If it was sarcasm, I would have marked it as such ... read my posts, when I believe Apple's done a good job I acknowledge them, likewise when their failing to perform up to their normal standards, I never shy away from saying so. I simply share my experience while understanding full well it may be different than others. It's as simple as that.
I think Apple declared war on DVD drives because they could never get them to work properly. I have owned many Macs. All of them have had DVD drives. None of them have had DVD drives that work right. Since 2003.
using AM/PM? How quaint and old fashioned.... Oh silly me that is the norm for transport systems in the USA.Oh trust me it was annoying, every time I turned the Mac on I spotted it.
Was an easy fix too though, going from digital (an/pn) > analog > digital (fixed)
No more suffering for me, haha!
Well... I did a full reinstall of Yosomite OTA before going to sleep - now everything is back to normal (pheeew)I have the excact same problem same MacBook Pro late 2011 17 inch and it happened the same way too! Except mine does only boot one third with an apple logo (reading from start disk) and then it shows the no start disk sign!?
Just today I had the motherboard replaced on apples free gpu fault program and it was running fine for just a few hours before this update
My iMac was unable to rip CDs properly. Not all CDs. But sometimes songs would have glitches in them, and sometimes CD would just spin-spin-spin-spin and do nothing. Recently I bought a 10 euro DVD-R drive for my laptop and all the CDs with errors rip perfectly fine, and the ones that would spin-spin (CD-Rs with stickers) I managed to rip all tracks but the last two.
Apple today released OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, an under-the-hood update that introduces bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance improvements. OS X 10.10.5 is being released to the public after two developer betas and one month of testing.
The OS X 10.10.5 update can be downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store.
Today's update notably includes a fix for the DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow malware to gain root access to a Mac. Earlier this month, a DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE exploit was found to be in use in the wild, so this is an update that all Mac users running Yosemite will want to install as soon as possible.OS X 10.10.5 is likely to be one of the last updates to OS X Yosemite, which will soon be retired in favor of its successor, OS X 10.11 El Capitan. Currently in testing, OS X El Capitan builds on the features introduced with Yosemite, focusing on improving performance and user experience.
Once OS X El Capitan is available for download, OS X Yosemite will see only minor maintenance updates designed to fix security flaws and other major bugs. OS X El Capitan is expected to be released to the public in the fall.
Update 10:33 AM: Fixes and improvements for Apple Music are available in a separate iTunes 12.2.2 update also available through Software Update in the Mac App Store.
Update 11:20 AM: Apple has also released Security Update 2015-006 for Mavericks and Mountain Lion users, as well as Safari 8.0.8 for Yosemite, 7.1.8 for Mavericks, and 6.2.8 for Mountain Lion.
