Apple Releases Third OS X Yosemite Public Beta, Developer Preview 8

[Drew017]

Did they finally fix the Top Sites button in Safari so it is white like all the other buttons, rather than gray?

yup!

 

[jehrler]

yup!

Yay. Now if it would just show up in Updates....

 

[Zombolo]

Animations are so smooth

Hardware accelleration is now enabled on my Macbook Air 2014. ^__^

 

[GoldenChild]

DP8 installed, was 948mb on my 2010 MacBook.

Lightning fast and feels much smoother than DP7. Just hoping Preview and Quicktime are fixed, kept getting a weird bug where they'd eventually not open but wouldn't force quit either and prevented a shut down.

Not sure I care for the new battery icon very much.

Does anyone else miss the iOS 8 long battery bar? This small square one looks weird to me.

 

[jbachandouris]

Yay. Now if it would just show up in Updates....

Exactly! Been hitting refresh too many times today. Refresh for app store and refresh at UPS.com.

 

[Yugure]

Safari in the public release refuses to load any content for 20 minutes at a time and labels all tabs as "Untitled 2" for me. Hrm.

EDIT: Bah. And I lost half my tabs in the process. They're blank without a URL. That's annoying.

 

[skipbarker]

App Store propagation has gotten so slow.

 

[Mattsasa]

Taking bets...this is the last DP.

probably... GM in about 2/3 weeks, early oct... then official release in late October.

anyone here tried all of CS6 on yosemite yet?

what is CS6?
creative studio 6?

October 21.

how do you know?

For those wondering about SMS relay...

From the DP 8 release notes.

SMS Note

- SMS Continuity is not currently available for testing. It will be available in October via a free update to iOS 8.

Also, for those who are using FileVault...

Installation Known Issue

- Users with automatic installation of updates enabled will not be automatically logged in after reboot from installing Developer Preview 8. If FileVault is enabled, the system will shut down if the user does not log in shortly after reboot.

That seems quite long! iOS8 will be out soon, that means continuity won't work for quite a while. Unless they mean the 1st of October

By the way I'm super confused about Handoff/Continuity, will any of it work for me? With the final release I mean. (Macbook late '09 white unibody, Core2Duo, 250 GB HDD) As far as I know I won't be able to use any of the features but I've seen topics on here of people who suddenly got a call on their unsupported mac.

 

[JGIGS]

you’re right: nothing is customizable. I haven’t Yosemite in action yet, but if it’s as ugly as iOS 7, I will not be happy.

Just yesterday I was looking at iOS Notification Center and thinking it was the ugliest thing ever. White spaces, horizontal lines, lack of icons or weather or traffic, no indentation, ...

I the new style think it looks better on Mac OS then on it does on iOs. Not sure why.

This is coming from someone that absolute hates the look of ios 7/8. The only nice looking icon is the working clock icon in ios.

Does this enable handoff on mid-2011 MBA finally?

finger crossed

 

[ikir]

Still not showing up, i can't wait My main system is already on beta 2, impressive for a beta.

Safari is behaving beautifully over here, hmm... Trying resetting history?

 

[NSXRebel]

anyone here tried all of CS6 on yosemite yet?

CS6 is working fine for me. Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, InDesign, Premiere

Microsoft Office 2011 works

Final Cut Pro X works great too, ver 10.1.2

Compressor works

Motion works

Final Cut Pro 7, I have yet to install and test it out. It was working for me under Mavericks.

Avid Media Composer, I had ver 6 running on Mavericks, haven't tried that out yet.

Davinci Resolve 11 just got released for Mavericks and works on Yosemite


The latest update is not showing up for me though, guess it was taken down, but I'll keep checking later. I'm on PB2

 

[imm22]

Um, the extensions in Safari are not working, I'm not even able to turn them on. Anyone else?

Works for me too

 

[tywebb13]

Not sure if they really meant to release PB3 today. I think they released it by accident. And that is why it was pulled.

It would be better to give a new build to developers first, give them time to try it out, submit bug reports and then give out a public beta at least 1 day after (or a few days).

So maybe they will re-release PB3 again tomorrow.

 

[unobtainium]

What's the build number of PB3 and the build number of DP8? Identical?

 

[tywebb13]

As Fangio said before,

DP8 = build 14A361c
PB3 = build 14A361p (although this may change for a re-release)

Mail is Broke

I am having no luck forwarding emails, attaching to emails via drag and drop. Has anyone else had/have this issue?

DP 8 is 14A361c PB 3 has a different number. I don't know what that is as I am using DP 8.

 

[Shaqtus]

I started downloading it, and stopped because i lost wifi. Now i go back to start the download again and it says no update available

It is not clear yet, if Apple pulled PB 3 completely, or there was some kind of glitch, as several people could not finish downloading.

Thanks.
