Apple Releases OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 With Photos for OS X App, Emoji Updates

I'm not sure if this is normal but 10.10.3 has been downloading now for 12 hours and it shows it still has 8 more hours to go. It's only 2 gig so I don't know what is happening. Another person I know is having the same issues. I have a 40MPS DSL and this is running as slow as dial-up. I don't see anyone else having this issue on the forum. Strange.
 
from the way iTunes and photo apps have developed since Steve's death, I can say for sure: Steve loved music and photos. On the other hand, you know...

i just started the download and it is chugging along pretty well for me so far. estimates 25 min to go with 150MB of 2.13GB downloaded.
 
Downloaded smoothly overnight on my late-2013 13" rMBP. My iPhoto Library was somehow automatically moved to Photos. Now to upload them to iCloud. Also letting that happen overnight.

I am going to miss the iPhoto app. Too bad my album names from iPhoto did not import into Photos. And the trying to push iCloud Drive is less than awesome.

Is there a way to push photos to Flickr or another cloud drive instead of iCloud?

No valid reason to stay on Mavericks. Yes, some people have had issues with Yosemite but they are in the absolute minority.

If you have seen the kind of rating that Yosemite has been getting on the App Store of many countries, you wouldn't be saying this. That fact many people don't have issues with it is because these same groups of people only use their computers for word processing and web browsing.
 
Not good so far

Temp bar goes to 69.7Mb, stops, after a few mins my iMac says it's about to automatically restart, App Store icon bounces, pop-up says View Changes, but no restart and nothing has changed. Has happened a few times. Perhaps those Apple servers are being hammered today.
 
Have to say the new Photos app is nightmare.

I have tens of thousands of photos in my library - that's what having kids does I guess! It took about half an hour to upgrade it, no worries.

Ever since it has been chewing between 200% - 300% CPU. My MacBook Pro is INSANELY HOT and it is refusing to charge the battery due to high power usage - it is running off power but not charging.

Now, I presume it is obviously re-indexing and re-analysing faces and so forth.

But, if Photos is capable of doing that surely it is capable of displaying some kind of indicator to say it is doing something in the background. Has been running for many hours now and it just sits there like a pig chewing up so much power I could cook an egg off this thing :(
 
Did the Places feature get killed? It wasn't something I used each day, but I found it neat. I see Faces still, but Places is nowhere to be found.

Also, if someone has an idea how to work between the Photo Stream 1,000 photos and my actual library size of 200GB using iCloud, that would be nifty. I've got another 6GB of space on iCloud. I love the concept of backing everything up to iCloud, but damn it's kind of expensive at that level.
 
To the people that complains about the pictures lost in iPhoto, I was getting a message telling me that they were moved to fotos library...so look at the left (in iPhoto) menu, there U got photos, click and iPhotos have all your pictures its window....ahhh that was hard iinnit?
 
I left my Mac Pro to update to 10.3.3, but when I opened Photos, sure enough - nothing there. I have my iPhoto library on a second drive, so presumably Photos is too dim to search for a separate hard drive. I've tried importing my existing iPhoto library, but nothing doing. Any idea how I can get my considerable iPhoto library into Photos? Or should I even bother?
 
Sorry but I'm still on Mavericks and don't use Photos but general consensus is that Photos still needs work and people are sticking with iPhoto saying it's still way better so, even though I understand that you'd like to try it, I'd stay on iPhoto.
 
Photos & iPhoto

I kept both iPhoto and Photo active and when cloning it with CC Cloner it copies the pictures library twice....didn't expect that. If I check the source hard drive there is not a doubling of the library size for the pictures folder reflected when I check with CMD+I or with Daisy disk.
 
I was running 10.10.3 PB1 (didn't update beyond that) and updated to 10.10.3 release earlier today. Not sure why but after taking about 5 minutes to download 90% it then took another 90 minutes to download the last 10%. Maybe the Apple servers were busy selling watches?

Anyway, for the first time ever the update stalled and after over 2 hours of being very patient I powered down and restarted. Everything came back OK and App Store listed update as complete, although since had to reboot after Finder beach balled.

Anyway, version is showing 14D131 which I think it correct.

Was brave and updated the ATV too, which went without any hitches and still works nicely with plexconnect (although I'd checked a few forums first to verify with braver soles than I)

What wireless router are you using ? I found that upgrading my router to a newer one fixed my issue. For some folks switching channels also helped their issue as 2.4 GHz is usually very congested.

Have you posted on the Apple Forums ? I posted there and someone from Apple got in touch with me, just in case thats helpful.

There is nothing wrong with the router, it is most definitely a software issue as previous version of Mac OS X work without issue. But for the record I have a BT HomeHub 3 router in conjunction with a fiber connection
