Apple Releases OS X 10.10.4 With 'Discoveryd' Process Removal

Updated through the app store, battery life still horrible!
Then downloaded and re-installed the combo update, no luck again!
Ever since I updated to 10.10.2 or .3 (not sure), my Mid-2014 rMBP has a very poor battery life of 3-4 hours.
Also, Safari is even worse, every other random page fails to open.
Any solutions?

Clean install.

The update failed for me and then started to download again. Do I have to delete the failed OS X update file so that it doesn't take up space?

After some more tinkering with the Terminal, I finally got the system to boot up, and TRIM is enabled. I guess something must have went wrong after I disabled Chameleon TRIM Enabler, and then ran the trimforce command.

Is there a way to check if kext signing is enabled on my system? When I type "nvram boot-args" it says data was not found

If "sudo nvram boot-args" doesn't say "kext-dev-mode=1", kext signing is enabled.

Also you don't have to disable any third party trim-adding tools, the update would have done that for you. Unless it is something that runs and reenables it on every boot.

I did that with 10.10.3, no change.

If you tested 10.10.3 "clean" (meaning you didn't install anything until you tested that the battery would last as it is supposed to) and your battery was still being drained fast, I'd say that is a defective battery not an update problem.

If you did a clean install, then installed everything you had on it before, you put yourself right back in the same boat you were in before the clean install and it isn't an update problem either.

OMG - 10.10.4 is sooo much better it is unbelievable. Really no kidding. And what I mean is the wifi performance. My internet is soooo much faster. As I said it is unbelievable. If this holds true over the next days I am not sure if I will change anything in the foreseeable future

You don't need Cindori whatsoever. Just type
Code: 
sudo trimforce enable
into terminal.

Thanks!

Just ran it on both my 2012 Mac Mini and 17" MacBook Pro.

Don't expect them to melt down, despite Apple's "warning." This is good news!

You are involving multiple parameters
Load on Apple Servers
Load on your ISP
Theoretical Down Speed of your connection

But as an example here in Germany with a solid 65 MBPS download speed, to an i7 iMac, I had to wait an hour before the link did not do anything but use 13% of my processor power, while not downloading anything.
Restart to clear "downloaded" wait, repeat - eventually it kicked it at a good speed

I already have the file Nothing to do with Apple Server or ISP. I'm in the university, download speed is faster than most people's. Speed here is not the issue since I already got the 1GB update file.

I had the same issue. I went to the supermarket around the corner and when I came back it was still "Preparing". Restarting twice (yeah, really twice) fixed the problem. After that preparing only took a second.

Thanks.
I was out for lunch, the thing errors out. I restarted and redo it again, still stuck.
I think I'm going to just wait for the app store to show update, whenever that is.
 
I updated I'm guessing shortly after it was released (a few hours ago) from the Mac App Store. Only took about 30 seconds to download and the computer restarted and began to install, rebooted and completed the install. After all was done it booted back to the desktop with no problem for me. Seems to be working with no problem.

In the second part, I was making the point that speed of internet & computer is not necessarily an issue. And having the download file does not mean you have the full update - you still need the Apple Server to give you the rest. The access to the Apple server where you are could be overloaded.
 
My right click aka secondary click function continues to stop working and only thing that seems to fix it is a restart....

all the settings are the same, I came from 10.10.3 with 0 issues :(

Anyone else experiencing this?

To those of us with Samsung 8xx SSD's, I just found some disturbing comments about enabling TRIM (see the comments on the linked ARS article). It may not be "healthy" for those drives afterall?

Thank you for posting this! Some sort of warning should be provided on stories about enabling TRIM in 10.10.4+. I just got a Samsung 850 EVO (500GB) for my iMac and am planning to put it internal (right now it's in an external Firewire/USB enclosure so TRIM cannot be enabled). I *was* going to enable TRIM, but I won't now unless Samsung fixes the bug. Do we have any hope of that actually happening? Seems they've been called out publicly now so ...
 
no matter what I do the trackpad double click stops working randomly and doesn't start working again on its own unless I do a) restart or b) attach a wireless mouse and do a double / right click with it.

my aunt had a similar issue with 10.10.3 - reinstalling the combo update fixed it
 
My iMac 2011 21.5" seems to have performed a firmware upgrade during the 10.10.4 update.

It made the very low-pitched beep noise instead of the normal chime, did something for a while, then rebooted. Anyone else see this?

And now System Information now shows "Boot ROM Version: IM121.0047.B21" - newwer than the IM121.0047.B1F which is the latest version shown on Apple's firmware updates page. Anyone know anything about this?
