Apple Seeds First OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite Beta to Developers [Updated]

kildjean said:
I'm just waiting for them to unlock the builds so I can re-image new hardware we receive with our yosemite corporate image... I find it ridiculous Apple locks out the OS from being applied to newer hardware... Because every new Yosemite Mac we get, we have to manually configure it...

it sucks... :(

Huh? Any hardware that is out now can run the "retail" builds of either 10.10 or 10.10.1. There's no machine-specific versions of Yosemite yet.
If you have a Yosemite image, it'll go on any hardware that's out now. (Or did you mean a Mavericks corporate image?)
 
They've fixed the volume bezel when the transparency is disabled!

Funny my WiFi is down as I read it yet oddly I can still send and receive imessage but websites don't load. Strange
 
Can't even connect to the latest version of Time Capsule with my MBA 2014 because of Yosemite which is very much at a BETA status. Stupid Apple, can't you even test basic things before releasing software!?? Quality control dropping for each year...

How exactly? The update is available for me too, since I am a registered developer, but before I install it I would like to know more details. Thanks.

Sorry I've been offline trying to recover.

Its hard to describe, but the "Default" resolution changed. All UI objects were extremely zoomed...except the Dock, oddly enough.

I played with the display resolution settings hoping to recover....no good. Then I rebooted and it booted to a black screen. I said no thank you, and spent the last 30 min restoring from a Time Machine backup.

Wish I still had ML. Apple spends a quarter of a year B.S.ing about how their great, coming-soon new Mac OS will be the best, most amazing OS ever. Then they spend an hour releasing it only to spend the next three-quarters of a year trying to fix it as much as possible before Tim & Jony's next OS Fashion Show release.

For example, we have a yosemite image that works on all our mavericks macs we bought prior to yosemite's release.

When you boot from that image on a brand new Yosemite (pre-installed) Macbook pro, you will get a circle with a bar across. This happens because Apple locks the images to not install on newer hardware until they usually release 10.10.2 or .3... This is how it happened with mavericks and you were trying to re-image mavericks on a new hardware.

I've just installed 10.10.2 on my Mac Mini. Now, for the first time in Yosemite, the tab switching animation in the About this Mac window is finally smooth. :cool:

Hopefully it's a system-wide improvement.

Anyone got the direct link?

As I said before, the direct links are in apple's developer forums.

We can't post it here because it is against macrumors rules.

Not sure if the mac-specific subforums will show up for you in those forums though if you are only registered as an ios developer. No much I can do about that.

That happened with Mavericks if you were using an older version of Mavericks than was supported on that hardware. I'm able to reimage Macs with 10.10 preinstalled, as long as I'm using a 10.10 install image, without issue (nor did I have issues with 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9.) I suspect something may be wrong with your image. What are you using to deploy the images and how are you creating the image?
Apple does not lock their installers, but you cannot image a Mac with a version of the OS earlier than it came with. (there are a few exceptions.)
The matrix of OS versions is here:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1159
Note that both the retina iMac and 2014 Mini use the same build of 10.10 as was available in the App Store. (The App Store build has now been updated to 10.10.1.)

I can't believe people are able to spend so much time messing about with a new OS. I need rock solid reliability. The every year osx update model is crazy.
 
Good thing only Apple developer's are testing this first beta on their test machines otherwise normal end users would be experiencing this initial beta buggyness on systems that they use day by day.

Good for them finally fixing a bug that's been around since DP1 :rolleyes:
Can't wait to get my hands on the upcoming public beta release and see this for myself.

OS X 10.10.1 introduced several reliability enhancements, including improvements to Wi-Fi, but many users have still been reporting issues with Wi-Fi stability in Yosemite.

Dunno if this is what they're talking about, but I've got a new Linksys WRT 1900AC dual-band router, and my iMac 14,2 seems to have an issue losing the 5 GHz band, and sliding over to the 2.4 GHz band.

Wow, talk about your "first world problems."

Even more irony: Where YOU live USED to be the "second world.":eek:
