MacBook Pro (2007) 3,1 & 10.8.5 freezing

...and your arrogance and erroneous assumptions and finger pointing provides one a keen insight regarding your character as well.

Oh how clever...you now have resorted and have stooped to what I would imagine to be your common low level self while spefically calling me a liar. And furthermore, it is not that there is nothing you can learn from me, your irratation is due from the fact that either you cannot leech from me or you lack the competence to take the signficant amount of direction I have offered so far and figure it out for yourself. Either way you are about as relavent as my the need for an offical OS X 10.8.5 fix from Apple.

My bottom line is simply this: I too was merely a victim with the current Apple OS X 10.8.5 release not functioning on my MacBook Pro. Since that time I have taken it upon myself and have proven beyond a shadow of doubt that A.) the issue lies within the software itself and B.) the software can be fixed to work on this specific laptop without issue. If that is not putting forth and doing my own due dilegence regarding this matter as each of these aspects are undeniably significant within their own right, then I do not know what is.

Where I draw the line however is (and as I have reiterated time and time again) that Apple employs a large staff and pays them handsomely to create and produce each given software release. Given all that I have uncovered and have supplied them with, I would imagine that an official release containing all the necessary fixes would be easy as cake for the professionals to produce at this juncture. Will I go the extra mile in essentally spoon feeding exactly what needs to be performed in fixing OS X 10.8.5 ?...not on your life or more specifically not gratis. The fact of the matter is that I should not have had to go through such extensive measues in order to create a working/functional version of OS X 10.8.5 for my MacBook Pro. And truth be told neither should any of you. Everyone and anyone who is being effected by this issue should be redirecting their anger on the folks that produced this disfunctional software in the first place. I am not the culprit in this scenario. I am merely a victim just like all of you who got tired of waiting and took matters into my own hands...no more, no less.

An additional suggestion by the way to all whom this applies and just for future reference, the next time you enter into situation and approach a complete stranger with your hand out who owes you absolutely nothing, you might want to alter your strategy and refrain from making disparaging remarks and lose the condescending tone if your expectations are to evoke the spirit of generosity in that individual. Just sayin'...

I am not going to get involved in an exchange of crude, immature name calling. You are simply way over the top and your venomous remarks indicate to me that you are the type of individual that I personally want nothing to do with. You also have exhibited a highly distorted and warped propensity to blow matters WAY out of proportion in equating your inability to run OS X 10.8.5 with some life or death matter. Hint: come to back to reality and gain a proper perspective. If your MacBook is operating/functioning properly, OS X 10.8.4 should run perfectly fine. And yes I am admittedly unaffected by the pain and suffering you are having to endure because you are having to resort to running OS X 10.8.4.

I have supplied everyone here with enough "ammunition" where anyone should now go back to Apple, the true culprit in this matter, and in a persistent fashion, demand that they fix it. Yet instead of possessing the courage and fortitude in attacking the second most profitable corporation in the entire world and the source responsible for your plight, you instead prefer to berate and gang up on me. And that critical personality flaw, the tendency to bully and act out against others who are as powerless yet despite being faced with the same adversity persevered and made good in there particular situation, is one that I both despise and utterly loathe and furthermore simply will and do not tolerate.

Learn to be self sufficient and go attack the company that has already profited from your business and get a clue that that entity is not and nor will it ever be me.

On a brighter note, I do appreciate the kind words and expressed appreciation for the work I have put forth from the vast majority of people experiencing this same issue yet understand the importance in taking a proactive approach with Apple directly. I sincerely hope that your persistence pays off and that an official fix arrives soon.

As this concept seems impossible for some to comprehend, I will spell it out for you. Apple seemingly now possesses a considerable amount of indifference in producing software updates that are equally compatible with older, out of warranty Macs as their hot new current models. It used to be the case that when you owned a compatible machine...say a compatible OS X 10.5 Leopard Mac, each and every release worked with that Mac all the way up to the final OS X 10.5.8 release By letting them get away with their present "Let them eat cake" mentality, I guarantee that they will release more and more updates just like OS X 10.8.5 that arbitrarily leaves out a whole slew of "vintage" Macs at their discretion. This policy is completely ludicrous and yet why doesn't anyone else seem very concerned about this apparent trend ? What is the publics fear in holding Apple accountable and demanding that this matter be rectified immediately ? I expect nothing less then to be able to download a given update for which I possess a license for, install it and be on my way just as the folks with 2013 machines are able to do. The precedent I see establishing, is that I will have to now have to spend hours and/or days manipulating kext and/or framework folder or files on my own accord in order to get updates to function properly on my older Macs. This is completely and totally unacceptable !!!
