I just logged in 20 minutes ago and it downloads no errors. So its working now.
 
Seriously.....with the piddly market share OS X has and the massive resources Apple has....why is it every launch is the same. Slow or not available?

Because of course Microsoft updates are always smooth as silk...

I thought installation was almost finished because it was showing 2 minutes left. It's almost been one hour like this.
I opened up the Installer Log, and saw a spinning beach ball for about 3 minutes, and it finally shows what it's doing. It's not frozen, so I'll just let it do what it's doing overnight.


edit:
I just tried to move my cursor, and it's completely frozen now...
What should I do?

edit2:
My keyboard and touchpad was dead on the laptop. I plugged a USB mouse, and I was able to close the log screen, and saw Rebooting in 10 seconds. Now rebooting.

I have a 2013 rMBP13 with i5/8GB ram/256GB ssd.
 
Photos

So where is the Photos application they're bragging that will replace Aperture. Heck I even got an update for Aperture when I installed Yosemite, I wish Apple would just keep this application, update it into Aperture X with the Photos UI and third party support plugin.
 
Seems a bit screwy - I installed Beta 4 last week assuming the release version would install over it. App store acts like there is no update.

I guess I have to wait for 10.10.1

I was mistaken. There is a build difference, so I suggest you just download Yosemite from the AppStore again and install it over.
 
It was still a beta just days ago and plenty of problems were reported and uncorrected. No Golden Master. RAM hog. All-around slow. I have an SSD installed and it just feels like I'm running on a regular HDD, complete with lags and frequent BBoD appearances. Noticeable lag in pretty much every operation. CPU usage always high thanks to these unnecessary translucency effects, meaning shorter battery life and high fan noise. Crappy green button and debatable UI changes. UI inconsistencies. Bad colour balance. Evasive draggable top bar. Imprecise batteries meters, both Bluetooth and internal. Come on, have you hired Window's file transfer box developer, Apple? Still impossible to install AppleJack. Crappy spam filter in Mail. Windows stealing focus. Undifferentiated or mismatched external drives icons.

Have you noticed how many processes are running on an "idle" machine? As small as they are, they surely have to ask for resources at some point.

Releasing an unripe OS doesn't do good to Apple's rep. They haven't finished ironing out Mavericks yet. I guess I'll revert to Mountain Lion once the official beta closes.

Have the lucky few around here been able to connect without error to 802.1X-secures WLANs?


You gotta be doing something wrong. I've been running Yosemite on a 2013 15" rMBP since August, no noticeable problems.




How did you install the final version of Yosemite? I thought the installer just tells you you already have Yosemite installed and won't let you do anything?


Manually download it from the Mac App Store. I updated to the final release version a while ago.

If you bothered paying attention, you would know that it's not coming to early next year. Aperture just got an update, so if it works, what are you complaining about?? I have aperture, works fine for me.
 
Installed on a secondary MacBook Air with no problems. Very smooth. But this is the ugliest OS X I've ever used. I'm disappointed.
 
I've tried to download Yosemite twice now, and both times I get this message:

The application could not be downloaded.
The installation could not be started.

This occurs with about 10 minutes left of downloading. Anybody have this problem or know a way around it? Don't really want to download the whole 5+ Gigs again.

Just completed the download after an hour. Which was good, because it gave my MBA time to fully charge, and complete some errands, including making a run to Pinkberry.

Just made the USB installer disk as well and with that...

Red Five, I'm going in.

BL.
 
I'm not thrilled with the changed green button. The only app I use in full screen is Mail, but the zoom button I use all the time. Guess I'll have to get used to resizing windows manually.

Option-click the green button to use the original resize function. :cool:
 
Just finished and it downloaded. No errors. Now to decide how to install.
 
Impatience

So many of the problems people are reporting are simply congestion on the servers. It kind of happens a bit every time. Tomorrow, it'll work fine.

I have the exact same macbook exactly the same issue. Could you reply back if you find a fix, many thanks.
 
Sweet update in one hour!

This is by far the smooth updates from Apple for me in just one hour or less! But what about Continuity? When will it start work? From coming Monday with iOS 8.1 update?
 
Just installed on my 2011 MBP. Took about 30 mins I think, to install. Downloading it was a little over an hour.

Everything looks clean and really bright. I hope there aren't any bugs. Can't wait to see applications updating their UI to fit Yosemite.
 
Sh|t that does't work.

1. No Photo Cloud beta anywhere to be found for OSX or iOS.

2. Phones calls only work for incoming. Can't call out.

3. Incoming phone calls sound like a gopher drowning to the person on the other line.

4. SMS does not work. Can't send or receive.

5. Family Sharing won't work with Pay Pal and there's no Apple Pay option. (really ??)

6. Air Drop still does't work. Also, barely works with iOS devices. Some say it's because I have a dual band router with mixed N and AC clients. Okay. It's an APPLE ROUTER.

All you who were involved with beta-testing are FAILS.

Continuity is working for me just fine. The only thing that's not working for me is SMS with iMessage. Gonna look into it now and see if I missed a setting somewhere.
 
Is it just me this whole Flat look is just too FLAT? I feel like it just boring on my iMac Mid-2011 and sadly can not connect my iPhone because of older Bluetooth, I really do not see much I was expecting a lot more than just UI changes. I guess to get more you must always buy the latest iMac.
 
The one that they said would come out early next year?

It's not next year yet.

Thank you! ;)

You mean you knew about the bluetooth requirements for continuity/handoff, and you're still complaining about it?
 
I'm updated and everything seems to be running fine. My only issue is my iPhone won't connect over Bluetooth to my MacBook. It drops the connection every time. Otherwise it's doing well. Seems like a bit of a memory hog though.
