Apple Releases MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0

MacRumors · Nov 8, 2012, 05:11 PM

Apple has released a 127.07 MB update for all the Mac notebooks introduced in June 2012 -- the new MacBook Air models, as well as the spec-bumped MacBook Pro, and the MacBook Pro 15" with Retina display.

Apple is nonspecific about the exact issues the update fixes, but mentions graphics performance and compatibility with USB devices:

Ohh, I wonder if this will fix certain issues like heavy throttling of the rMBP.

Mine showed up in the App Store and I updated there :-)

I hope this will fix the rMBP lagging issue on zoomed in websites.

Codyak · Nov 8, 2012, 05:16 PM

Updated through the app store, so far so good.

It did so here.

ALCRON · Nov 8, 2012, 05:18 PM

For a few moments I thought this would be an actual hardware upgrade.

jffluis · Nov 8, 2012, 05:19 PM

I hope this fixes MBPr lag is some places..

I don't have that issue.

camnchar · Nov 8, 2012, 05:26 PM

133 mb! It better fix something.

srxtr · Nov 8, 2012, 05:26 PM

The size of the updates actually matter for the MBA 64GB

hlfway2anywhere · Nov 8, 2012, 05:28 PM

hopefully this fixes the screen tearing in Safari that has made it virtually unusable on my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display.

jffluis · Nov 8, 2012, 05:29 PM

All the same for me. MBPr. Good one Apple. "Do nothing" Update

vanc · Nov 8, 2012, 05:30 PM

After the update, Safari performs better. Scrolling with verge.com can finally reach more than 35 fps with the iGPU.

frexer · Nov 8, 2012, 05:34 PM

Can anyone give more feedback on the update? like games etc

Would you kindly mind posting a video of scrolling on The Verge or whatever graphics heavy website that was previously laggy, for us? I know it's too little a change and trivial to do something like a video, but.. would really appreciate it.

if a 133 mb update is a big issue for you then you shouldn't be using an ssd

here's how to reproduce it:

attach external display
goto display settings in sys prefs
set it to more space:

set arrangement: external display directly on top, laptop screen on bottom. MAKE SURE THE WHITE BAR IS IN THE EXTERNAL DISPLAY ON TOP

move a large window around in the retina macbook screen
see this video:

it's a known issue with OSX
confirmed and reproduced it at a Genius Bar with their own retina macbooks.

I wonder if this patch fixes the problems with games, which makes you having to reset your SMC.

beestigbeestje · 06:29 PM

Resizing Safari windows are smoother.

Not noticing any gaming performance at the moment. Is there a way to see frames per second on Modern Combat Domination?

EDIT: Safari window resizing is NOT smoother
