Apple Releases macOS Big Sur 11.2.3 With WebKit Security Fix
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
This one seems to primarily be a hot fix for WebKit, which itself is upstream from Apple. I've seen it coming in on my Linux VMs; this is fun on Gentoo, where most things are built from source, as it takes forever.
My 4k monitor doesn't work at all. It goes straight to standby mode.
If Big Sur is so buggy on supported machines, should someone with a 2010 Mac Pro, RX 580, 64GB memory, 2TB SSD storage, WIFI/Bluetooth updates, even attempt to install it? Mojave for me is generally stable for months at a time, so I've resisted Catalina (due to losing all my games), and Big Sur, since I assume Apple wants all these cheese graters to be of no use anymore finally.
But to honest, Apple hasn't done a very good job of putting the final nail in the coffin for these Macs, as my setup still beats the current crop of M1 Macs from what I can tell.
Advice?

I literally cannot update my MBP since 11.2.2 came out, just get a message that says to control my internet connection and try again. It's in Norwegian and directly translated it says:
"Download failed.
An error occurred while downloading the selected updates.
Please check your internet connection and try again."
No idea what to do.

Good god, another 2,44GB installer for a webkit security fix?!
Also, count me among those users whose 4K external display Big Sur (BS indeed) has turned into a potato.
If it wasn't for the M1 I'd be convinced that Apple's approach towards the Mac experience is to make it so intentionally bad that people will want to migrate to an iPad Pro because it can't be any worse at this point.

What the heck, 3.37Gb is like a quarter of the entire system.
What you got in there Apple, your momma? The triples equation? A bunch of Mycenaeans even?

This sounds like the same post we get about every macOS launch since every year since forever.
This. I want to enjoy music and TV shows on my M1 MacBook Air using my JBL 500 Live headphones, but either I can’t connect or the connection is immediately dropped. My Intel iMac has no such issues.
Nothing fixed with 11.2.3, my main issues are:
- still not able to just shutting down the macbook without a kernel panic and a reboot
- external monitor support still worse, doesn't gets detected, lost the settings
- Swapping as same as before, SSD gets written gigabytes in seconds
Same as the 11.3 beta 3, nothing has been fixed.

"too long" is the correct answer.
Unfortunately it still doesn't fix it for me.
I haven't been able to use my monitor for the past month ... still limited to the 15" screen ... WTF Apple???
In my experience, though, the formerly named "Supplemental Updates", the fair comparison, might not even be half this size. Yes, still bigger than one might think for what is in the release notes.
Here's an article from an excellent blog:
https://eclecticlight.co/2021/02/28...re-losing-out-against-big-surs-sealed-system/
We might get 11.3 next week or the week after. So, we'll be going through this process again soon.
Do you have VirtualBox installed? In my case that was the culprit for shutdown KPs. Still on Catalina.
Don't be in haste. You will still get security updates for at least till end of this year.
I thought when "combo" updates went away, that everything was moving to delta updates - not that everything was moving to combo updates! Why are they so huge for updates that seemingly only impact a tiny part of the OS?
It’s absurd to me that patching the browser requires an OS update. I mean, come on Apple, you created the App Store, a seemingly perfect tool for update single applications like this without requiring a reboot 🤔
