Apple Releases OS X 10.9.2 With Fix for Major SSL Vulnerability, FaceTime Audio

Yes

Did it ask anyone else to set up iCloud again and then say the computer was set up as if it had done a reinstall?

For me it went to a grey screen with the App Store icon where it installed, then restarted and continued installing, and then asked me to log into iCloud and something else I forget. All my data is on the computer still, at least from what I can tell, but it seems like a few settings may have changed.

I can't remember a .1 update saying your computer has now been set up, as if I had done a reinstall, before.

Yes, I had this screen asking me to set up iCloud. I don't remember seeing that before. Only on my iPad and iPhone.

Mail SEEMS to work much better. I had constant errors with Gmail accounts, which I didn't have on the iPad. These appear to be gone.
 
Waiting for Apple

Well, people are critical because the use their computers for critical stuff.
Not all of us have the freedom to tell our employers or customers that we have taken some days off, while we are waiting for Apple to fix our tools of the trade...

Be creative, improvise.. listen to the advice what to avoid til a fix is found.. I can assure you most people still got their work done.. Using public not secure networks/ wi-fi is hardly the place to do the kind of work where security matters, or to use a credit card, or to visit banking web sites.

Can I have some of what you are smoking?

Same here. MBP asked for details it already has, Mac mini didn't. Both work fine, so I'm not that fussed!
 
Sorry, when you said Console I thought you meant the Terminal. You were talking about the app showing system messages, right ?

KoolAid-Drink said:
Huh? You aren't making any sense.

a) There is no "Settings|Settings" in the menu at all in Console.app. There only is Preferences, and nowhere does it say anything about window arrangements/settings.

b) You may have misunderstood my post. The point I was trying to raise is that when I go to Console.app, the window opens in the default 'small' size, and when I resize the window to make it bigger, then quit the app with the whole window resized to a bigger size, then... when I open the app again, the window has defaulted back to its original size. It does not remember or retain the window size. The expected behavior should be that when you resize a window, then quit the app, upon relaunch, the app should remember the new window size. This behavior applies to Safari, iMessage, Notes, TextEdit, and pretty much all the built-in apps that are resizable.

To test this behavior on 10.9.2, open Console, widen the window (or make it taller, doesn't matter), quit, then reopen Console. You should see that the window does not retain your resized parameters.

Make sense?

Before posting, how about you actually take the time to see if they did update iOS 6 with this fix. They updated both iOS 6 and 7 at the same time with the same fix 4 days ago.
 
My wifi no my late 2013 rMBP is FINALLY fixed. No longer disconnects every 30 seconds or so. My computer is finally usable again!
 
So far the update has been running incredibly smooth on my 2012 15" cMBP. However, the social network buttons in notification centre have disappeared completely and I can't seem to get them back. Thoughts? Solutions? :confused:

EDIT: They're back! That was weird.

Is that a bug or a feature? It's been doing that for, what, a year or so now?

If it wasn't for the convenience of iCloud bookmarks and iCloud Keychain offsetting the annoyance of this dumb feature, I'd have abandoned Safari long ago.

Maybe it's Apple's attempt to rig browser usage stats in favour of Safari, by boosting the number of page views?

It's a bug and is annoying as hell. Kill it already, Apple!! :mad:
 
Battery Lasts Longer

Interesting... I have no issue with my wifi on my 2013 15" MBP (max specs) but I have been getting constant disconnects on my work network VPN via Parallels + Win7. Hopefully this helps...
 
Hey guys--could really use some help.

I've never been someone who's always needs to upgrade to the latest and greatest of really anything. So, I bought my iMac in 2009 and currently have 10.6.8 Lion.

After hearing all this stuff about security breaches and SSL with Maverick, and knowing that updates for Maverick have come out (as they have for 10.7 Lion, I think), I have a question and need advice:

For the sake of being a little more secure, what would you recommend:

1) Stick with 10.6.8, and just use Google Chrome
2) Pay $20 and upgrade to 10.7 Lion?
3) Upgrade to Maverick (assuming my computer meets the requirements, which I haven't looked into)?
4) Another suggestion?

Thanks guys.
 
I'm having a different issue with Mail. Since the update to 10.9.2, when I click on the alert / banner for an email, it opens in a new window. I keep the Mail app open in full screen space. I used to be able to click the alert and it would slide to the Mail app.

Is this no longer an option? I looked through the preferences for Mail and Notifications and couldn't find anything.
 
I can confirm that the Nvidia drivers are UNTOUCHED, STILL OUTDATED.

Same old 31x.x version....

Stick with 10.6.8, and just use Google Chrome (for me it's only for Flash, the rest still on Safari 5.1 and loving it)... :D:D

Just ignore it and keep doing what you are doing... it really isn't anything that someone will actually exploit on you.

Lion isn't affected.

Mavericks requirements

If you bought from in an Apple store in 2009 you're good, if you got it elsewhere or in Apple's refurb store I'd double-check the model before attempting.

I wouldn't upgrade to Lion and just stay there...you're probably better off where you are now, but Mavericks is a good upgrade.

Disclaimer: YMMV

OK, thank you, guys. I just wasn't quite sure if having an old and out of date operating system made me actually more vulnerable, even if it was on Lion.

Mavericks (10.9-10.9.1) is the only version that had that security issue.
Now fixed in 10.9.2.
You could argue that Google Chrome is "insecure" considering the tracking and data mining the company does, not to mention the invasive additions they add to your system. Use Chromium to fix that (available on macupdate,com etc.), as it has the same base without the "extras".
Mavericks will work on older systems, but it really needs as much RAM as you can give it (8-16GB if possible).
 
MBPr 15inch: Has anyone noticed major lagging after installing this update?

After I installed this update, my external monitor really began acting up. Switching from desktop to desktop is super choppy and the mouse seems to be slower as well. I'm not sure what happened, only that I installed this update, then Spotlight took forever to re-index and ever since my computer restarted to install the update, it just hasn't been working nearly as smooth.

I'm currently trying to restore an old image of my mac using Time Machine and then I guess I'll try to reinstall this update.
 
Mail crashes all the time

Do any of you have this crashing mail thing happening? I do :mad:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/24985855

After upgrading, Mail showed me an "Upgrading" dialog, but its progress bar stalled with nothing happening, so I force quit it about after 30 minutes and then restarted Mavericks.

But Mail crashes all the time on launch afterwards. Please help me if you have any clue...
