Apple Releases OS X 10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0

Just a few weeks following the release of OS X 10.8.5, Apple has already issued the first supplemental update for the new OS X version. The update is intended to fix issues with the FaceTime HD camera on certain systems, and an issue affecting how drives are ejected when your Mac sleeps, among others.

  • Fixes an issue that may cause external drives to be ejected after the computer goes to sleep
  • Addresses an issue that may prevent HDMI audio from working after waking from sleep
  • Fixes an issue that may prevent certain USB Bluetooth adapters from working
