Apple Seeds OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Build 14C94b to Developers

I have the same issues here... and am currently working with Apple Engineering to get it fixed!
A workaround I am using to keep the network up and the units talking to each other is to add Airport Utility to your Login Items, Users & Groups, System Preferences. (I also opted to hide the app). So that, on reboot, the app opens and sits in the dock, as a background process. This has kept the connection live and stable and since applying this, I have seen a return to regular TM's and a steady, 'ready when you are' connection to the TC.
Give it a go... In the meantime, hopefully Apple will deal with this issue... Which is gaining sufferers on Apple Support Communities.
If they don't fix the graphics switching bug that freezes rMBP's, esp 2012, I will go back to Mavericks. This bug is the worst I've seen in years.
Relax dude. This usually happens whenever Apple make major changes to the UI. 10.5 Leopard and 10.6.2 Snow Leopard had similar problems. They are usually fixed in the next release.
Every OS that Apple released had certain problems yet we end up forgetting the next year, try the new version, hate on it and either downgrade or complain the same way you just did. Remember the issues with Mavericks? No? Well I did. I got a long reply about how much slow and unresponsive it was . . . And that Mail sucked. P.S. For me, Yosemite was faster than Mavericks. Sorry if that hurt your "true" statements but just because you have glitches doesn't mean it is happening with everyone. Everyone has their favorite working OS X

Wait you're serious right? I didn't notice any difference. I more concerned with how mail finally launches in <3 seconds

and they really should. yes they would have to wade through a lot of crud, but, there is a whole lot of valuable feedback here as well.
ejecting external drives
Has anyone else had a problem with this version of the OS ejecting external drives for no reason?
I now can't do any backup thanks to this update.

Yes, happens to me as well - and actually since 10.10.0.
At least in my case it seems the pattern is:
- Time Machine starts with backup to an external drive (I use one drive with 2 partitions, one for TM backups, another one for some other data)
- That external drive gets disconnected. And it isn't a clean eject, it's just abruptly disconnected so that OS X complains that the drive wasn't ejected properly etc.
So far it always happened that way - when Time Machine backup process was active.
It happens randomly -> impossible to reliably reproduce.
syslog shows nothing useful, just that the drive disconnects, but nothing tells why
Installed new Public Beta (build 14C94b) on a late 2010 iMac 27" with a Seagate external firewire drive (for Time Machine).
So far no problems. Wi-Fi works without fail. TM works as well. I can do a backup and browse much older backups without issue.
What it did fix for me was the way (in the previous beta) that any PDF's on the Desktop were represented by the standard adobe reader icon and now those icons are showing miniature representations of the actual document as has been the case for a long time. (Any photo/image files are also now showing mini versions of the image and not generic icons)
Mail does indeed open in ~ 3 seconds or so. Can't really say if Safari is 'snappier' but it scrolls smoothly and so far has no glitches.

thats really odd, different for me, i have an external verbatim drive which literally backed up 2 hours ago, installed this beta, then no matter how many times i replug it its ejected within 30 seconds-1 minute. havent seen this before. might call Apple support
re: random ejects
Not sure if this is related or helps? But I had this problem with my new 2013 Mac Pro when I first added an external Thunderbolt drive array to it.
It would randomly disconnect the array from OS X (not cleanly), and corrupted my data a couple of times. (I was redirecting my Home holders for my user accounts to it, and that's what got corrupt from the unexpected ejects.)
Finally, I realized sleep mode was the culprit. I had to go under "Energy Saver" in System Preferences, and check-mark the box for "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off." I also un-checked the box that allows the hard drives to sleep.
No more probems ever since, but it's apparently an issue with my external drive enclosure not behaving well with Sleep mode.

I've had a freeze when I plugged in a beamer. Had to restart holding the power button. First freeze/crash using Mac - ever. Very disappointed.
Haven't had much time to play with it yet, but i noticed immediately that spotlight search is now fixed and working as it should. Before it wouldn't load results half the time, you'd have to backspace and retype.
Thank God!!! Was driving me crazy since I use Spotlight a lot!
You guys think OS X is buggy.... You should use Swift and Xcode
Though I do love Swift, even its silly beta self

Just checking to make sure you know about Trim Enabler. If so, carry on.
I did use trim enabler, The issue I am referring to is the fact that you have to disable Kext driver signing completely in order to enable it in Yosemite, otherwise the system won't boot with TRIM enabled. In Mavericks and earlier there was no need to disable anything else to enable TRIM. I appreciate the thought, Trim Enabler is pretty awesome. But really, Apple should be the one supporting TRIM without any 3rd party being involved.
My late-2010 iMac still has completely garbled graphics with Yosemite. Frequently it crashes so badly I can't even use the mouse and have to force power off. It's not a hardware issue as it only ever started when I installed Yosemite and it's been documented on Apple forums by other users. It's been speculated that they left out the graphics drivers for this iMac.
I hoped 10.10.1 would fix it but it didn't, and 10.10.2 doesn't have a focus on graphics either. It's going to be a huge headache wiping and reinstalling Mavericks and everything on my main home iMac system.
This is Windows ME territory for me. Next time I'll only upgrade OS X near the end of the release cycle.

Ah, "finally" this fixed my sleep issue.
My Mac Mini 2012 refused to awake from sleep from earlier 10.10.2 beta's, it has been fixed now, hope for others too.

10.10.2 beta 4
I Managed to have 10.10.1 and 10.10.2 beta 3 without any wireless drops at all and i have MBP mid 2014
what i have had is a lot of overheating with chrome and virtual machines which is generally expected but other bugs such as using extended desktop and safari i cant use my main screen etc which also happens in VLC but not pro presenter.
10.10.2 beta 4 seams more quiet less fan roaring chome doesnt use significant energy
im yet to see the filevault issue yet it was partially patched after the ntp update but is still paused.

How does the dictionary in Safari work for you guys? Ever since I updated to the current public beta 10.10.2 invoking the dictionary with the three finger gesture produces a translucent dictionary window with illegible grey text. Reported the bug already but just curious if anyone has this issue too.
No problem here, see attachment.
