Apple Releases Supplemental Security Update for OS X El Capitan

Man 10.11.6 is running fine on my 12" rMB do I want to rattle the bee's nest ?

 

It's a security update, not a feature change.
Yes, folks should apply the patch.

 

Ugh, ANOTHER security update? Can't apple EVER get ANYTHING right?

 

Finally!! Too bad the prior version of this update is making my iMac run so priorly that I am unable to install the new version...

 

Huh. This has been happening to me, but I assumed there was a hardware problem starting to rear its ugly head on my 2015 MBP. Hopefully this is the issue instead!

 

I've been having this problem on my 2011 27" iMac, and I certainly hope this fixes it!

 

Perfect timing for me - this freeze happened to me and now my computers running el cap are running without issue

certainly recommended for all El Capitan users.

 

Fortunately, neither my cMBP nor my Wife's (both 13" Early 2011) ran into problems after the original update.. Gotta get home in order to check those fixes.

 

No. Wait until you crash, lose your data, scream so loud you have a stroke, and then update.

Aren't there any reasonable apple users that don't moan and groan the same anti apple stuff every time the slightest little thing happens? And why don't you move to Windows and receive those very other day updates? That will give you lots to complain about.

I understand how complex computers have become and how hard it can be to prevent issues. I applaud Apple for what they do. I deplore users who love to complain for the sake of complaining. They should be banned from using Apple products, which frankly, are too good for them.

 

I think you may have missed the obvious sarcasm in his post.

 

Is Apple still supporting Mavericks with any security updates if needed?

 

Not anymore. The oldest one still supported as such is yosemite, which will probably cease when macOS 10.13 is released.

But this El Capitan one updates the build number from 15G1212 to 15G1217.

 

Please let it fix this issue!

patch installed on 2010 MBP 13. Running fine after reboot....

 

Yea! Another update for my Mac Pro!

 

I'm almost certain this is exactly what the patch fixes. I updated a few hours ago and so far, no more freezes. Fingers crossed.

 

This bug affected nearly my entire facility, but it wasn't obvious for a few weeks due to the holiday break. Glad Apple found and pushed out the fix in a fairly reasonable timeframe.

Now, I have to wait for Nvidia to update their web drivers for my un-flashed graphics cards before I can actually deploy this fix. At least the nMP's and the laptops don't have to wait.

 

Smilies were invented to add some subtlety to online written communications. In this case, they communicate sarcasm and the emojis used were correctly employed.

Next time, when a contributor includes emojis, think about what made them consciously decide to include those in the post.

As a matter of fact, MORE people here should use emojis since there are a large number of readers for whom English is not their first language.

Thank you for reading.

 

No update for my 2010 mini. Guess it's time to upgrade....

 

I got lucky and had no issues with the original 003, and WatchOS 3.1.1.

Guess it's time to tempt fate one more time...

 

It wasn't very obvious.

 

Aren't there any reasonable apple users that don't moan and groan the same anti sarcasm stuff every time the tiniest little emoji is used?

I understand how complex sarcasm has become and how hard it can be to spot and decipher emojis. I applaud sarcastic macrumors Users for what they do. I deplore users who love to complain for the sake of not spotting emojis. They should be banned from posting to forums, which frankly, sometimes contain good satire which makes you laugh and that, too, is good for them.

sorry, couldn't resist ;-)

Edit: Sorry, forgot the obEmoji

 

This update does apply to the 2010 Mini.

 

Only if you missed the two emojis; for native English speakers, the extremely the silly tone helped as well.
