No mention of nVidia related kernel panics on 2010 MacBook Pros? This is a huge issue for me. Daily crashes.
I don’t mind doing an update but I’m confused as to why this isn’t available via the Mac App Store.

Yeah, we had a lot of crashes on it at my place. The designers were all in a tizzy!

Me too. It happens numerous times a day…. I’m hoping that this is fixed inside this though…
You would prefer redownloading the entire operating system?
I just p a i d $21.87 for an i P a d 2-64GB and my boyfriend loves his Panasonîc Lumîx GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS.I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $657 which only cost me $62.81 to buy.
Here is the website we use to get it all from,

This update resolved the sleep issue on my new Macbook Pro. Now goes to sleep as expected with the power cord plugged in.Â
Has there ever been an OS X update that didn’t claim to fix flaky wi-fi?

It also fixes the problem (I don’t know if it happened to you, but it often happened to me and was  quite annoying) that when you play music in iTunes, audio from any other source gets automatically blocked out, whether it be QuickTime, Flash, HTML5 videos, or mere system sound effects, and the only solution was a restart.Â
I have a PANASONIC HPX170P that can longer be seen using MAC OS X (LION) 10.7.1. What can I do to get this to work?
