OS X 10.9.4 Update Broken?
A bit of a rant: the OSX 10.9.4 update is supposed to fix a bug where the computer would not re-connect to Wifi after sleep. In the 3 years of owning my mac I have never had this issue. Since updating yesterday, the exact problem the update was supposed to fix has been happening consistently when my mac wakes.<p>Yes, I've tried restarting. Curious if anyone else is having this issue?
- sickmate 12y agoIt's not completely fixed. My guess is that only certain Airport Express cards are affected, as I have some machines that fail to reconnect and others that are fine.
- someguy1233 12y agoI'm on a retina macbook pro, the latest 13" 256gb. During the first weeks I bought it, it connected from sleep with no issues. I'm almost a month in and is guaranteed to break if I put my mac to sleep now. I have to turn off and on my WiFi for it to work. I'm also on 10.9.4
- 27182818284 12y agoI think there have been some serious 10.9 wifi issues, just anecdotal from my 10.9 experience too. I've always been impressed in the past with my Macs' ability to wake up and get on Wifi in just a second or two at the extreme, but since 10.9, I've had all sorts of weird connection issues.I went so far even as to wonder if a device in my home was shorting and putting out stray EM radiation as I've actually had and fixed that problem with a friend's lamp before.
- zeeed 12y agoFWIW: I had the same issue on three machines. What worked for me was to unhide the network, i.e. broadcast the SSID.
- aaronsnoswell 12y agoThanks for the comment - my network's SSID is already being broadcast though.
- cordite 12y agoIt totally fixed my issue. Even my half-sized SD card on the size is mounted on wake. (Whereas before, I would have to take it out and put it back in again) Before the update, it was pretty annoying and felt like someone really dropped the ball in competence.
- jgeorge 12y agoI did NOT have this problem until I updated to 10.9.4, now I do have this problem, you're not alone. 11" Air, mid-2014 (about a month old)
- aaronsnoswell 12y agoGood to hear I'm not crazy - mine is an MBA too, but an older model (mid 2011).
