i just did the update and as a result, my Airport won't turn on, i can see it's on when i boot, but then, bam, it's off, can't turn it on no matter how much i click, already did the PRAM reset, it's the last series MBP, this will take some testing, or maybe just a archive and install, anyway, be warned

The AirPort card won't turn on or it won't connect to the network?

I thought the same thing, I use ichat for work almost daily. I was filing like 3 a day. Ditto on the skype change.
Really hoping this fixes ichat.
/me crosses fingers.

I wish Apple would fix H.264 in Quicktime so it would play h.264 main profile and high profile files properly :(
It makes it so difficult for me to distribute H.264 files around since Quicktime is the most popular player with h.264 support.

My mac is having trouble installing this update. Comes up saying something like it cannot install to "/"
I have tried it twice but it cannot do it.
I am running OS 10.5.5 on one of the newer imacs.
Any help would be great thanks :)

i have the same problem as the 1st poster, iwamoto: my airport won't turn on. i tried several things (clear caches, repair permissions...) but it just doesn't work any more.
iwamoto, did you solve it? anybody else with this problem?
