Apple pushes out 10.9.3 update to OS X Mavericks

By Mel Martin

Check the Mac App Store for a minor update to OS X which hit today. It's not a stellar update with tons of new features, but here's what Apple tells us:

  • Improves 4K display support on Mac Pro (Late 2013) and MacBook Pro with 15-inch Retina Display (Late 2013)
  • Adds the ability to sync contacts and calendars between a Mac and iOS device using a USB connection
  • Improves the reliability of VPN connections using IPsec
  • Resolves an issue that prevented Font Book from installing PostScript Type 1 fonts
  • Improves reliability of copying, editing and inspecting permissions of files on an SMB file server
  • Improves reliability of network home directories
  • Improves stability when installing configuration profiles
  • Improves login speed for users in Active Directory groups
  • Includes Safari 7.0.3

As always, after downloading the 10.9.3 update your Mac will require a reboot to complete installation. The update went smoothly for me, and I'm not seeing reports of troublesome issues so far. Apple also did a minor update to iTunes today, which is also available from the Mac App Store.
