Apple Seeds OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Build 14C99d to Developers

Hmmm, my issue with this build that started last build still exists. iTunes now asks for me to allow incoming connections. I'll delete it from the firewall preference pane and it will work one time, but then returns. How odd. Other than that, no issues at the moment.

Re-installing iTunes fixed this for me. I had the exact same problem.
 
General "Upgrade" policy since Jaguar (from Apple's own forums)

Never "upgrade" until X.X.5. or X.X.6, and then leave it alone until the very last release in the series.

Under any conditions. By that release they'll actually have something fairly fit and stable for real public consumption.

Also gives third parties time to be completely caught up.

Reason to avoid releases after X.X.5 is because they've started to screw things up with "handles" for the next major release.

Now that Apple is bent on a new "free" "upgrade" each year, even more caution than normal is urged.

In general, Mavericks broke ALL the streamlining done in Snow Leopard in favor of more "connectivity", and I seriously doubt Yosemite is going to be any more streamlined except cosmetically.


:apple:
 
Whats scary is as far as we know they will be announcing Mac OS 10.11 in 5 months at the June WWDC and 10.10 is still not working as it should, still seems to be many with WiFi issues :eek:

I could not agree more. Either Apple needs to hire more internal developers for their OS development or they need to push back their release cycle.

Between iOS and OS X, I feel like I'm apart of a perpetual beta cycle. I prefer stability and usability over beta features that almost work.

-P

Arg, last beta fixed my sleep/wake issue, now mail won't get any new mail on any accounts I have.

Things get fixed, new bugs introduced!

Same for me, for the email. There is a thread hanging after sleep. Opening the activity window and killing those sessions will make it work again but obviously you shouldn't be manually killing sessions to make mail work.

Yep same thing on my 5K iMac with iTunes.

I often wonder just what it is about wireless connectivity that Apple struggles with. Bluetooth and WiFi seem to be among Apples weakest skills. You'd think after all these years they'd get tired of the repeated failures they've had.

Those of us who have been long time customers, especially with their laptops have had more than our fair share of bugs, annoyances and even rather long stints of down time. Apparently it will never be a priority.

I think these bugs in general have something to do with AirDrop (now updated to work with iOS devices over wifi). We didn't have these long standing connection glitches until these continuity features came.
The models I seen that never had wifi problems didn't support handoff and iOS to Mac airdrop.

Bluetooth and WiFi just seem to be difficult, really. I use a SP3, and the WiFi has been patched via drivers at least eight times.
 
theres plenty guides how to fix the wifi problems, worked for me, and when i fixed the wifi problem the bluetooth problem alos disapeared

I hope we see Photos soon. I need a photo manager that works without question between iOS devices. Other 3rd party options are not ideal and iPhoto has never been ideal. Photos on iCloud.com just don't cut it, it can only do a fracture of what the desktop component will be able to do.

And I was recently watching David A. Cox (PC Classes Online) and he said that someone he knew inside of Apple (sort of a insider) told him to not organize anything on iPhoto if you plan to, reason being Photos will launch soon, so I hope it's bundled with the final 10.10.2. :D

Link?
This is the only news I've heard about Photos in months.

MAIL is slow and it has deleted about 40% of old emails and email addresses
SAFARI so slow and it crashes at least 3 times a day
iPHOTO it is a beta app nothing to do with old iPhoto
WiFi disconnects and very slow rate even at .11AC router 10 ft away
Bluetooth.... why not having bluetooth 4.x long range already in apple devices?
OS 10.10.1 DONT UPGRADE to Yosemite it is a major downgrade from Maverick!! :mad:

Try rebooting once more. I find that OS X updates need a few reboots to get things going in the right direction.

If nothing happens, try disabling and re-enabling the accounts in Mail. Check the console to see if there's anything helpful.

Seems I am not the only one with yahoo/mail issues, a restart does not seem to fix it either.
There is a short thread on Apple discussions here:

Mail - IMAP problem accessing inbox

I have an issue accessing my Yahoo Inbox using IMAP with Mail 8.1 on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.1. The Connection Doctor confirms connection and login for both IMAP and SMTP. When I select Get Account Info at the bottom of the left column in the Inbox pane, the Quota Limits tab shows the number of messages in several mail folders I have on the server, but shows the Inbox with 0 messages, which is not correct. When I select Get New Mail from the Mailbox tab, the Yahoo mailbox is grayed out. On one attempt when it was not grayed out, it returned the message "The server returned the error: the attempt to read data from the server imap.mail.yahoo.com failed".

The following solutions found online have been tried without success:
--take account offline then Get All New Mail
--remove and reinstall the Yahoo internet account in System Preferences
--remove the Yahoo internet account, then re-add as an "Other" mail account
--delete com.apple.mail.plist files in the Library, then restore by restarting the program
--delete com.apple.mail folder in the Library, then restore by restarting the program
--reduce password characters to 8, alphanumeric

As a final attempt, I removed Mac OS X from the "Manage apps and website connections" section in my Yahoo account profile. I removed and restored the Yahoo account in Mail, but this did not restore Mac OS X in my Yahoo account.

IMAP access worked fine until just a few days ago. Access through Web browser and my iOS devices has fortunately been unaffected. What broke?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I'm real interested in seeing what it actually fixes. Seemed like 10.10.1 didn't fix anything it was supposed to fix.
 
I hope the WiFi issues gets fixed. My issue is that websites don't load (happens randomly.) The Url Bar gets about 40% and doesn't progress any more.

One of these sites is MacRumors. I have to turn off the Wifi connection and turn it on again.
 
Only issue I've had since the original release day, has been a few crashes with Safari. 3 in total. The 10.10.1 update seemed to fix that for me, and everything seems normal enough since the update. Any update is a good update in my books.:)

You are absolutely right. They fix one thing and break fundamental functions like bluetooth. I regularly have to restart bluetooth to connect to my keyboard and trackpad now whereas all Yosemite versions up till 10.0.2 beta lines have worked fine for the most part. I'm not sure what they think they have fixed, but I'm not seeing any progress in this latest test build. The way I see it, any alpha, beta or release should have rock solid core functions or shouldn't be sent to even test. I mean seriously? Wifi? Bluetooth Apple peripherals? Is that really too much to expect?
