Now when I log out and back in it looks like the old 10.7.3 login background. Only after rebooting from the .7.4 update did it look different. Weird.
Got a tip for us?

Yeh that will come in mountain lion. But it seems like there was minor update with graphics driver.
Ghahhaa, and I just updated to 10.7.3... 
Oh well, I'll update when my copy of Photoshop CS6 arrives.

Yeah I am trying to find a way around it. When I browse to the folder where the login background is, it shows the customized one I use. I wonder what is overriding it.
I got the same error on a system with FV enabled. No errors reported when checked from the recovery partition. I used the combo updater. I'm also going to see what happens if I undo/redo the encryption.
Managed to get thru the update without issues. I love a problem-free update process. It just sucks it took well over an hour to download on this crappy mobile connection. At least it wasn't the 700+mb file I kept seeing in pictures, mine was a bit under 400mb.
I haven't done the 46mb Safari update yet though. I don't see a point in doing it right away, I use GC.

That's what I though as well. 370mb of data for couple of fixes?
Not to mention those 730mb ones!
It's strange that this update is mostly security fixes now.
Also, I totally expected Apple to only give the option saving the preference to reopen apps to Mountain Lion users.
Ditto here.. what a PIA. Hate the linen and I have my contact info on the login screen in case I ever lose it.. let us know what you come up with. Thanks!
Seriously. I understand that Jobs wanted to keep engineers small and tight knit, allowing Apple to move engineers between OS X and iOS departments (OS X engineers were moved to iOS which delayed the release of OS X Leopard twice). However, Apple has grown immensely and it seems departments are becoming strained. I visited a friend who works in Cupertino this Feb, departments haven't grown much in the past five years. Seems demand is surpassing engineering resources. It might behoove Apple to hire more engineers, and slow it down on the iOS and OS X integration.
C'mon Apple, keep focus on what made you a great company, OS X.
did anyone else install the update and have more problems?
I did the update, it restarted saying it was installing and validating files then went to the blank loading screen with just the spinning status bar on grey.
After about 30 minutes of this I turned it off and restarted and it "loaded" for about 10 minutes before finally reaching login screen where it proceeded to spin the beach ball for a few minutes before logging in and promptly indexing spotlight again.

Nope. Everything went fine.
I agree. Their lack of focus on OS X is a little unsettling.
Not over here. I've had nothing but problems with Lion and the "geniuses" insist I do a clean install which I did. And it made it a little better.
Now this update has bogged down my laptop, isn't fully installed and I'm having slow downs, frozen start ups, etc after trying to update. Apple needs to get it together. And by get it together I may refocus on their computers.
I did a backup before installing this latest update. I either back up and install the update in the event that something craptastic happens, or I wait a few weeks to see if anyone is having problems with the latest update.
Yes it is!
Ignore below. It fixed itself
A thing I noticed when making that composite image is that in Preview, when you make a text box, you can't change the font size and colour and stuff like that after the fact. You have to set the font and colour before making a textbox... Anyone else have this bug?

Same errors here after decrypting the drive. Looks like this issue is reproduced and the fix is to cycle the encryption on the drive.
If the rest of you haven't installed this update yet, I would suggest turning off FV beforehand and enabling it again after the update.
How about fixing Safari so that it doesn't reload all my tabs even though I have 16 GB of RAM.
What happens is that they actually crash. But they are boxed in their own processes, so you don't notice it and they simply reload.
Google for single process mode, it will disable the feature that each tab has its own process. If you don't care about the security implications, you can have a stable Safari again. (Works fine here so far)
