Ive installed every public beta since release on my MacBook Air 2011 / 13" / 4GB RAM / i7 / 256GB HDD and all was fine up till Beta 3 but ever beta since then is laggy even with basic functions like About My Mac / System prefences - you see the box rolling down in a jaggy manner. I don't know what they changed but its no impressive. Every public beta since Beta 3 has this issue. I have also submitted feedback.
Got a tip for us?

That's because there is nothing to crash, LOL. Don't get me wrong, Tiger was my first system and i loved it, but it's SO obsolete now that i can't even begin to .........
I'm not sure what you mean. I've been using the public beta since it was released, and it runs smooth as butter on my Mac Pro. I've only logged eight bug reports so far, which for a beta OS is pretty good.
I really like the new interface. It's much cleaner and clearer. I like it a lot more than Mavericks.
I actually like it that way. I can hear the sound ramp up and I don't need the "popping" sound in addition to whatever I'm listening to.
Have you tried clean install? Just for the sake of science. I'm still undecided about my mba 2012. I installed yosemite on my 2007 imac and it is laggy (animations, the system itself is fast) so i kinda don't know what to do. Clean install would be like 2-3 hours for me so not a biggy but still
I believe I shouldn't have to do a clean install and have never had since day one. Also this only started to occur after beta 3, so whats changed?
Balls.
Part of getting a project right is having achievable targets.
12 months for a major OS release is not an achievable target, either on the mobile or desktop platform.
I like Federeghi. I think he's a good man, I just think that Apple's 12 month cycle is unrealistic.
iOS 8 and Yosemite show a lot of potential. However they both have rough edges. Not all of them will be smoothed out by the time that both iOS 9 and 10.11 come out. That's the problem.
Except I can't because it logs in using our active directory credentials. It worked fine in Mavericks and every single competing browser in Yosemite works fine.
Can we agree that an operating system is bound to behave differently depending on the hardware it’s running on and other differences on the software side of things?
Clean installs are sometimes beneficial when running beta code, or migrating from beta to release code.
Great, now I'll be able to "upgrade" to the new version which breaks even more stuff from Mavericks so I can regain access to my iCloud documents that I lost when I apparently said "yes" to a cryptic question during the ios upgrade to my ipad. Neat.
Looks like the performance is a bit better on the dual-core side (top score) -
Also - where are the bluetooth and volume icons? I'm so confused.
However, there is likely a margin of error so take this with a grain of salt.
Just thought it was worth posting!

If it still does what is needed for that person, it is not obsolete.
You can still get modern browsers compiled for it, iWork '09 will work on it. Older versions of PS will run happily on it. OK it's not up to date, but in some ways that's better for some. They get stability.
Look at the numbers still using Windows XP. Most of that user base are businesses. Why? It's a known thing for them. To use an Apple phrase... "It just works"
Hide things behind big iron firewall systems, and they're safe enough..
I refuse to run a clean install as I dont like and dont use time machine / time capsule as I prefer to back things up manually without the one button does all routine which frequently fails. As mentioned this only started after Beta 3. I don't trust Apple with their backup software. Simplicity adds more complexity in the background when things go wrong.
Additionally, this is not the release version so its a waiting game.
To me, it feels a little faster than Mavericks on my 2007 MBP, even when TimeMachine is backing up in the background.
Is yours a clean installation or upgrade on top of Mavericks?
In my case it was an upgrade on top, and my main and only issue had to do with TimeMachine, which I was able to fix, then PB2 cae along and it seemed to have fixed it.
If it's when you first turn on that partition / OS, it's due to switching. Otherwise idk what to tell ya.
I haven't had as many issues as some people. Right now the weirdest is periodic lag, which is ironic considering the system feels much more responsive and web pages seem to load much faster.
I wouldn't be surprised, given experience, that some of the problems people are encountering are due to any of issues with old settings (the result of years of updates) or corrupted caches (I recommend nuking user and system caches once in a while or when problems occur).
My weird bug is: My keyboard input preferences keep resetting to "US English" every other restart.

Then use something like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
I don't like Time Machine either and find this a far better (and quicker) solution. It also allows you to boot your backup drive if all else fails! (I can tell you how useful that has been with my rMBP in for repairs at the Apple Store. I just plug the portable HD into an old Whitebook I have and I'm working with my settings and software!)
1) It's supposed to.
2) Not sure on this one.
3a) This has happened to me for years.
3b) This is the expected behavior, you can enable this in the Sound settings from System Preferences, the sound toggle is disabled by default in Yosemite.
4) Same problem here.
5) Haven't had this problem.
6) This is indeed annoying.
7) Haven't had this problem.
I'm not sure what machine you're running on but Yosemite has been rocked solid since the last couple of betas.
Please could you quickly elobirate what bug with keychain you guys are talking about. Is that bug in Mavericks as well or only Yosemite. Thanks

Charging again for an OS,oh no you didn't....
The sleep button on my early-2012 27" iMac now functions correctly, meaning I can put the machine to sleep with a gentle push of the button. This had stop working a couple of Mavericks updates ago. I'd have to mash the button several times to get the computer to sleep.
