All:
Soooo....today's 10.10.3 update will not install on my iMac (new i5, 2.7GHz, etc.). It gives repeated corrupt download and "did not install" errors, asking me repeatedly to restart and repeatedly trying to re-download the darn thing.
The other portion of today's update (the thing that improves Yosemite's compatibility with Time Machine) installed fine.
Anyone else having trouble??

Dear Billish,
Sorry to hear that your update didn't work.
Well, you know what I've first applied for the complimentary update program of Apple, then updated my mac to 10.10.3 it downloaded about 1.52 GB of data and installation just went fine.
I'm using Mid 2012 MBP with HD upgraded to 1TB SSD & 8GB DDR3 RAM.
Regards,
SAAA.
UPDATE: OK, the "separate" update ended up working the fourth time through. The smaller "time machine compatibility" or whatever update installed fine the first time, though. Have zero idea what the issue was. Ended up having to hard force reboot at least once.
UPDATE #2: Okay, now I'm having the EXACT same problem on my wife's 2012 MacBook Air. The first time through, it downloads the entire "combo" update of 2.02 GB or so. However, only the "OS X Yosemite Recovery Update" installs properly. The "OS X Update 10.10.3" update reports corruptions, file cant be verified, etc. and asks me to try again repeatedly. Upon the re-tries, it only downloads the 1.52GB remaining of the "combo" update.
There's DEFINITELY something wrong with the update files/process for this one in the AppStore. No question in my mind.

I am having exactly the same issue as Billish. 2013 MBP 15". The update repeatedly fails reporting failure to verify/corruption etc. This MBP has a fairly fresh instal of OS X Yosemite following some previous unrelated problems - so I don't think the existing instal has any issues. It must be the download.
OK - I discovered my problem. A VPN was running on my connection. Turned that off and the install downloaded and completed without issue.
I have repeatedly tried to install v10.10.3 Yosemite and it downloads about 1.31 GB of the 1.52 and then says it is now going to restart in so many seconds, it counts down and then a window comes up saying "the available updates have changed" and ends there, I never get as far as "Installation"..Recovery update downloaded and installed just fine. Don't know what to do from here. Is this a problem with my computer...2011
I rebooted and tried the download again today and it downloaded and installed this time?? Can't figure that out but thanks, I now have the new Photos app?
I ran the Combo update and I get same notification after reboot "didn't install properly". When I go to Software Update it indicates the Update needs to be installed yet every failed attempt is journalled as having been successful for a 10.10.3 install. I verified the install and its still at 10.10.2.
The issue I am having is with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Supplemental Update 10.10.3
It downloaded fine, but when my MacPro reboots it hangs and then I have to power off. Then when I restart, it still shows the update as waiting on a machine restart. I have tried it at least half a dozen times and each time the same thing.
Any suggestions from anyone?
Thanks.
I had this issue over and over in my MBP mid 2010 when first installing Yosemite.
Had to dig REALLY deep in forums to get the answer that worked for me: the RAM modules weren't originals and thats a problem in Yosemite. I had personally upgraded from 4GB to 8GB and it seems the new memory isn't completely Apple compatible. Then I just inserted the old modules in and it installed right away. Later I've re-inserted the new modules and it works. Sometimes I get a few kernel panics, but it was common in Mavericks already. Looks like Yosemite is more sensible regarding non-original memories, when performing system changes, than other OSx versions.
So, if any of you guys made a RAM upgrade, I highly suggest you to insert the old modules and check if the update works then. 😉
Let me know if it helps.
I have exactly the same scenario - upgraded RAM on a MBP mod 2010. I popped one module out (4Gb) and restarted. Installs are working fine now with all 8Gb re-installed after last reboot.
Nice find !
