Apple Seeds First OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite Beta to Developers With Mac Photos App

Shouldn't this also be released as a BETA for Mavericks since Mavericks is solid and Yosemite is still unusable for some people?
Apple still hasn't fixed the 2 main bugs in Yosemite that I've reported over and over...
Random total Bluetooth failure when connecting an iPhone
Starting up to the wrong screen, even one not plugged in!
How can they work on new programs and features when these things aren't fixed?
Also some people are still having unresolved WIFI issues, although I'm not.
None of these problems are in Mavericks since I still keep my copy and have checked.

As you acknowledge, many different bugs affect many different people, but few major bugs affect everyone. If Apple were to stop all development of every piece of software until every single bug in every single product were fixed, we would never get any new software. Ever.
As it stands, if you want the latest software, you need to be on the latest OS. Sorry.
If I plug in my iPhone after taking photos with an iPhone 5s, my Mac Pro is BRICKED! What part are you missing? How can I test this new software if Yosemite bricks the Mac?
There are 2 points here for me, prefacing that Mavericks does not HAVE these problems...
If you have a Mac Pro or do Pro work with multiple displays, YOSEMITE is UNUSABLE out of the box, can't figure out what display you're using or which to boot to.
If you don't have Apple's preferred Bluetooth 4.0 that will handle the latest new features of Yosemite, half the time you plug in an iPhone, your Mac BLUETOOTH will be BRICKED forcing a reboot.
CORRECTING BRICKED IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN NEW SOFTWARE FEATURES!
These problems have to fixable since they are fixed in Mavericks right?
Am I crazy or what? I'm on a late model Mac Pro.
HOW CAN IT NOT WORK WITH YOSEMITE???
Reminder since I don't want to sound like a troll. I reported this since the first public beta of 10.10! Yet neither of these things are a problem in Mavericks. Like WIFI, how can they NOT fix this??? I'm baffled. Steve Jobs would be firing people right now!
Btw, I've filed now dozens of different bug reports.
Most have been fixed to Apple's credit. I even had personal contact with the software team about the Preview crash problem I was having and they fixed that. They have actually fixed a LOT of things, but these 2 make Yosemite virtually unusable for any Mac Pro user with any multiple displays or without the preferred Apple Bluetooth 4.0 for the new features. It's just that simple.
Is Apple abandoning the Pro community?
Should I buy a new $5000 machine instead from someone else over problems that they should be able to fix?
THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN MAVERICKS! So it's not a machine problem unless Apple is admitting that it's not going to support the machines that Yosemite is qualified for. I hate to say it, but if they don't fix these 2 problems, there will inevitably be another dreaded CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
If you own an iMac, I'm boring you. If you work for a Hollywood studio,
YOU ARE PISSED RIGHT NOW!

If you're still a public beta tester, please be reminded that the software may contain errors or inaccuracies and may not function as well as commercially-released software.
Also please note that 10.10.3 is not public beta.
+1
It sometimes feels that way.
You don't seem to know the meaning of the word Bricked, your MacPro is not bricked, it crashed, that's a completely different story, a restart will cure it, if you device is bricked you can't do anything with it and only a firmware/OS install by the Service provider will un-brick the device.
If you use IPL you can turn on the "keep full resolution images" option on your Mac which will than download any IPL picture to the photos library folder on your Mac in full resolution. This folder can be backuped with time machine or you can simply copy it on a external HD. If someone would steal your phone and delete all your IPL pictures, which in turn would delete all your local Mac copies, you still have the backup on the external disk.
No worries just enjoy the benefit of total sync with permanent storage and full resolution support, even for videos. Photo stream was a half assed attempt that only saved 1000 (unlimited on Mac) pictures for 1 month and they weren't even full resolution on iOS devices. You shouldn't really be missing it at all, it sucked.

Did you even read the original topic in this thread?

Someone stealing a phone and than deleting all IPL pictures also falls into the category of "going wrong". Backups are for a variety of reasons, hardware failure only being one of them.
You do know how the cloud works right? Love to hear about that setting in a piece of software you are talking about tho.

I don't know what's so confusing about this. I want a setting that makes iCloud Photos work like Photostream.
It's a thing that already exists. It's something Apple invented. I don't know why everyone is acting so perplexed about why I'd want such a ridiculous thing.
If it's so strange and outrageous, why did Apple invent it in the first place?
Ok, Bricked is overstating the frustration. BLUETOOTH is bricked temporarily and well as the iPhone USB connection. Since neither are available, I'd call that a problem.
Rebooting solves it, but who's going to put up with that all the time?
THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN MAVERICKS!
It's clearly a Bluetooth/iPhone problem in Yosemite that is not in Mavericks.
What setting in photo stream? There is no setting, photo stream is not a permanent storage solution. Thats why pictures are duplicated because they are only stored for 1 month. It will also only store 1000 pictures on iOS devices and they are not full resolution (on iOS). Frankly speaking it sucks se nuts and should have been like IPL in the first place.
Photo Stream still exists tho so feel free to use that and its limited functionality. I think you are confused

I did not believe Photostream was a part of the new 'Photos' app. Am I wrong about that?
Apple does not provide enough storage space for me to use iCloud Photos and they did not hook up Photostream to the new app. So basically they've handed me this new app and the only way I can use it is to turn off the internet syncing, which is the whole point of the new app.
Unless I'm wrong, that is. The reviews all make it sound like Photostream only exists for legacy iPhoto users. Perhaps I'm confused about that.
Yes you are confused. You can still use photo stream exactly as before even if IPL is turned on, it has been like this since the beta was released on ios 8. I am running IPL and photostream together on since Photo stream is the only way for now to view pics on the Apple TV. It is not going anywhere for a bit but IPL is so much better tho and you really need to give it a go. If you are paranoid about loosing photos than its back to the backup discussion, it's what you need when permanent cloud storage is involved. Photo stream is not a permanent solution so your backup is essentially the copy on your phone.

As I already said, it's impossible since Apple does not offer enough space.
This is why I'd like a method of choosing which photos get uploaded and which don't. Then I could use IPL.
But since I can't, there's no way I can use it.
I ask for Photos for OSX extensions and you give me Photos for iOS extensions?? Uh, thanks for that... /s
Sorry I missed that bit about no space for cloud storage. I see your point tho with choosing what pics to upload, people have been asking for it. If you don't want IPL than you just use photo stream, I showed you in the picture it still works with the new photos app so no panic.
Thanks for that and it is what I'll do.
But I find it frustrating that Apple doesn't want me as a customer in this situation. You're trying to convince me that IPL is cool but I know that...my complaint is that Apple won't let me use it!
Well the main problem for you is that you have a large library and only want to upload specific photos to IPL since you cannot/don't want get the extra icloud storage. Unfortunatly this cannot be done as of yet unless you do some workarounds.
You could leave IPL turned OFF on your Mac where your whole library resides and than only have pictures upload to IPL from your iPhone or other pics via the icloud.com webclient. At least in this way your iOS devices would have all the photos you like in sync (forever), obviously not an ideal situation tho. iCloud pricing is not that bad unless your library is very big.
Too big.
And I would argue that 200% the cost of Dropbox is "pretty bad," but since they don't even offer a plan that will fit me I don't see the need to complain about pricing for something I can't buy anyway.
Books!
Hi Everyone, Please could someone answer a couple of questions on how Photos behaves?
1. Do book projects get imported from iPhoto into Photos?
2. Do book projects sync in the cloud so I can access them from 2 different Macs?
3. Has anyone merged two iPhoto libraries from different macs into Photos and how did it go?
Thanks in advance to any one who takes the time to answer any of these questions.

True.
Since I live in the apple eco system tho I prefer icloud and 20GB for 1$/200GB for 3$ a month doesn't seem to bad, at least to me. I still have like 3gb of free icloud space left anyway even with all my pictures and videos in IPL. Yes my photo library is tiny
