Apple Releases OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 With Photos for OS X App, Emoji Updates

That has been my position also, but I do want the new photos app. Why must Yosemite suck so much?
Are you serious?! This is beyond ridiculous. Almost 6 months and still no fix for Wifi/BT. Guess I'll still be on Mavericks when 10.10.4 is released.
That was going to be my question. I had the public beta which had appalling WiFi - like literally 500 - 2,400ms PING responses and constant dropping out.
I had to do a Time Machine restore it was so bad.
Anyone got a 15" Late 2013 rMBP 2.0GHz base model that can test first?
Thanks

Create a new partition, install 10.10.3 on the new partition, boot to the new partition and test it out. When you are done, boot back to your primary partition and delete the new partition that you installed 10.10.3.
Won't boot regularly. All I get is a flashing broken file. I can only access recovery.
Run Repair Disk from Disk Utility in the recovery partiton and see what it reports.
I don't understand you guys. Me with 2011 MBP updating with the latest software and NO WiFi/BT issues ever!!.

Still no Combo in https://www.apple.com/support/osx/software-updates/
I already tried that. It didn't help because I have FireVault 2 enabled. I'm having to reformat.
Not that I doubt you have the issue you are reporting but have you tried creating a new partition, install 10.10.3 on it, boot to the new partition and don't install anything new and use it. Does the issue still happen? When you are done boot back to your primary partition and delete the other partition that you created.

Some people don't like the new Photo app and are staying with iPhoto. I have not tried the new Photo app yet.
Well, seeing that 1) you're referring to a computer that doesn't exist (rMBP is 13" or 15" ONLY) and 2) I have a 15" Retina MacBook Pro without any issues, I'd say you've either got a real screwed up computer, or you're a troll.
There is no QA process at apple anymore
Who the hell checks their work at apple these days? I'm so pissed but luckily I was able to recover easily.
Installed the 10.10.3 update via app store on my 2015 broad well 13" and waited for system to do it's thing. It finished then I started and see the white loading bar then it another restart and nothing - a blinking folder with question mark.
Zapped PRam didn't do jack, so booted into recovery mode via command-R while powering on and selected startup disk and it worked.
Really not happy with how apple QA's their updates these days!

WELL!
My iPhoto used to have thousands of pictures!
Then I updated and now nothing in new Photos app!
/Pictures/ directory used to be over 40gb, now it's only the 5mb file of "Photos Library.photoslibrary"
Thankfully. I back up regularly.

I had the exact same problem! I tried selecting the start up disk in recovery as well, but that didn't work for me. I tried to repair the disk, and it reported it was fine. I'm now forced to reformat.

If you don't have it, then it doesn't exist.
I upgraded to Yosemite when it was less than a week old. Experienced pointer lag using the Magic Mouse and Wifi speeds would go down to a crawl when BT was in use.
- Changed Wifi channels, didn't help;
- Contacted Apple about it, they asked me to install Yosemite again without formatting my SSD. Did that, didn't help;
- Several reports over the internet started appearing. People experiencing pointer lag using all different kinds of routers (including Apple's);
- Contacted support again. This time they asked me to format my SSD and use Yosemite with nothing installed. Did that, still experienced pointer lag;
- 10.10.1 came out. Did not fix it;
- Finally decided to get back to Mavericks (apart from the annoying pointer lag, the UI behaved terribly on my 2012 rMBP) and TADAAAA, same environment, same router, same settings, same everything. Issue gone.
I hope these tests are enough for you to understand that this issue does exist, it affects a considerable amount of people and it sucks that Apple could not fix it after 5 months and 3 point updates.
You can now download the stand alone installer using the app store, it has been updated.
