Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

[xero9]

Over the Air.

I don't think he was disputing what OTA stood for.

I believe he was saying that seeing an update in the Mac App Store isn't really an OTA. It's probably more like a delta update.

Safari seems to eat ram like nobodies business. I can't tell if the OS itself is also eating ram, it's pretty intense.

Definitely Safari.

Not sure if this is just a bug, but the memory pressure graph is full, but it's all green.

Auto-install OSX updates option.

Memory pressure graph is bugged.

Changes to iCloud preference panel.

Battery icon in menu bar seems to be fixed.
Bartender is now properly hiding all menubar apps.

Thank you mate. Appreciated.

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

I have the 15" Retina late 2013 DP2 on separate partition... works great, fast, smooth.

the iMessage notification text reply field is rectangular now. It was circular in DP1. The dots on the dock seem slightly larger than DP1? Dashboard has a checkered background, but I don't remember if it was the same on DP1

Definitely Safari.

Oh man, you're telling me.

Is mission control animation smoother than in DP1 for you? I got back to Mavericks yesterday, so can't check myself-_-

 

[ZacNicholson]

is this new?

 

[3282868]

Noticed a few small things (some may have been present since DP1 and I only noticed now)

- "iCloud" pane in "System Preferences" is slightly different; moving cursor over image brings up "Edit"

- "Look Me Up By Email" option (has been in iOS 8 beta 1, didn't notice it in OS X)

- "Notifications" app's I've uninstalled and searched for in system folders to delete remnants still show as notification app options

- The Dock seems to have a different icon/symbol when a stack is open

 

[dejo]

is this new?

Nope. Even Mavericks has that.

 

[milo]

I think this is new.

Auto-install OSX updates option.

It's not in Mavericks.

Safari and Handoff are significantly better in this build. Much more usable.

Finder tabs slide again too.

Nice hunting I was just about to past those

New Screen Sharing icon

Haven't seen this mentioned yet

Well, as much as I might not like it, if I still have this 2010 iMac, I'll install Yosemite when it's released.

I hope Apple fixes:

the bug hiding the /Users folder

the bug which does not allow me to use Terminal (to fix things like the hidden Users folder and the trash that won't empty - it's that boot.efi file - none of the usual trash empty commands work and no access to terminal)

better use of memory compression to possibly thwart beach balls

and make the User's library visible again.

Mavericks has been an utter cluster for my Mac. I've never had this many problems with an OS in my nearly 20 years of owning Apple machines. I did clean installs too which folks here kindly helped me with. But I hope to heck Yosemite makes up for all headaches etc.

And if I have new machine by then, I hope it'll be the smooth sailing I'm used to.

- Apple logo now on menu bar now grey

- System font bolder

- Widgets are gone

 

[MaxwellEdison]

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

Use two Flexible Spaces.

 

[Bigpearl]

Verify Disk permissions now works

Screenshots please!

Don't know if it was mentioned before or if it was in DP1, I never saw it. But now quick reply is an option in iMessage just like iOS.

It's smooth, but it seemed smooth before...

 

[iMcLovin]

the settings icon is very nicely crafted. I like the metallic colors a lot, while it still doesn´t feel skeumorphism like. the time machine UI should change even more though, the bottom border with the perspective glassy arrows doesnt fit at all anymore.
Btw, when will apple update the top bar of their webpage to fit all of this, should be a fairly simple thing to do imo.

the bug hiding the /Users folder

There was a bug in iTunes 11.2.1 that caused this in Mavericks, since fixed by iTunes 11.2.2. There's no other widespread bug on this.

the bug which does not allow me to use Terminal (to fix things like the hidden Users folder and the trash that won't empty - it's that boot.efi file - none of the usual trash empty commands work and no access to terminal)

You had something wrong with your installation of the OS. Again, not a "bug" per se.

 

[brunozs]

Does anybody know how to disable the icon chat on the menu bar? Maybe with a command line on Terminal?

It showed up there by itself and the option is gone from the Messages app preferences

Wait, how come you have different icons in the first screenshot? Photos, contacts, reminders, notes are all different on mine.
