Apple Releases OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan With Multiple Bug Fixes

[H2SO4]

That's funny because Java doesn't even run in the browser anymore without explicity given permission to do so. Also when just installed it doesn't take up any system resources.

Resource hog/security hole is the boiler plate response here to flash and Java.

MBP15, update was 668 MB, and installed.

661 Mb ..... downloading

Hope they add Night Shift to the Mac in the next betas of 10.11.4

There's an app for that: f.lux

 

[AstroBackpacker]

Updated. Seems to load apps about 1% faster. Yay.

Anyone know if this includes a fix for the OpenSSH vulnerability?

It's a shame because especially Java most certainly has its uses. Perhaps not so much for regular consumers I suppose.

Remove JAVA completely. If you google it, you'll find it.
I got rid of both JAVA and Flash and now my Mac runs a lot faster and uses less memory. No more memory leaks.

Sure, first thing I tried. Problem is that almost no webpage runs normally without those plugins.

the 800Mb update downloaded pretty fast on my fiber connection in Barcelona. Update took less than 10 minutes in the new Macbook

 

[MikeDance]

Got our update fingers crossed.

Link to support.apple.com page with detailed update info is broken it seems.

Anyone have the info?

I am in the public beta, and I would like to take my iMac out of it. It only shows me the beta version for 10.11.4 (I haven't installed any of those). How do I "un-enroll" my iMac to get just the option to upgrade to 10.11.3?

Thanks!

 

[StrangeNoises]

I just want the damn thing to stop asking me to install some Java JDK every hour

er, you might want to try to find out what keeps doing that, because OSX won't be; and if you don't know what it is, is may be something that shouldn't be there.

Really, a lot faster?

without Flash, browsing is a lot faster, yes, and safer, and gives longer battery life. I've not had it installed on a Mac now for over a year.

I have a JDK installed because it's my job *and* my hobby, but even I don't have it enabled in the *browser*. As long as you ensure that too then it too won't be slowing down your browsing. (You can enable or disable java in the browser in the java control panel, in the security tab.)

There's an option in the App Store Preferences panel.

Mac mini 668 MB
Mac Pro 661 MB
Fastest response ever by Apple servers on a release day, at least that's what I saw here at my location.

I know, but they should make it available natively.

I've just installed it but the Mac was unresponsive just after it finished installing and started booting. I wasn't able to move the cursor or enter any information to setup the permission to send info to developers. I had to force shutdown and start it again after that everything seems to be working fine.

 

[StrangeNoises]

Sure, first thing I tried. Problem is that almost no webpage runs normally without those plugins.

Hardly *any* websites still have java applets. *as a java developer* I haven't even seen one for i don't know how long. Java does indeed still have its place(s) but applets are deader than a dead thing.

Flash is thankfully getting rarer too. My feeling now is that any site that only offers video as flash, or like BBC insists on serving flash to desktop users despite it working perfectly well using HTML5 if you force it, just don't really want me to watch their videos.

Does it fix anything or just a placebo update?

...sure, on the backend. Let's keep it on servers, the enterprise and on Android please.

Anyone else noticed a problem with iTunes since updating? Playing a song no longer shows the "progress bar", you have to minimize iTunes to see it.

 

[indiekiduk]

It's strange the update information link is still broken, maybe this update is about to be pulled?

Try installing this and tell me if it fixes the issue...it should.

Why are they so lazy with the Release Notes? I'm confused. Sometimes they are very descriptive, and other times it's just a canned response. Is it laziness? Do they think that we don't need or want to know? Are they worried that they might reveal a vulnerability with non-updated systems?
