Today Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.7 the 7th major update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. To update for any supported CPU, simply run Software Update, or download the standalone installer from Apple.
Be sure to back up any important data, and if possible clone your hard drive before applying the update. Testing is underway. Report your results in the forum here.

All updated information will be posted here.
What we know about 10.6.7 so far...
- 10.7.0 Darwin kernel (No Sandy Bridge support)
- No Sandy Bridge Intel HD 2000/3000 Graphics support
- No ATI 6xxx support
- BREAKING: Sandy Bridge MBP models receiving separate build of 10.6.7
- Graphics - If you're using a NVIDIA 4xx "Fermi" card, you will have to re-run the tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update to regain full acceleration.
- Audio - The Combo update will replace your AppleHDA.kext. If you aren't using the ALC889a codec, you will have to reinstall AppleHDA Rollback using MultiBeast. If you're using VoodooHDA, you will not need to make any modifications.
- USB - The Combo update will replace your IOUSBFamily,kext. To restore full USB functionality on a non-DSDT or EasyBeast system install USB Rollback using MultiBeast before reboot. Download MultiBeast.

Hmm, odd, I had not noticed that my hackintosh has stopped producing sound after the update, but then I had a fairly busy night last night, applying not only the 10.6.7 update without thinking but also installing Firefox 4 onto my two other machines. I'll need to check and maybe rectify that tonight.
installed fine but no sound

I have GTX 470 and updated to 10.6.7 any chances to make it work with QE/CI ? After updating I installed EasyBeast and re-run tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update, but now I have only VESA
Is anyone booting from their EFI partition? running the combo update, then running the latest multibeast, my system crashes when MacOS starts to load, where I normally see the DSDT loading. No CP, just a Black screen and the ATI 5870's fan is running at full speed. I have to power Off.

my canon printer won't work after update. Canon mx870, connected wirelessly. Have rebooted, reconnected. get message communication error. Can't open printer setup utility, get message won't work with this version of mac os. I'm a fairly sophisticated normal user, not a high tech genius, but can follow instructions! Any solutions?
update using software updater
everything just fine but my monitor goes to standby mode, i tried using safe mode but that has the same result, i figure this causing by the monitor resolution so my monitor went to stand by mode, my question is how do i fix this ?
the second problem is i download dmg file (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361)
but the disk mounter doesn't recognize it, so i tried using software updater, and that kind of result I've got
Motherboard : DX58SO i7 920
RAM : 8GB 1333
Hard-drive : 3.5 TB
VGA : ATI radeon 4870 512MB
Benny, i think you should remove SleepEnabler form S/L/E and / or from E/E/ and try again. good luck !

Hello I have a HP Pavilion p6240f PC
intel CORE 2 Quad Q8300 2.50 GHz processor with 8
GB DDR3 SDRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT With 1GB,
Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n. I have this problem, in
"About this mac" indicates that the Processor is
2.49 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, when the processor
really is intel CORE 2 Quad Q8300 2.50 GHz.
I don't know what to do to make the computer
recognize the right information about the
processor. Also I have problems with some of the
USB, the computer only recognize two of them, the
one for the keyboard, and from the mouse.I
already checked in the motherboard, and they are
enable.Please I need some help with this.
Thanks.
I tried to update from 10.6.5 to 10.6.7 and got kernel panic on boot. I ran multi-beast after the combo update and chose to roll back USB and install easy beast. WTF...luckily I made a copy of HD and will try to just go to 10.6.6.
Worked for me
- Software update
- CustomBeast
- Core i7-950
- 6gb RAM
- GeForce GTS250
- GA-P55-USB3
Did clone the HDD first using HDClone as was crapping it that the update would break my machine. Unfounded worry but at least I have a cloned backup now(which I've also updated now!!!)
is intel core i3 350 m with intel HD graphics hackintoshable???
Hi folks,
Managed to trash my hackintosh.. after installing (accidently) 10.6.7 and getting no audio, I installed MultiBeast - got some errors, rebooted and now I can't get OSX to start - no matter what combination of -v -x -f I use. Running with -v I learn that I have a kernet panic AppleHDA (AppleHDAController can't find the PCI card)
Any ideas how I can solve it?
Thanks!
on acer aspire x3900, core i3 530, 4gb ram, 1tb hdd,nvidia garka 1gb. everything works fine except voodoohda causes kernal panic, and no sound over HDMI.
i will try applehda, that might work.
hey now, total newbie to the hackintosh scene (had mine built for me). i had the USB issue. no keyboard or mouse to work with. I went to my old mac mini and screen shared with my hackintosh. downloaded and installed the newest Multibeast, re-booted, and BAM! Back in business.
Thanks to everyone that contributes, comments and helps out in this community.

Installed combo 10.6.7 from 10.6.6, now it won't boot. Power failure as soon as the apple boot screen appears. Figured it was sleepenabler.kext, but after starting the computer off a bootable cd and using a terminal, the file isn't in the extensions folder anymore. No idea what is causing this error.

I have "almost" a perfect new build , but with a couple of issues !! I tested several installs beforehand on a small hard drive just for practice , and Safari ( Ver. 4 ) works incredible with my 10 Mbps cable connection .
After the 10.6.7 update , Safari becomes (Ver. 5 ) . All of Apple's websites load super fast ....but.... when I go to any other website on the entire Internet , Safari freezes up with the CD disk icon spinning , and I have to force it to quit.
Also....sleep does not work , but the screensaver does .
Could someone please help me solve these 2 issues ?
Forgot to add my components ....

Hi there,
My ATI 1950GT is no longer working too.
It requires me to use GraphicsEnabler=No in boot argument to boot the machine up, or the following error will appear:
ATI Card non-POSTed, reading VBIOS from PCI ROM @0xfe9c0000
Problems with NVIDIA GeForce GT 240
Is there any place that one can download a working copy of ALC888 32/64-bit AppleHDA.kext (10.6.7?
I have a
Intel Core i7 960 3.10GHz

Whenever I use the software updater sound is no longer there. My computer updates and indicates that software update was successful. Then sound disappears, I can never hear anything. When I used the software updater same thing happened the first time; sound disappeared. I did a re-install and all worked fine. When I updated using the software updater sound disappeared.
Any help in resolving this issue will great be appreciated. It's only sound that has issues, all other things work perfect after using software updater.
I thank you all
Can someone tell me what laptops would be compatible to do this? I just put a new one and would like to pick up another used one to do this on. Also, is there any way to do this without access to a MAC?
HP Pavilion DV 5 Crashed After update
from 10.6.6 to 10.6.7
hey guys, im trying to get my SB X fi sound card to work oon the OS X 10.7. any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks, sido
have a dual boot hackintosh (running both windows 7 professional and snow leopard) . I logged onto windows and saw that kaspersky (the anti virus) software had a big "x" on the upper right hand corner and when i tried to update it, it said databases obsolete and it wouldnt let me update. I then noticed that at that same time snow leopard kept telling me to shut down even though it had been working previously. I'm wondering if this has to do with the kaspersky issue with windows. I somehow got the kasperky to run the right way, and it shows that there arent viruses or (apparently) no virus threats. The snow leopard is still asking me to shut it down occasionally, does anyone know how to fix this. Thank you so so SO much for your help in
i'm trying to update my hackintosh to 10.6.7 using the comboUpdate downloaded from apple.
when the update starts, it directly gives an error and won't update.
