You received it exactly because you were a PUBLIC BETA Tester over the summer and early fall. You can turn it off if you would like by going to System Preference -> App Store -> "Your computer is set to ..." Change.
Or you are eligible to keep testing with the rest of us. Have a great night and

Oh ok. I'll keep testing. I was under the impression these seeds were only meant for Developers, but since I now know there was no mixup or mistake I'll keep testing
on!P.S. - Have a great night and this fixes a few bugs so it may help ya out a little early. Also if you have a non-apple solid state drive, be pre-pared to re-enable TRIM support.
oh i'd be very concerned if that many people are having the same issue on this forum (or any other forum for that matter).
When you discount a problem because it is only faced by "a handful of people" in view of "the big picture", you imply that only this group of people (and no one else in the world) is facing this problem.
That is of course, not true.
Statistically, we can draw a general conclusion about the "big picture" (as you put it) by obtaining a sample from the population. Granted, forums are heavily biased (due to many factors which i won't go into) but as a sample of the population, it does give us insight into whether a particular problem is isolated or widespread (or in stat terms, statistically significant).
Statistical significance is determined depending on the situation. If you consider 25% as significant in this case (i.e. it is true that 1 out of 4 people faces this specific problem), then 500 "i-have-this-problem" posts against 1500 "everything's-fine" posts is enough to recognise aforementioned problem to be widespread.
You are trying to boil down the statistics based upon a forum of people who clearly are biased to comment on issues related to Apple products. I didn't note specifically that I'm basing my big picture on the actual 10's of thousands, hundreds of thousands or evens millions of devices sold by Apple against the issues reported on a forum like this, but that is my point.
I would actually suggest that Apple users are more likely to report issues on a site like this, compared to the typical pc or even general consumer products that don't have a strong community connection, but also that those people simply using their Apple products without issue are NOT going to report their non-issues and general satisfaction, therefore rendering your suggestion of a larger issue of people facing problems to be completely inaccurate.
This argument is not unlike what happens when you buy a car. Just because your new Accord has a trim rattle that bugs the heck out of you, and that you see 25 other people complain about on an Accord forum, you can't surmise that it's a bigger problem than you think.

I had the same issue on my MBA in the App Store with Aperture, Pages and Numbers being updated, but then still showing up as needing to be downloaded. Made no sense. I called AppleCare, and the fix was this:
Boot into safe mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18760?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US (I'd never been in safe mode before. There were strange screen flickers and graphics loaded oddly, but it all worked.)
Open the App Store and download the apps again that are listed as needing updated.
After they have updated, shut down the computer and reboot.
This seemed to correct the problem and it hasn't happened since, which was a week ago.
Err yes you can because I just downloaded it and installed it on a new Mac to get the 10.10.1 beta...
As long as you were registered for the public beta you can redownload the "Beta Access Utility": https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/welcome
Yep, seems like I was mistaken, it worked for my brother too. I thought someone said they couldn't download it for the second beta, but that works too.*shrug*
Yeah the only prerequisite is that you had to be signed up for the beta.
Apple needs more beta testers anyway so this can only be good.
A couple of new issues, never experienced before in my post below.
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.
These are new for me... Never had any issues before this particular update. And since going back, everything is back to normal. Phew.
Would also be great if the display wouldn't freeze on sleep/wake. I can still ssh into my MBPr (2013) so I know the whole thing isn't frozen but, dang it is annoying.
Also, Safari has been painfully slow for me on both a Mac Mini and the MBPr.
Network connections in general seem slower, and less stable.
Please unhide options in the system that should just show. (like having to hold the "option key" in display preferences to get the detect displays button)
That PDF bug is a big issue in mail. I was receiving client pdfs, and could not open them (said corrupted in preview and adobe.) I would have to open Airmail to get the pdf to open. If I forwarded the mail to my admin to open, she too said it was corrupted. I moved back to Mavericks last week, mail is 95% of my daily work and I need it to be 100% functional and working. Yosemite broke every portion of a stable working major needed application.
iCloud worked ok.
Exchange 365 bugie
Exchange work server, unusable.
^^^^
I don't think it's just one bug with Preview - they really did a job on it.
Besides the choking and pinwheeling, search has been radically changed as well, and not for the better. Start typing and it starts to match everything, keep typing and (obviously) the searches match less. But pause in your typing and the freaking window focus changes and all the sudden you get "bonk bonk bonk" as you type characters into space.
I have been with Apple/Mac a LONG time and I'm getting disillusioned over some of the style over substance decisions being made these days.

To bad my notification center refuses to work. First i had to re-enable all my websites in safari every time i turned on or woke my MBPr from sleep. Now notifications don't work at all.
Open up the Notifications tab in Safari Preferences. Switch the website you want to Deny and then back to Allow. This fixed it for me on both 9to5mac and macrumors.
Hi..I'm with you. No issues with Yosemite, WiFi etc. So I've just installed the second 10.10.1 beta update. Again no issues. I have been playing around with my cable from my D-Link ADSL 2+ router to The Apple Base Station.
Cat 6 A spec cable is better than the old Cat 5 B spec. Better meaning faster internet speed
Another problem with search - I'll be trying to find a word within the PDF itself and it will start searching "Highlights & Notes" even though I didn't have them open. Sometimes it absolutely refuses to search within the document itself, if there are any highlights or notes it will search only within them. Restarting Preview usually fixes this.
Ridiculous!

Glad you're not having issues either. And are you noticing a speed difference between the Cat 6 and Cat 5 cables?
Yes. Subjectively surfing is a lot faster. 14Mbps as opposed to 9Mbps download.
But I'm not sure why A spec makes any difference.
You confirmed what I stated.
APPLE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE MAC PRO MARKET ANYMORE!

You're missing my point...
APPLE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE MAC PRO MARKET ANYMORE!
Yosemite is a slooooooooow dog on a professional Mac Pro.
No professional should upgrade from Mavericks if they have any sense.
----------
And none of the bugs on Mac Pros have been fixed that I can see.
Does Apple really want to sell MAC PRO'S anymore???
I'm starting to wonder.
It's not like I have an ancient machine or anything.
I mean booting to the WRONG SCREEN is just a simple fix.
But not for Apple.
Doesn't Apple realize that PRO USERS have multiple displays?
You iMac users can just laugh in Fanboy joy, but I'm ticked off at Apple right now for spending 3X more than YOU and getting treated like crap.
I am running a clean install of yosemite on a 5.1 mac pro. I do not have any of the issues described. It is definitely not slow on my machine. That is my experience, not a mantra.
