After update to 10.8.3 - I have problems MBP MD101

Hello All.

I would like to consult with knowledgeable people.

I have MacBook Pro MD101 / 16GB RAM / 512 MB SSD Crucial M4 (OS) / 1 TB WD Blue (for any data (in optibay) / Intel HD4000 (integrated video card).

10.8.2 was installed, it worked fine.

I try installed via App Store OS X 10.8.3.

Everything was normal. Several times rebooted Mac, several times "sleep / wake up."

But then the problems started:

1. After rebooting most of the programs will not run. For example: Total Finder, Finder, Thunderbird and even "Console" and Terminal is Crashed. Accidentally managed to "catch" the error log "fall" of the console (if need, I can posted it).

2. After rebooting I have more problems with the graphics of GUI.

Examples - attached.

This is not my first failed attempt to update to 10.8.3 and therefore is not the first time something is not clear.

After installation tried many different ways, eg delete caches, reset of SMC, delete the some programs, fix the right (on disks) on the disk utility, check the disk, and so on.

I have another MacBook Pro 13 2010 (with nVidia 320M and Core 2 Duo 2,6), and so it works perfectly normal on 10.8.3.

That suggest?

Please Sorry for my English....

Best Regards

Jim from Moscow

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

There have been several posts of people having problems with third-party SSD drives. You might check their site for firmware updates.

The graphical artifacts may be due to overheating from your unsupported hardware configuration.

What kind of unsupported equipment you say? What you mean? And why is it happens only with 10.8.3?

While your screenshots seem to point to a faullty GPU, you may be having problems with the update from the App Store itself. Try downloading and installing the Combo 10.8.3 updater and see if that will make a difference.

BTW: I, too have a Crucial m4 SSD and 16GB of RAM in my late 2011 15" and have never had any sort of 'overheating' problem - quite the opposite - the SSD is much 'cooler' than a spinning drive.

Thanks for the advice.

I'll do it.

If possible, write to me: what the difference between update OS from Appstore and combo update?

Thanks advance

The App Store 'version' is usually machine-specific whereas the Combo update is not machine specific and will install up to 10.8.3 even on a machine running 10.8. It's a larger package but more complete.

Give it a shot - call back if it doesn't fix the display problem.
