Comic time

I think this answers your question.

I liked these ones.

I booted up in the Recovery HD (Hold down Option at Start Up) and ran disk utility. Repaired permissions and first aid. Now it's working. For now...

Cool I will try this, is this any different to repairing permissions just inside Lion?

As the new Mac OS 10.7 Lion is just a subset of iOS things will be smaller now. A 100+ MB update would be rather large for an iOS device. This means that a 10 - 20 MB updates will be the norm.

It was nice when we had a full fledged Mac OS X but now we have iOS X Lion.

Is a missing item a bug or just the dumbing down of the Mac OS to make it the new large iToy OS?

This would be like the equivalent "soon to be" IOS5 delta updates yes? For OSX Lion instead of IPhone, that is.

I'm not a fan of the iOSifying of OS X, but it seems to me it's more of a superset of both. You can hardly say that OS X is gone.

What is missing exactly?

Based on news reporting of Lion OSX, it seems like Apple has dropped the ball on this update? Is this the Windows equivalent of Vista on Mac? dun dun dun!

Vista really wasn't bad at all, I don't know where all the hate for it came from. Shouldn't be any Lion hate either.

 

[Jagardn]

Still creaky browser that freezes as it sees fit, Mail that works most of the time, Address Book that needs to be corrected DAILY, FaceTime THAT WE PAID FOR STILL HAS NO SUCCESSFUL AUDIO INPUT, programs that freeze, a 3rd of my programs (and their costs) wizzed away - WHY APPLE??? All the rubbish of this wonderful system that begs for it's users to go back to PC!!!

And forget customer service - PUHLESE, APPLE IS NOT THE CS GIANTS THEY ONCE WERE - I've begun thinking they are the Peggy Discover Card got their ideas from!!! I hope the new building that is being built actually returns Jobs and a lot of the others back to THE MOTHER SHIP!!!

Dell is looking good again! Bad VERY BAD

Michael Dell will greet you with open arms.

Possibly from any of the reasons listed here:

several beach balls

i had on my iMac 2009

i was not really working on the Mac, mainly for entertainment so that was OK.

one other issue with after installing Lion, Intel SSD would not detect at times ( i am booting from firewire drive)

Yet a lot more people have bought Vista then OS X, go figure.

 

[FrankySavvy]

Still having the WiFi issue, anyone else?

MacBook Air 2011


Mac Pro 2009


Still separate builds with 10.7.1

 

[AppleFan360]

Well that's just great. Now I get a Kernel panic when I try to restart the computer. Wonderful.

I know Leo Laporte from MacBreak Weekly was upset about Snow Leopard breaking a lot of his apps, and, if memory serves, he mulled over SL possibly being Apple's Vista. Most of the regulars came to SL's defense. Shockingly, Leo loves Lion, while the rest of his guests are saying it is taking some time for them to embrace it. Go figure.

I believe that Leo LaPorte takes contrarian positions on certain topics in order to promote conflict, thus revenue.

Still separate builds with 10.7.1

That's correct, it was right there in the article:

Apple has also released a version of OS X 10.7.1 specific to the latest MacBook Air and Mac mini models, adding a few additional fixes.

I guess he has to, otherwise it wouldn't be addictive.

I just always find it strange it's like this, but then later Leo changes his mind and suddenly 'likes's it, not not that bad anymore.

There is a pattern here somewhere.

 

[FroMann]

Not much of a update, especially considering I use Google Crome instead of Safari. I really don't see the appeal of Safari compared to Firefox and Chrome.

Who said Apple did not seed 10.7.1? Most likely 10.7.1 is just the 10.7.2 seed minus the iCloud features (and maybe minus a few other small things that were still not fully cooked).

I am almost 100% certain those fixes in the 10.7.1 release are also in the 10.7.2 seeds. 10.7.1 is simply a subset of what is in 10.7.2 (possibly most of the difference relates to iCloud).

Nope (not just lack of iCloud). 10.7.2 adds a new feature to mission control that is not present in 10.7.1.

Still hasn't fixed screen sharing virtual display hangs.

Good there's an update... but this fixes exactly none of the issues I've been having (which boil down to needing to restart every few days as performance has been degrading over time).

Yep I don't believe I've seen any of the issues listed.

However I'm not real concerned as they had to get this out quickly because I suspect that the .2 update isn't far away. That update will likely bring iCloud to us, but it also should have more bug fixes.

Speaking of iCloud it can't be much more than a month away. Maybe a month and a half.

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

A very small size.

 

[MartiNZ]

Nope (not just lack of iCloud). 10.7.2 adds a new feature to mission control that is not present in 10.7.1.

Sounds like 'a few things that were not fully cooked' to me.

However, the entirety of MC, Launchpad, resume/autosave/versions were not fully cooked, so 10.7.2 could be a biggie by that logic .

 

[zinynano]

To all pundits who mocked when I said there would be NO developer seed for 10.7.1:

WHO IS YOUR DADDY NOW? HOW DOES YOUR CROW TASTE?

I EXPECT AN APOLOGY FROM EVERY ONE OF YOU, THANKS!

I honestly don't know why you're getting voted down... You were right. People were being pretty condescending while talking about what they presumably "knew."

And the rest of us will download the cutting edge and best OS on the planet and it's point releases. And enjoy things as they come.

Not even close. I reverted to MP to SL after two days and the MBP last weekend, too much iToys/tablet crap for me. I feel like an adult computer user again running SL.

Things could change. Apple has goofed up before and made corrections. I've got the original boot drive mounted on a spare sled that I'll pop into the machine tonight, load the upgrade and explore.

We'll see what happens by .3 or .4 since it sounds like .2 if for iCloud, a service that I'm not very interested in.

MBP (early 2010) hung on restart for install. Had to hold down power key. Slow install followed (glacial considering it was 17.8MB) and it's working fine.

I experienced zero problems with the initial Lion release, so this was a 'good faith' install.
