Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.6.7 With Numerous Fixes, Better Security

Apple on Monday released Mac OS X 10.6.7. The new release is the seventh for the Snow Leopard OS and is available through a simple, yet rather large (in size) software update.

The 10.6.7 update features various issues fixes for Mac OS X Snow Leopard including stability corrections, compatibility fixes and security improvements which means it’s a highly recommended update to all Snow Leopard OS users.

According to MacRumors several improvements include:

– Improve the reliability of Back to My Mac
– Resolve an issue when transferring files to certain SMB servers
– Address various minor Mac App Store bugs

The public release is the same one offered to developers last week, at the time known as Build 10J869.
