Apple Releases OS X 10.7.3 with New Language Support and Bug Fixes

Taz Mangus said:
If I am not mistaken you can use the Lion recovery partition to do an archive and install which might resolve the issue for you.

Thanks.

Suggestions that have worked for the 10.7.3 CUI problem include:
All fixes involve downloading the 10.7.3 combo update from Apple and installing that over the failed 10.7.3 update.
1. If firewire is available, boot another Lion machine, connect to failing machine via target disk mode, run combo installer pointing to failing machine disk drive.
2. If you have an external disk drive, can install Lion on it, download combo installer, run combo installer pointing to failing machine disk drive.
3. Same if you have Lion on USB stick.
4. If no firewire, no external drive, no USB installation, least destroying seems to be to use recovery mode (boot with Command-R), then reinstall Lion. This may install 10.7.3 directly. If not, can download the combo installer and update.
5. Last resort which many people are doing is to restore from a Time Machine backup if available. Can decide to update or not. If updating to 10.7.3 download and run the combo installer.

Method #2 worked for me. I'm now back operational. Very bad experience. Lots of wasted time.
 
Not showing up on my Mac Pro's Software Update and the download link on MacRumors appears to be removed.

Maybe people having too many problems and Apple pulled it. I'll have to check tomorrow morning.

I don't think so. I just updated another Mac computer almost the same time.

Edit: I'm updating my MacBook Pro right now.

I too did the update (combo, 2011 Mac Mini I5) then repaired disc permissions, and all is well so far. I have to say that for me Safari seems smoother and maybe a little faster. Could be a placebo effect though.

Note that I was on 10.7.2, but the regular update wouldn't load. Downloaded the combo and bingo!

Can you tell me how fast your Mini boots? Mine was 45 secs before, now 1 min 30 secs :eek: That's awfully slow. On 10.7.1 it was just 25 secs.
 
Downloaded, pressed restart, then it just stopped on a gray screen...

Had to manually force it to shut down after a (long) while. Luckily, when I started it back up again, the update started.

Works fine now, but had me scared for a second there!

My MBP crashed, and i cant open any application... Solution?
 
Not yet - still missing Rosetta

I'd say it's time to upgrade. Most of the actual bugs are addressed here. Note that some of what people complain about are conscious design decisions and not bugs.

The largest drawback - lack of Rosetta - to make it possible to run older programs is still there. This forces us to stay with 10.6 for a long, long time otherwise we will have to throw away important and expensive external equipment. Not worth-vile to us, sorry Apple. :(

I learned a new word today. Minoritary. Minoritary. I haven't the faintest idea of what it means, but it probably has to do with Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and Ukrainian languages, right?

I hate to be one of those people, but this update sure did some nice things for my boot time. Maybe I just needed to clear some caches, but my computer seems subjectively speedier. Of course for me I feel that way about almost every update. :eek:

My bad, I used "minoritary" in the same sense used for "minoritary shareholders" - originally, "minority" is only a substantive, so I wanted to emphasize the term above as an adjective applied to those languages (call it a neologism if you will)...

So it can be "minority languages" for you, OK? ;)

Does this actually fix the Active Directory issues on Lion? By that I mean, can you actually log onto a domain yet?

If so, we can finally deploy Macs again in our enterprise. Since Lion, we have been forced stopped doing so, as AD was broken, and we didn't want to go through the hassle of downgrading them to Snow Leopard, just to upgrade them again at some future point.

We spent ages getting Macs properly integrated in our enterprise, only to see Lion render it all pointless. It will be interesting to give this a test when we have time to go dig our Lion iMacs out from storage.

730mb delta updates... that's kinda ridiculous.

Was thinking the same thing.

Weren't "Delta" updates supposed to be smaller, didn't they also say that they could be done without he need for restarting?
 
Well my screen brightness and sound work again. Hopefully, this has fixed the issues I've been having with the LED Display USB!
 
I'm having problems getting this update;

When I try to use Software Update it tells me my software is up to date. I deleted the SoftwareUpdate.plist file in /Library/Preferences, but that didn't fix it.

I downloaded the combo updater from the Apple website, but when I open this it says that "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."

I downloaded and installed Lion at 10.7.0. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Doesn't 10.7.3 require 10.7.2 to be installed?

Sorry I've already got 10.7.2 installed, but that would be irrelevant anyway, as I've got the combo updater downloaded. The point, which wasn't particularly clear, was that I've had Lion since release date and have updated everything previously with no issues.
 
I lost Airport with this update on my Macbook. Seems to be a problem with some on Apple's discussion board and no amount of reinstallation seems able to fix it.

The temp fix for now is to use the Airport kext from Snow Leopard albeit with the loss of Airdrop. No such problem with my MBA. I have yet to update my iMac.

Ah, ok. A misunderstanding then. Sorry.
 
So, Mac OS X already has multiple Greek and Hebrew keyboards. I wonder what's being added. They really should update the iOS versions of those keyboards.
 
After the update not showing up for me on Software Update, I downloaded the dog file from the Apple website, and it also didn't work. It says that my Macintosh HD is incompatible with the software version I'm trying to install.

WTH?!?!?! I'm on 10.7.2 11C73
