Downloaded a fresh copy of 10.7.3 from Mac App store. Installed it on my mid 2011 iMac and Wifi does not connect on reboot or from sleep. This problem did not exist in 10.7.2. Ironically the changelog for 10.7.3 states that it fixes this problem.

What are your wifi router settings? WPA/WEP? hidden router name? what brand of router - tried it with other branded routers? the reason why I ask is that I've never had the problem and I use an Airport Extreme Base Station without any problems (router name visible, WPA etc).

Btw, in no way would your situation be considered 'ironic' given that it fails to fit the definition of what irony is.

Netgear DGN1000 ADSL router with WPA2 encryption and completely visible Network Name. I didn't fiddle with my router settings. Today I reverted back to 10.7.2 and wifi problems are gone.

If a certain problem doesn't affect you doesn't mean you assume it's not a problem. Btw it is ironic as the 10.7.3 update creates a problem which it was supposed to fix. Look up the definition of irony again.

If you bother to search for this issue, there are long threads on Apple's discussion boards. Mostly mid 2011 iMacs are affected.

Guess I will jump to 10.7.4 when it becomes available.

It's probably best if you stopped acting as if your personal experience of things is the only true one. I've seen people call Leopard "Apple's Vista" all the same.

I must have closed my eyes on these posts. First time I hear that.

It was released less than four weeks after OS X Lion's initial release... :/

So in 4 weeks they can fix like 5 bugs and in 15 weeks they can fix more than 100, and you?re okay with that?

File in a bug report.

Eh, I've filed several bug reports regarding the vectorized cursors. At this point, I'll doubt they'll bother fixing it. Maybe a point update to Safari will grab the newer cursor file, but if not, oh well, no big deal. But it is more noticeable than before giving that it's such an obvious low-res cursor compared to the newer ones.

Beyond that, Lion is really working quite well for me. I never did get that Combo Update installed, but the .3(a) seems to be well enough.

Apparently so huh...

Sour much? Based on the reports Apple received so far the Mac OS X developers have to start somewhere. At this point it seems as if you just want to complain rather than do something constructive such as creating a thread asking for help. If you think OS X Lion is such a horrible experience do yourself a favor and just stick with OS X Snow Leopard...

At this point I'm a bit amazed that Apple updated the other cursors. It's odd they updated the "link" cursor in Safari and the resize hand in the Finder but didn't link the latter to Safari too. Maybe it's a bit of a niche cursor?

I never said that "because it doesn't affect me then it isn't a genuine issue" - I am trying to isolate where the problem sits given that I haven't experienced a problem yet.

What firmware version to you have installed? have up graded to the latest firmware? the 'world wide' firmware seems to have a number of updates that might address the issue.

You know, I use Lion on 3 machines every single day and I'm yet to meet a single real bug - there were some WLAN issues but they ended up being a problem with the station itself and not the laptop.

Apart from that I still haven't run into anything and I use quite a variety of interesting applications (mainly music/mixing nowadays).

I have installed whatever the latest world wide version firmware for DGN1000. The router is not the problem. I also tried using my Asus RT-N56U router but still the wifi does not connect automatically after reboot or waking from sleep. Apple knows this problem and hopefully a fix should be on the way for this particular iMac model. Back to 10.7.2 and everything working just as it should.

I have a mid-2009 MBP and I just updated to 10.7.3 in software update. It gave me the "b" build, which I'm assuming is the fixed version, but I'm having issues with my ethernet and wifi. They won't assign an IP address at all. I can turn on and off the firewall to fix it, but everytime I reboot it just stops working. I'm downloading the combo update, but am wondering if it's worth trying, if it'll install at all since I already have the update.

The waiting cursor has depth to it and are you really expecting an answer from me as to why Apple decided to change it? I can't give you one, nobody here can. The updated cursor is fine too.

It was more of a rhetorical question, actually.

What I did notice after upgrading (granted, it's been less than 24 hrs) was that my graphical bug with external monitors on MBP 2010 models hasn't come around yet... I'll be keeping an eye on it over the next few days.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
