Apple Releases Sixth OS X Yosemite Public Beta

At least we can still "downgrade" OS X to a version we like, unlike iOS hardware.
I work on my MacBook 8+ hours per day, still installed the 1st Yosemite Public Beta the day it came out. No major problems.
No it isn't. As a graphics designer there are very subtle and drastic differences between os x tiger and OS X Yosemite
Apple and modernity
For the appearance of Yosemite, Apple uses words such as 'new' but I sense that the word 'modern' is avoided.

What would he consider modern? Every other operating system still looks basically the same.
say all you want about yosemite's modernity or lackthereof, but i for one will maybe - possibly - stop confusing with Mail with Preview once this 'terrible icky awesome amazing Ive's has lost his touch' update is installed. i think this might be the one guys!

what..? and try it out first??

Used it for 20 mins and decided to uninstall. All hail Windows 7. Was that bad. At least it was through my Developer Account so I didn't spend anything on it, well, directly.
I think that people in America feel like they just need something to complain about. It's like they have placed themselves as the expert, even though they won't openly say they think they could do better. They might not even think they can do a better job, but they still complain. It's getting old, and fast.
Right **** thats a work of art. Any body who denies how masterfully Yosemite has been put together is putting to shame their own profession; we all should strive to be able to build and UPDATE to an operating system this visually stunning; being that this is all jumping off good ol' Cheetah 10.0---which happened to be released in 2000----which also happened to be the last time a public beta was put forth by apple and it only costed $29.95 (oh
) coincidence that we receive a public beta for Yosemite which has reached 10.10 finally---dare I say i smell 11.0 in their 5 year plan?
Regardless of your opinion, I still prefer yosemite aesthetics wise.
Actually, I prefer the new UI of iOS and Mac OS.

a) thanks, i actually wondered where i'd seen apple do the transparency thing before. WELL before vista, which seems to be a popular comparison these days. not that that "[x] did it first!" stuff really concerns me, but it's a kick seeing the clear connection in visual language to yosemite. i've used apple forever, but was never one to update very often back then. must have missed Cheetah entirely(!)
b) how did you get '5 years' out of all of that?
Why are people getting so heated about this? I hate the new finder icon, but I'm not going to go all caps rage in the forums over it.
"soft launch"? I don't even know what that is, unless you mean your sandwich has too much mayo?
Not sure why that is happening, or what you want to achieve, but, you can make a USB recovery drive for 10.7, just need an 8GB USB stick. You should be able to download 10.7 from App store Purchases tab, to start.
I've run every version of Mac OS X 10.6-10.10b on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13, 10.7 was possibly the worst one, why do you still have that on there? You can update for free to Mavericks 10.9 or (soon) Yosemite (you don't have to put 10.8 on to get 10.9). Mavericks 10.9 was the first one that was almost as fast as 10.6.8 Snow Leopard...and Yosemite might be an improvement, even for these machines.
yes, I prefer to go right to updates and not have to wait for "featured apps" to load up. I think they did this because they think most people will use automatic updates, but, I've always preferred to do this manually.
That opaque volume square is really obnoxious (both iOS & OS X), and not just for games...I understand that it follows the rest of the design, but, we NEED to be able to see through it. They should at least move it to the bottom, make it a much smaller bar or something, it is just IN THE WAY.
I thought it was just me, because of the fact my second display is mini display port to HDMI, so, essentially an HDTV, even though it is actually a monitor (viewsonic), but, this is something I keep hoping they will fix. With Mavericks, it would remember which monitor specific apps/windows were open on...Yosemite forgets. I should give them feedback on this.
I hope so, so far it seems ok, we'll see how it goes.
Sometimes running disk utility>repair disk permissions helps...momentarily. I've had problems with mail since sometime in Mavericks. Wish I could dump gmail, might solve this.Are any of you guys having a memory leak in Mail? I've reported the issue for the last 3 betas and I'm still having the issue. Basically after ~30 minutes, my mail ram usage skyrockets to 64GB and freezes my system. I've searched online to no avail, reset PRAM and re-setup my mail accounts. The only thing that works is force quite and restart my system. Rinse and repeat.
And the iCloud outages were just the end of the world for you?
No system works 100% of the time, ever have a hard drive crash on you?
...you need to get over yourself and shut up already!
You are flat out wrong. First off I've Installed Yosemite multiple times, both totally clean and as a Mavericks upgrade, so that's irrelevant to the issue.
The Displays preference panel settings simply will not fix to the correct boot display. Unplugging a display is not a desirable option. This problem does not exist in any version of Mavericks nor any other version of OS X that I have. One of the betas temporarily fixed it and now it's back, so I know I can't be the only person with this problem. Just because you don't have multiple displays doesn't make your opinion better than mine. It just makes you far less capable. If Apple is going to release Macs with the capability to run 1-6 displays, the Displays system pref MUST work properly to boot to the correct screen.
As for the iPhone/Bluetooth IOS 8 issue I mentioned, well that's already been all over the place with the release of IOS 8. I simply added another problem related to it that is still not fixed and that is that plugging in an iPhone with IOS 8 installed can brick your bluetooth on your Mac under Yosemite. It's not totally fixed even with the IOS 8 updates so far and this is not a problem in Mavericks.
Since I've been testing Yosemite since Beta 1, I think I know what I'm talking about. Just because you have limited "needs" or expectations doesn't make you right and me wrong. It just means you know less.
Thank You! I knew I wasn't the only one using HDMI to HDTV or mini-display port and the boot display not being the preferred boot display in Yosemite. Please report it. I have multiple times and it's not just my problem alone.
I realize Apple ignores its "pro market" these days far more than years back, but if you're going to pay nearly $5000 for a Mac Pro, you do expect it to know which display to boot to, wouldn't you think? Pro users have all kinds of displays. I shouldn't be forced into booting to one display just because it's mini-display port or HDMI over DVI. It should boot to what I set it to. Period. Mavericks and every other OS X version did. Why not Yosemite?
Flat design = flat design as far as appearances go.
Major difference is higher quality flat icons and greater display resolutions.
Turn off translucency and it's like rewatching Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future.

I don't necessarily consider this a Yosemite bug per se, but boot times on a Mac Pro at 3Ghz & 12Gb RAM are excruciatingly slow, slower than Tiger, the Leopards, the Lions, & Mavericks, maybe twice as slow.
I simply assumed that was part of the Beta testing process, but the boot times have not gotten any faster from Beta 1 to 6 in any way. If that's not fixed, I'd probably stick with Mavericks.
