Apple Releases OS X 10.9.5 With Reliability Improvements, Safari 7.0.6

Google was having their own Gmail outages recently, so that may have been the problem you were running into, not related to your computer at all.

Also, I think Google has been putting some limits on how many IMAP connections can be made at once. For several weeks, my 6 configured accounts in Mail.app continued having connection problems. I had to leave half of them offline to avoid that annoying problem.

Much to my disappointment, the update has not improved gmail for me. About a week ago, I (and others here) started having problems with gmail imap timeouts. The problem isn't the "too many connections" one, that error is explicit, but instead mail just cannot connect. I've spent some time looking at what is happening, and it appears that the google server never replies to the connection attempt (SYN). It actually looks like mail isn't sending the SYN, or maybe the underlying TCP stack isn't. Nothing else has connectivity problems, so I'm thinking that mail is the problem. Frustrating...

Perhaps part of a google strategy to discourage apple users? :)

Both my godaddy and fastmail IMAP have been flawless with mail. Sounds like something google is doing.
 
My Mac went to sleep twice since the update. When waking up, the mac restarted instead of staying in sleep mode.

Is there a (new) setting. Or is this an error?

Sounds like a hardware issue, not software. Have you upgraded your RAM recently?

It happened before I changed the RAM and afterwards. I've experienced this problem in Mavericks, but not in Mountain Lion or Windows 7. And it only happens when my MBP sleeps for more than 4 hours or more.

This will solve your problem:

Code: 
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0

If you do this:

Code: 
pmset -g live

you'll notice that "autopoweroffdelay" is set to 14400. That's how many seconds there are in four hours. You will also notice that "autopoweroff" is set to 1.

Cheers!
 
Wifi towers???

Wifi is generally installed in your home.... if you're using public wifi that's totally different.

As for diagnosing the issue, yes.
1. 3 cell phones... no issues
2. apple tv... no issues
3. smart tv... no issues
4. work laptop (win machine) no issues
5. other laptop in home non apple no issues
6. ipad, no issues.
7. galaxy tab no issues
8. mbp... when it works it works, and then there are times where it just stops. Full signal, etc. but have to turn wifi on and off again to fix.
This has been an issue going back several os releases... and some people have it, some people don't.... but you can find thousands upon thousands of threads in apple support forums for it and across the internet.

Apple has always had some wonky wifi issues since I can remember. In the past, it was bad airport cards (i went through 6 on one lampshade imac), and other times software glitches.

Mine is intermittent, and while annoying, easy to fix... I just should not have to.

And I can also say it's not just my home wifi or internet provider.

Interesting, have you all with slow wifi done everything possible to diagnose the issues????

Last month I thought I had that issue but my husband was having problems too, he's running a late 2011 i7 13"MPB maxed out and i'm running the mid 2014 retina 15"mbp maxed out, but turns out the storms in NYC affected wifi towers, once they solved that, our wifi has never been this blazing fast and efficient.

I haven't updated to this new update yet but currently at 10.9.4 and wifi is blazing fast - actually faster than it's ever been in fact.


Good luck everyone!

I LOVE u ALL!

My laptop is stuck In a gray screen for at least 15 min now after downloading the update and restarting. Does anyone else have is problem? This is for the 2010 laptop in my sig

Me too but i then force powered down my MacBook Pro 15" (2012 non retina model) and powered it up after a minute and it booted and then it began to update Mac OSX 10.9.5 and rebooted on its own and now it is updated and everything works fine!

Mavericks is my favourite OS X version thus far. Followed by Tiger. Not upgrading to Yosemite anytime soon.

Couldn't agree more. It's rock solid for me from the inside out. iOS 8 and Yosemite have some great features that'll eventually cause me to upgrade.

For now. I'm quite satisfied with 7.1.2 and 10.9.5 as my mobile and desktop OS preference.
 
Updated my 2012 iMac 27" with Fusion with no problems

for the first time in many months my iMac woke-up from sleep to keep the iTunes server connection current. It stopped doing that somewhere around 10.9.0-10.9.2 and I haven't been able to wake my iMac up from my appleTV since.

Hopefully it also addresses the bug where I have no wifi connection for like 20seconds after coming off a long sleep
 
External hards eject when waking from sleep

Ever since I loaded Mavericks on occasion the external hard drives are ejected when waking from sleep. This was an issue with ML until the supplemental update in October of 2013. Was hoping this would be corrected with 10.9.5 but, unfortunately, still occurring.

Anyone have a link for the safari download?

I got 10.9.5 but no safari update...:(
Click to expand...

You're supposed to get it after running software update after installing 10.9.5

Also, am I the all only one to notice that the internal volume is now configured in core storage?

I haven't read all of the comments but I am ticked by the 10.9.5 update. It royally screwed my Macbook Pro 9,2 over. I had many issues that suggested RAM failure or SSD failure and tons of app problems such as Safari randomly quitting itself. I had to format my drive and completely reinstall Mavericks. This was my first boot into a fresh system. I see that in system updates it would force the 10.9.5 combined update. Nope. Not gonna do it. Is there a way to download only the first 4 updates? If not, I will not update from the base Mavericks. I can't handle a severely unstable computer. I'm ticked at Apple.

:mad::mad::mad:

And yes, I backed up my files. ;)
