Apple Releases OS X 10.8.1 with Fixes for Migration Assistant, Exchange, and iMessage Issues

[thinksinc]

After updating, now I can't connect to our Exchange server at all (rejects known-good password.) Anyone else having this problem?

2010 MBAir was just over 7MB! Tiny!

About the same size for my late aluminum 2008 MacBook.

There is! But it's kinda hidden and named differently. To use it, you copy the file you want to cut (stick with me), but when you're pasting, hold option. This will change "Paste" in the menus to "Move". cmd-opt-v also works for moving.

My guess as to why Apple does it this way is that cut and paste can be conceptually weird if, for example, you cut something, but then cut something else without pasting the first one. What happened to the first one? Is it back in its original location? Is it gone? Not rocket science, but you can see how it's a little strange. This way, you know the file hasn't moved until you tell it to "move". Of course, this has its own confusion, since you originally hit "copy" in order to "move", but oh well I guess.

OS X is UNIX. Copy (cp) and Move (mv) graphically is the equivalent one does on the command line. Nothing tricky here.

By the way, it's been able to do this since NeXTStep 1.0.

Someone please tell me -- Did the App Store just modify my existing 10.8.0 installer on my hard drive and turn it into a 10.8.1 installer.

The 10.8.0 file was deep in a chain of folders and was renamed to something Apple shouldn't have found!

If this is true this is unacceptable behavior. How do I reinstall 10.8.0 if 10.8.1 is a dud? (Of course I have a backup of the 10.8.0 installer, but.)

Wait...I thought 10.8.0 was a dud. It's now good?

About 7mb update for my MBA:
+ battery life now way up scoring 9:32 hrs at 98%!
- after restart trouble connecting to Time Capsule Wi-Fi despite full range (!?), was solved by connecting to neighboring network then log in again. Anyone else with same experience?

 

[jockeyrob]

Mid 2011 MacBook Air 11"

10.8 before update battery life = 3hrs

10.8.1 battery life after five minutes same apps open = 6 hr :21 min

I'm happy with that.

after 10.8.1, I have blue tint all over the system. what a crap !!!!

i noticed this too right after the update. every time my computer switched from the integrated card to the discrete card, the screen the would have a bluish tint. after i restarted my computer it went away

Has anyone gotten a Notification Center notification about the update yet? I've been wondering if you need to be on an admin account for those to work (I run a standard one day-to-day), so I'm curious to see when the notifications start rolling out whether or not I get one.

Hello, I don't know if you'll see this tarryweather, but I thought I'd let you know that I did get a notification centre popup about the update before I read anything on here. Basically the system had already downloaded the update for me and was telling me that I needed to restart to install it. Brilliant!

FYI - I am running an admin account and I have my software update preferences set as in the screenshot attached. Hope this helps.

My retina macbook: showing 10 hours on battery! That can't be. Screen slightly dimmed, some basic programs up.

Oh oh, the update turned your retina macbook into a new iPad.

..

holy moly !!..lol

What a small update ..... Though mine was 72MB..Macbook Pro 2012

These are starting to become delta updates like IOS 5.

This update seems to be making people snappier about the snappier comments.

moving from multiple desktops and full screen apps is smooth now,. i guess thats 1 thing.

 

[MacDav]

I just updated to 10.8.1 but it still says I'm on 10.8.0. Wait...I hit the "not now" button instead of the "restart" button. I also believe a woman's body has ways of shutting down pregnancy after a violent rape. I'm one of the smarter Democrats running for the Senate. Wait... I'm a Republican? It's all good.

Ready to get off of work!!! Love updates that work...

 

[jamess109]

I've upgraded to 10.8.1 but somehow my battery indicator degrades as quick as before (on 10.8) but the hours/minutes are going up. Does this sound right? Have they made the bug even more of a bigger bug? :S

 

[C.G.B. Spender]

Mission Control bug still not fixed and it’s an obvious one. Sad.

moving from multiple desktops and full screen apps is smooth now,. i guess thats 1 thing.

not for me, still a bit laggy.

same with launchpad.

and it still has the slight blur-issue.

havent seen what my full battery life behaviour is like yet.

will be interesting to see if this machine will keep freezing.

 

[Lancer]

Wonder what point number we'll be at by the time the next iMac comes along?

 

[adnbek]

For anyone getting a full 4.x GB download, you probably have the "install mountain lion" app tucked away somewhere. Check your Applications folder or whatever folder you've backed it up to.

Great update!
Have been using my rMBP for over 2 month now and my battery indicator have told me that I get 5-6h on a 100% charge.
After the update I can see a big improvement on this. Now my battery indicator tells me 9-10 hours left (and even 11 hours at some point).

Keep up the good work Apple!

Are you running an admin account, or standard? I run standard day-to-day, which requires typing an admin password to check for updates, so I'm trying to figure out if I'll still get notifications or not.

I run like this too (non admin account), and I didn't get the notification until I had logged in as admin to check for updates.

10.8.1 removed all my previous recipients in mail. ....

 

[dysamoria]

No fix for the Notes application IMAP bugs!

 

[Sylon]

Question for anyone that has been dealing with the file organization bug when trying to arrange files in Finder "by Name". Does this update fix that issue?

With 10.8, whenever you arrange files in Finder "by Name", it will deselect that setting constantly, jumbling up your files in goofy stacks.

 

[ivoruest]

10.8.2 is underway and will come pretty quickly. Over the time using my Mac I definitely feel an increase in battery life. It may have not been fixed completely but I do feel battery is draining slower.
