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

I have a 2013 rMBP and never experienced much lag with the transparencies. I only have the 8GB model as well.

After the update, everything still seems smooth a silk. Hope you find the same.

Downloading now and hopeful for some new positive results.

Seems to be stuck on the Restarting screen. Been like that for the last 10 minutes. Must. Resist. Urge. To. Force. Reboot. Must.

Edit: Couldn't resist. Forced reboot. Everything seems fine.

Stuck on my iMac too... just a black screen with the mouse pointer showing.

Haven't forced reboot yet though.

EDIT: looks like it froze after finishing the download, but before actually installing. I forced a reboot, then installed the update and all is fine.

May improve wifi reliability - not wifi speed

Under Mavericks, my Wifi would always have a speed of 1300mbps (or at worst 867mbps)

Under 10.10, this dropped to 289mbps whenever discoveryd run or airdrop was used

I've just installed 10.10.1 ... and the speed loss is still there (wifi speed 289mbps, turn Wifi off then and back to 1300mbps)

Definitely still issues with Yosemite (issues Mavericks never had)

My only problem with Mail is that it doesn't seem to fetch new mail quite as often as I'd like. My iPhone and iPad will receive an email and then, between 5 and 10 minutes later, my MacBook will receive it. I just think Mail for OS X should be constantly 'looking', like on iOS.

I'd also like Mail on my iPad to respond to what I do in Mail on my iPhone sooner, too. For example, say I have 4 unread emails on my iPhone, I read them all and sort them/trash them. They'll still show as unread on my iPad lock screen and in the Mail app until the iPad either decides to search for new mail, or I manually update my mailbox. Other iOS devices should respond almost instantly to your actions on other devices and should dismiss lock screen notifications/unread items when they're dealt with on other devices.

It amazes me how we're still talking about this annoyance. Some of the things mentioned at Apple keynotes would lead you to believe this had been dealt with much sooner, but here we are, picking up drafts without an internet connections across devices, yet when it comes to notification badges and the Notification Center the devices are always just enough behind to trigger my OCD and have me clear them myself.

Same issue here, my wifi is "stucked" at 289mpbs at 5Ghz using Airport Extreme 2013.:(
 
Fixed my Google Mail SMTP problem in OS X Mail

Have not been able to reliably send Gmail over past week or so from OS X Mail. After applying this update, things seem to be working (so far).

Disappointed to hear that. That was one of the fixes I was hoping would be included. It's not critical to any functioning (that I have found yet) but is an obvious glitch I would like to see fixed.

Might have spoken too soon! I changed the name back to "MacBook Pro", put the computer to sleep, and restarted my AirPort Extreme. Since then it hasn't changed yet despite sleeping and waking the computer several times. So it might be fixed, but you need to restart your router.

Have you tried changing the setting in Mail > Preferences... > General > Check for new messages:? I have mine set to "Every minute". It seems to retrieve mail faster than my iOS devices, but that may be related to the mail services I'm using as well.

I've now set it to 'every minute'. It was set to 'automatically', whatever that means. I'll see if this fixes my issue.

Yes, mine is an Airport Extreme 2013 , with a Late 2013 rMBP

If I turn wifi off/on speed returns
the moment I click on airdrop the speed drops to 289mbps

I have also checked wifi stability using WiFi Explorer to see SSID's around me
I note the 2.4Ghz band of my Time Capsule disappears periodically as do other 2.4Ghz band SSIDs

The above is very reproducible
 
How to fix?

Doesn't fix the weird bug with numbers being appended to my computer's name: "MacBook Pro (11)" currently.

Same issue here. I've tried to manually rename under "Sharing" - it only worked for a while, then (x) appeared again.

Any fix? Downloading 10.10.1 as of right now.

Gee guys. We have 55Mb/s WiFi here and that's fast, for the UK.

Wow. I still get 8mb where I live in the UK, not even the ADSL standard of 17mb like in most areas around London. Also no fiber optic yet in my area although a box is close. mad:
 
Messages issue with 10.10.1

My messages is really acting weird. Sent a message. Got a reply on my phone that didn't show up in Messages on the Mac but Messages looked showed the activity symbol like someone was replying then it stopped. Replied to the message (using my phone). It shows up on the Mac. Then the original reply shows up on Message (Mac). So it's all out of sequence and obviously laggy.

Maybe try this: unplug wifi router. Rename the Mac under "Sharing" deleting the (x), go to "energy saver" turn off "wake for network access". Reboot Mac, plug router back in.

Seemed to work for my mother's iMac. (never happened on mine or my fathers iMac)

One thing I hate about Yosemite is that they removed Software update from the Menu bar.

Now, it always brings you right into (spammy) App store which I DON'T want! :mad:

I'm having some quirky Messages issues on all devices. Stuff sending really slow and not showing up even close to the same pace on 2014 15" rMBP and iPhone 6. Not sure what the Retina Mini is doing as it's still updating.
