How to update your Mac
1. You should back up your Mac before installation. To do this you can use Time Machine.
2. Use the Updates pane of the Mac App Store to check for the latest Apple software updates, including this update.
3. Other software updates available for your computer might appear, which you should install. Some updates might need to be installed before other updates appear.
4. Don’t interrupt the installation process once you’ve started to update your system.
5. You might experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you’ve modified the operating system through other means.
You can also download the manual installer for this update. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. Manual installers are available from Apple Support Downloads.
Installed…………No issues presented themselves…..
Does “Improves networking reliability” sort the discoveryd issue?
The update seems to make Yosemite run more smoothly.
I’m a little confused to why iTunes hasn’t been updated to 12.2 yet on Apple’s website or in the latest 10.4 update for OS X?
Any ideas when that’s coming out??
Psst… http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(I’m using 10.10.4 right now if you are having issues. I don’t know if that’s a requirement.)
LOL! Nevermind.. I’m not getting it either.
On my 2014 Mac Pro the App Store app is stalling – greyed out in the Updates pane and before when
I could see the update it forever was searching for updates and never resolved to be ready to run the update. I guess Apple’s servers are hosed.😱
You don’t suppose? I can’t get iS 8.4 to download.
It finally sorted itself out and updating 2014 Mac Pro now. Old 2008 Mac Pro update went smoothly just after 8am Pacific. No problems.
Not posted to the Support Downloads page just yet. Probably later today is will show up.
So in the meantime, use App Store Updates to get it.
Not a good deal, in order to use Apple Music you need 12.2 itunes for the mac. Only problem is it was not included in the upgrade nor is it currently available online anywhere. Apple says it should be released within 24 hours. The ability to save songs for later listening is not working on an iphone. Everything except playing songs seems to be broke
I’m not sure which other models got firmware bumps, but my Early 2011 MacBook Pros went from 1.69f4 to 1.70f6 when I installed the 10.10.4 update. Therefore, don’t be surprised if your Mac goes into firmware update mode (indicated by a long beep) during the restart cycle.
I downloaded the update, now mail is not picking up my mail from gmail. Anyone else having this issue?
How big in size is this update? Can I download it while I work or should I wait till tonight and let it do its work while I’m not on?
