Apple Releases OS X 10.7.1

and that is the case for many people, happily for me I can include myself in the flawless group. (Brand new 2011 Mini, Time Capsule as my router, connected to British Telecom Homehub version 3).
However my mate's 2010 iMac also on BT's home hub version 3 but not using a time capsule as his router does have the wifi bug and still has it after the update.
He's tearing his hair out - and he ain't got much to start with!
Personally I won't be applying this update, at least until things appear to settle down, as I fortunatly don't have any issues and don't wish to potentially introduce any!
But this wifi bug for those affected needs sorting out fast.
I know this isn't the biggest bug ever, but is this happening to anyone else?
I've set scrollbars to only appear when scrolling, and this works fine in all apps that support it, including the obvious one like Safari, Finder etc. There is one exception though. TextEdit. I seem to remember the scrollbars working fine in TextEdit in 10.7, but now, with 10.7.1, the scrollbars are always visible, and it's surprisingly annoying.
Am I the only one with this problem?

Printer Requires Authentication
Does anyone else have Printer problems now since 10.7.0 & still in .1?
Since installing Lion, whenever I go to print somthing I get a message saying On Hold(Authentication Required) If I click 'Resume' it brings up a dialog box, asking for the Name and Password for the printer, of which none of my passwords work. I have deleted and reinstalled the printer to no avail?
OR
Is this some setting I have stuffed up?
Numerous other bugs since Lion, but this one gripes me the most at the moment. (Touch wood .1 seems to have stopped the crash & no response from Safari. I was using Chrome up until .1 due to this)

I hope this update resolves the problem that kept my MacBook Pro awake when the lid is open, causing the battery to drain rapidly 
Didn't happen in Snow Leopard!!

Those WiFi bugs have been around since OS X Tiger, and Apple apparently is only interested in selling their own WiFi routers as the solution to the problem. In my experience, the WiFi issues have always only occurred when running OS X and always disappeared when running Windows or Linux (including Linux for PowerPC) on the same hardware. So, yes, Apple and their buggy driver software are the only ones to blame here.
What worked for very well for me and the bunch of Macs in our house (which is a range of notebooks and an iMac G4 running Tiger and a 27" iMac running Lion) was using a TPLink router with DD-WRT Linux on it. In my experience, OS X and Linux communicate very reliably with each other.

What also helps if one does NOT use Apple's built-in Airport cards. On the iMac G4, we are using a HAMA USB stick (which actually is an RTLink product) and that cheap piece of hardware never drops the connection - Apple's expensive AirPort card on the other hand works like crap even though the Mac is only three meters away from the WiFi router.
Anyway. I can recommend using TPLink routers with Linux firmware on them and RTLink USB sticks if the built-in Airport card does not work well enough. This costs a total of maybe 40 Euros and some minutes of time to flash the router and to install the RTLink software. Since we cannot depend on Apple to fix these issues, spending that money on third party solutions is a good investment.
It doesn't seam to have fixed the problem I am having with time machine and my Drobo FS
That's an issue on the DroboFS. It's been discussed very extensively in the DroboSpace forums.
Fixed App Store. Good work!
No more beach balls in the App Store. And no more "You haven't purchased any Apps" in the purchased tab. Worthy update!

I noticed it too. Sometimes they do disappear, but take like 10-15 seconds to disappear.
So, my tally is:
- HDMI audio bug fixed on my Mac Mini 2011. Plex forums seem to agree that for most folks this worked. Not sure why some folks here are still seeing issues.
- Kernel panics on same Mac Mini 2011 with Bluetooth unaddressed - but since it didn't show in the release notes and no Bluetooth-related kexts were modified, it doesn't surprise me.
- NVIDIA freezing on MacBook Pro 2010 - well, I hope it's fixed (I see many graphics kext updates in the pkg), but I'm not upgrading to Lion at all on that machine until I see confirmation that it's fixed.
- Built-in Screen Sharing is still boned for non-Apple VNC clients. Snow Leopard had no problem, but whatever they did in 10.7 has been disastrous.
Has not fixed the issue with Safari rendering fonts incorrectly or not at all, instead showing a whole bunch of [A][A][A][A][A][A][A][A][A]'s. It occurs when a web site uses the @font-face rule in CSS3 to use custom fonts AND you have those fonts installed on your Mac AND are managed by a font manager such as Bohemian Coding's Fontcase etc. There is a manual fix you can do by editing the webkit framework. But it's a pain in the butt.
Come on Apple
Otherwise my only other grip is dual screen full screen compatibility

Safari tab closing?
Has it fixed the missing close button on new Safari tabs?
And got rid of that annoyng little pause after entering the logon password?

No, you're not the only one... Unfortunately there isn't a solution for this bug yet. The problem is iTunes 10.4!

There is no need to bother with tricking a Mac already running 10.7.2 BETA3 into 10.7.1.
First of all the reversioner doesn't do the trick on many systems, both my MacBook Pro 17" 2011 model and my MacBook Air 13" 2011 model got corrupted after running the reversioner for the latest 10.7.2 BETA release followed by running Software Update with 10.7.1.
So if your already on 10.7.2 and want 10.7.1 you should roll back to 10.7.0 first by doing a recovery from a TimeMachine backup or simply re-install Mac OS X Lion from scratch.
Secondly it seems like the latest (11C37 aka BETA3) version of 10.7.2 released a few days ago contains most, if not all these 10.7.1 fixes anyway. For instance my Finder version reports to be 10.7.1 while running 11C37 (BETA3) compared to 10.7.0 with 11C35 (BETA2).
Done
Have done that a few times to moan about my CPU temps. Doesn't seem to have helped for this update.
I'll keep on sending them.

slow, but still works
I can see what the slow response is, or actually its a hang (i gave up waiting)
After the preferences folder is cleared (Mac HD) and after a system reboot, System Preferences, "Security & Privacy" and maybe a few others, Energy Saver are very slow to unlock, it hangs.
Even Mail has issues but System Preferences is a bigger problem, at least in Mail systems regains control and Trash...

I really had no major problems with Lion (philosophical ones, yes - missing Save As, Spaces [Snow Leopard-style], etc.).
So I thought "hey! The 10.7.1 update is out. Maybe they put Save As back or something". Did the upgrade and NOW...
Twice in the last 20 minutes I've gotten the black screen crash. Just scrolling through an article in Chrome (both times but different articles) and BAM - black screen, unresponsive. I've read plenty on it but never been plagued with the problem until AFTER the 10.7.1 upgrade.
Come ON, Apple!

If the UI and workflow of Lion aren't going to bug you then go for it because it's pretty damn stable as it stands (when I used it that's what I found). I'll wait until they fix a bunch of things with gestures and UI design with iPhoto, Safari and more
Updated my old Santa Rosa (mid 2007) MacBook Pro and tested thoroughly (four hours) with some heavy video-loaded (see my blog) websites (viewing, editing). Before the update I had occassionally the "freezes system bug" and this seems to be gone now. No beachball any more. WOW!
