Did they pull the update because neither of my Mac which are enrolled in appleSeed are seeing the update. It showed up last night but I didn't install, was going to this morning but the update is gone and isn't appearing again.

It's appearing here as 14C68k (so pre-PPC build then Apple? ;) )

Anyway, going to skip this one for my retina iMac.

I would like to see a GPU fix finally. The games like Diablo III, World of Warcraft etc. still have huge FPS drops. Never happened on Mavericks.


P.S. iMac 27'', late 2012, Intel Core i5, 2.9 GHz, 24 Gb RAM

WOW's fps drop is due to the expansion patch, Blizzard is trying to fix it since 2 weeks. It's happening in all OS X releases WOW supports. Not a Yosemite issue.
 
I have a bug where the MacBook Pro is docked in clamshell mode. Every so often it will totally shut off. When it restarts it says sleep/wake failure. Ive had this since the betas and submitted multiple bug reports. Apple fix this one! Take some time with 10.10.2 and make it solid please.

It seems your MBP is overheating and forcefully shutting down.
It could be due to a process burning CPU, and the MBP fans not being able to keep it cool enough when closed.

I would suggest a clean install. If it still fails, then try using your MBP with the display opened.

Look for an app that logs the temperature of your Mac. It may help troubleshoot the issue.
 
I'll stick with 10.10, these new OS updates seem to just be causing more problems than they are fixing

Yes more core rot at the big Apple. This thing with the retina imacs is really something else.
 
I'm just waiting for them to unlock the builds so I can re-image new hardware we receive with our yosemite corporate image... I find it ridiculous Apple locks out the OS from being applied to newer hardware... Because every new Yosemite Mac we get, we have to manually configure it...

it sucks... :(

That shouldn't be necessary unless you are using a very odd imaging workflow. How are you creating images and restoring images to computers?
 
Yosemite....Is it really ready for use? Worth the trip?

So I have a practice of always waiting for the .1 revision...but now it seems that even this revision is not robust. Now are discussing the .2 revision and weather it is ready. I am still using Mavericks, it is stable, it works...I'm a bit leery of installing right now. However, my main desktop machine is hardwired ethernet and wifi issues are not relevant.

So if you are using Yosemite, is it worth the trip? Are there things that you feel that you absolutely love that you would not go back to Mavericks?

Thanks for any input.

hmmmm . . .
 
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.

If you are needing a machine-specific build of OS X, there are ways to get it. And if you are using a modular approach to creating your image, you should be able to simply swap in the particular build of OS X you are needing to use. I use Apple's System Image Utility to build my images. What are you using to create your images?
 
Has anyone with a retina imac successfully installed this .2 beta without crapping things up?

Yosemite's biggest useful feature in my workflow is the improved Spotlight search with unit conversion and Wikipedia search. However, there are still significant bugs. The Chrome crashing bug is a nuisance that I'm sure will soon get fixed. More worrisome are the Retina iMac bricking issues and other graphics glitches.

No current machines require a machine-specific build of 10.10. That's what's confusing about what Kildjean wrote.

That's what I thought, too, but something is not working. It sounds to me that the problem is more of a netboot (or some other boot) issue rather than an image restoration issue. I guess we won't know unless all the details are provided to us.
 
Wondering if anyone is aware of 4K monitor fixes in 10.10.2? There's a nice (and reasonably priced) 17:9 aspect 4K monitor from LG (the 31MU97). However, the wider aspect of this monitor (4096 x 2160 as opposed to UHD 3840 x 2160) doesn't want to work properly on OS X (it works on Windoze though).

According to LG it's going to be fixed in "a future OS X update" but no indication of which update that'll be.

Quite a few people itching to buy this monitor but holding off to see when Apple are going to improve support for 4K (me included).
 
Of course issues with 3rd party apps can occur if APIs change, however there should not be any breaking API changes in minor releases.

What really bugs me is that they did not even bother testing this update on a Retina iMac, before releasing it..

By the way, was the kernel updated from xnu-2782.1.97~2 ?
(Enter uname -a in Terminal.app)

Personally, beta or not, I find that disgraceful and disrespectful of their customers. S happens, but S is happening far too often up there at our expense. I'm not going to try to load this beta. If they are going to continue to put out these alpha betas, they should pull the current seed program and go back to closed seeds. They clearly aren't listening to the wider spread beta testers.

Bugs me as well. I wasted 45 min at the end of the day yesterday restoring from Time Machine backup. NOT what I expect from Apple historically, but what I am regrettably starting to expect.
 
Before you go and install this, take note of this point in the release notes: ...
In other words, if you use iCloud Drive, maybe think twice before installing.
My problem is it doesn't work at all for me. In iCloud.com, trying pages, keynote, numbers, or the drive gives the "Uh oh" message saying they couldn't update me to iCloud "for some reason". There is a "Try Again" button that tries and fails. I have copies of what was there. I wish there was a way to reset or clear the drive but there doesn't seem there is.
 
I thought I'd just have a quick troll with

"Apple - it just works!"

Seriously I love my iMac and pretty much despise Windows these days in the rare occassions I am forced to use it for something.

But when the various Apple fanboys I meet from time to time (my Sister is the worst) are bleating about how MARVELLOUS Apple is at X and how WONDERFUL at Y, I should just point them at this thread!
 
Anyone seeing issues with Safari locking up / not responding or having big black rectangles left on the page that won't go away when going from one tab to another? Safari seems to be the only thing really giving me issues. Running the latest beta.
 
"Apple - it just works!"
Well, that was Steve's version. Now it's the time of new Tim's version:
"Apple - it just breaks!"

Alright, seriously, I was going to test this build but after seeing so many issues reported here it's really better to wait at least a week for another one. And of course hope it will be a better one.
