I'm a rolling stone.
I may have missed it - but I didn't see any evidence of firmware being updated.

Any way to check that it's been done?

About This Mac is much speedier. Silky smooth at 60 fps now :D


Also, notification center seems less laggy on my late 2013 rMBP.

Hmm, why am I not seeing "Fixes issue that causes your £2500 computer with highest end specs to run a little bit slower than your Windows 95 PC from 1999" in the list of fixes?

my MBP and iMac running perfectly. fastest computers ive ever had the pleasure of using.

maybe yours is broken?

Thanks - however, I'm looking for evidence that my mac is actually updated (I'm travelling to some interesting places soon and it may be out of my control at some of the border checkpoints.

About this Mac shows (in the hardware root):

Boot ROM Version: MBP91.00D3.B08
SMC Version (system): 2.2f44

It runs fast most of the time, but after heavy use (I mean working on multiple 6GB Photoshop files simultaneously for 8 hours) it becomes slow and STAYS slow until I restart. I can quit Photoshop and do whatever I want, but it won't return to normal until I reboot. 16 GB RAM and Late 2013 rMBP, 15 inch with discreet graphics. It smells like a memory leak to me though those aren't very common and should have been fixed...

As far as I know a firmware update needs a restart, at least all of my firmware updates on my Macs restarted, so, I guess it didn't really update, or the process is different than it used to be, unlikely though.

My Boot Rom version and SMC are different than yours, but I am on a Mini.

Boot ROM Version: MM61.0106.B03
SMC Version (system): 2.7f0

I will restart now, see if that changes the versions, sadly I didn't check before running the Firmware Updater.

Edit: Nope, no change

You guys may want to check your HDD/SSD by doing a verify disk. The 10.10.2 update totally borked my HDD and now I need to repair my HDD. Thanks :apple:

:rolleyes:

In the past, firmware updates on a Mac seemed to bring two reboots, and a noticeably different screen when the firmware was being updated.

I didn't see any of that this time, but certainly Apple has been mucking around with the boot displays quite a bit with Yosemite as well.

List the wifi router that serves your DHCP connection.

On top of that, it would help if they also list the hardware they are using altogether (read: type of Mac). I've run every version of Yosemite on my mid-2011 MBA, and had not once had any WiFi issue. I'm expecting the same when I upgrade my MBA tonight.

Strange, mine is showing 436 MB for (late) 2010 Macbook Air and btw. really slow downloads speeds at the moment...

Yup, 443MB for my 2013 MacBook Air, and the download speed is *dismal*!!

I miss the good 'ol days. But Apple needs to control everything, and this is one of the downsides. :confused:

So, that's your definition of something that Apple needs to be working on an update for? First, you are using your iMac in a way that 99%+ of people never will. Second, all it takes to fix your issue is to restart after 8 hours of work. The horror... the horror...

Took me 4mins...

I have slow old 100Mbit cable but it downloaded at the same speed as you :cool:

100Mbit is consider slow to you? Here in Canada, we still have providers offering 6Mbit, 10Mbit, 15Mbit. Presently, we're on 25Mbit. The price gets outrageous above that...

>Adds the ability to browse iCloud Drive in Time Machine

Does this mean that Time Machine now backs up iCloud Drive, including Photos?

This would make it actually useful.

Handle with care!

My iMac is not starting up after the update. It loads OS X and the just shows the circle with the line through it >_<

Any tips? Already tried booting in safe mode and running disk utility on the hard drive. Nothing's working!
