Apple releases OS X 10.8.3 with Boot Camp additions, bug fixes, and Safari 6.0.3
After months of betas, Apple on Thursday at long last released Mac OS X 10.8.3, its latest incremental update to Mountain Lion. Whether the update was worth the wait depends on what you care about. Like new versions of Safari, Boot Camp improvements, and audio fixes? You’re in luck.
Boot Camp fans can now install Windows 8, and Macs with 3TB hard drives are supported for Boot Camp, too. The Mac App Store gains the ability to redeem iTunes gift cards with your Mac’s built-in camera, mirroring a feature already offered in iTunes proper. Another app-specific fix comes to Logic Pro, which should no longer become unresponsive when using certain plug-ins.
An issue that could cause audio stuttering on 2011 iMacs is fixed, as is an issue where File:/// URLs could make apps crash.
Other bugs addressed include an issue with printing Contacts, bugs with changing desktop pictures, and a flaw where Messages could show messages out of order when waking from sleep. Issues with Notes and its IMAP handling are addressed, as is Mail’s handling of Exchange accounts. Several networking improvements are included, too.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
