Apple Seeds Fourth OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite Beta to Developers, Public Beta Testers

[JACoBlink]

I wasn't using Photos until today because I didn't choose to import my iPhoto library when it installed, and then couldn't find an option to import it later.

Well, I just did: option-click while clicking the Photos icon, and it asks you to import an iPhotos library. Hallelujah! Now I can start playing with Photos.

Was just going to ask if it's normal to have both iPhoto and Photos? I seem to have both...

Ditto I just noticed Faces is broken, 0 Photos for each and all. I did a Repair and its fixed (Opt-Cmd Photos)

Had this issue and the repair fixed this for me as well.

I hope the update has fixed the ability for me to gather Photos app diagnostics. I have not been able to leave any feedback because I cannot gather the diagnostics. However, I set up the profile as instructed when I installed the app. I left a System Preferences feedback report for that issue.

When you start Photos with Opt-Cmd, Photos will prompt with the following;

Thank you! This worked for me and brought all my photos back. Either way, I filed a bug report.

Hopefully everyone uses the Feedback Assistant besides complaining on a public forum.

Yup.

Of course, how else can you keep track of all these regressions. Seriously, I refile with each release.

 

[AstronomyiPhone]

This is a pretty big build, which is odd considering how recently the last one was released (I would have expected this to be a small patch).

Why has Apple never done this?

To some it might seem silly to think of something like this with all the bugs that Apple has to focus on.

But the "Download" buttons on Yosemite is straight from Mavericks and iTunes has new ones that fits more into Yosemite. MAS looks like a half-done beta as it is right now.

Doing this would probably not even take them 1 day to do. (I could be wrong, never coded in my life.)

Just something I threw together in Photoshop.

This happens due to bug in look up feature. A workaround, delete/rename the storyboard mentioned in the crash report and it word look up will once again work. Make sure to open bug report.

Hi, I'm having the same issue with the keyboard freezing when using look up. Can you please elaborate on this? Through the Console app, I see a reference to "Storyboard". But it doesn't say where this file is located. Not sure where I can locate the file in order to rename/delete it.

Thank you.

Found the tip from kid2010 here: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/20841146/

Move the file: /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/XPCServices/LookupViewService.xpc/Contents/Resources/LookupViewService.storyboardc

to your desktop and that's it. Lookup should work now.

Worked for me - thanks!

It's not solely Safari, plenty other processes have this on my System.

I have this issue too.

Does this affect performance in any way?

Worked for me too. However when doing a look up in textedit for example it 'just' shows me dictionary information, no search suggestions on the web.

Yes, yes and yes... been tearing my hair today trying to figure this one out. A temporary fix is to create a test user and then sign into iCloud and FaceTime... This seems to enable iPhone cellular calls. You then log out and log back into your normal admin account. However, it then doubles up the listings of devices on iOS8 Messages settings... So... You go round in circles trying to fix one, but breaking the other.

Bummer.... I went as far as reverting back to 10.10.2 to verify if it worked and it did, and then to go up to 10.10.3 b4 again to loose it.

 

[allanfries]

....and the official public release will be coming when??

 

[nefan65]

This isn't OS X. For me the duet display app was causing it. I told that app not to launch on start up and the issue went away. The transparency turns off the moment that app is launched.

Thanks! I'll give that a try...

----------

Looks like the Calendar app and Exchange is still dicey. iPhone updates fine, as does Outlook for Mac. But the Calendar app doesn't. I can refresh, but still shows an appointment that was moved to a different day in the original time slot.

Has the beta been pulled by Apple, I installed the beta on my office computer about 2 hours back but don't see it on my MBA at home.

Edit: I see it now and am installing it.

 

[ghostface147]

Freak attack is fixed. Maybe it was last beta, but I just noticed it now.

 

[DocMultimedia]

This beta seems really unstable compared to the prior builds. I'm guessing it works really well with the new MacBook and latest updates to Air/Pro, but not so well on older Macs.

 

[MLMcMillion]

Bluetooth and Continuity (via Bluetooth) are *still* not fixed. This is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[hiitsjan]

Does anyone know if the 10.10.3 update will include gTLD support? Right now I can't configure OSX to use my Exchange account because System Settings don't support the new "long" TLD's. Safari supports gTLD's since November 2014...

 

[moophone]

I'm not sure if it was introduced in this build, but I noticed finder scrolling is uber smooth now, and I don't recall it always being so smooth

 

[robgendreau]

Can anybody please check if geotagging has made its way into Photos in this build?

No. Unlikely to in this release at least.

Bummer.... I went as far as reverting back to 10.10.2 to verify if it worked and it did, and then to go up to 10.10.3 b4 again to loose it.

TBH, today... I clean installed 10.10.2... As no matter what I did, the issue kept coming back. Suffice to say, everything is working as intended in 10.10.2.

Note to self... Stop installing betas!!!! They ain't worth the hassle.

However, I did notice some nice refinements in 10.10.3 b4... aside from the iPhone Cellular Calls bug...

So, provided they are kept in the stable release... I'm looking forward to when it goes live.

WiFi.

If Apple *still* can't fix it. After months of being broken. On premium hardware and software.

Then they are either incredibly incompetent or arrogant.

Incompetent because with all that huge cash pile that can't get this right when others with me control like Linux and even Windows can.

Arrogant because they'd rather invest in emojis. While people who paid over the odds for computers that need for work and daily life end up with a shiny brick.

Even my cheap netbook WiFi works.

What router are you using Mr angry?

What router are you using Mr angry?

Any and all I encounter at home, work, internet cafes ... so scientifically the idea that it is NOT the router's fault is fairly well supported by evidence. Plus all these same routers I encounter work fine with Windows 7 and Linux Centos and Fedora.
