Apple on Thursday released two supplemental updates, one for OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, which brings fixes for three issues, and another for the legacy OS X 10.7.5 Lion, which solves two problems.
As relatively minor releases, supplemental updates serve as stopgaps between major version changes and sometimes include time-sensitive issue resolutions.

From the release notes:
The OS X v10.8.2 Supplemental Update is recommneded for all users running oS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and includes the following fixes:
- Resolves an issue that may cause certain Japanese characters to appear incorrectly in Mail
- Allows Safari to access secure sites when parental controls are enabled
- Addresses an issue that may prevent systems with more than 64 GB of RAM from starting up
The update weighs in at 27.35MB and can be downloaded via the Mac App Store's Updates section. As a note, users will be prompted to restart their machines after updating.

Hmm… still don't see it, though Aperture 3.4.1 just showed up, despite having installed it a week ago…
Did we ever get an article on iPhoto 9.4.1 when it came out, then? Because it's out now, too.
I still don't understand how we knew or expected it before that happened.
Just updated my mid 2011 13" MBA. First I've seen of the iPhone 9.4.1 update also. It was dated 10/01/12.. but I certainly didnt see it before today.
After installing both updates.. my mail app also reconfigured itself. I guess to support the Japanese characters better.
Always feels so weird to have to reboot my Macbook after installing these updates. Its about the only time my Macbook gets restarted. Coming from the Windows world.. thats always a pretty big difference.
All right! 10.7.5 supplemental update fixed my glacial Time Machine backups on my MacBook.
All very nice and lovely but until there is a wifi fix I am not cheering.
