leopard. I'm very sick of seeing those missing ColorSync ICC profiles.

Another issue which has not been fixed yet is the InterActual support. The latest InterActual DVD player is fully supported on Leopard. Maybe this problem will be resolved on the 10.6.4 cumulative update.

would love for SL to add driver support for newer ati graphics cards, i.e. hd 5xxx series. oh the power! don't get me wrong, hd 4xxx series is fine but the hd 5xxx is just that much better. would really be useful when rendering 3d and video content.

Copying multiple files to a windows computer (samba) causes OS X to delete them again when done. Copying one file is not a problem.

Show file/folder path in a way so that i can copy it from one Finder to another.

Fix finder FTP upload

Cut/Paste of files

i wanna have black menubar for mac os x 10.6.2 or 10.6.3

Please try to fix the problem with the older mobile modems such as the Huawei E220, that just sort of stopped working when I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, I think there is a whole list of them that just suddenly became obsolete. Thanks

They NEED to fix the problem people are having saving their Office Files to Shared Drives (SMB servers). With Snow Leopard, many people can open files but not actual save the files on the shared drives. Major pain in the butt.

Fix the battery status
Making copying from mac to win easier on same mac machine

The battery is drained in a very short time since I updated to SL, and from various forums, it looks we are many users in the same situation

I would love to see OSX provide another copy paste buffer. Coming from the Linux/Unix world where the X windows allows a right click copy/paste, as well as a highlight-copy/centerclick-paste. This feature is EXTREMELY useful, might be nice to see it added so that someone could customize the mouse to change the center wheel/click to perform additional copy paste function. With this one feature I never needed any Copy Paste Pro, or some other custom software when 2 buffers and 2 methods to copy and paste were provided.

I really wish apple would get off their collective butts and fix some of the hardware incompatibilities they introduced in 10.6. For example: my Sirius webcam that works flawlessly in 10.5.8 will not work in 10.6.anything (error: camera in use by another application). I have pestered apple support over this and have been told politely to "pound sand". (their words: "not supported").

I like snow leopard. it works great except for this one flaw.

Also, I happen to be blind (I still have use for a camera for those that want face time with me) and i love that Voice-Over works nearly as well as my old JAWS program did in windows (only it sounds better than JAWS ever did).
