Testing for iOS 10.10.1

Probably not iOS 10.10.1 for a few years yet.

Edit: Now they've fixed it my comment is obsolete... Such is life.

Downloading and installing right now.

Hopefully this fixes the Magic Trackpad with MacBooks on battery. Laggy as all heck on 10.10.0.

Installing now ... crossing my fingers and rummaging through the list of fixes looking for the annoying hostname renumbering bug...

MacBook Pro (8) or was it (7), yesterday it was (9)...

Argh.

311 MB, downloading now.

I hope the Wifi problem is fixed ...:roll eyes:

I hope they fix the ridiculous DNS issue!

Anyone know if it fixes Time Machine browsing?

According to the release notes it should:

Resolves an issue that might prevent Time Machine from displaying older backups

Woah! My rMBP feels snappier already!

Got it installed—I'll have to check later if it fixes this multiple displays bug (https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20249058).

I'll update this post if it does.

Edit: Nope, looks like this bug is still around. Bummer

Hope this fixes the laggy wired keyboard issue.
But I'll wait to install until others do and I get positive feedback.

Are they ever gonna fix Handoff? It barely mostly never works

Really hope the Wifi fix really fixes my Wifi issues.

I'm not holding my breath. I am at (10) today.

I think I'm still getting beta's and whatever one I'm on right now has been the worse. Serious lag issues switching full screen windows and the internet connectivity seems to keep getting worse.

I really hope the Wi-Fi issue is resolved. I couldn't watch a whole movie with AirPlay from my laptop to my Apple TV without it disconnecting from the Wi-Fi and the movie stopping, multiple times during one movie.

For what it is worth, I've been running the 10.10.1 beta for a couple of weeks and it really seemed to stabilize everything. Wi-fi has been solid for me in comparison to 10.10.0. Mail seems much improved as well.

Overall, I'd say it is a great update.

I know this is not helpful to you at all, but I've got to say, Handoff has been somewhat reliable for me since iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite were released to the public.

Seeing same thing here. Then when I log into to iMessage it acts like I'm a logging in from a different computer because the host name changed.

No issues installing on my 2010 iMac at all. My 2013 rMBP upon rebooting came up with the gray screen on top of everything else. I'm assuming due to all open windows reopening. Turns out it was Setup Assistant that opened when the computer came back up. My spaces hot corner would work to see what was opened but no way to use the computer. I tried to reboot the computer with the power button but when the window came up asking what I wanted to do, I would get an error saying I needed to close Setup Assistant. So I was forced to do a forced shutdown.

But everything came back up with no problems at all.

Really? Works pretty well for me.

Seems to be stuck on the Restarting screen. Been like that for the last 10 minutes. Must. Resist. Urge. To. Force. Reboot. Must.

D.

Edit: Couldn't resist. Forced reboot. Everything seems fine.

Can someone please post some updates on general UI lag/choppiness issues? Specifically with retina macbook pros now with transparency turned on?

Nothing else to do than to update iPhone and OS X at once! Here we go...
