The update can be accessed from the software update tool in the Mac App Store or via Apple's support page.

[Porshuh944turbo]

here goes..

 

[macchiato2009]

i'll wait until Mavericks, tired of ML updates...

 

[AMDeeb]

Safari is.....the same

 

[lcmazza]

And... Permissions from iTunes 11.1.1 are still NOT REPAIRABLE.



Apple should ditch permission repair if it's not important at all.

Any chance of improvements to podcast syncing is welcome. I've been having to repetitively mark episodes as played and remember where I was whenever I switch devices. The syncing works sometimes, but never consistently...

Hope this fixes the problem with my late 2012 iMac taking an age to wake from sleep when it used to be almost instant!

 

[calaverasgrande]

about to try this on my main Mac Pro.
Hope it fixes the disk activity and perms problems!

 

[theloon]

and here it is...drum roll

The slightly better tested QA version of 10.8.5...

Yawn

How long till we have Apple tuesday...

 

[Krazy Bill]

Nobody cares. MacBook Pro leaks please.

The HDMI audio drop on sleep was driving me nuts, I wasn't sure if it was an XBMC problem or hardware issue. Glad they got this fixed. I was rebooting my mac mini every time I wanted to watch tv...

Me too.

Although I'm looking forward to Mavericks, this is a great patch!

10.8.5 Supplement

My late 2012 iMac has same issue with 10.8.5. Seems to be coming out of hibernation, not sleep and also keeps the Apple bluetooth Trackpad from working for a longish time and the Crashplan process from reconnecting quickly also.

Have filed a bug report.

Haven't installed this update yet.

 

[demetr1]

just noticed a dodgy file called 'mach_kernel' on my root drive... wots this all about...? anyone else got this...?

 

[iBug2]

Great, they forgot to make mach_kernel invisible again.

 

[blackburn]

You can fix it with

sudo chflags hidden /mach_kernel

on the terminal

 

[Pndrgnsvc]

Just to clarify…

Does the original MacRumors post above for the Combo Updater contain the Revised 10.8.5 and 1Tunes 11.1.1? Or, is the only way to get the revisions is via Software Update?

 

[Dordt]

Sund issue

Hopefully a correction according sound/audio issue.

Sound Quality

Anyone else have this?
Just updated to 10.8.5 and there is indeed a drop in sound quality. Irritating since I have high quality speakers. I used CC cloner prior to the update and unless they release a mini update to correct the problem soon I will revert back to 10.8.4. Though, I would not hold our collective breath since the bug with CAC cards I was aware of for over 2 years ago and they finally got around to fixing it. I repeatedly sent in bug reports and tried everything under the sun to fix the CAC bug and yet it took well over 2 years to correct.
I will try to reset the PRAM.......


A bit resolved but still tinny sound.
Why is Apple not fully testing these updates?
I'am going to mail Steve Jobs, in order to regain full power over the Apple company!

 

[Squuiid]

Great, they forgot to make mach_kernel invisible again.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH APPLE QA TEAM?! C'mon!

 

[hepsquith]

Damn, does not fix the well documented issue where skype doesn't recognise the Facetime Cam on a new MacBook Air. Anyone have a different experience?

 

[tigres]

Not installing this one.
