If they did anything to Photos in this seed they didn't change the version, it still shows as 1.0.1. I don't see that they fixed any of the problems I have with this training-wheels-on app (poor/nonexistent access to sorting order, sort by date entered rather than the image date from metadata, various poor designs in the UI, etc).
 
After again trying Yosemite (10.10.3) this weekend, I officially give up on it. Too many bugs to be usable. Maybe 10.10.4 fixes some of them, but Apple has lost my trust with Yosemite. It's actually kinda shocking, as I'm usually a day one upgrader, but Yosemite is a nightmare. I'll see how the next OS update is received but am sticking with 10.9 at least until then.

I don't get it. Yosemite and all of the betas have been rock solid for me on a non-trivial, 16GB mid-2013 MBP setup (external monitor, multi-OSvirtual machines, wired and wireless networking, multiple memory intensive graphics design, photo and video editing apps, Xcode, even Office for Mac and Office for Windows).

I read the comments before updating and so far I have *upgraded* to every beta without issue. For me, Yosemite remains the best OS I've used -- though I believe Windows 10 is shaping up to be an awesome contender.

Net-net: I sympathize with those who are plagued by Yosemite issues, but the OS has been a stellar performer for me .. and I'm scratching my head for an explanation why some are experiencing the polar opposite.
 
I think I'll grab the combo update from an alt source then. Seems like a similar problem to the recent pro-video update that got stuck in an app store loop. Come on Apple, lets tidy up the shop please!

What bugs are you experiencing? It's been rock solid for me on an early 2009 iMac with 8GB of RAM. Honestly not a single issue.
 
On an unrelated note, has anyone figured out the difference between the top folder called "Photos" and the album called "All Photos?"
All Photos has about 1,000 more images in my library...

Really?

Photos is your main collections view, by year, by location, depending on how far you zoom in or out. And you can hide photos from this view.

All Photos is exactly that, all of your photos, including the "hidden" ones.
 
I hope they don't. That would be supremely idiotic of Apple to do so. It affects Apple TV, Home Sharing, BTMM, File Sharing, Wake On Demand... They need to fix this

Dude, if you have wifi issues with that many apps and devices, you probably need to look beyond OS X at your local network. The "Apple TV" is what caught my eye because I'm not aware of anybody have wifi issues with the Apple TV. Apple TV doesn't even run OS X.

My setup is not this complex, but is working well on older hardware with no issue. Not sure what the core of folks issues are, but it would be interesting to find out.
 
I sure hope one of these is a focus on iTunes 12... I can't tell u the number of beach balls i've seen with such switching on stuff, or changing view with only a mere 1,000 songs.
 
FYI if there are any web developers who run Apache locally, it appears Apple updated Apache to 2.4.10 and in so doing, replaced httpd.conf to a stock version. If you made any adjustments to the Apache config, you'll need to re-make them.

This is a change from beta 3 to beta 4, since the last update didn't do this.

What build number is it? beta three is - Version 1.0.1 (215.27.0)

It's one of the most famous network bugs with iOS 8 and Yosemite, Apple TV is involved. It is likely he's referring to the computer name renaming bug which is related to the buggy bonjour's sleep proxy service. One outdated device can poison the entire network and you have to basically shutdown all devices in the network, reboot the router, and then boot up the rest of the devices. Without doing this, your Time Machine backups will be messed up, sharing won't work because it can't find the other devices (due to "ghost" devices caused by the same computer rename bug) and so on.

This was fixed for many people in one of the updates but unfortunately, it still affects people with the latest iOS 8.3/10.10.3 versions.
 
What kind of issues are you experiencing?

Not attacking you just genuinely curious because I have not been using Photos as much as before on my Mac . . .

Sorting by oldest > newest or newest > oldest is simply not there.
I tried just importing from iPhoto, then just aperture, then a whole new library of iPhoto merged into Aperture. it sorts it nicely in iPhoto Events but if I wanted it organized properly in Albums i had to manually pick out each folder and put it into albums the way I wanted to be - so settled with Oldest last and newest first.

but there is no way to organize that.
same with all Photos...you have the luck of the draw to organize by date, title, etc. not all transparent just haphazard.


Im also not liking no preview of albums when hovering over an album full of pictures, it gave me a nice overview and made the albums seem more dynamic than static and stale

Not to jump on someone else's thread, but my biggest complaint is that if you are editing a bunch of images, and delete one, it takes you out of the Editing process, and back to the browser, and you have to click on Edit again.

At first I thought it was burst or HDR photos...but now I'm seeing both in all photos and just Photos. maybe duplicates?

"Dude" lol no its a known bug. Please go visit Ars and you will see the issue in all its glory. Or you can see the 3K plus thread on Apple support with this issue.

Ah yes, the hidden ones. Forgot about those. Thanks!

I'm curious – what is it that works so bad for you in Yosemite? For me it works just as well as Mavericks did, but I guess it depends on what you do with the OS.
 
Is anybody else not getting beta updates on the new 2015 MacBook Pro 15"? Is apple not building the betas for the new model computers yet?
 
And so what? People don't use 56K modems anymore.

That may be but some people are still stuck with DSL and mine maxes out at 6Mbps. Takes me about an hour to download 1GB if I'm using the Internet. Not everyone has access to fast internet. And I reside in California. Kinda sad for 2015 I suppose
 
Still this bug in contacts. Referencing to Photos not implemented yet.

To be honest.. I've stopped caring about these updates. The WiFi + Bluetooth seems to have no fix at all during Yosemite. Resulted in turning off Bluetooth to have a stable connection instead. I keep downloading every Dev seed but, don't care for them really.

I'm just looking forward to WWDC15 now, to see what Apple brings to the table with OS X 10.11 & iOS 9. 13 days to go! Will be a blast :D:apple:

Ah ha! That's the first confirmation that I've seen where turning on Bluetooth fixes the problems. I had to do that on a Mac mini running 10.7, as well.

I personally leave Bluetooth off all of the time, and the rare time that I use it, I'm connecting to the internet over my phone, so Wifi is off anyway. Maybe this is why I keep saying "wifi works perfectly for me!" :p

----------

discoveryd is gone and replaced by mDNSresponder in this seed.

I wonder what problems that brings to the table? I know there's some emotion attached to the DNS wiring under the hood. I've been bitten by that myself where I host local websites for development (on respective .dev domains), and Safari refused to resolve those domains for the first couple of versions of Yosemite. Now it works properly again.
 
On my work MacBook Pro, I found Yosemite buggy, lots of weird crashes. When 10.10.3 came out, I wiped my drive and clean installed OS X 10.10.3 from the App Store. So far, so good. I haven't restarted this Mac in over a month.

I'm having problems where whenever I log in or restart, OS X is asking me for my iCloud password and then telling me I need an app-specific password for Messages, even though Messages is logged in and iCloud is already working everywhere. When I put it in, it keeps asking for it, and I have to cancel the prompt multiple times before it disappears entirely. It's really frustrating me, and I have no idea what's causing this to happen. I was hoping the new beta would fix it, but I was wrong.
