Re: OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and iOS 8.4.1 Address Numerous Security Holes

I’m impressed with the increase in speed on my MacBook since the update was 
installed. Dragon Dictate, for example, has been transformed into something 
functional.

OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and iOS 8.4.1 Address Numerous Security Holes

2015-08-15 Thread Ronni Brown
Hello people,

OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 Combo Update

Post Date: Aug 13, 2015

File Size: 2.12 GB

System Requirements
OS X Yosemite 10.10

"OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and iOS 8.4.1 Address Numerous Security Holes

Apple has released minor updates to both OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iOS 8, calling 
out just a few general changes in the main release notes, but noting nearly 70 
security fixes for OS X and over 40 for iOS. 
It would seem likely that Apple’s release was timed to follow the Black Hat and 
DEFCON security conferences, where privately reported security vulnerabilities 
might be made public. 
Given the number of security fixes, I’d encourage you to install these updates 
soon, since they’re more important than the release notes might imply.


OS X -- For Mac users, OS X 10.10.5 <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205004>, 
which is available via Software Update or via delta 
<https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1833> (from 10.10.4, 1.02 GG) or combo 
<https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1832> (from any version of 10.10, file size 
2.12 GB) updaters"

Note:  Ronni (as I’m sure you know), always installs the Combo Update and 
recommend you do.

Installation of OS X 10.10.5 Combo Update on: 
My MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7/16GB 1333 MHz DDR3/ 
Samsung 840 EVO SSD 1TB
Only took 10mins to complete installation… Below is the steps I took to install 
the Combo 10.10.5 Update.

1. Repair Disk Permissions
2. Do Backups - Time Machine and CCC Bootable backup (check bootable backup - 
check TM backup)
3. Install "osxupdate10.10.5" Combo
A) Preparing Update  
B) Restart 
C) Installing Software Update
D) Restart into OS X 10.10.5 - (Fans raced for a few seconds after restarting 
into 10.10.5)
Total installation took 8-10mins.
4. Repair Permissions (only took 1 min.)
5. Ran Software Update (App Store to check for any updates) installed 'Update 
iTunes 12.2.2' (114MB)

NO Problems with the installation and I haven't noticed any problems after 
booting into OS X 10.10.5


Cheers,
Ronni
