Apple Releases OS X 10.7.1

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).

Ive dealt with that same problem. Or Safari freezing out of the blue and the rainbow ball just spinning. Then trying to switch to different windows using mission control. There is a whole lot that hopefully will be fixed in this update or upcoming updates

I updated my 2010 macbook pro 13" and haven't had any issues in the 10 hours straight I've been on my laptop (uni).

My only issue prior to the update was as the days went on my laptop was running slower and slower and slower. I needed to close all my windows and reboot (so nothing opened on startup) to fix the issue. I didn't have any of the other bugs people are reporting. It was working perfectly until all processes started to drag.

I can't tell if that's fixed yet, I'll need to use it a couple of days more but I'm finding it... faster? Placebo effect, perhaps, but that's all I can see so far.

Good to know.. i'll be updating my 2010 13" tonight. Haven't had any problems with Lion before the update. *keeps fingers crossed*
 
This update did not fix my Optical out issue on my Mac Mini. Apple Support needs me to take it in for servicing. they are thinking it is now hardware related. Ironic that it stopped working the SAME DAY that I upgraded to Lion... :(

My MBP is running fine with no issues on Lion 10.7.1... :shrug:

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!

Some said that about Snow Leopard. I have found Lion better than Snow myself, and Snow on about a par with Leopard.

I assume that your issue is with DTS/DD output (Stereo downmixing should still work). My Mini has the same problem under Lion. Interestingly SL had the same issue with 1.6.8, and was fixed in the next update.

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.

As someone who used Vista and went back to XP after trying both SP1 and SP2 and then finally upgraded to 7, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Vista was plain awful. Lion is OK, it has a few rough edges that some are overreacting to (just as they did with Leopard and Snow Leopard) but on the whole seems a capable and stable OS.

I have both Lion and Snow Leopard running on my Macbook pro 2.16ghz c2d with 3gb ram. Lion runs very hot doing less tasks then Snow Leopard.

ive noticed this on my late 2006 intel imac -- even when idle the CPU fans are turning on frequently now.

I agree that overall Lion is OK for the majority of users, but that is of little consequence to users experiencing show-stopping bugs. It'll get better.

In all fairness to MS, Vista 'was' bad. Largely due to changes in the driver model. It took a couple of years for hardware vendors to adapt to the changes. Today Vista is actually a very stable platform for most users.
Behind the UI, Windows 7 is nearly identical to Vista. Win 7 was able to leverage the growing pains felt by Vista and launch with far more compatibility and stability.
It was the same with Win2000 and WinXP. They were very similar structurally and XP owes most of it's 'smooth' launch to the third party support built for Win2000.
 
Just installed.


Resume worked perfectly after restart.

Safari youtube HTML5 works better, but not perfect.

Launchpad folders seem to work better (there was a bug where folders would open with lag or something).

Now Vuze says again NAT error when in 10.7.0 finally said OK. On Snow Leopard it almost never said OK.

Important. Now many tabs in Safari don't seem to take all the RAM. I have now 8 tabs and 1.46GB free RAM when before I would have like 400MB free. This is good news.

16 tabs plus Vuze open and 1.40GB RAM free.


Anyway, very happy we already have an update. 10.7.2 will come on septembers last days or early october just before IOS 5.
 
Just to be a little positive here...I have had no problems with Lion that learning didn't fix...

10.7.1 didn't fix anything for me, I am honestly surprised there are so many problems out there..
 
Lion was acting funky for me initially too.. Then I read about doing a PRAM and SMC reset. So last night, I performed both EFI/PRAM reset and SMC reset and freshly installed Lion onto a freshly formatted HDD and I gotta say I haven't ran into any problems so far.. Lion is FAST and smooth right now.

Of course, I don't have much of my original apps installed yet..

But perhaps some of you should look into PRAM resetting. I believe the process is different depending on machine.
 
How do I do a clean install of LION?

If I am running Snow Leopard on my MacPro and I want to do a clean install of LION on a new HD do I just download LION on Snow Leopard and then point the LION install PKG file to the new empty formatted drive and let it rip?

After the upgrade, I constantly got kernel panic on booting the system. Now I have to restore everything from TM. :mad:
 
I reset my PRAM and NVRAM and now mission control is even worse. Those windows that are open keep bouncing off each other when you select one instead of coming to the front so you can use that specific window. Real lame.
 
Still crashes just like before on my iMac, mostly when Safari or something else tries to download something. A real pain in the arse, about the worst OS from Apple in recent or long term memory. Argh.
 
Did the update early this morning and all is well so far. Booting seems a tad faster as do the GUI effects.
 
All I hope is that this update fixes the intermittent wi-fi issues. I never had these issues on Snow Leopard.

But as a whole Lion has been pretty good to me.

Actually, I am getting NO audio out that port. Neither my headphones nor an optical cable is working. I just find it odd that it stopped working the same time I upgraded to Lion...

I'll be taking it in to get serviced since I still have a warranty on it. :D
