Apple releases updates improving printing, scanning, iSight cameras and QuickTime
Over the past few days, Apple has been releasing updates for printer and scanner drivers in Snow Leopard, iSight cameras in LED Cinema Displays and QuickTime 7 for Windows.First, Apple released printer driver updates for Snow Leopard for Lexmark printers and Brother, Canon and HP printers and scanners.
Next, Apple released a firmware update for the iSight camera that's built into the Apple LED Cinema Display. According to Apple, this firmware update corrects an issue with the built-in iSight camera on the LED Cinema Display where the camera may not be recognized by applications.
Finally, Apple released QuickTime 7.6.5 for Windows, which fixes an issue where applications weren't reliably loading libraries required by QuickTime at startup and the incorrect display of QuickTime movies embedded in a webpage using custom scale attributes.
All of these updates are available from the Apple Support downloads page and Software Update.

I often find out about Apple updates from TUAW before checking in software update. Again, thanks for the heads up!

Holy cow. So my isight on my lcd cinema display has been *useless* through two models of MBP unibodies. It locked up about a minute into any video chat.
Called applecare, after troubleshooting they said "ok, sounds like hardware, take it into the nearest applestore and give them this warranty/incident number."
Took off of work, drove to an apple store, lugged the huge thing in, waited for my appointment.
A nice genius hooked up the display to his mac and set up a video ichat session there in store. And it didn't lock up. And he said he couldn't help me anymore.
I took it home, plugged it back in, initiated a video chat with a buddy and it immediately locked.
Dammit.
I just installed this and tried it and I am cautiously optimistic - I just had a several minute video conference and no lockups. Thank god.
This was my first experience with applecare after years of owning macs. *not* impressed. But at least they've patched the firmware and it seems like it fixes it now.
Thanks for letting me vent. *(;

will they update the issue with my airport wireless card soon (mid 08 macbook 2.1 Ghz intel core 2 duo) since this latest update if i don't have the network on my card already it won't connect me. and i've gone back to places that i KNOW i've been before and even then it doesn't let me connect to the internet.
i'm frustrated.

Still waiting for the Canon Powershot software update.
Two months now I've been held hostage by Apple and Canon not communicating effectively enough. This is the kind of behavior I thought that Microsoft was known for, and that Apple was above.

All I know is that a tiny Canon application called CIJScannerRegister was open on my Mac at all times for unknown reasons and caused frequent kernel panics...
