Apple Seeds Seventh OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite Beta to Developers, Public Beta Testers

I'm happy to see so much development taking place. If it is favorably received when released, I might update from Mavericks.

13" rMBPs are already shipping with Force Touch trackpads, and they have 10.10.2.



Me thinks 10.11 (following screen shot is from the last 10.10.3 beta installer).

Doubtful. 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 all went to 10.x.5. For example, Mavericks 10.9.3 dropped in Feb 2014 while 10.9.4 dropped in June and 10.9.5 in Sept. We'll see at least 1 more update to Yosemite before 10.11 drops in October, however 10.11 will be previewed at WWDC.

Having 10.10.11 does not mean there wouldn't be a concurrent 11.0
 
What about the issue where Mission Control gets choppy after a while? Can anyone check if it's been fixed?
 
Am I the only one having an issue where when updating it says 11 Minutes Left then 30 seconds later it is done and I am back into my main screen.

I can never figure why it tells me I have so much time left and then finishes a few seconds later.

Everything appears to be working so I am at a loss of why it does that.

I am on a Retina Macbook Pro.
 
I don't suppose that the Finder dynamically resizes columns to fir in file names automatically yet ... #FrustratingAppleGUILacunae

Honestly I wish Apple would skip 10.11 this year.

Releasing a new OS X every year is what caused Yosemite and Mavericks to be fairly buggy releases; not enough time to get the kinks out.

They should keep Yosemite around for at least another year and perfect it before going forward. They didn't used to have a yearly cycle; I remember back when a new OS X release was a rare thing and not fraught with so many problems.

We just need a 'Snow Leopard' type iteration; lots of bug fixes, refinements and other "under the hood" tweaks vs mass new features. I seem to recall an article saying Apple was thinking along the same lines.

Consolidate, please Apple.

Personally, I never had fewer problems with an upgrade than with Mavericks. Until Yosemite came out, and it had even fewer problems.

There's nothing wrong with yearly cycles, so long as Apple in unaggressive about what they fit into them. Yosemite was surprisingly large for a yearly update, and definitely had the potential for trouble. I can understand why people might have had problems with it. I didn't, though.

Apple doesn't advertise Yosemite as 10.10, do they?
Click to expand...

They don't advertise it as such, but the version number is 10.10 (currently, 10.10.2).

So many betas. This could be like when Domino's decided to make better pizza.

When did that happen? I gave up on Dominos years ago.

I believe iOS 9 is supposed to be a stabilization release - not sure about OS X, though.

We are getting close to release it seems. I plan to format and reinstall from 10.10.3 final release and start from anew. Great thing I use time machine. I've been fortunate enough to not have an issue with Yosemite on my early 2011 17" MB Pro.

Why.
This isn't windows, no need to reinstall, just install the final release 10.10.3 over it.
I am doing this since the 10.0b, yes, 10.0b which came out more than a decade ago.
 
Is it a placebo that I think mission control and launchpad have been getting smoother throughout the betas? I can't tell. :cool:

I would like to know when that happened? I stopped eating at Domino's and Pizza Hut a long time ago both for the same reasons.
 
I hope they fix the Folder Actions Dispatch using 100% CPU constantly and Messages not showing the usernames for each account.

Yep.

But what are the benefits of upgrading from Mavericks?
Click to expand...

1. Faster and more stable than Mavericks, or at least it has been for me. Folder Actions Dispatch is the exception; basically, you cannot use folder actions or else...
2. Dark menu bar looks nice if you have a black bezel.
3. Works with Xcode 4.3 beta and will be required for future Xcode releases.
4. Call and text message forwarding are really convenient.

The Yosemite installer has been notorious for having issues for certain people when updating. It took all day both times I did it and had weird quirks.

The final build doesn't reset the software catalog back to defaults. Since I modified it search for all betas (I am not a developer or have access to public betas), it always gets the latest betas. If I do find a way to reset it, then I would just install final build over it and leave it at that.

I don’t have such as problem. Bluetooth and WiFi are both on and working. You need to be looking at the interference environment you live in, not demanding Apple fix an issue that doesn’t exist in Yosemite. Just because Google returns a bunch of hits doesn’t mean the problem is real. If you read it on the Internet that doesn’t mean it’s true.

So why does it happen to me on Yosemite and not on Mavericks? Surely environmental. Seriously, this "it's not happening to me so it's not happening at all" thing needs to stop.

Yes, i had those too but I use the old fashion manual update now, I download with Software update but won't let it install, I'll go to the Updates folder in the library, locate the updater there and click it.
This way it updates while you can still use your computer, like so many OS X updates before.
I don't get it Apple changed this, the way it is now is a bit Windows like and inconvenient.

There absolutely are Wi-Fi issues in Yosemite. There's a reason Apple has mentioned Wi-Fi in release notes several times.

Mostly, AWDL and discoveryd appear to be to blame.
