After months of beta testing, 10.8.3 is finally out in the world. Downloadable through Mountain Lion’s Software Update feature or from the Apple Web site.
Changes include:
- The ability to redeem iTunes gift cards in the Mac App Store using your Mac’s built-in camera
- Boot Camp support for installing Windows 8
- Boot Camp support for Macs with a 3TB hard drive
- A fix for an issue that could cause a file URL to quit apps unexpectedly
- A fix for an issue that may cause Logic Pro to become unresponsive when using certain plug-ins
- A fix for an issue that may cause audio to stutter on 2011 iMacs
- Includes Safari 6.0.3
I did the update, but I don’t see the option to use gift cards via the camera. Is it because I’m using a Logitech Webcam with a Mac Mini and not a built in iMac camera?
Quite possibly yes. If the logitech doesn’t have the driver support, if it’s not quite HD enough to capture the barcode.
If you’re outside the US then it probably doesn’t work, if it’s anything like the iTunes gift card redeem. If I switch to a US account it works in iTunes. No idea why this feature seems to be region specific.
Safari is so much snappier now!
(The “joke” loses even the trace of humour when it’s true.)
It works for the Canada store, too.
they failed to fix the flashing when your open a macbook from sleep.
