If you have installed a 10.10.3 build, this update will install on top of it, but you should not do so.
Thank you again for this. I did it, and now I'm wondering if there's a way to check that the mach_kernel is indeed hidden. Do you know of any way to see if your fix worked?
This is also the very reason people should not download the links intended for Software Update.
I was speaking more broadly. Manually installing packages intended to be installed via Software Update may occasionally lead to unexpected results and isn't in general a good practice.
I agree, but the packages from the direct software update links you post are not the same as the standalone downloads. With this update in particular, the standalone update package downloaded from the support website will not install on a 10.10.3 system.
Thanks for this - I was running into the same thing and did this and it fixed my issue. Yay!
The Question should more be: why is iOS 7 not updated.
There are many users still on the (actively being sold) iPhone 3S and 4. They can't upgrade and are vulnerable now. Check?
Where are those phones being actively sold by Apple?
In The Netherlands, at Albert Heijn (big supermarket and mobile network) as 'refurbished new'. Probably not by Apple themselves, but their not stopping it either.
At Telfort, another dutch mobile network, https://shop.telfort.nl/telefoons/Apple/Apple-iPhone-4-8GB-black-Apple-Certified-Preown.html? (certified by Apple, according to this big operator; and have fun: it's promoted here on the ad-space on macrumours if you once visited that website)
And at a lot of other places
http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/293177/apple-iphone-4-8gb-zwart.html.
As you can see, it's still actively being sold and also bought. Having it not being officially supported makes it become more like how Androids are not up-to-date.

If Apple themselves aren't selling them then they aren't part of their current lineup.
