Security Update 2015-002

Yesterday Apple released Security Update 2015-002 for OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite. Update any supported system using the built-in Software Update functionality through the Mac App Store, or by using the standalone installer available from Apple.com.

Download the Security Update 2015-002 for OS X Yosemite​

This update is unlike other Security Updates as it contains an updated kernel and OS X build number (14C1510). This requires the system to reboot after installation, and can cause issues for those using a patched kernel or alternate NVIDIA drivers. Please read through the following.

NVIDIA Alternate Drivers
If you run the NVIDIA Alternate Drivers for 10.10.2, changes the OS X build number to 14C1510. Therefore the NVIDIA drivers package doesn't recognize it as a valid OS version.

UPDATE: NVIDIA HAS RELEASED A NEW DRIVER PACKAGE 343.02.02f03:

NVIDIA should update the drivers package in the next day or two, but if you find yourself unable to install the drivers, you can temporarily modify the build number as shown here.

Or you can modify the NVDAStartup.kext as shown here:

Or install older beta versions of the drivers as shown here:

Kernel
If your system requires a patched kernel in order to provide enhanced support for X99 systems, it will need to be re-patched. You may need to boot into the UniBeast installer in order to use the Terminal to re-patch the kernel. Please follow the instructions here for full details:

Good luck!

Probably the safest approach, if you've installed with the Security Update, would be to use the nVidia beta driver as netkas proposed here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=20808683&postcount=10

However, if you haven't installed the Security Update, wait for the nVidia updated driver.

I really wish I would have waited, I did the update and I couldn't use NVidia, so I decided to wipe my drive reinstall clover and then set up time machine so incase it ever happened I could back up. I JUST finally got my system up and running with help from http://www.tonymacx86.com/alternate...-user-clover-plz-read-configuring-clover.html And had not set up a restore or back up. and some how I do not believe clover set up a recovery like it is supposed to, and if it did I couldn't access it. I wiped everything out and tried to reinstall but I get stuck so I will post in a new thread with my issue. Just in short. DONT do any upgrades until someone in the community says its okay.

PSA: ALWAYS make a backup of your currently installed OSX using a tool like CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) to an image or another drive BEFORE installing any system updates. This will ensure you have the ability to restore to exactly as you had it before, incase something goes wrong.

Just did the upgrade, I had a proper backup from CCC but not needed.

Clicked on the upgrade in the Software Update, quick reboot. I've checked the vital signs on the computer, it all looks fine. I'm AMD based so no nvidia issues, Chimera looks OK as well.

A really dull and boring upgrade (which are the absolute best).

Don't assume that the update broke anything - Check first.

I haven't installed the update yet, but I'm getting that error as well. Looks like it's just a temporary issue with Apple's servers.
