Apple Releases OS X 10.8.2 Supplemental Update with Japanese Character, Safari and Other Bug Fixes

The previous version of this upgrade murdered my Mac Pro (an old 2006 model upgraded to GT8800); I was booting to a corrupted screen and had to restore form Time Machine.

I'm not getting this until confirmed safe. Anybody upgrading an old Mac Pro who can put me at ease?

So, this would mean only the Mac Pro would really benifiet from this update with 64Gig.?
 
I thought everything was fine on my 2008 MacPro but it looks like this update is causing my upgraded (Bought from Apple) 5870 to be quirky. It boots using 100% of the graphics card memory for some reason. Video playback in FCP7 (1080p ProRes files) gives me screen tearing now.... 27" 2560x1440 display.
 
I've been using an iPhone 5 over Wi-Fi, no SIM card, and with iOS 6 it was losing about 1% every two minutes.

Guys, It's an iPhone 5 problem, not only iPhone 4/4S.
I think Apple seriously shoud fix the battery drain problems from iOS 6.

And that's because I'm waiting iOS 6.1 in order to buy my first iPhone (probably, the iPhone 5).

Ok, as regards to 10.8.2.1, I just installed it in my 2010 MBP, and no problems so far. Hope this will fix the Safari 6 freeze.

THE important question: does it fix the spotlight/console messages bug that has caused numerous wake-from-sleep issues and constant Console thrashing?

Thanks!

Does that problem manifest itself as an inability to get your Mac to come out of screen-saver mode? Because I've had THREE lockups in the past few weeks -- the machine isn't totally dead (iTunes keeps playing in the background), but I can't get out of screen saver mode and VNC attempts to the machine don't work. I have to hard power-off each time this happens.
 
disappearing menu bar

Anybody know if it fixes the disappearing menu bar issue on mbp and airs?

The issue is when waking from sleep about 1 out of 4 times you get the desktop but no menubar (the one with file, edit view etc. )

Not a big deal for experienced mac users since you can click where it should be and the menu appears but it's freaking our more casual users out

64GB of ram. 99% of the people have no need, but if you are doing big data crunching, or serious work in Adobe Apps, you can easily use that much. Got 32GB in my MacPro and it's used nearly completely used by AE, might bump up since ram is so damn cheap.
OSX still won't see anything over 96GB even though you can put 128GB into a Mac Pro. Windows sees it fine, it's a software thing.

All my "normal" machines have 4 or 8GB in them.

I have 96GB (8GBx12 slots) of RAM in my 2009 XServe - there are those of us who actually need it. VMWare Pro with ESXi Server hosting dozens of vm's - nuff said.
 
- Addresses an issue that may prevent systems with more than 64 GB of RAM from starting up

Lol same thing that jumped out at me! Wow I wished I had this problem. I had an eight core Mac Pro at one point that had 20GB of ram and another that had 32GB and I thought ... Wow I gotta a race horse of a machine ... But more than 64 GB ... Man!!!
 
My 2012 MBP took 20+ seconds to shut down with 10.8.2, now with 10.8.2.1 it's back to shutting down in less than 3 seconds. I'm happy! :)

As for safari, we'll see if it still lags horribly when trying to load websites.

Still having that disappearing courser problem, tho...

EDIT: Shutdown time = less than 4 seconds, almost exactly 3 seconds. Boot up time = 34 seconds.

System specs: 15" i7 2.3GHz; 4GB RAM; 750 7200RPM HDD.

How about the EFI performance issue with the rMBP? And the slow shutting down issue? Anyone notice whether those issues were resolved?

An SMC reset worked for me; performance actually improved compared to pre-update state after said reset.

I dunno, but ever since i updated to 10.8.2, my MBP takes longer now to always shut down, dislaying the spinner at the bottom of the screen.
