Apple Releases OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 3

[Serban]

So any changes ?

 

[Cougarcat]

Dark Mode is in beta 3. Looks awful if you have any non-Apple icons in your menu bar.

Yes, they will have to be updated. Screens?

 

[amarkon]

Wait. What do you mean with »switched back«? 10.10 is still beta and not for productive use. So complaining here about bugs is out of place.

For most people (or for me at least) we don't have the money for separate work/personal/dev machines, so the betas get installed on the only device I have. I'm not saying people have a right to complain about bugs because it is a beta, but the argument that it shouldn't be installed on personal machines isn't always valid.

VERY slow download. I've got a 60MB connection and its saying 3 hours for 1.12 GB. Can everyone else just wait till I've finished?

It took me 4 minutes.

We're on the net so... You're not serious... Are you?

He's talking about this:

I, too, am curious about how it's going to work. Since I doubt you have an answer to the question either I don't understand where your attitude is coming from.

Lync

Can anyone confirm that MS Lync is fixed in DP3?

This! Oh God, so much of this!
Despite the bugs (troubles connecting to Wi-fi networks and incompatibility with some apps) I'm loving Yosemite.

Thank god there are other people, I can connect to my 2G band for a little but not the 5G band.

Although, I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to download this update, ****

Could you link a print screen please? It's on download for me but I think it will benefit other people who don't have access to it.

Making another partition for installing Yosemite costs nothing

Sorry. But an external hdd costs about 50 bucks. So your argument is invalid.

Who said servers were hammered?

I guess I got lucky mine downloaded in less than 2 minutes and I only have medium speed FiOS.

I'm so looking forward to this OS. I like the interface redesign. It looks better than iOS 7; the "flatter" look works on a big screen, and lots of design tweaks bring a continuity that I hope we'll see in iOS 8. The new Spotlight looks phenomenal. And Continuity could be a game-changer.

I'll know for sure in a few months.

Attached, doesn't look too good.

There is no 10.9.5?

1) There will be

and

2) Whether there is or not is wholly unrelated to any 10.10 releases.

I didn't know if he was being sarcastic or not.

Yes, of course, I forgot all about that.

Now I understand!

I like all the design changes except for:

-The stoplight buttons, they're kind of ugly IMO.
-The new finder icon is...strange to me....
-I still like the 3D dock but 2D doesn't bother me.

For a first pass it looks pretty good to me. What's the problem?

I'm probably being dumb here but what's the issue?

Oh give us BP1 already!!

I was hoping that it also darkened window chrome, not just menu bar and dock, but it's still a nice addition.

After Effects works again !
