14 DAY TRIAL // A Mac OS X 10.6.7 update specifically targeting MacBook Pro systems launched earlier this year has been released with the purpose of addressing minor FaceTime performance issues, as well as to improve graphics stability and external display compatibility.
Talking about the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update for early 2011 MacBook Pros, Apple reveals on the Support area of its website that users should consider updating soon.
“The Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update for MacBook Pro is recommended for all early 2011 MacBook Pro models,” the company notes.
“It includes general operating system fixes for Mac OS X Snow Leopard that enhance the stability, compatibility, performance, and security of your Mac,” it adds.
According to Apple, these fixes include:
- Improve the reliability of Back to My Mac - Resolve an issue when transferring files to certain SMB servers - Address various minor Mac App Store bugs - Address minor FaceTime performance issues - Improve graphics stability and external display compatibility.
Launched February 24, the new MacBook Pro family features next-generation processors and graphics, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O technology and a new FaceTime HD camera.
The MacBook Pro line is up to twice as fast as the previous generation, as it features the latest dual-core and quad-core Intel Core processors.
A noteworthy addition to the MacBook Pro range of laptop computers is the FaceTime camera.
Reports recently emerged saying that 2011 MacBook Pros exhibited glitches that caused external displays to flicker.
A growing Apple Discussions thread outlines the problem with users noting brief blackouts and flickering when connected to a 24-inch Cinema Display via the new Thunderbolt port.
Hopefully, for these users, Mac OS X 10.6.7 will do its bit in addressing these issues while also applying the rest of the updates intended for all Macintosh computers, including desktop Macs.
