Hi Reinstalling the whole system is NOT the only solution to fix the problem. If you have the luck to have a second Mac computer with a firewire port, you can start the bricked Mac into TARGET MODE (pressing 'T' before the start-up chime). Then, on the spare Mac, you download from Apple website the lasted Compbo System Update for Lion 10.7.4. You will run the Combo System Update installation specifying as target the mounted volume of the bricked Mac. That will fix the installation of unfortunate Mac Side effect: it will over-write all the Apple updates released after the Combo System Update 10.7.4. Fix: just run Software Update Hope this is helpful for many has it's been for me. regards Marco http://www.marcomc.com

Pues solo comentar que a mi me sucedio y despues de tanto buscar y preguntar, encontre la solucion dandole en el arranque comando + R hasta que aparece la ventana de reinstalacion, seleccione Lion y de ahi en adelante todo el proceso y tiempo que se requiere para bajar e instalar; un poco desesperante por el tiempo de bajada pero bien valio la pena!!!!! Ahora como si nada, mi maquina corriendo al 100%

Well, the article did say that a 'handful' people had a problem with the update, vs the hundreds of thousands (my guess) who installed it. So I'm not surprised that people in here haven't seen a problem.

i don't seem to have any problems after installing the update as i have restarted 3-4 times after that update was officially released yesterday. :)

Hey Geoffrey you Fuckwit, I think it's well beyond time you ceased masquerading as other people and started posting under your OWN name; you don't even have the IQ to mimic my own writing style, let alone my forum handle. PATHETIC you are.
