Q: 10.10.4 Update did not verify

I've been in the 10.10.4 beta testing cohort, last updated 6/16 to 14E36b.

 

Successfully downloaded 10.10.4 official release 6/30, tried to install as usual.  Soon encountered update failed to verify (never seen before).  Upon reboot, App Store warned some updates not installed. 

 

Things are working, but I'm unsure what I'm running now or how I should proceed.  

 

Any ideas?

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    Download the combo updater just to be sure and reinstall on top of the present OS.

    Thanks for your help Glenn, but I've been fighting alligators since I first tried to install 10.10.4

     

    I was able to download the "combo" update, but when I tried to open it, I got a message "checksum error", and that's that.

     

    All at the same time, my hard drive has a "SMART failing" diagnostic, so I've made an appointment at the Apple Store for this Saturday.

     

    At one point my Mac would not even boot, but I've started from a USB 10.10 install stick and was able to erase my disk and restore from my Time Machine Backup.   As reassuring as that is, I guess my hard drive's days are numbered. 

     

    On top of that, I was able to update my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.4, but can no longer join my wi-fi network, like my iPad does with no problem.   It keeps saying "incorrect password".  I see there's community traffic about that from way back, but no definite solution.   I'm going to call my ISP for advice on some things I don't understand on the router.

     

    Two days lost so far.   I'm really getting tired of fighting problems that have no solutions.

    Seems like a string of bad luck. Hard drive failure. Now you have problems with your iPhone update.

     

    Now my wife's computer won't boot up. Never even did the update yet. Guess the bad luck is spreading.

     

    Good Luck
