Apple Releases OS X 10.7.4 with Fix for FileVault Password Security Issue

Adium will no longer open for me with the update installed. Bounces, then it crashes and throws up a crash report window.

Anybody else getting this?

Edit: deleted and reinstalled, did not help.

Edit2: Ran Onyx (fixed permissions, etc.) and it is now functioning correctly.

Thank god they finally fixed this

This being 10.7.4, rather than 10.7.1, I expect the change wasn't a bug fix, but rather a final and grudging acknowledgement that the trial balloon turned out to be filled with lead rather than hydrogen. Getting a checkbox to retain its value between restarts is not rocket science these days.
 
Finder Size Slider

WHY,

after 3 updates to lion, have they still not fixed the icon size slider in the finder?
It sometimes works, it sometimes just doesn't respond...


WHY? Have they lost their attention for detail at all...


I know how to fix it temporarily. (hit cmd+/ twice to hide and view the status bar)
But regular users don't know that.

So it's just broken.
 
Didn't fix any of my issues: constant (meaning 95% of the time I watch video of any format, via various players, i.e., browser, Q-time, MPlayerX, VLC) system freezes (audio typically continues, but no mouse/KB input is accepted; have to hold down power button to shut down) or black screens; weird graphical glitches which precede system freezes/panics. These tend to necessitate repeated re-starts before things settle down.

:shrug: I wasn't really expecting a "fix" since my machine is so old--late 2006 MBP--, but was hoping anyway. Wish I could afford a new machine, but the last couple of years have been rough.

Doesn't sound like you have an OS problem, more like a hardware issue

Opens fine for me on my MBA
 
I noticed a lot of system icons reverted or default. Using Candybar here, it was easy to re-apply my custom ones. However the Finder icon is no longer showing up in Candybar after the update =/.
 
So what is this for in General "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" for then.

It seems like that does nothing at all.

Tried it and nothing restored unless I do it from the shut down popup.

Just wonder why they did not do it a better way, you can leave it on all the time or turn it off all the time?

What a mess

Second. I HATE that "feature". I hate it on the iPhone too. When I restart I want a fresh start.

I second that more than anything, I really hate it more on iOS than on OS X. So annoying having to kill every app that is running in the background when something flacky starts to happen. Just restarting my iPad or iPhone sometimes does not fix the problem till I kill the offending app and then reboot. Glad it happens infrequent.

Apple stop been such hard asses and give an option which either way people want iOS to behave.

When will they ever fix the issue of the grey woven-texture appearing on an external monitor when going full screen?

This should have been priority #1 considering how much they are promoting their Thunderbolt display.

:sad:

Now that is truly lame, it need to be fix makes no sense why they coded it that way. What is the use having that functions if it takes out your other monitors. Bad Apple or lazy Apple not sure which one. :mad:
 
My Dock has gone black after the update.

And the iStat Menus process viewer isn't showing even though its enabled in the preferences.

'NEW' Safari Update Disables Flash

After updating to 10.7.4, Apple issued another update for Safari, disabling Flash. When I checked internet plugins it was still enabled. What now, Flash disabled all broswers. Guess we have to wait for Adobe to update Flash. There is a 'beta' Flash update in MacUpdate but don't know if it is the latest. Has anyone tried it or found another workaround?

Yes. First of all, you're not linking to the manufacturer of the SSD. Secondly, because Apple artifically exclude non Apple labelled SSDs people have been using a a fairly hacky binary kext patch which is unsupported by Apple and may cause problems, especially after 10.7.x upgrades. Not because there is a problem with TRIM but because the patch might screw with stuff it's not supposed to screw with.
Click to expand...
OWC sells its own branded SSDs. They seem to be well received. I recently installed one of them in my 13" MBP and have been very pleased with the results so far. I wonder if TRIM support really could help to maintain its performance if it was natively supported in OS X.

64bit c2d macs run lion in 32 bit mode (…) By ml 64bits become mandatory so no ml for them, which is the official excuse, the honest one would be as you said that the sub par gpus apple has used in most of their older machines can't handle it.
Click to expand...

My C2D MBP can handle Mountain Lion just fine. I think both reasons are dishonest- they just want people to buy new computers, that's all. What in ML is more GPU intensive than on Lion? They are even bringing all the HiDPI resources to Lion, ruining the one plausible excuse they could've had to exclude weaker machines from upgrading.

The problem is not so much that they won't offer security updates, which they will

I hope so too, but that is not enough to keep an outward facing 32-bit Mac in use. Too much risk if Apple stops patching 10.6 out of nowhere.

The best thing about the Intel switch is that obsolete Macs make decent Windows machines now.

I really, really wish Apple would start going after the business market with OS X - then they'd have to behave a lot more responsibly. I don't see it happening though, they'd need to expand their programming teams for that.

I don't want to speak too soon but my WIFI is fixed. I installed the update last night and 24 hours later not one drop, this is from an iMac mid 2010 that would drop about every 15min. also would not connect after sleep and sometimes would not see any wireless networks (I live in an apartment so we have dozens broadcasting).

Again I have not had one problem in 24 hours after installing this update.:D
