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.

O good
We can completely trash our network yet again with a pointless upgrade.
iT will be thrilled.
You just can’t convince some people that More Cowbell is not necessarily a good thing. Thus they STILL feel the need to “upgrade” their metrosexual Glorified Terminals.
Maybe someone should take their crayons away. :)
Thanks for the note.

Hot damn, I've seen that happen (or at least, a user reported it). Nice to have it fixed.
Tonight my iPhone updated to 8.3.
And Safari on my Mavericks Mini just updated (probably the same fixes as in this Yosemite update).
Busy night at the old Software Update.
Can't wait for Patch Tuesday and all my Win7 machines start nagging me... and that's just at home. LOL
You know, you guys who constantly associate Apple products with kinky sex really ought to talk to somebody professional about that.
It's just not healthy.
Normal people view technological devices as tools. They may be much-loved tools, but you know, I've always appreciated my drill press too. But it's just a tool.
That's different from seeing sexuality -- especially homosexual or metrosexual sexuality -- in a neutral object like a phone or tablet.
Even a computer is just a neutral object.
Well, maybe not -all- computers.
Salamander has a computer that's definitely sexy. If you ask nice, maybe she'll show it to you.
Now, In my book, THAT is a technological device with sexual overtones. And that's Alienware, not Apple.
The others? Face it, fella, they're just phones and tablets.
> ...More Cowbell is not necessarily a good thing.
And you're just wrong about that. More Cowbell is always a good thing. :)
Perfectly stated.
Fudpack much? Never heard of you before.
Thanks for the smile, and a chuckle here and there. Always good to see a humorous response to an honest observation.
Glorified Terminals have their places as well in the computer world, I must admit. Nice to know the Atari 2600’s of the computer world are still finding some useage out there.
Then again, I could always dig up that old 486DX4-120 and do more than simple terminal work and PrintShop functions.
*grin*
I am no MS fanboi either, as I prefer Linux (*cough* OS-10 is a ‘nix derivative *cough*) but the ‘doze people always seem to be the Calm Conservatives of the computer world, while the macophiles always seem to be the Ferguson Rioters instead.
Make one disparaging remark about their Holy OS and the spittle-flying rage is a hilarious thing to see.
Makes for an interesting evening now and again. *laugh*
Oh, and we will have to disagree about the More Cowbell beliefs.
Although the SNL skit was hilarious. *grin*
Yeah, I'm mainly a Unix-head myself, though I have a foot in each camp: Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac... and a few minor ones. I have many feet. I love 'em all and I hate 'em all, depending...
Don't know if you heard, I started up an FR Windows Ping List, for technical topics regarding Windows of all editions including Server, and related topics like WinPhone and the Surface slabs. Welcome to join if you want, lemme know. (I think Swordmaker will forgive me for plugging the WPL on one of his threads.)
> we will have to disagree about the More Cowbell beliefs
No problem. Agreeing to disagree is one of the hallmarks of an intelligent exchange. :)
Liberace is going to be the name of the next OSX. After Liberace will come other gay icons like Barry Manilow, Elton John and Barack Obama
May God have mercy on us. Not gay men. How about women who like gay men?
I'm holding out for "Cher".
Failing that, I'll take "Liz Taylor" or "Liza Minelli".
But "Cher" -- now there's a perfect name for an operating system.
Yes? What is your point? Cook should be removed, however that does not negate this is a system upgrade. Is a system upgrade homosexual?
