OS X Yosemite Hits the Mac App Store, Available Immediately as a Free Download

For me, that was a quick (have 150 MB down) download. On my 27" iMac, started at 4:32 here locally. By 4:40 it was ready to install.

I have a mid 2010 iMac with 4gig PB 6 and have no slowness issues. I use Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5, and those apps are a little slow, but thats expected LOL for my system specs.

Thanks for the quick reply! I have a mid 2010 MBP, and was just a little worried it would run a little slower. I don't use anything heavy so I should be good here :)
 
Can anyone who has installed the final version of Yosemite confirm the Build number?
 
If I am on the latest public beta, and download the installer for Yosemite through the App Store, will it wipe the partition I am on? TIA
 
here it comes

Downloading at reasonable speed (over my 100 Mbps -> 802.11n-connected Mac mini, I'm being told about 20 min left, after starting <5 min ago) here in east Tennessee ...
 
Delete blow plist file, if you have error on MacAppStore
/Library/Updates/ProductMetadata.plist
 
Looks like the only difference between GM 3 (14A388a) and App Store (14A389) might be the version of iTunes.

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?

But you have to consider that half of this "piddly market share" is hitting "cmd + R" 10 times a second.


As a comparison to that at Windows 8 launch the ginormus market share of them was more like:

Put the installer on a thumb drive. Save the bandwidth.

It is. Before installing, be sure to *move* the installer from your applications folder. Perhaps even copy it to your desktop or something. Then it won't get trashed when it is installed. (At least, I believe that's how it works.)

Mavericks and Mountain Lion both download their installers into your Applications folder - at least they did for me. I moved the installers to our file server to install on the five macs that I manage at out office without any problems.

Thank you so much. Will try :)
 
I've been on the public beta for a few months but now I want to do a clean install. But I don't have a USB drive to create a bootable drive. Can I install the installer (when it's done downloading...) in a partition in an external hard drive?
Can anyone comment?
Thanks
 
Shouldn't Feedback Assistant disappear whenever public testers make the jump to final? Or are we just stuck with that now?
