After buying a new early 2009 macbook pro last week, I am having problems connecting to my wireless accesspoint that has been running for years without problems. My ‘old’ macbook pro has no difficulties connecting.

What seems to be the problem?

Any ideas?

Read a lot of news/forums about some people having issues with this update. I’m happy to say that I didn’t have any problems with the update.

I have fixed Mail, it was one of the plugin bundles (possibly GPGMail) that stopped working.

those with the hang on “config install” …. log back into OS X after a hard reset, find this folder:

/Library/Updates/Mac OS X

there should be two files in there (one with a DIST extension, the other PKG I believe).

Delete both of these files.

Re-run software update, and download the updates again.

This time it’ll work ;)

Since the upgrade I cannot start Mail anymore, it hangs when trying to read a message already stored in a local mailbox. Not sure if it’s related to .6 but…

We tried to upgrade one machine in the office and it got stuck “Configuring Installation…” until we rebooted. 2 other friends emailed me about their machines doing the same thing.

I think we’ll wait a few days to do the entire office….
