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

Often apple do provide such a combined dmg but at this stage they are only available as separate pkg files.

They might be combined later.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
I downloaded them all. Should I install them all too?

Sounds like an even better reason NOT to use Photos.
I have some 120,000 pictures on my MacPro (old type). 99.9999% of then do not include a face. Well, as a landscape, wildlife and steam railway photographer, selfies are not my thing at all. Why would I waste all those electrons scanning images for things it will never find unless it can differentiate between the members of a Ringtail Lemur Family that I regularly photograph.

That would be awesome though, right? Deliver, Apple.

Also now I want to go through your entire photos library. ;)

Before going to sleep I close the lid on my MBP and leave it. This morning it was off. I did not shut down. I thought maybe somehow battery emptied, but no, when I switched it on it was 100% charged. On the plus side though Photos is now stuck on 51, only 13.532 to go.

I'm sticking with El Capitan for the time being on my 4GHz i7 imac. I just don't see any compelling reason to upgrade whatsoever.

Security fixes that were incorporated straight into Sierra and some that I'm sure are baked in and later on the new APFS will be released at a point. I updated on my i7 late 2015 iMac and am glad I have, I even found uses for Siri, which surprised me ;)

Can you post a credible link about this update being rushed?

Um, let's see ... from the story above here on macrumors that we're all commenting about >

"Apple has been on an accelerated timeline to get macOS Sierra 10.12.1 released, and it has likely already been sent to Apple's supply chain partners to be installed on new machines."

Yep. I kill the process and it restarts. My external speakers are plugged into the headphone jack. Pull the plug and it switches to internal speakers. Internal speaker doesn't work either. If I switch to HDMI I can get sound.

Happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

Try restart or shut down and restart. Fixed it for me.

Well it's up to you as to whether or not you want to update to 10.12.1.

If so you can either update via the mac app store, or else manually via instructions I provided before using the packages.

I have the G700s. It was fine with El Capitan. No problems at all.

Scrolling sucked from day one with Sierra using the drivers that shipped with Sierra. I couldn't do slow, precise scrolling anymore because even though I'd be moving the scroll wheel and it would be clicking, my screen wasn't scrolling. It was only after I scrolled more quickly with the scroll wheel that the scrolling was recognized in Sierra. It sounds like you're seeing the same thing.

A few weeks ago, I took a gamble and installed the Logitech Gaming Software for Mac because someone here on the MR forums mentioned a few weeks back that he had a G700s working fine in Sierra with the Logitech Gaming Software also installed.

When I installed the Logitech Gaming Software, however, I found that the scrolling problem persisted in both Sierra and my Parallels VMs. There was also a new problem -- my Parallels VMs suddenly had laggy cursor movement. The cursor was a second or two behind my actual mouse movement. This was only in the Parallels VMs, though -- which is odd because I didn't install any Logitech software inside the VMs.

As soon as I did a Time Machine restore back to El Capitan, all mouse problems completely disappeared.

Anyway, I'm not optimistic that 10.12.1 has fixed the mouse problem so I'm likely going to stick with El Cap for a while. I definitely won't be installing Logitech software on my computer again. I've categorized their software as junky and largely unnecessary for years -- and for good reason, it would appear.

You have to update to the newest logitech control center with bug fixes for Sierra, I did it now and my scrolling problem stopped.
 
On MacBook Air (13", Late 2010) YouTube volume now at or below half of previous maximum.

May have to reinstall MacOS 10.12.0 as lack of audio makes 10.12.1 unusable for me.

Safari on 10.12 was bad on my MBA 13", beach ball of death most of the time which froze the Mac completely. 10.12.1 seems to have fixed some of the issues as the beach ball is less frequent but its still there. Wonder if it has anything to do with disabling the plug-in automatically?

Anyway, not a good release 10.12 wrecked the user experience for me

Never had any beach balls on my rMBP, but Safari sometimes becomes unresponsive and i'm unable to switch between tabs for example.

I'm using my mac in a professional capacity. If sierra hogs more resources and slows down my machine, and let's face it, the chances are it will to some degree with Apples policy or rendering machines gradually more obselete, then I'm simply not interested in it. El Capitan fixed all the bugs that were present in Yosemite, and works great on my machine.

I can see curiosity getting the better of me at some point though, as I've always updated on the first day or the .1 release. I just don't see what this offers to me and my workflow.

In my case, Yosemite and all previous version of Mac OS worked great but El Capitan caused performance issues (e.g. lots of breachball). I have less performance issue with Sierra. Have not updated to the latest version yet. I am using a MBP 2010 17".

Seeing these posts reminds why i am still on El Capitan, and why i did not move to El Capitan from Yosemite until it reached .3

Same plan here.
I'm done updating these systems for updating sake. When an OS is mature, I'll update to it, and use it until the next one is mature. In effect we'll be an OS behind, but instead of thinking of it like that, I now think of it as running a company and household on the completed OS's, not throwing our productivity to the wind by using premature public beta OS's before they're ready.

The only problem with that solution is that Logitech Control Center software is not compatible with the Logitech gaming mice, which is what I have. The Logitech Gaming software, which is compatible with the gaming mice, didn't fix the issue for me.
 
I'm not sure if it's an iOS bug or something happened to my computer. But after the update my google drive stopped. Working and webpages stopped loading.
 
Yep.... I think the look of the UI (color scheme, flat vs. not flat, etc.) are just changes you expect get made with major new OS updates, to signify the fact they're new. Subjectively, people are always going to have certain looks they prefer as their personal favorite. But just like the auto-makers who update the styling of a given model of vehicle every so many years, you can count on OS X getting a visual refresh occasionally too.


cult hero said:
There is almost no way to qualify that. I think older versions of OS X look pretty dated. The changes are stylistic and in many respects, that's that. The more pedantic will make an argument otherwise but the fact is, I really, really like the flat looks introduced in iOS 7 and Yosemite.

Before that I was happy to see brushed metal get replaced by the flatter gray. Kinda funny because there were people lambasting the Aqua look in favor of OS 9 because the Aqua look "interfered" with their graphic arts work on a visual level. Maybe it did? However, my experience in user interface design is that you can't please everyone and sometimes you change for the sake of change, otherwise people gripe about things getting "stale."

I might be weird in that I tend to enjoy change for change's sake but in OS X's evolution I can only think of two changes that really bugged me and I've since gotten over both:

1. Moving folders to a single color in Tiger -> Leopard. I thought it was visually harder to make out what was what but it turned it wasn't a big deal (it really annoyed me at the time though).

2. Shrinking the stoplight buttons in Snow Leopard -> Lion. Higher DPI displays made this a non-issue.

These are tiny things though. "Flat" vs "Not Flat" is almost entirely subjective though.

[doublepost=1477401465][/doublepost]I haven't experienced this issue over here, and we use network shares on a daily basis in the office, with dozens of Mac users connecting to shares on Windows and Linux SMB servers.

Are you sure you don't just have a corrupt keychain? I've run into that before and even the "repair" option in the keychain manager utility never straightened it out for me once it began.

If you want a quick way to troubleshoot it? Just create a brand new user and profile and try saving the password in the keychain for the new user when connecting to one of the shares. See if it sticks for that new account. If so? That proves it's a problem with corrupt data in your account, not OS X itself.

<ENTER GRUMPY OLD MAN MODE>

I haven't read through this thread so someone may have already posted this, however this update hasn't fixed the bug that prompts you to enter your credentials for network volumes even if you have these saved in your keychain. Is a minor irritation, but still baffles me how something so obvious crept into 10.12 let alone 10.12.1

Crappy bugs like this didn't end up in GM releases in the days of Snow Leopard. ;-)

I'm pleased that I'm only running Sierra on my laptop and haven't yet updated my Mac Pro, which is my main desktop machine. Which is appropriate, really, because that's exactly what Apple haven't done to the Mac Pro itself for the last 3 years.

So has anyone had the specific Safari issue where [it does not beachball] mouse clicks become unresponsive? It is weird, it will intermittently do this to me, I can click anywhere in Safari but no links or buttons will respond to the click. The GUI interface does not recognize it.

Think......clicking around on a screenshot of Safari. Almost as if you did not realize it was a screenshot. That is the behavior I'm seeing.

I can however click anywhere outside of safari and it is business as usual. I was going to re-load the OS but wanted to ask first.
 
updated my 12" MacBook and it broke my Bootcamp windows. The BSOD has started and windows does not load at all.

I need windows for some proprietary software..!! Else most of the time i am on Mac OS

wont upgrade in my other MBP till I'm sure that its not due to upgrade and the windows crashing happened coincidentally.
