can we finally swipe back in finder ?

I too cannot find it. I have three Macs to update and I don’t want to download it three times via the App Store. Only 10.9.3 is shown. Come on Apple wake up!

Bit late response, you don't need to download it several times, the update is in your /Library/Updates Folder.
That is, don't allow your mac to restart, it should be there at least until a restart.

You might want to wait a while if you have a 3rd party SSD. My trim support was once again gone with the update and the trim enabler that worked with 10.9.3 doesn't seem to work anymore.

All three Macs updated with the Combo, all appear to be working perfectly. All three have Crucial M500 960GB SSDs but I don't use trim.

If only Microsoft Patch Tuesday worked as well as this. . .

I've had serious wake-from-sleep issues, where the OS would completely crash. I've tweaked settings using pmset, which seemed to lessen the frequency of the issue, but not completely eliminated it. I'm hoping this update makes a difference.

The same to me (black screen), but it has strangely started today

Sleep has been bad for me, unmounting drives incorrectly and when waking up it would just be a black screen, almost like the monitor wasn't turning on.

Just updated. Will see how it goes... Hope it fixes what the wifi issue strangely enough that's been there since I got my rMBP in fall: reconnecting to aknown network often manually as it would simply take too long to connect on its own.

I hope so too. I am tired of wifi not connecting automatically to known networks. It would either take eternity and still won't connect or just show an exclamation on the wifi and I would have to turn wifi off and on to be able to connect to my network manually.

Just ejected my external USB 3.0 drive and it happened instantaneously, it took forever on 10.9.3.

Fortunately Trim Enabler 3.2.2 still seemed to work. Apparently it does some additional magic that the Perl scripts I used before don't.

Does this fix the bluetooth issue with a 2013 rMBP?

I have my MM disconnect and then system preferences crashes until I restart it.

I don't know about the retina, but it does fix the Bluetooth issue on my Air.

I don't know about the retina, but it does fix the Bluetooth issue on my Air.

Is it a 2013?

Did it sound similar to mine? When I tired to reconnect it the menu bar would freeze with the blue highlight even if I just selected "turn off wifi" and if I went to system preferences it would freeze.

Apple today released OS X 10.9.4 after just a month of testing and a month and a half after the release of OS X 10.9.3. The last 10.9.4 developer beta, build 13E25, was released last week.

So what build number does the final release have?

os x 10.9.4 (13e28)

It is the 2013 model.

Well the Air's problem wasn't quite that bad… It just wouldn't connect until the WiFi was power cycled.

os x 10.9.4 (13e28)

Thanks.

On YDP2, will d/l it later.

 

[Zxxv]

whats this **** popped up when it rebooted, clean your mac, consider installing clean your mac. wtf happened. where'd that **** come from?

Thanks.

I never tried the WiFi power cycle, if it happens again i'll try that and then a PRAM reset if all else fails.

Crossing fingers for my 2013 MacPro 12 core with the D700's.

Don't need social networking...

Stability, compatibility is what I need most!

I would pay you to do rendering on that machine for a month or so.

 

[APlotdevice]

Hmm, after testing, I've noticed that WiFi still takes considerably longer to reconnect if the computer is waiting for a signal from my keyboard.
(though it does eventually connect)

OS X 10.9.4 can be downloaded through the software update function in the Mac App Store

A full installer is also available in the mac app store now. You need to download that if you want to make a bootable usb installer for 10.9.4. It is 5.32 GB.

Radio dock playing up after update?

Oops, realised I posted this in the wrong news article

 

[megfilmworks]

Lot's of waking from sleep and spontaneous ejection
of SATA 6 disks when screen saver comes on.
Downloading update now... Hope it helps..

2013 MacPro Waste Basket...
Which I love even with these issues!

 

[thedarkhorse]

Finally, I've been having the exact wifi issue described: won't auto connect to known networks. I've been having to fiddle with turning wifi off and on 1-3 times each time I wake up from sleep to get it to connect. Seems to be working properly now after the update.

Yes 3.2.2 still works for me as well. Was just turned off in the install process.

 

[Traverse]

Well, just had my first Kernel Panic since getting this computer!

Had another one!
