My PB3 also disappeared halfway through

I checked the Purchases tab, it doesn't show up there either, Strange, may be they pulled it?

It stopped in mid-download. Seems to have been pulled.

I'm wondering that as well. I was halfway done with the download and it vanished. Not in the purchased list either and when checking for unfinished downloads it doesn't show up there either.

Check...

5 minutes remaining... Hopefully SMS texting works.

Check your settings on the phone, make sure bluetooth is on and wifi as well. sms has worked since first beta for me. Keep in mind SMS messaging is actually a bluetooth link to your phone and its sharing the text info to iMessage on the computer and your iPad

They've finally fixed the look of the Help menu bar item in Dark mode

Doesn't show up for me either... does the PB2 installer needs to be in the applications folder or will it download as a software update (like 10.9.3 for example)?

Well mine slowed down about ¾ of the way, but it finished downloading just now and is installing... so maybe they're just having some server problems.

Can't see why they'd pull it, it seems on schedule based on the previous betas.

The new build number is: 14A361c

Also the About my Mac section now says, "OS X Yosemite Beta".
I'm assuming they merged the public beta and developer preview into one final build. This looks like it's going to be the last release we're gonna get till GM.

Just booted off my external drive, update doesn't show for me either.

Does this enable handoff on mid-2011 MBA finally?

Please please please let this be the case.

I'll likely be disappointed tonight when I update though.

 

[Erastopic]

Surprised to see so little new changes.

All I have currently found was System Preferences "Show All" has been changed with the back and forward button as well as "Top Sites" button from Safari.

As well as new low battery indicator.

It should be as a software update.

Update is not showing up for me on PB2.

Weather widget asks for your permission to use your location now.

The new interface actually is a huge relief to me

Good thing to see that the new dock and icons actually look a lot better even on non-retina devices (like my 13" MBA). It's a breath of fresh air, very pleasing to look at, whereas I've been looking at the old dock and icons like "meh" in the past few years. And with the dark theme, it's even sexier. Actually, the old, now-boring wallpapers strike me as new and interesting under Yosemite, because they really behave differently.

The UI for the notification is new for OSX isn't it?

i was downloading pb3, reached 1.3gb out of 1.6gb and now the update has disappeared ...

lol :d

 

[Goldfinger]

I think they pulled it. Update to DP7 isn't showing anymore for me.

 

[Icaras]

Yep same here.

I guess that means I'm either lucky that I got it before they pulled it... OR I should be scared for my life.

For the permission alert window, yeah.

Another 13" MBA user here, and I have to agree... everything is so crisp and defined.

Running PB2 and PB3 is still downloading, I'm about 50% through it.
