Just updated not too long ago with the combo update after reading other issues with the standard update. The update didn't have any problems and everything seems to be god so far here.

The update appears to have gone through ok for me except for one thing. Each time, I bring the iMac out of sleep, WiFi is NOT connected. I didn't have this problem before 10.7.3. I just rebooted the iMac and so I'll see if it happens again.

Thanks! I think it looks kind of silly. Why is the finger angled to the left?

I don?t know ! But I?ve tried to do it with my real hand, and it?s not very ergonomic !

*sigh* It's merely giving you the illusion that the index finger is slightly curved down...

Well, it still happens. My WiFi stays disconnected now (post 10.7.3) after waking from sleep. I have to go to WiFi and click on my network for it to connect. I didn't have this issue before the update. This update was supposed to fix the problem it caused me. Lol. I tried forgetting the network and removing WiFi and re-adding everything and that didn't solve anything. So I'll have to put in a call to AppleCare.

I installed all the updates that were available in "software update".

use the combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 it has been noted that many users are experiencing issues only using the delta upgrades http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/01/fix-mac-os-x-10-7-3-update-problems-cui-errors-stuck-installs-and-crashes/

The download link does not work. Neither does the links provided at osxdaily. I've noticed that a lot. Everytime I click on an Apple support link, its a bad link.

I had to go to apple.com, click on support and click on downloads to get that update.

I'm really beginning to think something is wrong when almost every Apple KB article link I come across comes up as bad.

Was kinda hoping for a larger Changelog as I found 10.7.2 to still not compare with 10.6.8. But the System does feel snappier. I imagine a lot has changed behind the scenes that none of us know about.

Will test the new SMB Optimisations this weekend.

As I am speaking, my Finder has crashed and relaunching it doesn?t work well. *sigh*

It?s been like this since at least Snow Leopard, maybe even Leopard, even with a clean install and a different computer. I guess they will never fix that. :/

Edit : Ok, so Right click on Finder and Relaunch never worked. But the Apple Menu > Force Quit and clicking Force Quit 20 times has worked.

Woah, just randomly noticed that the vectorized cursors are finally working properly in 10.7.3. They're showing up in Safari and YouTube videos as they should be, nice and crisp. Minor, I know, but it's nice to see it "only" took three point releases to fix the issue.

EDIT: Pointless post, looks like it already got mentioned. Sorry.

At least they fixed it. With previous Mac OS X version you had to wait until the next major new version came around. That said Microsoft doesn't really fix anything interface related in their service packs.

Well, doing the combo update seemed to have fixed my WiFi issue. I can now let my iMac sleep and it will re-connect automatically on wake-up. I just find it odd that, I never had the WiFi issue before the update and the update comes along to "fix" that issue and for me, instead of just leaving all as it is, it gives me the problem it was meant to fix. Lol weird.

Ya, my dad gets that on his iMac now. He had the ocassional error pre 10.7.3 but seems to get it all the time after sleep now. I did the combo update, but I might rerun it after downloading the "b" version.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

[Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
