I'm running 10.9.1 mavericks right now and its ok, but I heard that its not very secure. And I want to update either to 10.9.2 or 10.9.3 but there seems to be so many issues on this board. I'm mostly worried about no wifi from sleep mode and the mail app not working properly. I really need these two to work, how wide spread are these issues ? Does anyone NOT have these two issues with either 10.9.2 or 10.9.3 ?
Got a tip for us?

I've updated a large amount of Macs to 10.9.2 and 10.9.3 at work, no issues.
You are at risk from a nasty security flaw in 10.9.1. Run, don't walk, to Software Update immediately.
But put that on hold untill the App Store is up again? See:

Good luck - Cheers
You'll be fine, these issues are far from being wide spread. You'll just have to wait a little while for this SSL issue to be ironed out (https://www.macrumors.com/2014/05/25/apple-software-update-invalid/)
I've updated 3 Mac's to 10.9.3 and have zero issues. I don't think you need to worry about it so much. Update and enjoy!
The certificate issue has been resolved, so I'd recommend updating to 10.9.3 as soon as possible.
really, so none of you have problems with connecting to wifi from sleep mode? There seems to be quite a few threads in this board just for that problem.. If mail works properly now, that's great .
There are some reports of it, to be sure, but I think by and large, they're in the minority.
EVERY update causes a few problems for somebody. And NOT updating causes even more problems in some ways, like security. Life, and computers, are like that. If you wait until no one is complaining you'll wait forever.
Try it, and if you have a problem, restore from your backup.You DO have a current backup, right?
There you go, that's a good solution.
Or, install the update in a separate partition or drive, and leave your existing setup completely untouched until you have the answers to your questions.
Lots of people share your concerns, and there's no need for the worry if you take the time to do it right.
I'm running 10.93 on three Macs and they're stable and fast: Mini i7, Mac Pro (2009) and iMac i5 (2014). They all went from 10.9, 10.91, 10.92 and 10.93 and each version was a little better. As others have noted, if something goes terribly wrong, just restore 10.91 from Time Machine.
You should upgrade to at least 10.9.2 just for security reasons alone. 10.9.1 had a huge SSL loophole.
