Besides an update to iOS, Apple released OS X 10.10.2 today to fix a whole host of issues that has plagued the OS since its release last year. Here’s the list of fixes:
- Resolves an issue that may cause Wi-Fi to disconnect. Of course, that’s what they said with 10.10.1 and it wasn’t true. So we’ll see.
- Resolves an issue that may cause web pages to load slowly
- Fixes an issue that caused Spotlight to load remote email content when the preference was disabled in Mail. That’s something I reported on here.
- Improves audio and video sync when using Bluetooth headphones
- Adds the ability to browse iCloud Drive in Time Machine
- Improves VoiceOver speech performance
- Resolves an issue that causes VoiceOver to echo characters when entering text on a web page
- Addresses an issue that may cause the input method to switch languages unexpectedly
- Improves stability and security in Safari
Also, according to the document that details the security content, it contains fixes for the Thunderstrike exploit along with all three issues that Google disclosed last week. I’m downloading it now and I will be testing it and reporting back shortly. It will be safe to say that if WiFi isn’t fixed in this update, Apple will have some very ticked off users to deal with very shortly.
UPDATE: It’s early days yet, but so far my WiFi is more stable and Safari feels much faster. I still need to do more testing to confirm. Continuity works better and the user interface feels a whole lot more fluid, I’ll let you know if I notice anything else.
