Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 3

[metfuel]

My gripes with the new look are

1) The folders are disgusting. They look like a horrible windows theme; the old folder honestly would have worked better.
2) The toolbar buttons look out of place. They should have gotten rid of the outlines all together and just used the icons.
3) What is with the paper texture, such as the one used in the Notes application?

Weird I'm on 10.10 preview 1 but no updates in the App Store for me.

One of my test systems updated to Beta3 the other one did not. It's probably on a rolling update, it will come around soon enough.

Disappointing we got to five pages before this meme. But that is good news, and I'm sure it will get snappier still in the forthcoming betas.

It took five Pages for this to be posted because I was making it.

The incomplete dark mode featured dark window chrome, in the finder at least. Maybe Apple still needs to update their apps.

Oh, I didn't know that. Do you have a screen shot of it? I wondered how it looked.

Anyone else having a problem enabling wifi? On my 2013 Mac Pro it won't turn on no matter how many times I try to enable it.

 

[Mac.User]

Works on my 2014 11in Air.

Continuity and Handoff

The Continuity and Handoff are missing from the Bluetooth section of System Information. Just says Bluetooth Low Energy Supported now.

Phone calling continuity feature now available

Just tried it on my 2009 MacBook pro and calling worked.

Slight separation between top of application and menubar

Is anyone else having a problem where they can't get the application window fully up to the top of the menubar? There is a slight gap that is just a little annoying:

When do you guys think an update iTunes will come out?

 

[junkymonkey]

Just tried it on my 2009 MacBook pro and calling worked.

Not for me. Mid 2011 Macbook Pro. Handoff not working either using a GBU521.

Lync

Can anyone confirm that MS Lync is fixed in DP3?

Nope - Microsoft will need to fix Lync - probably not until after launch

 

[Fangio]

~700k?? Thats lame, Apple..

30min to go

Dark Mode is in beta 3. Looks awful if you have any non-Apple icons in your menu bar.

How do you turn it on?

 

[IsiahMS]

Looks like you can send Text Messages.. although it didn't go through for me?

 

[darthjames]

Phone calls work in DP3... damn bill collectors...

For most people (or for me at least) we don't have the money for separate work/personal/dev machines, so the betas get installed on the only device I have. I'm not saying people have a right to complain about bugs because it is a beta, but the argument that it shouldn't be installed on personal machines isn't always valid.

If you indeed have access to the beta, that means you are indeed a member of the developer program, no?

I've met very few developers that don't have the hardware to add an extra partition for beta testing.

you don't need two machines, just the ability to boot from two separate drives. a $50 hdd isn't a valid barrier for common sense.

I'm definitely gonna miss the old time machine UI!

I don't think this "problem" is unintentional. The gap is on purpose and, if anything, the "bug" is that Apple allows you to drag windows into it initially before it snaps back.

I'm guessing it happens because Apple has removed the divider line in favor of a transparent 1px divider or "gap".

Not for me. Mid 2011 Macbook Pro. Handoff not working either using a GBU521.

Worked on my mid 2011 17" MBP. Can call out by clicking on phone numbers, or answer from pop-up. Also now my iPad has a "slide to answer" when someone calls the iPhone.

 

[Kariya]

Anybody else having trouble with audio?

Handoff

Unfortunately, from Beta 2 to Beta 3, hand-off has disappeared from my general settings.

 

[petvas]

It's still here on my rMBP and iMac.

I have it too but I think it's not a gap, but a border line.
