Apple Seeds Third OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite Beta to Developers and Public Beta Testers

[melgross]

Huh?

Well, this is confusing. The previous article, right below this on on the page today, says that there is a new, or majorly revised music app included. Yet, this article says that there are no new consumer facing features. Since the new music app is part of the new beta, these are contradictions.

What´s new with Photos that is.. Let us know.

Subscribing primarily to get the scoop on this too. Still trying to decide on between Lightroom, C1 and so far running dismally behind, Photos as a replacement for Aperture. (I can hope Photos might add at least a few more things right)?

One is OS X and the other is iOS. :|

The problem with "the wifi bug" is that I doubt it's A bug. It's likely not as simple as that.

Its all code in the end.

 

[TheChallinor]

Any feedback on Bluetooth trackpad issues would be appreciated. Widespread problems with 10.10.3

 

[mrfoof82]

Any chance they've addressed some of the problems with discoveryd? At this point I think everyone I know who has upgraded to Yosemite has been bit by it at least once or twice. For those experiencing "WiFi bugs", odds are good it's actually related to the issues with discoveryd.

Quick download for me.

Firmware was updated.

Alas, Preview still broken. Doesn't look like they touched it (again), copyright is still 2014.

 

[Corrode]

Its all code in the end.

But this thing seems so drawn out that it must be a major fix. Probably won't see it solved until 10.11, unfortunately.

I just wish my iMac trackpad worked.

Photos is version 1.0.1 now

Dude... Give a comprehensive review of the new Photos 1.0.1.

We´re dying to know what they included of new features.

 

[Larsen2k4]

Hmmm. I don't know, then. Sorry.

Nevermind, it worked with the account of my wife.
I should contact Apple to resolve the problem with my acc.

Strange, Gmail can't connect in the Mail app after the update anymore.

This could be the one that finally fixes the wifi bug...

Just go look up how to wife out your wifi config man. You can manually fix this for yourself.

Well my DL time went from 8 minutes to 4 hrs back to hr ... Time is jumping all around like usual on MAS DL's

Cancel the download and restart it. will download much faster.

 

[MacBird]

Cancel the download and restart it. will download much faster.

That is what I did and it took 1 minute only after restarting the download.

Didn't they say they would allow plug-ins at some stage?

I had all my pictures on iPhoto/Aperture. Don't know if I should move whole library to Lightroom. :/

Is there a way to find out graphic driver version of Intel Iris Pro only MacBooks? When I run check the system information, I get no information about the gMux version.

I installed the last 10.10.4 update, and it caused one issue on my Late 2010 MacBook Air....it caused my computer to run extremely hot. I have SMCfanControl installed and on 10.10.3 my MBA ran around about 110 degrees fahrenheit just browsing the internet and iTunes open.

Then on 10.10.4 even just browsing my MBA was running at around 130-145 degrees F. So I did a clean install of 10.10.3 and I am not installing any 10.10.4 updated until I know it is solid.

I know there are other issues that can cause the computer to run hot, but I checked all those out and nothing showed up so I figured it was the 10.10.4 update. Just giving my two cents.

 

[MrCamaleo]

Hopefully they have fixed the flickering/restart issues introduced with 10.10.3

Anyone can confirm?
Thanks!

Quite funny on my rMBP Late 2013 it shows the same info as the user you quoted. gMux Version: 4.0.8 [3.2.8]

Don't know why its missing on your page. Between what does that help "gMux Version"?

Or are you looking at other info?

Another Nay sayer.
WIFI issues was and still is a problem.
The beta I am on (beta2) had it solved for me, so I thought, yet after 1 week the problems started again.
Strange thing is, I didn't have any WIFI problems in the pre release OS X 10.10 beta's, the the problems started and hasn't been solved since.
It IS still not fixed, and yes it's 10.10.x, not hardware.
I started using OS X from 10.0b, never had any WIFI issues, until Yosemite came along.

Could it be that I have the one with Intel Iris pro only and you have the one with both Nvidia and Intel Iris pro?

Did you open Activity Monitor to see what was using the CPU most?

 

[justperry]

Lol, so ever since installing one of the original Yosemite betas, the Mac App Store has shown all the developer betas as updates for me.

I originally thought 10.10.4 was the cause of a bunch of increasingly bad wifi issues, but it's still persistent on 10.10.3. I thought that since maybe that drive/file system has been on 10.10.4 at some point that, I was going to still have problems. Now I'm convinced it's something wrong with the hardware in my 2015 MDA as I tried 10.10.3 on an external disk and and formatted the internal drive with it and it's still giving me problems. My 2010 MacBook reports accurate speeds in comparison now I'm even able to get a better connection in the MBA with using my iPhone as a USB hotspot.

It is most likely NOT hardware, some people have WIFI issues and they are still not completely solved, I have them since 10.10.0., never had one single WIFI issue since 10.0b more than a decade ago.
