Apple Seeds OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Build 14C106a to Developers

my bluetooth audio has a lag of 10 seconds with any video i play on the internet!!! how great is that!!!

Yosemite has over 50% of reviews with one star, people hate this OS!!!

But hey, there are watches coming and phones worse than android are coming too!!!

Apple is dead in 3, 2, 1...
 
It is kind of sad to think that:

-It's 2015 and Apple still can't fix Wi-Fi on their flagship OS

-Apple is still trying to fix basic OS bugs in 10.10 and 10.11 is 10 months away now from release??

-Windows on my neighbor's MBP (bootcamp) has better Wi-Fi reliability than OS x.

Crazy...

-P
 
build os x 14C106a

I get scared every time i update wondering if my little MBA will make it safely back to the desktop ... it restarts then it installs with the app store logo and then restarts again with the apple logo and the bar and some times it needs to restart again with the apple logo and to bar before it goes to the completing installation screen then I know its safe and has enough power to make it back to the desktop :apple:

Works

I'm a developer using the latest beta. It works fine. Yes, there are problems with handoff and personal hotspot but those were bound to be wanky features anyway. You can always just connect your phone to hotspot the old way.

I think the complainers are overreacting. I use my macbook air 2013 for software development, video editing, and audio production, and it works. It doesn't freak out and crash hard like the old days of OS.

For you complainers who insist on upgrading to the latest version of OS X while it's still on the .1 or .2 version and expect it to work flawlessly, I suggest you call

I hope you're referring to the beta .1 and .2 or you just sound like a fool. 10.10.1 is supposed to be STABLE release. At what point am I allowed to expect my OS to work flawlessly? Once they move on to another major version? So once they go to 10.11, only then can I expect Yosemite to work correctly? For someone who is supposedly in software development, your understanding of versions of software is severely limited.
 
I have yet to experience any wifi issues on Yosemite. Did have issues with Bluetooth before the last update though. Then again I had Bluetooth cutting out on me with Mavericks as well. With a 240GB SSD and 16GB Ram my MBpro is working above my expectations on 10.10.1

In my opinion Yosemite is the best OS X out there.

I'm not trying to bag on anyone here. But all the complaining about Yosemite makes me wonder if it's just the users, not the OS.

I have several Macs running Yosemite. No Finder slowness, no Mail issues, no Safari crashing, no WiFi disconnects, no Preview slow-downs with PDFs (though I generally use Acrobat), no Bluetooth disconnect issues.

The only issue I have with Yosemite is the Notification icon disappearing from the menubar—and I KNOW that it's due to a conflict with Bartender app.

Most all of the Macs I own are maxed out on RAM and have SSD drives, so I suppose that could be a reason. I also don't run any sort of disk utilities or 'cleaning' apps. In general, I don't run a lot of background apps either.

The point is, why do so many not have any issues, and so few do?

It's not the Users, I am on OS X since the first beta, that is 10.0 beta, it was rough in the beginning but then OS X became rock solid, Yosemite is not one of them, plenty of bugs with the UI, and this is the first OS X release for me to have Wifi issues, mDNSresponder was replaced by DiscoveryD, if you replace DiscoveryD with mDNSresponder all issues are gone, so it is still buggy.


Why DNS in OS X 10.10 is broken, and what you can do to fix it.

RAM and an SSD will help to get a faster system but it has no impact on the working of OS X in a way to make WIFI flunky, it has almost no impact on the system except to be faster.

I have a tonne of background processes running, proc time is negligible.

Last beta I had Wifi dropouts again, the one before fixed it, hopefully this one fixes it again.
 
*Knocks On Wood* It looks like this has fixed my WiFi issues. Yay!

And I'm kinda tired of people saying it must be the users fault or the users hardware just because they themselves aren't experiencing a problem. WiFi for me, at least, was miserable on my MacBook Retina 15" at home, at work, and several of our employees are having problems who were just fine under Mavericks.

It's a known issue. Not the users fault.
 
The QC issue are a major discussion around the web and many have concluded that Apple simply has to much on it's hands and not enough staff to handle it all.
 
The lag on my mid-2010 MBP has been dreadful since installing Yosemite last year. I have to reset the PRAM at least once a week otherwise it slows to such an extent that double-clicking a folder takes 3-5 seconds before it actually opens. Using OS X for time-critical work is a horrible experience - like trying to run through mud.

Yes I did a 100% clean install, no copied preferences etc. I have 8G of RAM. Nothing weird installed.

Someone earlier mentioned is it the users. I don't think so. I don't come on here much and haven't really followed the discussion about its problems so this isn't just a cognitive bias from my point of view.

Also Safari now silently closes at least once a day, but I can live with that. It's the lag that's dreadful.

On the upside, I really prefer the flatter GUI of Yosemite and I have no wifi issues (perhaps because I use a wired keyboard & mouse?) so I suppose it could be worse. Would prefer not to have to fork out for a new Mac just yet, but I may have no other option.

I'd like to discuss and progress this, but not in a pre-release topic. Have you posted details elsewhere, in a topic for a released build?

Hi Graham. No I've not, and my apologies if I posted in the wrong thread - I've only just noticed there's a dedicated Yosemite section of the forum. I will go and check it out. I suppose my point is, I really hope this forthcoming update resolves the lag problem. If it doesn't, I will have to try and devote a bit more time to investigating it but time is in short supply at the moment.

I hope I never need to work with you. A decent developer will acknowledge users' concerns and not mock them in such an infantile way.

I am also a developer. I have been using OS X for 8 years, and it is only now that wifi has become a total pain in the ass. Wifi in Yosemite is a major regression for many users. Do you think we're all posting because we have nothing better to do?

Even Apple confirms it has issues with Wi-Fi, just look at their seed notes for the past several months, it always had Wi-Fi in the focus area.

Just to clarify for some folks who thinks there is no issue with Wi-Fi: it's not the actual Wi-Fi itself that's problematic, it's the whole network software stack (bluetooth, Wi-Fi, DNS, handoff, etc) that's buggy. One glitch in one area ends up affecting the rest. If you're doing something on your Mac that doesn't push the stack to its limits, you're not likely to see any issues.

discoveryd right now is the most unstable network component on Yosemite, the same library that was replaced at the last minute in later Yosemite development in DP 4-5. If discoveryd craps out, you'll have issues with connecting your devices, seeing ghost copies of your Macs in the network, etc etc etc.

It appears that 10.10.2 is showing a lot of improvements with discoveryd but it hasn't yet fixed all of the glitches. We probably need 2-3 more updates to get it to the stable level like mDNSresponder it replaced.
 
Bootcamp...?

I'm not a developer, so apologies for crashing the party.

I've had no problems with Yosemite so far except with the problems with Bootcamp. It hasn't destroyed the 'Maverick's partition' (as with many others') but Windows 7 stopped working and needed to be reloaded. It doesn't! The problem seems to be that Bootcamp never recognises the Apple drivers. I have 2 machines and it is the same for both. Other forums on this issue reflect that I am far from being the only one. Can any developer report that this major problem has been fixed?
Thanks.
Richard (UK).
