Apple Releases OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 With Wi-Fi Reliability Improvements

kext tweak on MBA mid 2011

Does it break the kext updates I did with Continuity Activation Tool on my MBA mid-2011 13"?

I updated my MBA mid 2011 13" - the update process was smoothly without any freeze. Before the update, I had the kext continuity tweak applied. Handoff and Instant Hotspot did work. After the update, the system reports both services to be "Off" again.
 
Very good. I've been experiencing some problems with my unifi wireless system... :confused:
 
I have a 2008 Mac Pro with 16mb RAM and a 2013 Retina MBP with 8mb RAM, I'm running Yosemite on both and it works very well, with no speed issues. I did however do clean installs on both systems.

Time Machine is still totally and utterly borked. Cannot browse with favourites, only way to access backups is navigating to the HDD first then browse back from there.

I have a complete new system ( Macbook Retina, Time Machine ) and just tried yet another clean install via USB. STILL FRIGGIN BROKEN!!

If (;)) they fixed anything must have been deep in some internal as for me the app is still showing Version 1.3 built 9 Sept. and the backupd.bundle in Core Services is the same date

10.10.0 Works fine on my 2012 mini. The only issue 10.10.1 fixes that I've noticed is Time Machine browsing. All I can suggest is to report bugs to Apple. Eventually they'll ask you for various logs, which might help them fix those bugs.

My only other major issue isn't related to any specific OS X version; iTunes is just crap at handling podcasts. Some of the problems are known bugs, so all I can do is wait. Others I'm waiting for answers to.
 
Fingers so very crossed that this fixes my wifi and bluetooth issues so I can use apple wireless keyboard, trackpad and mouse.

My 'new' macbooks keys have now become worn down, the very reason I bought a wireless keyboard in the first place :(
 
Hoping they finally looked at Airdrop , tried it again last night with my new iPhone 6 plus, nothing..nada zilch, I only want to drop a temp picture on my iMac, I can't send it via iCloud Drive, Airdrop doesn't work, ended up using Dropbox, worked in a few secs.. C'mon Apple..
 
Still the new discoveryd bug exists that wakes both my Mac Pro 09 and iMac 2011 for a few seconds every 2 hours from sleep:(

The noise of the fans and drives spinning up wakes me so I have to shutdown every night which is getting annoying....

What issue? I did not notice any.

Which issue? I have a mid 2011 Mini with the AMD Radeon GPU and it has turned into a slug with Yosemite, I even upgraded to 8Gb RAM and it did absolutely nothing. This update did nothing as well

The Mini crashed while waking up from Sleep. It was quite annoying. I don't know if all Minis where affected, but a lot of Late 2012 owners had this problem.

Possible solution

Any idea if it fixes an issue with high CPU utilization? I had a few root processes in activity monitor that kept CPU usage high and the fans running full blast. With that, I was forced back to Mavericks.

Can you let me know which processes are causing your high CPU usage? There's a bug in Yosemite that could cause that. I'm curious if your case is the same situation that would cause this.

How much RAM is in your system? I recommend 16GB.

8GB is average. 16 or 32 guarantees a system you'd expect to run without any interruptions.

What does your System.log print out?

I own a mid 2014 13 inches rMBP 16g ram 256 ssd.

I'm really regretted about buying this machine.
 
Unread mail indicator is now incrementing with no unread messages

Yahoo mail is broken as well, can't send or receive emails, it continually drops offline and reconnects...

This .1 update is a fricking disaster :confused:

Anything in particular that makes you regret that machine? It sounds like a great machine for a lot of users, actually.

I know it's not the same for everyone, but this .1 update has been great on this end. I can finally use Back to my Mac again, my login screen hasn't been all white when waking up my laptop, and things just generally seem to be a bit smoother.

Yeah, almost seems like the TM "fixes" didn't make it in to 10.10.1 at all. It's just as hopelessly broken as it was before.

I wouldn't even want to run Snow Leopard on 4 GB of RAM.

Yet Mavericks and Mountain Lion ran fine on 4Gb. All I really do is use Safari and use Pages here and there

Running fine with an earlier release of a system that just went through a massive overhaul for 10.10 is not sound logic.

What is sound logic would be that 10.11 is to 10.10 what 10.9 was to 10.8.

Take Safari/WebKit. It's in the middle of restructuring it's entire foundation for an all llvm/clang infrastructure. We probably won't see the full fruits of the labor until Safari 9.

There is a lot of low level changes that will get flushed out.

However, with all this new interactivity between iOS and OS X systems, adding RAM is a smart move.

I thought I would see a difference, or at least a little difference and it didn't do a thing. Very odd, IMO

Even on a late model non-cylindrical Mac Pro. And we're talking 3Ghz XEON here, all 7200 rpm drives except for an SSD, which should be faster!

This update still doesn't fix the inability of Yosemite to know what the boot screen is. Should I really have to turn my HDTV on for Yosemite to work?

More troubling is that Apple appears to be only fixing things so far for shipping or just previously shipping Macs with no concern for Mac Pro users or other Mac users that this software is allegedly supported for.

I've filed at LEAST 45 bug reports with Apple now! Only a few of them have been fixed.

And the Feedback Assistant program itself still trashes the internet connection almost purposefully.

I'm getting to the point where I just want to make fun of Apple instead of reporting the bugs.

If you have a MAC PRO, YOU DO NOT WANT YOSEMITE!
None of the problems I've previously reported occur in Mavericks or even any version of Leopard or Lion.

Apple has created more bugs than features in this release. It's one of the worst ever OS updates that I can remember.

Yup, constant beach balls, start up takes forever with this line going across the screen signifying something but who knows what? I even get the beach ball just clicking on About This Mac. Something isn;t right with this OS

BS. On work i had a 4 gb iMac with mountain lion. It didn't ran very fast, but it ran just fine. If Yosemite doesn't run well with 8 gb, it's just a bad os.
Click to expand...

Absolutely
I'm beginning to think Apple jumped the shark with this update. I guarantee there are many people a whole lot less impressed with Apple right now

----------

Oh, I also see that after the update the computer uses even more RAM now. 3.8Gb RAM with just activity monitor and one page of Safari open.
Before the update it was around 3.2Gb

On *your* machine anyway. The vast majority of users aren't experiencing those issues. Granted it shouldn't be happening to yours either, but you are in the unfortunate minority having this problem.

Unfortunately I think you are correct. I am only having issues with TM on my 3 Macs, but for this to still be broken in a .1 release is inexcusable. And the seemingly widespread WiFi issues are also inexcusable in a .1 release. WiFi should not be that difficult.

Whenever the fans start going full blast and the system slows down, I open up Activity Monitor and invariably find "Safari Web Content (not responding)" taking up 100% CPU and 2-3 GB. When I hover it displays some URL that I don't even have open and didn't open during the session. I read somewhere that it's related to Top Sites, but I'm not sure.

i'm experiencing ui lag such as zoom in using mission control or switching between different space. restart will make thing back to smooth but the whole performance goes down as time goes.

Well, ever since Mavericks, OS X has started using empty RAM for preloading app cache data just like Windows has done since Vista. Whether you have 4, 8 or 16 GB (those happen to be the configurations on my three Macs), you'll very rarely see lots of empty gigabytes. I have 22 empty MB on this one right here and all I have open is Safari and Alex Server. My rMBP w/ 16 GB is showing 3 available GB w/ Safari, Pages and Photoshop open. This is normal and has nothing to do with the OS gobbling up memory for itself.
