Earlier today Apple rolled out their latest OS X 10.7.3 update for Mac systems.
But after a few hours of use it now looks like the update is causing
problems for a number of users. Shortly after its release a number of
users started posting on the Apple support forums with problems ranging
from nothing working at all, to problems being encountered with the
10.7.3 delta updater is
resulting in app crashes.
However most users including myself, who have updated to the new OS X 10.7.3
update have not experienced any strange effects. If you are having
problem before you jump to your Time Machine backup, Apple support
boards are suggesting using the the OS X 10.7.3 Combo Updater to
resolve the problem, by installing it whilst in safe mode. hold down
“shift” during startup until the desktop or login window appears). Full
instructions on how to carry out the fix have been detailed on the TUAW website.
The OS X Lion 10.7.3 update has been
created to bring with it support for a range of new languages, which
include Catalan, Croatian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Slovak, Thai, and
Ukrainian, as well as a range of bug fixes and performance tweaks.
