Given that the packages are signed and checksummed, I can only assume that something has been mis-packaged and certain CDN nodes haven't been updated. I downloaded the client delta updater (as I already have 10.7.2) and have had no issues. I'm increasingly convinced this is a release packaging or CDN issue: Software Update downloaded the update 3 times, each time declaring that the package was corrupt and couldn't be installed. 0/.1/.2 release issues, which Apple haven't great at in my experience.

Edit: Not that I'm finding it rubbish, personally. There's not really an excuse for it being rubbish. A lot of Vista's problems came due to a huge technical replumbing of the OS, security etc. It's not really a fair comparison, to my mind.

There is a reason why so many are calling Mac OS 10.7 apple's version of Vista. I am still waiting for a fix for my bluetooth giving up the ghost on me once in a few weeks, requiring me to reboot cause I lose the 'magical' wireless keyboard and mouse. Although their marketing is focused on 'it just works' in reality I think that's more a function of their design of simplified user experience than it is due to some sort of software excellence that others cannot achieve. So I am never surprised when things on my mac don't work. They aren't magical elves that turn everything they touch to gold. They make the same mistakes as everyone else. With so many tech firms in their area there's huge competition for top talent.įrom my own experience the coders who work at apple (the people in the trenches so to speak) as just the same as workers anywhere else. That's really unrealistic considering where they are located. While some of apple's top execs are really good at their jobs, you can't expect the whole company to be filled with only people who are smart and don't make mistakes. Those of us at Ars who have already updated haven't run into these issues yet, but have you?

If you use Time Machine and want to roll back your install altogether, you can do that too before applying the combo update.

Installing the 10.7.3 Combo update-a 1.2GB download from Apple's website-on top of your existing 10.7.3 installation reportedly remedies the problems introduced from Software Update. On the upside, there appears to be an easy (if not somewhat redundant) fix if you've already updated and are seeing these issues. Other users have reported issues with repetitive app crashing and endless progress indicators. (See the image at the top of this post for an example posted from MacRumors.) The CUI error seems to appear in place of buttons and scroll bars, and there's currently a nine-page (and growing) thread on the Apple discussion boards about the problem. The most prominent problem that some users are running into appears to involve a bizarre series of question mark images labeled 'CUI' popping up on various screens and error boxes. But don't worry-you don't have to wait for Apple to issue a fix, as reinstalling with the 10.7.3 Combo updater seems to take care of the various upgrade issues.

There's a reason many of us here at Ars wait a few days (or in some cases, weeks) after an OS update before installing it: reports of problems after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7.3 have begun multiplying since its release on Wednesday afternoon.
