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

They still haven't fixed all the flickering GUI issues. The overall graphics issues in Yosemite is pathetic. As a matter of fact, I installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro last night and all the flickering GUI problems went to away. When I say "flickering" GUI I mean you can see flashing of the graphical user interface when using some applications. It happens a TON in Apple's very own Logic as a matter of fact. I even made a video of it happening (hoping it would help). No such luck...

What about the issue where Mission Control gets choppy after a while? Can anyone check if it's been fixed?
 
installing the beta

I have searched for an answer, but came up short -

will the 10.10.3 release install over the 10.10.x beta? Or 10.10.4 for that matter (at some point in the future?)

Yes, I have read the disclaimer about reinstalling and for use on a non-production machine - I would rather not reinstall however!

Thanks and appreciate the input.

Yes it will. :) We will most certainly have the same build number as the public people

Yes. Once it's officially released, you'll be able to install it over the beta like any other update.

Glad it is not just me. This means that others have submitted feedback about this significant problem.

I've logged in and out of FaceTime and iCloud so many times and it has yet to fix the issue. Just keeps telling me that both FaceTime and iCloud need to be logged in to the same account. Which of course, they are. I wish just logging in and out would fix it.

This release fixes it. :) You can even see that the checkmark to enable calls through your iPhone is enabled already once the installation and reboot has been done.

Good. It may be frivolous, but I really enjoy not going to the phone when it's charging in another room.
 
Mail and Safari fix

As long as it fixes the slow clunky behaviour of these two apps I'll be happy. They have been appallingly slow and unresponsive since the upgrade to Yosemite. :confused:
 
Downloading now, 1.52 gb for this one, compared with 1.49 for the last one.
I don't understand all these wi fi issues, I never had any issue with any of that.

I'm using a pair of AirPorts (older AirPort Extreme is slaved to the newer AirPort Time Capsule) for better coverage in the house.

Installed, rebooted, opened up FaceTime and tried to enable the checkbox to enable iPhone cellular calls and am receiving the same error message saying that FaceTime and iCloud are not lofted in to the same account. So frustrating!!

Same here.

Still not really satisfied with Photos either, there are still too many unresolved issues to make it a near-spotless release. Photo Stream sometimes disappears, fullscreen mode is not retained upon relaunch, face detection is not working correctly anymore (since last beta), still too many design shortcomings: very limited drag and drop (e.g. when you want to drag pictures to another app, you need to use the share or export options instead), lacking batch tools for renaming or changing data other than dates (e.g. titles, tags or descriptions). Also the edit mode is a bit tedious if you want to edit multiple pictures, you have to do it one by one. Overall, it just misses that spark of a good Mac app that surprises you with it (subtle) feature-richness.

this very much!!

also, when in edit mode: the buttons don't have feedback to show you that you used them (easy feature) AND you can't undo certain actions by clicking that button again, which means every time you have revert to the original if you're not sure or can't remember.
 
Is it me or is Photo's different? I opened it and for the first time I see my albums as iPhoto used to show Events, above that on top from left to right are "All Photo's", "Faces", "Last Import", "Panoramas", "Videos", "Slo-mo".

It's laid out almost exactly like iPhoto was when you first open it, aside from a lack of skimming through pics as your mouse cursor moves over an album.

Make sure you aren't just using your phone # as your FaceTime id. On the phone FaceTime settings under 'you can be reached at' make sure an email addr is also selected.
 
Downloading now...

and yes, Safari seems snappier! :eek:

Seriously though, I still see a few glitches here and there that I hope this fixes.
 
Anyone having a bluetooth issue where it stops working after the laptop is suspended (lid shut)? It shows enabled but does not disable or connect to anything until I reboot. Started with the last two beta's.
 
It does feel more zippy in general even though i know they're mostly only working on the Photo's app.
 
I'm surprised Apple is shipping updates weekly now and making a lot of changes as well. In this update, the LookUp is faster and more useful as well.

I'd think they'd be focusing on 10.11 full time but it seems like they're putting more efforts now on 10.10.3 and iOS 8.3. I don't understand why now, instead of the first 6 months where we could've use these improvements.

Or one for Mail.app? So tired of it expanding in memory footprint, or pinwheeling for 20 minutes when I log in after auto-lock.

You must be using Gmail? Use a real IMAP email service and you shouldn't have that problem. Gmail's half IMAP/ half proprietary setup is like poison to any email application designed to work with the IMAP standards.
 
I can see what's going to happen here. Yosemite will just about become ok and then Apple will release another "fantastic" OS which will be full of bugs. A year later, that will be stable then they release...I'm sure you get the idea.

We (ok, I) don't need a new OS every year. I used Windows XP for 6 years. It was pretty good in 2001 and even better by 2007. Most of industry (not office staff...industrial use) still uses it because it's solid as a rock. That's what I want..a Mac OS that's as solid as a rock!
 
Is anyone else noticing that Photos absolutely obliterates your upload bandwidth when uploading to icloud - to the point where even loading a website somewhere else on your network is an exercise in frustration?

I'm going to install this latest beta to see if it's any better but my network became unusable when I had it enabled on the previous beta. They need to implement an auto throttling mechanism so it backs off and doesn't fully consume your upload bandwidth.

Also for reference, I have a decent internet connection - 35/3 Mbps.
