One of the first things that I did when I got my MacBook Pro back from repair yesterday is install OS X 10.10.5. The key item that makes this a must install is a fix to an exploit that was already in the wild and being used by bad guys everywhere. It also claims to fix the following:
- Improves compatibility with certain email servers when using Mail
- Fixes an issue in Photos that prevents importing videos from GoPro cameras
- Fixes an issue in QuickTime Player that prevented playback of Windows Media files.
I also noted the following:
- WiFi seems to have significantly improved. Thus it appears that Apple has finally addressed the WiFi issues that have persisted since Mavericks came out.
- Bluetooth seems a bit more stable when streaming music to Bluetooth speakers.
- The performance of my MacBook Pro is noticeably improved.
So it appears that Apple has finally dialed in Mavericks….. Just in time to be replaced by El Capitan.
Earlier in the day I also did the iOS 8.4.1 over the air. It promises fixes for the following:
- Resolves issues that could prevent turning on iCloud Music Library
- Resolves an issue that hides added music because Apple Music was set to show offline music only
- Provides a way to add songs to a new playlist if there aren’t any playlists to choose from
- Resolves an issue that may show different artwork for an album on other devices
- Resolves several issues for artists while posting to Connect
- Fixes an issue where tapping Love doesn’t work as expected while listening to Beats 1
Since I don’t use Apple Music, I don’t care about any of that. I also didn’t notice any other fixes. I’d be interested in knowing if you saw anything interesting with either of these updates. Please leave a comment below and share your thoughts.
