OS X 10.7.3 Update 'CUI Error' Fixable in Many Cases with Combo Version

[jlj1290]

Had to start all over with mine

My MacBook slowed down and applications crashed within 5 minutes of restarting couldn't even get safari to run long enough to download combo update. Luckily I have lion on my USB drive to reinstall. 😡

If Lion were an omelet, the omelet would be woodgrain-colored, the cheese would be on the outside, people with a frying pan over 4 years old wouldn't be able to make it - and those who could would end up throwing up the omelet every day upon waking.

BEST comment EVER!!!!

No issues in my household: new 1-day old mac mini, MB air Thunderbolt ed, iMac 2009.

Updates went fine

So far no problems here. Updated a 2010ish iMac and a late 2008 MBP, without a hitch. Will update my 2011 MBP later tonight.

No problems with Lion or the update on both 2010 Mini and 2010 Air! Both running great!

Seems snappier.

Did any of the beta testers of 10.7.3 experience any of these crashing issues prior to yesterday's release?

 

[strayts]

Not entirely true.

😀

I laughed so hard at this just now. At work.

Haven't had any problems yet.

this kind of crap makes me wonder how long it'll be before we're using ios on our macs. Apple have really just given up with os x now. lion has so far been the worse os x release (both feature and stability wise) over the last 5 years.

how the hell do they let such blatantly obvious bugs slip through...

And the lack of a fix for the php version is worrying. Thats a simple 30 second fix verses a major known security flaw.

Pick it up apple, you're loosing it.

+1

SMB is still broken on both sides...

Zero improvements on SMB:
1. Finder shows "red" minus sign on NAS SMB shares/folders.
2. Enable SMB sharing with Windows is not functional (windows users could not access mac shares), until this option is disabled and enabled after fresh boot.

Everything else seems to work as it used to, may be a tiny bit slower...😕

The "combo update" link in this article doesn't work for me. Looks like Apple may have pulled the update while they investigate? I never thought I'd see this day.

Just tried, it still works.

If you are on Safari and got a 404, try again in Google Chrome.

Nope, the link to the article works fine for me and I started the download of the .dmg file.

Apple uses a content delivery network system for downloads. Most likely the server nearest you is currently oversubscribed.

Try again later.

Technically, the beta testers are under a NDA.

That said, beta testers have a special feedback tool to report system crashes, etc., so if there were massive issues with crashing, I'm guessing they'd have been reported. Also note that because there are often several builds before the final release, the "delta" update may be a bit different from the final one that goes out.

I'll stick with SL thanks....

If I want an iOS experience I'll use my iPad.

Direct link to combo update doesn't work anymore. If it doesn't work in Safari, then IT DOESN'T WORK.

No issuess that I can recognize at this point. No problems with crashes, freezes, slowdowns, etc. Moved to 10.7.3 yesterday via SU on my 2010 iMac and 2011 MBP. Hope this update has somehow solved my issues when waking from sleep mode. Screen didn't freeze or pixelate this morning so I am hopeful. Overall, I have been satisfied with Lion.

BTW, thanks guys. I finally understand the difference between delta vs combo updates.

Wow that's odd. I'm about to update, hope nothing goes wrong!

No one ever points out the million things they do right......

That's true of Microsoft too.

But in an operating system, I want *everything* to work, and be very thoroughly tested.

Is this OSX update worth it or not?

When is the best time to update from OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.3?

Thanks.

 

[blacktape242]

LAME! 😡
