Does OS X 10.9.4 fix your Mac's Wi-Fi wake from sleep issue?

Apple says the problem is fixed in OS X 10.9.4. Has it been fixed for you?</p> <p>OS X 10.9.4 has been in testing for weeks, first available to registered Apple developers in late May (http://www.imore.com/first-beta-os-x-mavericks-1094-seeded-developers) and more recently to customers who enrolled in the company's AppleSeed (http://www.imore.com/apple-seeds-new-os-x-1094-beta-appleseed-testers) program, which provides pre-release software to a limited number of Mac users.</p> <p>On Monday Apple posted 10.9.4 (http://www.imore.com/apple-released-os-x-1094-wi-fi-fixes-safari-705) for the general public. According to the release notes, the update "fixes an issue that prevented some Macs from automatically connecting to known Wi-Fi networks" and "improves the reliability of waking from sleep."</p> <p>Back in April I told you about a way I'd discovered to at least temporarily fix the problem. It involved blasting your Mac's Bluetooth prefs (http://www.imore.com/how-fix-mavericks-wi-fi-zapping-bluetooth) and starting over from scratch. Indeed, it did fix my problems, but they eventually returned after I'd started adding back in Bluetooth devices.</p> <p>What was so maddening about it is that even after I removed the Bluetooth device profiles, the problem kept happening. Only taking the scorched earth approach — deleting that Bluetooth plist file in Mavericks' Preferences folder would do the trick.</p> <p>Apple doesn't note any changes to Bluetooth in this release, and as usual, its release notes are vague enough that it's unclear what exactly was done to fix the Wi-Fi wake from sleep issue.</p> <p>I've updated, of course, and I haven't seen the problem manifest itself. But it's only been a couple of hours, so it's really too soon to tell.</p> <p>Now that the update is out in the world, I encourage you to download it and install it to see if it makes a difference. Then report back here and let me know.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-25458"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3c086700/sc/5/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
