Pardon any stupidity, but I can't find info on what the difference between the Combo update and the non Combo. Maybe that's indicative that I don't need the Combo, but my interest has still been piqued. Anyone care to shed some light?
Thanks
Thanks
I'm fairly certain the combo update is for updating from a way previous version. Imagine if you were on 10.9.0 or 10.9.1, and you wanted to be on the most recent version. I think, and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, that's what the combo update is for. It is everything you'd need to move to the most recent version, instead of going through each of the smaller delta releases.
Perhaps. I'm planning on buying a SSD in the near future so I'm not too worried about the HDD failing - everything is in the cloud (docs, pics, music). I'll just take it to the Apple store when it does.
It has taken forever to fall asleep since updating to OS 10.8.0
Yup.
Well that actually makes sense. Thank youI appreciate the info!
Michael Goff is right, but you can do more with it.
Lets say you get into some kind of trouble with your OS X install, it often helps to run the combo update to solve problems too.
They will.
They haven't released to anyone in that program yet. Unless you specifically got a rejection message you'll get it when everyone else does.
No.
Same here. Just got home from work and went to wake up my rmbp and encountered that message.
I bought my iMac and did a clean install of 10.9.3 at the time (possibly 10.9.2). Do you think this is necessary having already gone to 10.9.4?
Seems to me, the further an OS revision gets from the version shipped with the machine, the worse the machine behavior becomes. Snow Leopard is a speed demon on my MacBook Pro 5,5. Mavericks is slow as sludge since the previous update, and was always a worse performer than 10.6.x. This trend is even more exaggerated on iOS devices.
No, I'm not surprised. I think I should just develop a behavior of never updating to newer OS versions... but then my software forces me to, unless I don't ever update that either. But then where does a person get bug fixes?
I hate the computer industry. Perpetual disorder and flaws.

No.
I rarely have problems with OS X, I rarely have problems that I can't fix before even trying this option.
Only try this if the problem can't be fixed by other means.
BUT, it won't harm your system, it only reinstalls all Apple System files, deleting the old ones afterwards.
Sounds good! Thanks again
I haven't had any issues right now (besides getting pretty warm during a Final Cut Pro X export, but that seems normal) so I will leave well enough alone.
Install a Solid State Disk (SSD), it will greatly enhance the user experience!
I installed one in my 2012 Mac Mini, rarely see those dreaded rainbow coloured spinballs.
Anything that uses a .kext could potentially be causing the problem. MS Office is such an example. Anything like that on your machine.
i got the same warning this morning on my 2013 Air after my air being in sleep mode over night. I've never seen this before it must have something to do with yesterdays up date.
The Terminal command for enabling Trim doesn't work :-(
EDIT: New Command solves the problem
Care to share?
Neither one worked after more than two tries each, but I can now hear my computer make sound during startup or reboot (but that's it, sound is still grayed-out and videos in my harddrive still won't play). Any other suggestions (from the same poster or any others)? Thanks again!!
