I got message "This software is not supported on your system." I have MBA 2011 model. version 10.7. I used manual install.


Considering it says its for the new MBA and MBP models, thats not at all surprising.

This new update when i try to open the installer I am seeing that it's only for 10.7.4 or higher? I am using the GM of 10.8 (dev account)

I like how the update package contains over 60MB of desktop images and user icons.
I can't think of any remote reason why these would need changing/updating...


Doing a quick check on a 10.7.4 machine without this update, they're identical in size, resolution, everything. I'm also curious what the point for this is.

EDIT: Looking further into the pkg, this seems to update Dock.app and various supporting files, frameworks, and bundles.

It must be very minor updates because I see no difference in the performance of my rMBP since installing it. Still fast, still awesome.

Apparently it doesn't work on Mountain Lion. What do we do if we're on ML?


I'm assuming we do one of two things:
1. Disregard this update because it was already baked in ML GM.
2. Wait until ML actually hits and the updater is updated (theres a funny saying) to support it.
