Oh oh! The sky is falling, 10.7.4 has been released!

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465 has the latest resources for updating to 10.7. With 10.7.4 each of those will have to get up to date information about 10.7.4's compatibility. But the most important thing to remember when updating to any operating system............

Backup your data now!

And remember just because there is an update, you don't have to apply it. Apply it when your other software is ready.

Mac OS X (10.7.3), * Links may give me compensation

So true, except for one thing, you can't determine the nature of a dirty system without first backing up. If issues compound themselves after an update, reverting to your backup should always be your first option, and then examining the system for issues on your system is the next one, while always keeping at least a backup handy, preferably two. That way, if the system is problematic, you have a chance to isolate it without impacting your critical data.

Never update anything until you have done the following.


1) Backup your computer completely (this will allow you to go back).


2) Research the update. Find out why it has been released and the bugs it is supposed to fix.


Updates are not always improvements. Sometimes features and capabilities get removed or new bugs are created.


My general advice is, if your system is working, don't update anything.


Also with some updates it is impossible or difficult to go backwards (iPhone). Never apply these updates until forced to do so.

ℹI know that apple have released a rubbish version of mac that has problemos with internet sharing 😟

so here is da answer 😀

1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences

2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop

3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to

then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works 🙂

then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed 😠

please use da steps! 😎
