Apple Releases Second OS X Yosemite Public Beta, iTunes 12 Update

[jbachandouris]

Still won't download. I went to the Apple Beta page and it only seems to want to allow be PB1. It offered me a new redemption code, so I wasn't sure if that would download PB2. Any ideas?

Boot sound is gone after PB2. Could be a bug on my end, can anyone confirm? Would be pretty sad if it's the real deal. :|

Was using Yosemite on my Mac Mini, but went back since I didn't have access to iCloud and iPhoto. Even on an old IDE external drive, it works well. Can't wait to get the final release on my Fusion drive.

App store not working for you?

Stupid question, but are you sure your sound wasn't muted before the restart?

I had all the Developer Previews, just wanted to check out Beta 1.

I am aware what DP is.

Then what was so odd? You must be confused.

If you're referring to how iTunes 11 changed search from narrowing down your list (the old search) to offering a popup list of items (the new search), you can still revert back to the old search method.

Click the magnifying glass and then deselect "Search Entire Library". That causes it to revert back to the way search had been done for many years. At least it does for iTunes 11 on Windows.

I'm aware of that trick. And I use it. But I still say the change was not a good one and it shouldn't have been done

Would anyone say roughly whether or not this is any more or less stable than DP6?

It's probably almost identical, they were released just a couple days apart. If you already have DP6 installed I wouldn't bother trying to mess with the PB releases.

Update downloaded. However, it doesn't appear to be actually installing the update. My MacBook Pro rebooted and installed the update, but it still says there's an update available in the App Store indicating that the update wasn't actually installed. Possibly a bug?

EDIT: got it to install. Had to reboot several times, though.

So you're upgrading from OS 9?

What does your "About this mac" say?

No App Store is not working. As posted, it keeps erring out:

An error has occurred.
Didn't get a response from the Software Update server (swscan.apple.com).

The new get info window in iTunes maybe helpful for people that don't really use it but those that used it a lot, it has become unusable. So who will this actually benefit?!?

Has anyone installed with a 3rd Party SSD yet?

Yes, on my MBP with a Samsung SSD. No problems with it.

 

[Agent OrangeZ]

You need to be in Yosemite to download.

I am...

I decided not to dual boot with Mavericks. I am only running Yosemite.

Sorry, didn't see that

iBank still crashes

I was hoping that this would fix my iBank which crashes every time I try to add a transaction. But sadly no. I will let IGG know about it. This and MakeMKV are the only reason I reboot and use Mavericks.

Working great on my 2011 MBP with Samsung Evo 840.
Been using since the Public Beta was available, and its been pretty stable so far.

PB1, with an Intel SSD. No problems. Will do the PB2 update this evening.

No, it wasn't. It's definitely gone. At least for me. Did a clean install of PB2 though, not an update.

EDIT: Nevermind. It's back somehow.

The volume thing on the screen looks different now when you press the volume buttons on the keyboard. And it doesn't make noise when you press the button.

 

[HyperliteG4]

In the iTunes update, looks like there is a new row right above my albums view for "Recently Added" which shows the most recently added items to my library.

Is there a possibility to Download PB2 from a machine that is Running Mavericks? Right now i dont have Internet in the flat with my iMac. This imac is Running Yosemite PB1. Can I download a .dmg anywhere? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

My expectation for iTunes has gotten so low that I am happy that Apple is at least trying to make it better.

If I was Eddie Cue, I would probably rename iTunes to Music, and make it only about music (with perhaps Beats Music thrown in) just as iBooks is only about books. Similarly, I would rename QuickTime Player as Videos and make it all about movies and TV shows.

For syncing non cloud-based media contents to iOS devices, I would resurrect iSync.

That's actually a good logical idea. Too bad they don't follow logic.

Yes all fine here on my Kingston SSD but I did have to re-enable TRIM after the update.
