Apple Releases OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update 2.0

714 kB for me.

Fascinating.

Oh! Safari feels.... yeah...

And when is 10.8.3 coming? 10.8.2, with its endless mdworker, sandboxing and wake-from-sleep issues is probably the worst ever 10.x.x release from Apple.

you say that about every new update. you're such a negative nancy.

An update during their week off? Do I detect a faint hope of an imminent iTunes?

No. No, I don't.

Image (https://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2012/11/NewImage28.png)Apple has released a minor update to OS X Mountain Lion, fixing "an issue with Keychain that can affect 2012 Mac systems." The update weighs in at 26.65MB and can be downloaded through Apple's support site (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1611) or the Mac App Store.
Apple previously released OS X v10.8.2 Supplemental Update 1.0 at the beginning of October (https://www.macrumors.com/2012/10/04/apple-releases-os-x-10-8-2-supplemental-update/).

I want them to fix all of the rMBP's graphical glitches!

"supplemental update" reminds me to Windows

Don't have any 2012 Macs. All is well. ;)

This update is for late 2012 models only, e.g. the new Mini, the 13" rMBP and the - as of yet - unreleased new iMac, who already received the "faulty" 10.8.2 update. Apple pulled the 10.8.2 update last Friday because of these issue essentially leaving everybody who purchased a new system on the weekend in the cold because those systems are only running 10.8.1. You might not think this is serious, but everybody who restored from a 10.8.2 Time Machine backup is getting screwed because you can't use iPhoto, Aperture, iMovie and iMessage anymore.

Apple has yet to release a 10.8.2 update for all those people on new machines running 10.8.1. Common Apple we really need our productivity Apps running again! :mad::mad::mad:

714 kB for me.

I'm not sure if I'm imagining it or not, but my 15" rMBP seems to be experiencing fewer errors and better battery life after this update.

Does Safari feel snappier?

The problem here is that Apple introduced Airs and 15" retinas and 15" non-retina Macbook Pros in 2012. Those machines run the plain old 10.8.2 update which is still available, and this supplemental update does not seem to apply to them, in spite of what Apple says.

Ok I think we need to understand here are two issues at work, hence my disappointment with MacRumors, that they didn't even bother to mention both issues:

[LIST=1]
* New 2012 Mac minis, new 2012 13" retina MacBook Pros and new (as of yet) unreleased 2012 iMacs that have been purchased after the update to 10.8.2 has been pulled on 16th of October are still waiting for Apple to puplish a proper update to 10.8.2 - we can't use iPhoto, Aperture, iMessage, iMovie, etc. at the moment, which I think is a much bigger issue, because this quite simply renders users who depend on those programms for work without a working machine.
* The supplemental update for everybody (especially owners of 2012 machines), which was supposed to fix the issues Apple discovered to be inherant with the pulled 10.8.2 update, does in fact not fix all the issues people are having.


I called Apple for the first issues and they are supposedly working on it. According to the nice lady, the proper 10.8.2 update is due next week. Unfortunately my patience is growing strong, because I only have a 14 day return window and if worse comes to worse I'll just have to take the machine back. While the hardware is running perfect, the software is not and Apple does not even care to post a statement why I can't use my productivity apps or when I can expect full functionality restored. This is not the proper way to treat customers, especially if they run a business or something like that. At least you need a time frame to work with.
