Here's hoping it helps with the RAM hungry Lion?

Downloading now with high hopes!!

10.7.2, unlike 10.7.1, has a large amount of bugfixes and general improvements, including one for nVidia graphics cards.

It also adds some features, like reordering Spaces in Mission Control.

The 10.7.2 update is recommended for all OS X Lion users and includes general operating system fixes that improve the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac. It also includes support for iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that automatically and wirelessly store your content on iCloud and push it to all of your devices. iCloud on OS X Lion includes the following features:
iCloud stores your email, calendars, contacts, Safari bookmarks, and Safari Reading List and automatically pushes them to all your devices.
Back to My Mac provides remote access to your Mac from another Mac anywhere on the Internet.
Find My Mac helps find a missing Mac by locating it on a map and allows you to remotely lock the Mac or wipe all its data.
Getting started with iCloud is easy. After installing the update, OS X will automatically present an iCloud setup panel. Simply enter an existing Apple ID or create a new one and then follow the on screen instructions. To learn more about iCloud visit http://www.apple.com/icloud.

The 10.7.2 update also includes Safari 5.1.1 as well as fixes that:
Allow reordering of desktop spaces and full screen apps in Mission Control.
Enable dragging files between desktop spaces and full screen apps.
Address an issue that causes the menu bar to not appear in full screen apps.
Improve the compatibility of Google contact syncing in Address Book.
Address an issue that causes Keynote to become temporarily unresponsive.
Improve VoiceOver compatibility with Launchpad.
Address an issue that causes a delay in accessing the network after waking from sleep.
Enable booting in to Lion Recovery from a locally attached Time Machine backup drive.
Resolve an issue that causes screen zoom to stop working.
Improve Active Directory integration.

Sounds like a reasonable set of bug fixes.

Apple's servers are feeling the full brunt of the demand. iOS 5 was speedy, but 10.7.2 is taking forever.... It is saying it is going to be finished in 2 hours!!!!

chucker · 2011-10-12, 13:09

Aw man. After long, slow, agonizing downloading:

The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.

Don't see that often.

I'm having it the other way around. 10.7.2 downloaded in a few minutes, but iOS is presently 2 hours away according to iTunes and I've already been downloading it for half an hour.

nikstar101 · 2011-10-12, 13:29

Has anyone found it via Apple's download page? As it seems that it can only be downloaded via the software updater at the moment.

chucker · 2011-10-12, 13:31

support.apple.com/kb seems to be getting slammed, too.

I wouldn't mind betting I do. If my experience with the Lion update is anything to go by!!

thegeriatric · 2011-10-12, 14:09

Well Feck me, it did it on the lion recovery part just as i finished typing the above post, but did carry on with the 10.7.2 install successfully.

Oh well 1 out of 2 aint bad.

Off now to try again.

julesstoop · 2011-10-12, 14:20

Still no fix for the annoying behaviour of full screen apps when using a multiple monitor setup.

PB PM · 2011-10-12, 14:27

Updates installed, all seems to be okay.

thegeriatric · 2011-10-12, 15:42

All updates now installed and so far so good, RAM looks to be a bit better but too early to tell.

jcoley2 · 2011-10-12, 15:58

I hope this fixes the screen freezing overnight with then tile pictures screen saver. It seems to be related to Parallels but I am not sure.

Wasn't up earlier.

10.7.2
10.7.2 Combo
10.7.2 Server Combo
10.7.2 Server

Ryan · 2011-10-12, 17:55

Seriously?

edit: Strange. Using Software Update I get a few kb/s but if I use the download on Apple’s website I’m getting 1.2 MB/s.

Jason · 2011-10-12, 20:26

I haven't bothered with any of the updates yet. Well, I tried but gave up. I'm on a 1GB fibre connection and yet time to download was 22 hours.

FFL · 2011-10-12, 20:27

I managed to directly download the 10.7.2 combo updater and install it, but Lion Recovery Update and iTunes 10.5 are uselessly slow, both with direct download and SW Update.

thegeriatric · 2011-10-13, 05:10

Well, after extensive use, i can now report memory problems are much less than they were, making the Lion useable and for most of the time teh snappy.

Maybe that RAM upgrade wont be necessary after all.

Miko · 2011-10-13, 07:59

Just updated to 10.7.2 all things seem good on my end.

This also has me wondering if we may see Siri land on the Mac at some point? I think it would make sense, all the systems are in place for the most part. The Geo-location may not be as accurate due to the fact that the Macs don't have GPS and a compass, but still...hitting the closest WiFi tower should work fine.

A reasonable perspective on the matter: Siri is iPhone 4S-only today; where will it be tomorrow?

Miko · 2011-10-13, 09:05

Good read. Thanks.

thegeriatric · 2011-10-14, 04:29

I have just noticed having updated an app, that the App store now allows you to remove a previously installed or even an installed app from the list.

Hover over it and a X comes up to the left . Nice.
