Apple Releases OS X 10.9.4 With Wi-Fi Fixes, Wake From Sleep Improvements, Safari 7.0.5

Are you using a built-in USB port, or a third-party USB PCI card (or ExpressCard)? If a third-party card, that's unfortunately expected, although you can use Jettison to make sure they're at least ejected safely.

Happens on the built in USB
 
I'm just annoyed I can't get the Yosemite preview, pissed its limited to 1st one million as I has signed up for everything as soon as. I suppose bug fixes will have to do.
 
Cheers from here--I'd been having all kinds of Finder troubles on my Early 2009 MP with four monitors. It was always a guess which icons would be on which monitors after a reboot.

Double-clicking on an icon meant a long beachball pause, and many times if I attempted to Save As in Photoshop, the computer locked up if I was saving to a different internal hard drive than the one I'd launched the file from.

Also, Finder windows now open with the same View Options I left them in, and on the same place on the screen.

These pesky things all seem to be resolved.

All kidding aside, I have encountered this issue on several occassions (probably about a dozen times over the last year or so). In each case I had to reboot to get the damn thing to wake up. 6 time in over 12 months is better than the number of times I used to reboot my windows machine, but anything to improve stability is always welcomed.

I don't think that's a bug. I think that's just the way Safari does things now. On a bad Wi-Fi connection (about the only kind I have) if you scroll down while it seems to be 'taking a break', and you'll see that the web page content extends a bit beyond the current screenful, but then suddenly ends like as if the whole page was an image, and it just didn't finish downloading. The scroll bar keeps going, but the contents of the page is just blank white. I think that's what's it's doing during that pause. It's either still downloading stuff and drawing the page in the background, or it has downloaded everything and is just drawing the page in the background, but, either way, not updating the progress bar as it works. So it looks like it's just sitting there doing nothing, but it's really working on rendering the whole page.

How can it not be a bug if a refresh completely loads my page instantly? I've got a good connection and it even happens with a cable connection.
 
Filed some important tax documents (at the last moment) this morning using my 2012 Mac mini and Thunderbolt Display.

Went to use them again this afternoon and the display won't illuminate when connected to my mac mini but will if I connect to my MacBook Air.

Apple care, after a bunch of attempts, thinks the port on the mac mini is defective.

I wonder if this is due to an automatic update of OSX.

The problem for me is that it takes forever for my 2012 cMBP to fall asleep.

Do you have deep sleep enabled? If so, this forces the contents of RAM to be written to disk whenever you put your laptop to sleep. This write period increases based on how much RAM is in your laptop. An 8GB file will take twice as long as a 4GB file, which takes twice as long as a 2GB file. If your laptop is maxed out with 16 GB RAM I bet it'd take a serious amount of time to write that file.

To clarify, does it fix the bug when you switch users the window size/locations all got messed up looking like you changed the screen resolution when you didn't?

This one annoys the hell out of me.

Not entirely true, as sleep image is compressed in OS X Mavericks, at least AFAIK :)
 
Can any developers here please just spam Apple until they fix the Mail app in Mavericks?
I convinced my boss at work that we should update out iMacs from Snow Leopard to Mavericks. So I clean installed one of the machines, but now Mail is just a piece of junk software that won't even register my Gmail account.

Safari still loads up till a certain point and loads completely after like 5 seconds.
I hope Yosemite will fix this bug.

very annoying indeed :-/

overall it feels a little faster (as it was before with Lion)... launching Disk Utility is a very little faster (but still horrendous)

This also fixes the new Mac Pros when using 3 or more 30" monitors connected by the miniDP->Dual Link DVI adaptor... it was a pretty big bummer to upgrade my whole group to the new Mac Pros (with 10.9.3)... and each of us have one (out of our three) monitors dead....

Apple really needs to get better with quality control on some of these OSX patches... at least this one issue is fixed.

Finally! This was an annoying bug. I can't believe nobody at apple uses 3 or more monitors...
 
I got exited about snappier Safari, but then I realised that I have been using the 10.9.4 beta with the Safari 7.0.5 all this time :eek:

I believe that this may have fixed all of the lagging wifi connectivity issues I had with my iMac. Have been using the update for just an hour or so, but immediately this feels much faster and more reliable, Does anyone else agree ?

Gosh I hope this ends up being true for me. Didn't have problems on Apple WiFi access points and routers, but third-party has been PAINFUL for me, as in MINUTES to connect, sometimes having to turn WiFi off and back on, etc.
 
rMBP here, my internet connection speed is about 10 times slower when my Apple Bluetooth keyboard is connected. Turning Bluetooth off fixes the problem... Anyone with this issue? Hope this fixes that...
