    With any luck, this will help.

    Late Tuesday, Apple released version 10.0.4 of its iMovie editing suite. The new version, which can be downloaded via OS X’s Software Update feature, adds the following fixes and changes:

    – Improves stability and resolves issues that could cause iMovie to quit unexpectedly

    iMovie 10.0.4 requires an Intel-based Mac running OS X 10.9.2 or late to install and run.

    If you’ve tried the new version and have any feedback to offer, please let us know in the comments.

  • OS X 10.9.2 update is out, run don’t walk to Software Update

    apple_logoAmongst recent criticism about Apple’s failure to fix an SSL security flaw in OS X, and recently patched on iDevices with iOS 7.0.6, today they released the OS X 10.9.2 update which is available via the App Store app. There was a long list of application updates and system fixes, but noticeably absent in the list was mention of the specific SSL security hole that has been dominating the news recently. The good news is that several sources confirm that there is indeed a fix for it present in the update. This one is pretty important, so it is strongly recommended that you apply the update sooner rather than later…like now would be a good time. Apple historically does not like to confirm or draw notice to security issues in software, especially not ones that have been around longer than they should have been, which probably accounts for this. Apple’s official page on the update is here, but a list of items is included below.

    My personal recommendations for applying system updates;

    1. Make sure you run a backup, or that Time Machine has done so recently
    2. Close all running apps (except the App Store of course)
    3. Open Disk Utility and perform a Repair Permissions, the close Disk Utility
    4. Install the update
    5. Once the Mac applies the update and reboots, run Repair Permissions again
    6. Go get some coffee
