App Store app downloaded the update fine, requested restart, after OK seemingly installed software. Requested restart again. Came up with a dialog box "Update failed, restart the system". After the system restart it lists as 10.8.2, but App Store app now crashes reliably can not retry install or see status. Anyone else with this?
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
yeah, my wife's 21.5" imac crashed on the reboot, HDD not recogized now. Restoring from a clone as I type.
Same issue on a 21.5" 2010 iMac. Even tried downloading and installing the combo update on Apple's support site but installation failed there as well.
Combo failed for me, full installer failed for me. It's also a 2010.
Same issue here, failed update to 10.8.3. Now showing 10.8.2 in 'About', cannot access any updates from the App Store.
Late 2008 Unibody Macbook.
On my Mac MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) installation of the combo update failed - after the failure message current system is shown as 10.8 3!!!
No problems with app store. Re-downloading the combo update from OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo)and trying the installation routine again did result in the same error message saying that installation had failed.
It was recommended to contact the maker of the software...

same here, crash all apple applications. System show 10.8.3. Try to downloading the combo...
early 2009 macbook pro.
Someone have some idea? Some apple support?
Same issue. Mid 2012 8GB 13 inch MacBook Pro. Mac App Store and Mail both not working. Mac freezing frequently.
My Mail, AppStore are working fine - without a issue.
Same here - downloaded updated from app store, update said if failed install, but all applications seem to work and report as up-to-date, such as 10.8.3 (OS) or 6.0.3 (Safari). Software Update doesn't find an update anymore. This on a 2010 MacBook Pro 17.
I fixed!!!!

update, restart and all work now 🙂 😉
try and let us know
Great to hear! But in my case (see above) Combo Update did not change anything...
Yea, the above didn't work in my case either. I will try that once more and tnd then i'll move on to the following suggestion:
Do take a back up of your data before you go through with this.
That one did not help either:
Neither Disk Utility nor DiskWarrior 4.4 (when booting from a different drive) found anything to be repaired - nevertheless after a "repair" nothing changed when trying to install the Combo Update.
first I have repaired permission and disk with booting with cmd and entered recovery, after repaired permission and disk, installed the combo and all ok for me 🙂
10.8.3 installed just fine on my 2008 iMac, my 2011 MacBook Air, and also on both of my external hard drives and I see no problems. I installed 10.8.3 from the App Store. As I always do, I verified every disk using Disk Utility and I repaired permissions on every disk before I installed the update.
10.8.3 update failed
