Why shouldn't I use TOC-autoupdater programs? (or: Should I check "Load Out-of-Date"?)
There's a "Load Out-of-Date Addons" checkbox. Use it. Using a TOC autoupdater achieves a similar result but at the cost of not knowing which addons you haven't actually updated. The resident blue agrees. See WoW Forums -> RFC: The 2.2.0 "It's Patch Day!" PSA & FAQ in this thread.

What mods have been updated?
Check Cairenn's handy thread at WoW Forums -> Mods updated for 2.2
Telo's mods @ WoW Forums -> Telo's AddOns updated for 2.2 patch

What mods need to be updated?
ItemRack (see http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info6818.html for a fix)
Any mods dealing with sound (Titan Volume (updated! Titan Panel v3.1.0 - Titan Mods - World of Warcraft Mods, Addons, and More!), FuBar_VolumeFu (updated! WoWInterface Downloads : FuBar - VolumeFu), other mods dealing with error speech, etc...)

Missing tooltips on your character sheet?
Update ItemRack, follow the instructions here: WoW Forums -> Itemrack Mod disruting character window items

Why did my macro stop working?
If you're using a macro like

Q u o t e:
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt][target=focus,harm,nodead][target=mouseover,harm,nodead] Polymorph

and it's not casting on your target, add a set of brackets to the end, like this:

Q u o t e:
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:alt][target=focus,harm,nodead][target=mouseover,harm,nodead][] Polymorph


Getting an "Unknown macro option" error?
All macro conditionals like [help], [harm], [target] may only use lower-case. So if you get an error message to the effect of "Unknown macro option: Modifier", simply replace the capital letter with a lower-case one.

Your #show or #showtooltip stop working?
You are only allowed to have a single #show or #showtooltip in your macro. It works like spellcasts does so you can chain options together like this:

Q u o t e:
#showtooltip [pet]Freeze;Summon Water Elemental


Have a raid frame stuck in the center of your screen?
Exit WoW, delete your /path /to /World of Warcraft /WTF /Account /<YourAccount> /<YourRealm> /<YourCharacter> /SavedVariables /Blizzard_RaidUI.lua files.

Want to change your self-cast key?
Run the command "/run SetModifiedClick("SELFCAST", "CTRL") SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet())" changing "CTRL" to "SHIFT" or "ALT" as desired. See WoW Forums -> Ctrl Self Cast for more info.

Having issues updating/installing your addons?
View the handy install guide at WoWInterface - FAQ: Installing Interfaces

Why does Blizzard break addons every patch?
All Blizzard cares about is making sure its own UI works properly. Anything third-party is explicitly unsupported. More info in the Mods FAQ sticky at: WoW Forums -> Mods FAQ (AddOns, UIs, Interfaces) - READ

Curious about what this patch did for addons?
The technical details are at WoW Forums -> WoW 2.2 Changes - Concise List

Other Questions?
The "Mods FAQ - READ" sticky has all the information you need: WoW Forums -> Mods FAQ (AddOns, UIs, Interfaces) - READ
