Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite Beta (Formerly iOS 8 Beta/Mac OS 10.10 Beta)


Recommended Posts

I'm estimated to have Yosemite downloaded in 5 days, 13 hours!

(Which is odd, because I just downloaded it and installed everything fine on my work laptop in screaming fast record time. LOL)

As soon as my Mac is backed up I'll be upgrading to Yosemite. It is done downloading at least.

Is it just me or is the final release of yosemite no where near as transparent as what they originally had....I am actually annoyed with this. I liked the transparency. Now I feel like its just mavericks with window design changes.

 

Edit: I stil have feedback assistant. Is this something they kept or am I still running the beta even after installing the public release onto my computer...

I don't have feedback assistant.

Does anyone have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics cards that now freezes while switching from integrated to discrete graphics since updating to Yosemite? I've had 8 or 9 hard freezes since last night.

I did the beta, but I'm really considering a clean install now. 

 

Only part of my hard drive I don't want to leave behind are the photos. Other than that? I could go for the clean slate.

Check out Carbon Copy Cloner. You can clone your hard drive to an external, then do the clean install, and then copy back what you need.

+1. The new version for Yosemite is excellent. Can't recommend it enough.

Wow apple wasn't kidding when they said they improved watching videos with yosemite while on battery. I just watched a 93 minute movie from 30% and my computer still had 10% left when it was done. Also, it was full brightness...Impressive.

I agree! Runs so much smoother and battery life is a whole lot better. And I'm on mid-2009 13" MBP with a service battery notification. The thing is getting old, but seeing that I juiced up with 8 gigs of ram and a SSD I hope I'll get another 2 years out of my MBP, unless of course Apple stops supporting it for upgrades...

Historically, 10.11 will be the last OS for that Mac, but since some 2007 Macs got 10.10, I think 10.12 will be the last for the 2009 MBP's.

Apparently if you were a beta tester, they are seeding the beta to you as well. I just installed 10.10.1

Nice! I may look into doing that, but we will see.

Well it's running smoothly. I should really reconsider installing betas on my computer, as this is my work computer as well....lol. And I stupidly don't have time machine back ups. I'm what makes people cringe. I should really get an external drive lol. Perhaps for black friday.

Do it! Get a backup! Believe me, it's a lifesaver! Trust me on that one. And I don't mind installing betas on my computer since I have Time Machine running, but I just don't have time to mess around with it.

Loaded 10.10.1 this AM; fixes a major wifi bug some were hitting;

Running fine so far; heads up on a major hacker bug: RootPipe: allows root access

and machine takeover; 10.10.1 DOES NOT patch this bug, however..Apple

is investigating as we write...

Good lord...My computer took almost 3 minutes to shut down just now. I looked up the causes...Freaking parallels. I uninstalled and the computer shuts down in seconds and boots up in a few more. Amazing. Went from almost 4+ minutes to less than 20 for the entire process.

That's why I use VMWare Fusion. Doesn't adversely affect my system.

I don't even need parallels. I honestly have no idea how it got on my computer, but it was causing my shut down to take forever. Fortunately a bunch of users had the same issue when they installed yosemite and figured it out. I had thought it was yosemite just made like that, but then my brother restarted his right next to me in no less than 15 seconds or so and I knew it was something up with mine.....Glad I fixed it though lol.

I'm glad you did too. Too bad it was Parallels being the problem.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
