Same problem here, worked no problem on my i5 iMac, but I updated my Macbook Pro using the software update feature; machine is pretty much INOP.  Apple? When are you going to take this BS update down?! I hope you have a fix for this like now!  Let me guess, you are going to act like there no problem until 90 percent of the community complains right?

Updated two Macs with Combo Update with no problems. Really like this update and Lion. Restore from your backup and Apply the Combo Update from Apple Support and Downloads.

Same problem for me here, on my Air 2011. Had to restore from TM (at least I did a backup before the update). After restoring to 10.7.2 and getting the combo, it worked like a charm. All apps and extensions are working without additional upgrades, so the error does not seem to be a specific extension (like Total Finder or Moom).

I am not buying the explanation to install from Combo. Most people, being used to "It Just Works", will dully upgade from the online package as advised by the System Upgrade utility, not go download things from Apple and mess around (they would be Linux users if they would like doing that...).

This was simply poor testing and it is another lesson not to jump on an update right after the release...

Glad the combo works for some of you guys, but the rest of us want a solid solution from Apple!

I had the same problem using a MacBook Pro 15" i7.

Your solution worked for me.

Thanks!

Hi,

but if the system are not able to start slow ? it stops immediantly after crash message.

I got no influence at all to do anything!

The backup was installed, I got some connections via firewire with my iBook, just to see if it is everything on the HD. it looks perfect ;-)

But how I`m able to install a combo on this system or anything else ?

Thats my first time that I`m confuse about Apple....

If you have any idea, dont hesitate to tell me.

By the way both of my iBooks updated as usual without any problem

Ciao

Same problem. Updated from software update. My machine is useless now. will Have to restore from time machine.

Tricked again into thinking this wasn't a beta update!

So it seems like if you haven't update DON'T until Apple fixes the issue.

Glad the combo works for some of you guys, but the rest of us want a solid solution from Apple!

Combo-Update is a solution from Apple!

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

What's happening when you use the combo update? Are you getting the same CUI errors? Or something else? Or just not able to update?

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.

Got a simple question, folks.

Is it or is it not safe to update from 10.7.2 with the combo update?
