Apple has updated both OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 on Aug. 13, probably for the last time other than for security fixes.
The updates’ appearance signaled that Apple is just weeks away from introducing their successors, OS X El Capitan and iOS 9. Now has stable performance under Yosemite 10.10.
No matter it’s disc loading speed, Blu-ray playback or adding external subtitles, this player shows much more improvements now after several updates, just like Apple’s regular patches and fixes releases. With the upcoming of OS X El Capitan’s official launch, Macgo will speed up its development on introducing the perfect Blu-ray Player software for Mac OS X 10.11. The latest update to OS X 10.10.5 is the final OS X Yosemite non-security update. It resolves over 100 bugs and technical glitches in the operating system, including QuickTime, Bluetooth, Notification Center, the Mac OS X kernel, and the serious problem known as DYLD, which is a serious vulnerability in OS X Yosemite that would allow hackers to run programs on a Mac remotely with administrator rights, opening up wide access to the whole operating system.
Now this problem has been patched through improvements in environment sanitization. Meanwhile, iOS 8.4.1 focused on bug fixes for the new Apple Music, the subscription-based streaming music service. OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite) can be downloaded from Apple’s website or installed through the operating system’s built-in update service. Users can download iOS 8.4.1 over the air from iOS devices, or through iTunes. Before the DYLD exploit occurs, many computer security researchers have said that they are becoming frustrated at the slow pace of response. Fortunately, this time the company finished the DYLD vulnerability patch less than a month after disclosure. Also Apple will also take more measures to harden its operating system against hackers, announcing that OS X El Capitan 10.11 will ship with a new security feature called “rootless”, which is designed to restrict third-party apps from modifying certain parts of the system even though they are running as root.
We are still not sure when the next OS X – El Capitan 10.11 will be officially released, by then users can upgrade it for free. As long as the OS was launched, Macgo will update its Mac products line, such as Mac Blu-ray Player and Mac Media Player for better user experience. Especially for users who wanna play Blu-ray on OS X 10.11, its Mac Blu-ray Player is a really cleaver choice for them to play Blu-ray Disc, Blu-ray ISO files, Blu-ray Menu, and BDMV folder on Mac. Users who are interested can here to try their Blu-ray resources.
Also a Blu-ray drive is needed to play Blu-ray discs. Macgo can recommend a powerful that works well with its products to users.
