The problem has disappeared for some strange reason. The WiFi icon shows full bars now instead of showing no bars as if I had no connection.
Got a tip for us?

There are settings for that. In fact, there's two settings.. One for while on cord, the other while using battery.
I'm talking about when the lid is closed. It takes a good two mins for the computer to completely fall asleep. If I don't wait those two minutes and I go to move the MBP, the HDD starts clicking.
Those of us that signed up for 10.10 beta still have not received it... people who do have it are developers or just downloaded it from a certain site.
If you signed up early, you probably will get it.
The flip side - is be grateful you don't have problems so severe that you couldn't even enjoy the little things like a software update.
----------
I wonder if the clicking HDD is a clue to what is stalling things. Is it failing?
Just be patient. The major problems developers are facing should be fixed first before public beta testing begins.
10.9.4 Install
When I installed the update...I totally lost my access to i-Photos and and had to re-install the app? All my pictures came back. This happened on my i-Mac and not my MacBook Pro. Very strange and I have heard the of the new changes in the future photo app scenario for Apple. Did anyone have the same experience?

I don't use Safari, and never had issues with WiFi...
Still,,,, I got used to updates.
All Apple needs to do now is give users some warning after displaying the notification asking if the user wants to "Restart now", or "Later"
a countdown perhaps should heed a more direct response than a "forced" restart..
Why give us options then ? i didn't wanna get rid of the popup because i was bust doing something else. I'm not about to take a break when i notice an popup with requires "intimidate" attention.
Thanks allot Apple
Its these little things that make the competition better ..
Just stating a known fact.

Fixed : 3-finger Mission Control and App Expose settings stick after a restart. Previously, I had to go into the Setting prefpane and toggle it off/on after every restart.
Not fixed : Disconnection when writing to USB3 external drive.

Have new Mac Pro (trash can), 10.9.4 will not recognize my Apple Bluetooth keyboard which worked fine yesterday on 10.9.3.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone else have this problem?
Turn the keyboard off then on again? I tend to find that "resets" the connection between the two.

My iMac 8,1 is like a new Mac. Most apps open on the second bounce. They used to open on "huge amount of bounces" before 10.9.4.
Unfortunately now that I've installed 10.9.4...
my iMac (27-inch; late 2012 model) no longer has sound (it's now grayed-out and permanently muted) nor does it play any of my QuickTime videos. If I go to YouTube I can only watch videos not listen to them. The movies in my hard-drive no longer play at all and have an "unknown error -101".
I for one am EXTREMELY UPSET AND PISSED-OFF with this update which is actually a downdate!!!
Please help if you have any good or better suggestions or knowledge otherwise I'll have to take it to the Genius Bar which is a real drag and hassle. Thanks!!

SMC and pram reset. Google how to do it.
Had regularly wake up issues with Mavericks and had to hard restart my MBP several times already. Hope this update has fixed it.
I'm hoping that the other somewhat common 27" iMac Bug, about not waking up from sleep at all, will be fixed. It's not clear that this particular bug fix is included in this update. It's been a problem for years, and with my 2009 27" iMac Core i7 with 32GB of RAM it's been a problem for about the past year.
The symptoms have been that when I try to wake the iMac, the backlight will turn on, but the screen will stay black (I can see the light leaking through the otherwise black LCD display). Sometimes I can even see the mouse/trackpad arrow move around normally (on a completely black screen), but nothing else. I have to force shutdown and restart. It's very annoying especially when I want to check something that would take 16 seconds. I end up using my iPhone instead while waiting for the iMac to restart.
My problem also involves it not waking from sleep. It's not every time, and it's more likely to do it if I'm away from my iMac for server so hours (deep sleep?), but when I come back my machine is most often rebooted (and after login prompts me to send an error report that says "Sleep/Wake Failure"). Though sometimes the machine isn't responsive to waking up and I have to hard reboot. The most puzzling one actually came yesterday when I tried to login in the morning, it hadn't rebooted but instead refused to recognize my password until a hard reboot. Fresh install of Mavericks doesn't really seem to affect it. We can only hope this or Yosemite helps.
This is issue happens when you connect a iOS device to iTunes also. If I leave my iPhone 5s connected to my MacBook Pro and it falls asleep and I wake it up. The iPhone is connected but when I properly try to disconnect it from iTunes it hangs there for a minute and iTunes doesn't respond and I get the spinning rainbow circle. If I just disconnect then I get "the iPhone was not disconnected correctly" error message.

No problems here - downloaded and installed on MacBook Air 2011 and seems snapper and no problems at all - and not a massive update file either.
