Erm, no, in the Menu Bar it says Appstore, and that's where it takes you, you then have to click updates.
Yeah, it's still broken for me as well. Seems odd that they would claim to have fixed this problem, yet obviously didn't.
For those who've enabled dev mode for modified kexts (Trim enabler, continuity activation, etc.), is it safe to update as is or must I restore the original kexts first?
The processes were launchd and fseventsd. Happened after updating to, and a clean install of, Yosemite.
updated my 2014 MBPr and all is well - had an accasional wi-fi drop out before but only every now and again. My works laptop running XP is constantly losing its VPN connection so maybe its a router issue.
Yep. I have a desktop PC running Windows 8.1, and I stuff just about every HDD I can find in that thing. I use it to store all my media files in HD, which I then stream to various devices throughout the house.
In Mavericks, SMB file sharing was a mess. The connection was unstable and transfer speeds were slow and inconsistent. Often times the connection would drop mid-transfer. With Yosemite, it's now working great -- speed is respectable, and the connection is responsive, stable and secure.
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....
If you have something like Little Snitch you can see that discoveryd process just going NUTS! It's no wonder the WiFi is dropping out. Any network your computer is connected to eventually says "F U! THAT'S ENOUGH!" and disconnects. Is that process new? I've never noticed it in Little Snitch before Yosemite. The way it works really doesn't seem like a good security idea.
I'm running a Mac Pro XEON 2.93GHz and you're running a 2012 Mini and you're actually stating that the boot time in Yosemite is not slower than in Mavericks by 2X and the spinning beach ball isn't a problem?
Let's just say I don't believe you or that your Mini beats my Mac Pro! HAHA!
I had Yosemite on my 2012 Mac Mini until I got my 27" iMac and it worked fine, no beach balls and boot time seemed the same as it did with Mavericks.
Since I have multiple drives and Yosemite installations of both Mavericks & Yosemite, I'm sorry. I simply don't buy your story and think it's false.
And if it is true, it means Apple has clearly thrown late model non-cylindrical Mac Pro users under the bus.
I have Yosemite on 3 machines now, a 2013 rMBP, a 2013 27" iMac, and a 2013 MBA. Other than the broken Time Machine, they all work fine. Boot time is quick, and I don't have any beach ball issues.
Sorry it doesn't work so well for you, but other than the TM issues it's been a decent upgrade for me so far.
I agree that Snow Leopard was the most recent version that focused on seriously improving the under-the-hood stuff (but whatever did happen to Grand Central Station, which sounded genuinely interesting?). A lot of the additions made since seem primarily intended to steer the user to one or another of Apple's other moneymaking enterprises, usually iCloud. I won't say these aren't useful to many individual users, but it's high time that the development team returns to basics and starts thinking harder about how to help us squeeze more and better performance out of the gear we have.
And I'm amazed that Apple let v.10.1 get out the door without fixing the iPhone/Mac Bluetooth pairing issue. At the moment, Yosemite's highly touted integration of the iPhone with the Mac via FaceTime just flat doesn't work.

I still have this problem with older TM backups. when I try to access them TM just sits there spinning for ages and nothing happens.
Is this a known issue? I've had big problems with handoff from my mac to my 5S (it just doesn't work). I spent several hours on the phone with applecare and got nowhere. They finally said they'll escalate it to engineering and I have not heard from them since. That was at about a month ago. 10.10.1 did not help.
Since I have a nice, big SSD I wouldn't be able to tell a 2x difference in almost no boot time

I have an SSD too. Sorry. Your story doesn't ring true. In fact outright phony.
HyperZBoy is right. Bootup is slower but shutdown time is horrendous. I think it takes about 3 minutes for a shutdown and that is with very few applications open.
UPDATE: I just installed Yosemite on a '09 Mac Mini and shutdown was very fast, boot up much slower. On my Mac Pro and MBP shutdown is very slow; startup a little faster than shutdown. So shutdown performance appears to be a function of how many or which processes are loaded.

hahahah. dude face it your machine is busted. just because people have faster machines than you don't get bent.
Boot time between Mavericks and Yosemite is identical for me on my 11' MBP on SSD: 7 to 8 seconds...every...single...time...
The boot time and shutdown time for my rMBP mid 2012 is jut absolutely fine.
Mac mini 2012 also have the same boot and shutdown time.
