OS 10.10.5 out today

[mikehalloran]

For those of us who prefer the Combo Updater
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1832?locale=en_US

I just installed the OS 10.10.5 update from the App Store and the Combo Updater. TRIM is still enabled. I did not have to re-run the Terminal Command:

sudo trimforce enable

Among the fixes is compatibility with certain, unspecified email servers. Yahoo! POP is still not working but I'm pretty sure that Yahoo! has discontinued POP for Bizmail and it is not an Apple issue.

I haven't run across any issues (yet?)

Thank you, Mike.

Curious: Why is it that whenever I search (read: fumble around the Apple site) for combo updaters (the only ones I use), whilst I appear to arrive at the same combo-update pages you provide links for, I never, ever see the download icon, rendering the page useless. I always end up using download links from the various other sources on the cast-a-nets.

As has always been the case, the icon is there when I click your link this time too. Could it be that a Mike Link™ is simply better than a Monkey™£¢∞§¶•LiNk™£¢∞§????.sex.adult.tube.svetlana.ru?

I understand that Apple always has issues with that site when there's a new OS release due to heavy demand.

It's always seemed to have been the case for me 'though, Mike, going back at least to SL or Lion.

As I don't update when everyone else does (still on 10.9.2), it could be said that my searches for the combo updates is more or less random in the greater scheme of things.

Still, I jump at the opportunity to download updates when you post your immaculate, never-failing-to-deliver links; I really do appreciate it. This is why I'm downloading this update right now even 'though I'm nowhere near it OS wise.

Thank you again, Mike.

Thanks for the link, Mike. So much faster and cleaner.

Have you tried searching via Google instead? I never mouse around the Apple site looking for something if I can help it. As to no seeing the download link it may be due to the browser used. Sometimes Firefox won't show it and I have to use Safari.

The combo update was the 2nd or 3rd hit when I googled os x 10.10.5. There is the usual blue download button just under the title. Maybe in Australia, google hits are lists in reverse order of relevance, in keeping with the geography?

New York is a lot bigger than I thought!

Anyway, using the combo updater, 10.10.5 appears to be working on my Macs. I don't see any effect on DP 9. Yet.

...I don't see any effect on DP 9. Yet.

In another thread (can't remember which one) someone mentioned that it had fixed what they thought was a bug.

Hmm... and I use Safari, Jack. I'll try the Google machine...

Wow. Fairdinkum, not only did the Apple page appear first in the list, but the icon was there! I'll no longer be "mousing around" the Apple site for such things; thank you for the suggestion.

Oh, and the 'Pies, after losing 6 in a row, then winning one and losing this weekend... cannot make the final eight, so our season's over in a couple o' weeks. From top four to near-bottom in a little over a month. Can't say I remember seeing such a spectacular crash before. What a bummer. I'm sure you can relate; Blues supporters have gone mighty quiet of late. Bad luck to both of us.

Ha! You may be onto something there, Stoivo.

Yeah, funny how it's only now that I mentioned this issue to someone after all these years that it appears to have been resolved. I reckon "approaching" the page through the Google route might have something to do with it, but I'm sure I've done this many times in the past as I've given up trying to find it through the Apple site. Ultimately, as I said earlier, I've used links from MacUpdate or wherever.

As with that other matter, it's not just you. I gave up long ago thinking I could find Apple download inside the Apple site. It's fitting that one of Apple's biggest competitors provides the best means of finding Apple resources. Sort of like when PC Magazine said the Mac was the best machine for running Windows. And back when you could run Apple software faster on the Atari 1040.

The Blues got the wooden spoon in a race to the bottom. And mathematically the Pies aren't out either although they pretty much have to win the last 3 matches as do the Cats. So we both have a chance; slim but it's possible.
