Apple Seeds First OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite Beta to Developers [Updated]

[gsingham]

Can someone pls check if iBooks, preferences, "automatic dowloads" stays ticked (remains on) after a reboot or a log out?

It doesnt for 10.10 and 10.10.1

Many thanks

Has the issue been fixed on where if your running an external display off a Macbook, on start up the log in screen SHOULD appear on the external display and not on the Macbook?

I made my Cinema Display my primary display, and upon starting the computer every time, the log in screen still appears on my MacBook Pro!

Very annoying

When we boot from the external media on the image, we get the circle with the bar across. This only happens on brand new just released macs, not on older macs.

For example, we have a yosemite image that works on all our mavericks macs we bought prior to yosemite's release.

When you boot from that image on a brand new Yosemite (pre-installed) Macbook pro, you will get a circle with a bar across. This happens because Apple locks the images to not install on newer hardware until they usually release 10.10.2 or .3... This is how it happened with mavericks and you were trying to re-image mavericks on a new hardware.

Weird. I've had no issues with that on brand new Retinas, Airs or even Retina iMacs. Did you make your image on the latest hardware?

Chrome crashing for anyone else ?

Crashes right after opening!

Yeah latest 64-bit Chrome! You open it and it closes right away. 32-bit Chrome works fine. Looks like Apple did it as a joke, they want to force you to use Safari lol! Firefox seems to work fine as well.

Animations

Animations are much smoother system-wide (especially in About This Mac!). Yay. This feels like Apple-quality animations again.

Nope. Typing this with a 64-bit version... https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20388927#post20388927

I think the Finder icon is different. It seems less embossed than before.

Chrome 64 bit version 39 on the stable channel crashes. Good to hear that the canary channel has a working version.

Restored now. I've never been so glad about Time Machine

Wish I still had ML. Apple spends a quarter of a year B.S.ing about how their great, coming-soon new Mac OS will be the best, most amazing OS ever. Then they spend an hour releasing it only to spend the next three-quarters of a year trying to fix it as much as possible before Tim & Jony's next OS Fashion Show release.

You should consider Windows in the future if you feel that strongly. This is the way OS X is going to be for a good while.

No.... just roll back to maverick

My bluetooth mouse (logitech) is totally funked up on my Mac Pro. It'll lose its 'click' - meaning when you hold down to drag it'll sometimes let go even though you didn't lift up the button.

Totally annoying.

Happens on two different Macs I have.

Jeez - fix it already!

There will always be someone complaining about WiFi issues after each update. Just relax and enjoy it when you happen to see one of them.

Still having wifi problems and this icon is bugged:

This bug actually pisses me off. I've got transparency disabled and and every time I have to adjust the volume I'm like....oh boy

Seriously. Don't install this on a Retina iMac. Display resolution is off, and upon reboot it booted to a black screen.

Restoring from backup now.

Same here, 5K iMac, lost retina, black screen on reboot

Restored from Time Machine, which was current.

 

[sfb]

Anyone else with issues on the 5K iMac?

When I upgraded to 10.10.2 today, my 5K iMac appeared OK except the spinning wrench was seen at the end of the cursor. I then rebooted and was unable to load the program. After numerous attempts, I finally reverted to a Re-Install back to 10.10.1.

I wonder if it fixes annotated PDFs.

Hmm this Chrome Canary build doesn't crash here.

I don't have any issues with stable Chrome

UPDATE: Seems like Chrome crashes on my 2012 rMBP when I am not connected to an external monitor. When I have my external monitor connected and in clamshell mode, Chrome works just fine.

With Chrome, it might be a plugin/extension issue..

I also noticed that the main Transmission window no longer updates..
VLC no longer plays videos.


What is going on?!

Seriously.. Apple has gone downhill since Jobs left.

You're using beta software and are complaining about 3rd party apps not working?

I just don't think that a minor(ish?) update should break so many things. I've never seen anything like this from Apple before.

I've seen it all the time in minor and major updates. It happens when there are API updates that have unintentional side effects. A simple API code change can break many apps at the same time.

We're seeing the first beta, I'm sure Apple will have it fixed in a few betas.

Don't use betas if you don't like having broken apps.

That's because it isn't Apple.

Things have become much more complex, and with so many different types of environments nowadays (from more-than-decade-old ARM7's to the unbelievably clever i7 series multiplied by an intimidating number of toolchain configurations), changing anything in the toolchain makes a particular build for one application worthless.

It is a problem today —*and it's a problem for everyone. Whether you write JavaScript in node.js or C for a Debian package, it's a tricky game to get compatibility right.

Apple didn't screw up anything out of the ordinary. They're not "degrading". The reason there are so many more betas is the fact that the landscape has become a lot more fragmented.

I'm sure either Apple or Google will push an update to make things "alright" again. Meanwhile, please realize that this is the point of having a beta.

Betas are worthless if one is to assume nothing is going to be broken.

Did anybody notice the font looks different in Safari? It looks bolder than usual.

I did notice the first boot had retina iMac booted into a lower scaled resolution but I was able to select the _Best for Retina_ resolution without a problem.
