Apple Posts OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update And Other Revisions

Earlier today, Apple posted a series of revised Mac OS X 10.6.8 updates aimed at both desktop and Server users to fix a number of bugs and issue from the previous 10.6.8 release, and ease the transition to Lion. The “Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update” – showing up now in Software Update and available on Apple’s website – brings audio fixes when using HDMI or optical audio out, resolves issues with certain network printers and improves the transfer process of personal data from Snow Leopard to Lion, something that Apple also addressed with a separate Migration Assistant update last week.

The supplemental and combo updates for Snow Leopard are all available on Apple’s website, or directly through Software Update. The updates are recommended for all users running Snow Leopard, presumably looking to upgrade to OS X Lion in the near future. Direct links below.
