Apple Releases OS X 10.8.4 with Safari 6.0.5, iMessage Bug Fix
- Thread starter MacRumors

I can't remember the names, but I found them by going to Activity Monitor and sorting by Virtual Memory used. It was using about 10x my total RAM in virtual memory. I googled the names, learned they were related to the iMessages beta, and killed them.
there are some old and famous bugs of OS X which never seem to get fixed and Apple just swipes the problem under the rug. When will they fix those ?? FOr me personally, the most annoying bug is the disappearance of the mouse pointer in photoshop (and numerous other programs for other users). ANd also the random disconnect from my airport is quite annoying and an well famous bug.

Can you guys check your primary HD free space? I think I was at 200GB of used space and now it's only 170
Your caches probably got cleaned out.
Well, my machine didn't burst into flames.
And no... the shutdown bug still persists. I give up. It's been there so long now the coders must think it's some kind of diagnostic feature left there by their predecessors.
Other than the occasional security update... this is probably it for Mountain Lion folks.
10.8. ---> R.I.P.

Anyone else missing the URL website in Safari 6.0.5? I didn't do the full 10.8.4 install. Just the Safari update.
This happens on my rMBP every single time I go to full screen when watching a movie in iTunes. I have to go to the widgets screen to get the cursor back.
Update: They fixed it! 10.8.4 fixes this.

Every time there has been a major OSX update, there has been a minor update to the previous one around the same time (sometimes even afterwards). I'd be shocked if there isn't a 10.8.5 (if not more). 10.9 beta will go out Monday at WWDC, so my guess would be first 10.8.5 beta later in June.
update?
I am not seeing any update in the App store; software update says I have no update. The version in App store is 10.8.3
Are they rolling this out in stages?

For those with third-party SSD's how did the update affect your TRIM enabler's?
When I updated to 10.8.3 I had to re-enable TRIM on the iMac and MBP. At the time I was using Groth's on both and when I updated the MBP Groth's stopped working, wouldn't turn on TRIM. I installed Chameleon's SSD Optimizer and it was able to turn TRIM back on.
Today both the iMac (Groth's) and MBP (Chameleon) kept TRIM enabled after the 10.8.4 update.

My mid 2012 i7 MBP with SSD has downloaded and installed OS X 10.8.4 with no observable incidents and appears to be operating within normal parameters.
Yep, something's wrong there...
I've been using a 15" Retina at work for a while now, leaving it on overnight attached to dual external displays. (It serves as my desktop system at work, only going mobile with it occasionally - like for business trips.)
So far, I've had absolutely no stability issues with this one. Only app crashes I've ever seen are ones definitely just software related (could happen on any Mac, in other words).
I don't envy you if you've got a system that usually appears fine though, and just suddenly crashes on you at random. Those are the WORST to get repaired. Understandably, the Apple Genius isn't going to have warranty service done if he or she can't duplicate the problem. But those types of problems probably only show up if you spend far more time in front of it than an Apple store staffer is going to do.
If you haven't done so yet though, you might want to back up important data elsewhere first, and just wipe the whole drive, putting a fresh OS X install back on the machine. Use it like that for a while, just web surfing or something, and see if you still run into instability. (Don't restore your documents or apps during this time period. The whole point is to rule out any other potential reasons for your crashes.)

Does this Messages bug fix the problem of old messages just randomly re-appearing? Because that's really annoying and confusing.
Also, I'm not getting my hopes up that the mdworker bug is fixed. But can anyone whose system exhibits that bug report in?

Just double click the spacer between the name column and the next column. It'll automatically resize to fit (10.8.3 does this).
Leopard was horrid for me! Snow leopard was the best mac OS bar tiger ive ever used!
Does anyone know whether this fixes the issue where Safari sometimes doesn't register that you've pressed Return after entering a URL?
Edit: Nope.
