CUI CUI CUI error 10.7.3 all apps crashes

Results in the same exact XXX cut cut cut issue. Thanks.

jamriman can't read!

A solution that doesn't work for me and many others!! We tried it!!

Please be more specific with your issue, methd of update and system. That way we may be in a positon to help.

I downloaded the combo update from 10.7.2 and installed. Upon reboot to finish install it booted up with the same issue. Can't open any apps, XXX issue. Thanks for trying to help.

I am also have this annoying experience.

My Mac is a Pro 15" from 2010. I can't even get into System or Finder and, worst, time machine.

Nothing works.

jamriman, you are not helping yourself with such terse posts? Your welcome. What are you going to do, sit and watch a CUI Screen?

Huh? I restored from time machine backup but still on 10.7.2. Terse comments are justified in this situation.

Well if have a back up reinstall Lion from the install partition apply combo and then import from Time Machine. By the way best practice is a clone backup to external drive.

I'll try it. Many thanks for the info and clone tip!!

I used an sd card but it could be done with any external drive with at least 6gb. Just make sure there's nothing on it you don't want to lose.

And I'm back up and running now.

So, tech support told you that as of today the update available has been fixed and it won't cause the problem, is that right?

No problems after upgrading. I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro 17".

My Macmini did the same...only solution for me was to restore from backup, a waste of 9 hours! Apple has lost my trust...

Same problem!!!!! even I never seen the Finder window after update.
