The overall performance is still as bad as on 10.10. As long as transparency isn't disabled Mission Control is very slow and choppy. I can't see any performance improvements.

Apple Seeds Second Beta of OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 to Developers

How ironic was it that when I went to click on the article about the Yosemite update, I got the 'YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET' page.
I understand there can be problems with new operating systems or software, but I find it maddening that Apple just pretends not to hear about until they can correct it. There is no, "hey, we realize there are people having problems, and we are working to correct it." Instead, crickets until the update.

Everything works fine for me since the initial release of Yosemite. I don't need any valuable fix from this beta version, so I'll pass, but it's good to know that they extend the beta program even in the 10.x.x releases.
The big issues were in the Dev Previews of Yosemite, but then again the really big issues were in the betas of iOS 8

I've used every Mac OS version going back to Mac OS 7.1.
With that said, this is the buggiest Mac OS General Master release EVER!
(excluding the original Mac OS X 10.0)
THE IPHONE CONNECT BLUETOOTH OF DEATH BUG ALONE!
You spend $5000 on a Mac Pro and can't connect an iPhone 5s?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME APPLE?
I still can't believe that the Feedback Assistant program itself DISABLES WIFI ROUTERS!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME APPLE??
And then there's empty BLANK BOOT SCREEN OF DEATH because you didn't turn your TV on in time.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME APPLE???
Trust me. Don't believe the Apple Fanboys. They're a cult of favorable press, not real.

Apple is completely ignoring the Mac Pro issues.
If you're not the Darth Vader version, basically Apple's response is FU!
Come buy a new one we support. :-(
Time Machine still borked, cannot browse backups consistently or use favourites to choose folder....
I see - it works for you, so it works for everyone, right?
I have a PDF that chokes Yosemite Preview. No issue at all on Mavericks.
This is a well-known problem - I'm not the only person that's reported the issue, and Apple has had a RADAR open for it in the past - that was pre-release, so I'm disappointed that Apple released it in the first place, and if they don't fix it in 10.10.1 that will be even worse.
I can work around many little bugs and issues but please let this come out soon and fix the waking from sleep every 2 hours issue with the new discoveryd process (as detailed at the link below) so I don't have to keep shutting my Mac down at night (or hack it back to mDNS responder) so I can get some sleep....

It would also be nice the microphone in my webcam worked when answering phone calls and not just with FaceTime video call as it helps if folks can hear you back!

I'm testing Yosemite out (thankfully on a fresh external Thunderbolt drive) and I have the same WiFi issues. Keep losing connection to Internet and my router every few minutes, also got an IP conflict message once also.
So I noticed my host name was xxxx-7, and previously last time I checked it was -5. So presumably since I started using (infrequently for the past 1-2 weeks) I've gone from [no suffix number] all the way up to 7. So have you tried disabling "Wake for network access?" Since then, the disconnects seem less frequent, or perhaps not happening anymore. More info here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/osx/comments/2hxhp9/yosemite_computer_name_changing_for_some_reason/
Yes, I have this. My wifi is fine, but I've noticed my computer name has changed, all the way up to xxxxx (5). Weird.
I've also noticed, in finder my MBP sometimes appears listed twice as a connected server!
Same here! Seems to be causing issues with my TM backups. Apparently switching off "Wake for Wi-fi Network Access" in energy saver is a workaround.
Just jack in your Gig ethernet. Oh wait, thats right, apple dosent think people need reliable networking anymore.
You do realize that you're just one of what is essentially a handful of people having the exact problems you're having? Even if you find 100, 500 or 1000 people on a forum like this saying they have the same problems, it's still just a drop in the bucket when looking at the big picture.
That's not me being a fanboy, just stating the facts. Not everyone has problems and not all problems are the same across all products. I should know as I was having Mac Mail issues with Yosemite (starting with one of the later DP builds) that only a handful of people were having, yet Apple techs were trying to isolate and fix the issue. Sometimes sh;t happens where a particular setting screws something else up and it takes time to figure it out. This is true in computers, cars, houses and frankly, life.
Oof, yeah. They upgraded my work Mac to Yosemite the other day and although Mail said my Exchange account was configured correctly (and checked out OK in that Connection Doctor tool) it spent many hours just quietly not getting any mail yesterday but also not throwing up any errors at all. I happened to check my mail on the horrible Windows machine they also have for me and saw all the crap I was supposed to respond to earlier. I quit Mail and opened it back up and it magically started pulling in emails again.
Thats pretty funny, my Windows machine did just that the other day, Outlook just stopped receiving mail, no messages, etc. Had to scurry to take care of business.
I'm sorry you're experiencing those issues, I really am.
But I'm not sorry that I'm not experiencing those issues. You are in no position to discredit other people's lack of issues when you know nothing about their usage scenarios. Pointing fingers at other people won't solve your problems any quicker, even if it makes you feel better.
I rolled back this evening, after installing the new beta this morning...
It broke my NAS connection, kept disconnecting the drives... (WiFi Bug?)
...
Plus, my MBP kept losing the TC in Airport Utility. Hence, rendering my TM useless. A restart was needed to reconnect, but then once it did a back up the first time, it lost its way again.
Will be steering clear of the betas for a while. Can't be ars*d with all the CCC-ing. Plus it will be knackering my SSD... Jeez, these have a shelf life.

I don't think it's the size of the PDF. I have a theory that searching within a PDF or making any notes/annotations is what eventually screws things up. Sometimes it works fine for a while and then suddenly my system slows to a crawl. Sometimes it slows to a crawl right away. But there is definitely a problem with Preview and PDFs in Yosemite. There's a whole thread about it in the Apple support forums. (Multiple threads actually.)
I had that happen with 10.10.1 first seed. In disk utility I verified disk permissions and then repaired disk permissions and it went away, and I have no issues any further and have not seen the error since.
----------
I had this problem and it is fixable if you go to system preferences -> Sharing -> Change name at top back to what it was.
I am unsure if this is a permanent fix or if it will change every update but it fixes it now.
Hope this helps.

Hi I was not ranting, I was reading saw they had a similar problem to a problem I just had with this CURRENT beta, which is apparently an old issue that I am just experiencing now.
I found a way to fix it (hopefully permanently), and yes I am reporting it to Apple in feedback. I figure we are all in this together and should help each other where we can. So I hope you are having fun testing and that your update went well. If you see a problem please let us know and if you find a fix temporary or permanent let us know. And send feedback to Apple. On behalf of all of us here, thank you for your future help.
