Apple Releases macOS Sierra 10.12.1 With Bug Fixes, Features for Upcoming Macs

[justperry]

Updated Macbook Air 2013 and it totally f*cked up. All apps except App store are crashing, even spotlight search crashes...

A restart might help, if not try a safe boot and a restart afterwards.
An SMC reset might also do the trick.

For the brave ones - as usual let us know how it goes!

Bricked Mac. Ejected warp core. Resulted in temporal rift. Went back in time. Stopped myself from updating. Panicked in seeing my future self and clicked 'Update' regardless. Time paradox created.

Sorry Geordi, I just love your username.

Made 3 times restart, didn't help.

That's not good....did you do PRAM reset?

Made 3 times restart, didn't help.

Worst case scenario: hold CMD+R on startup, then run an OS repair by selecting 'Reinstall macOS'. Won't affect any user data/applications; it'll just reinstall the core OS components.

Hope this solves the issue.

Does it fix the scrolling issues with mice? I had to revert from 10.12 to El Capitan because of that problem. And no, installing the latest Logitech software didn't fix the problem for me -- it actually made it worse. Reverting back to El Cap did fix the problem, but I'd love to go back to Sierra.

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I also went back to El Cap because it drove me insane, not just scrolling but movement. Also have a Logitech mouse. I don't even know, is there a way to file bug reports with Apple anymore? Or only in betas?

Updated my post, an SMC might do the trick.

I dunno, but I was sprouting a pretty mean goatee.

I had to do this on my 2012 Air. I've been running the 10.1 betas and it had issues after the beta 2 install.
SMC reset fixed it.

still holding out on Sierra, cannot afford to get bricked or have software not working

Update installed -- everything is running great.

As for the naysayers and Negative Nancy's in this thread so far, I hope you can someday find and appreciate the positive things in life.

Thanks MacRumors for bringing us the news on the update and thanks Apple for pushing 10.12.1 through so quickly!

Depends, if your recovery disk is not up to date it might reinstall the former OS.

There is no need to reinstall, most of the times there are other solutions like a SMC/PRAM reset amongst others.

1 year old mac feels like a 10 years old mac, fans got crazy, won't stop, everything is lagging.
DO NOT UPDATE
Not sure if its something local or widespread.

Ah yeah, I was a bit early to suggest it. Should've clarified the appropriate resets before saying "worst case scenario".

Does this fix the "Safari glitches out randomly" issue? Or just the fact that I can't even load e-bay in Safari anymore?

Try the usual things like a restart/ Safeboot-restart sequence or a SMC/PRAM reset.

Well, the credential prompt every time when mounting network shares is still there (the user & pwd are in keychain and the fields in the password dialogue are filled, just needs an OK).

I feel (too) old, remembering the days when OS updates actually brought fixes. Now we get a new smart album into Photos

No worries.

As suggested above by various posters, try:

1) Reset PRAM
2) Reset SMC
3) Restart with 'reopen windows when logging back in' disabled.

...So the headline doesn't really match up with the content of the article. C'mon, MacRumors, I expect more from you than this. The people who read your site are enthusiasts, we'll read the articles that you post about an OS update without you click-baiting us.

Agreed, I love MR but this is a terrible headline meant for nothing more than getting clicks. We have no idea what the new features on the Macs will be until Thursday. Until then, all 10.12.1 is is what we can see today.

Just updated my 2 year old MacBook Pro, no problems.

I loved Snow Leopard, I think it was probably the most stable of all the OS Xs.

Snow Leopard was good, but I'm more partial to Tiger.

 

[boast]

Smooth upgrade for my 2015 rMB.

But, does it fix Mission Control and other animations lag?

That will be fixed by the faster Macs being introduced in a couple days
