You're not alone here. I also installed the combo update on a late 2012 27" iMac. Seemed fine last night during use. Over night the computer went to sleep & this morning when I tried to wake it, for lack of a better term, it bugged out.
I have a Bluetooth keyboard and TrackPad as well as a USB mouse (Razer Naga 2012 for my gaming habits). I woke the machine w/ the keyboard, the screen came on and I tried typing my password into the password dialog but nothing was appearing. I tried a few times to enter the password but nothing was appearing in the dialog, and initially the mouse wasn't visible either but eventually the pointer showed up but I still couldn't click in the password dialog. I should also note that the screen flipped from off to on to off a couple of times, as if toggling the sleep state on its own. No idea WTF that was about.
10 or 15 seconds later, as you said, all the things I did on the keyboard started showing up at once in the password dialog. Very odd.
I did an SMC reset (had already done a PRAM reset yesterday) and will try to reproduce this today. Hopefully I cannot.
The issue isn't related to drive speed, 10.8 just hangs waiting for things to finish up. Earlier versions of OSX don't have that problem.
Same, my MBP is basically not usable now as soon as the display turns off for the reasons above. What a horrible update. Don't bother with it.
Installed on my 2012 MacBook Air (upgrading from 10.8.4) and now the sound is very "tinny" and the speakers sound awful. I can't see anything in the Sound settings that have changed, and no Equalizer settings in iTunes were changed.
Anyone else have this?
Anyone else have this?
Yes, me!
Previous post:
Sound:
Started during 12F33
Installed Combo 10.8.5 12F33. Tested no previous builds.
Macbook Air mid 2012.
I notice a "inside" hollow sound when playing.
Back to 10.8.4. Sound ok now.
Today i installed 10.8.5 12F37. Same hollow sound issue. It is really slightly different, but not nice.
Also strange light visible EYETV dvb-t video interlacing lag during picture movement horizontal.
New audio and video drivers?
Does some of you also notice a sound quality change? (hollow).
I did a PRAM reset and it's slightly better now, but still worse compared to 10.8.4 - seems to be a new driver that causes ***** sound
System Freezes
After about 20 seconds the system freezes for me and renders the mac useless.
Going back to 10.84 via time machine...

No result.
No result.
This is probably the same problem I'm having. External drive arrays get put to sleep then have trouble waking. I have the preference set to never sleep drives, but it does it anyway.
I rolled back to 10.8.4.
Must be your setup - I don't have any issues here.
----------
And HOW do you expect the HD to NOT wake up when data is required?
Sorry, I should have written: 10.8.5 is sleeping the external array regardless of any setting in Energy Saver. In 10.8.4 I had "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" unchecked. In 10.8.5 it remained unchecked but ignored the setting. I changed the setting, then changed it back to no avail.
I rolled back to 10.8.4 because the 10.8.5 drive-sleep behavior made the external array unusable on the server.
----------
I don't know exactly what Raima's issue is, but in my case, 10.8.5 is aggressively putting external drive arrays to sleep despite "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" being unchecked.
This results in the array not being ready when a request for data comes in. It slowly spins back up, but by then the OS has locked up in anticipation of the data. The OS never comes back fully--it acts like the external drive has failed.
The array worked fine in 10.8.4.
Have you tried to repair permissions, SMC reset, check/uncheck sleep preferences and restart?
I did check/uncheck sleep preferences and restart.
I did not repair permissions (not sure how that'd help) or reset the SMC (that seems more likely to help).
The system is critical, so last night I formatted the drive and restored from backup. I'm back on 10.8.4. I may have time to upgrade again and try resetting the SMC in a couple of weeks, when I can tolerate the machine being unusable for a while.
Really glad I read this...
These drive issues seems serious. Was about to install this but will certainly hold off for now. I have a Crucial after-market SSD and a Samsung 1TB HDD in my optical bay. Seems like installing this update might be a recipe for disaster. Thanks for reporting...

My App Store app (10.8.4) always crashes. Does the update fix it?
No, but immediately after installing 10.8.5, the App Store started to download all the apps that I'd previously bought and deleted. Very annoying.
I can now confirm that my Mac Pro on 10.8.5 is spinning down internal drives even though the Energy Saver panel's "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" setting is unchecked. This is different behavior from 10.8.4, and is in my opinion a bad regression.
Note that by this I mean the OS is spinning down the drives when the system is up and running, not just during system sleep. I have system sleep completely disabled.
I will try an SMC reset on the Pro later today.
Drive spin-down is unbelievably annoying on a workstation or server. I can barely tolerate it on my laptop. (Oh, great, it's been 120 seconds; now I have to wait three seconds for the drive to spin back up, during which time the whole damn system locks up.)

Thank you!
Yes, that was the culprit. After deinstalling the antivirus without effect I wasn't sure whether my approach of deinstalling the kexts mentioned in the crash report was the right approach... It turns out it was.
Thank you very much!
