Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

[Andy-V]

What's changed about the settings icon? It looks exactly like it did in preview 1 to me.

 

[matthewadams]

This is OS X. Are you talking about iOS?

----------



Hope that's a bug - it looks terrible.

I suppose it is. It's centered here ..

I'm not too sure, I can't remember exactly what I did, but it now I have an new icon on my status bar, although none of the options work. Seems to have something to do with iMessage.

i had that in beta 1. i never figured out how to get rid of it

Can anyone confirm it is more responsive and faster on rMBP 15" late 2012/early 2013?

Thanks

Testing on a 2008 Macbook and it's much more responsive than the first.

address bar in safari is shifted to the left now

It can be dragged and repositioned like the icons.

System Preferences

Macrumors is saying the settings icon changed. That was in DP1 was it not?

Yes, that's the Messages menu. It has features carried over from the former iChat application, such as displaying the current iTunes song.

I would assume he/she is talking about OS X since thats the topic of the thread.

 

[Diwad]

This is what I'm seeing.

I had same issue on DP1. Couldn't bring them back.

- Time Machine: Time Machine has a redesigned interface that removes the stars.

My God, its (not) full of stars!

hold CMD and drag it off of the menu bar

address bar in safari is shifted to the left now

scrolling between pages on launchpad seems smoother now.

Scrolling is like butter now... but my address bar is in the same position, i.e., right in the center...

I have noticed some tangible improvements to system responsiveness and speed with this build.

Can someone see if QuickBooks opens? Don't want to go through installation unless it works.

 

[ZacNicholson]

It can be dragged and repositioned like the icons.

i can't seem to center it like in DP 1. its either on the left or the right.

I have a Late 2013 Retina 15inch. I will let you know how it is, I am downloading the beta 2 update as we speak.

[lewismayell]

Thank you mate. Appreciated.

Also if someone found the solution for right click Dropbox menu I would be really greatufull if he shares it

You need to drag another "flexible space" to the other side of the address bar.

 

[kemo]

Any1 using Wacom Intuos 5 or similar here? Any sort of problems in DP2? It worked fine in DP1 for me

- Settings: There's a new Settings icon.

Unless there is some really minor change that I can't see, that Settings icon was introduced in the first beta.

Seconded! I want to upgrade, but can't have it break Final Cut Pro

Good news, FCPX 10.1.1 works without needing to launch the executable, nothing broken aside from Motion 5.1 not launching at all.

Also noticed Safari and iTunes aren't forgetting my login's; no longer have to constantly enter my information. Alas, no dark theme.

Has anyone been able to install Yosemite in a clean install? I installed over Mavericks and would prefer a clean one.

However, everytime I CMD+R start up, and then go to the install screen, I get a "authorizing this installation with apple" and then get told it failed and to contact Applecare.

I'm a developer and redeemed with a code from the app store.

 

[IsiahMS]

Was the option to turn transparency off on the status bar always there?
