installed MacBook Pro 2.0 update, and many problems exist!! Mac OS X now continuously asks for "login" keychain permissions; DVDs refuse to eject after pressing the eject button and/or click eject both in DVD player and Finder; the MBP itself seems slow!

MacBook Pro 2.0 update = MISTAKE . . . Problems!

Apple released a new supposedly productive update for the MacBook Pro & MacBook Air (mid 2012) just a few days ago [Nov 8, 2012]. I installed this new 2.0 update, and have encountered far more problems than what it perfectly was prior to the update. For the first time with an Apple product could I say "if its not broke, don't fix it" !! And surely enough I did the opposite..

Since the 2.0 update, my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) now experiences:

an annoying abundance of questions like "MAC OS X WANTS TO ACCESS YOUR "LOGIN" KEYCHAIN 😠
activity monitor now sometimes doesn't work even when the app is active in the dock ⚠
when I play DVDs or any CDs of which, it will not eject both by pressing the button and/or by clicking eject. It comes with a system error (-47) ⚠
the whole performance of my MacBook has seemed sluggish, and somehow uses a lot more RAM since its update 😮

Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing continuous new flaws since the MacBook Pro & Air 2.0 Update !! I have yet to wait and find out what new problems surface as time goes on before something can fix this ridiculous update. One thing for sure is that I will not update anything again until after I have read from legitimate sources and users that these so-called updates are progressive! I hope Apple has some sort of solution for me and whomever else is experiencing problems from this 2.0 update that was released on Nov 8th I believe..

If anyone else has been experiencing problems since the 2.0 update, please leave comments/solutions ~ thanks

Apple, please tell me there's a solution to this terrible update..

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 2.9 GHz i7, 8GB RAM

Hey there.

Had the same problems as you guys. All was fixed after i made a clean reinstall of Mountain Lion and updated again. I just want to let you know that you have a high probability that everything works as intended after you reinstall ML.

Nov 16, 2012 4:34 AM in response to rezss

i just got full installer for ML 10.8.2 (4gb) and I wonder if issue will be fixed once I do fresh install using this full installer?

Nov 16, 2012 6:26 AM in response to rezss

So yesterday I reinstalled Mountain Lion and everything seems fine. From what it sounds like, it's safe for me to reinstall the 2.0 update now? Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Please let us know if a full installation fix the problem...

I had already posted that a full reinstall of ML via recover (CMD+R at boot) fixed all my problems. It should work however you do it but just don't install the 2.0 "patch" after your system is working. That will break things again, according to posts in this thread.

Unless I am misunderstanding, all the recent questions about restoring and patching have been answered previously. Of course, YMMV.

Happy restoring!

BTW, it looks like Apple pulled this update. It's not showing up in the AppStore updates anymore for me. Can anyone else confirm?

Nov 16, 2012 6:57 AM in response to mizzer-d

From rezss's post, it sounds like the 2.0 patch might work after a full reinstall of ML, which is why I asked about it. Regardless, after reinstalling ML I am no longer seeing the 2.0 update as being available from the App Store (it was available last night after I reinstalled), so I wonder if Apple has caught on to the problem...

i have just wasted 3hrs backing up all my files from my MBP before I do the full reinstall of 10.8.2 😠 thanks to 2.0 update... nonsense

It looks like they've taken the update down. I was seeing it in app store before and I'm not anymore.

@whartwell: I didn't see that rezss updated completely after his ML reinstall. Sorry about that.

We all need to keep in mind that most of the "solutions" seem hit-or-miss: what works for one person has probably not worked for others. So there is not an easy answer "does <some solution> work or not?" Reinstalling ML and not updating with the MBP2.0 (irrelevant now since Apple pulled it) appears to work for everyone who has tried. Installing the MBP2.0 update after the ML reinstall is a gamble: it's worked for some and not others. Similarly, fixing disk permissions and keychain first aid has worked for some and not others. In my case, it appeared to work and then the symptoms showed up again later. Fortunately, disk permission and keychain first aid two are "low-impact" fixes with minimal risk of data loss so there is not good reason not try them first (and cross your fingers, toes, and whatever else is nearby).

If one is willing to risk reinstalling ML twice, then they could try installing the update again (again, I know its irrelevant now), but if thier risk tollerance is that "they just need to get some work done and not waste another day on this," (like me) then I'd recommend holding off.

I'll say it again, it appears to be a complex issue without a simple fix, so in any such siutation, your mileage may vary.

Good luck to all. This situation stinks.

The download site is gone too:

http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1609

No explanation why or what is being done (just a 404 error page).

It's fairly unusual for Apple to pull updates, so I guess this one affected far more computers that just ours. Presumably it does help if enough people phone Apple or write on discussion pages like this one...

Nov 16, 2012 11:32 AM in response to mpcnz

Hope they'll fix it soon.
It's getting really unbearable!

:-)

Nov 16, 2012 11:40 AM in response to mpcnz

For some reason I'm still able to access the download site (I'm in Kenya).

The download page exists for me as well, but after a click of download it leads me to a 404. (I'm in San Francisco). And yes, i installed the Update 2.0 after i did a fresh reinstall of ML and everything works well.

Nov 16, 2012 9:59 PM in response to rdiones06

so I just did reformat and reinstall my MBP to 10.8.2 and so far fixed the problem! so I go straight to Appstore for update and I just saw update for safari v6.0.2and itunes v10.7..... wasted my time 😟

clearly Apple didnt test first the new update 2.0 before releasing to public!!!!!! 😠

installed MacBook Pro 2.0 update, and many problems exist!! Mac OS X now continuously asks for "login" keychain permissions; DVDs refuse to eject after pressing the eject button and/or click eject both in DVD player and Finder; the MBP itself seems slow!
