Some OS X Yosemite Users Still Experiencing Wi-Fi Connection Issues Even After 10.10.1 Update

ValSalva said:
Apple's best and brightest must be working on 10.11 already :rolleyes: We need a Snow Leopard type of release for next year. Yearly OS updates are gradually lowering the quality of OS X.

"gradually"? I think the slope is pretty steep.....especially given the fact that Yosemite was the first OS X version in a long time to have a large public beta period. It should have been released with very few issues given the amount of outside testing performed.
 
This update changed my wallpaper to original ones. Guess i have to check all my settings just to make sure this update hasn't changed anything else...
 
Apple Can't Even do Updates Right@

Jesus Apple! Updated my iPhone and now it's kind of stuck in an Update loop. I mean the phone itself seems to be updated but now in iTunes it just keeps prompting me to update and it keeps locking my phone and prompting me to unlock before it updates for the 10th time. What a GD mess.

Tim Cook really should resign. iOS problems, Yosemite problems, screen issues on new iPhone, creaky cases on rMPB. This company is falling apart. The last two apple products I bought had to be replaced multiple times.

I'm definitely not upgrading to Yosemite any time soon. Maybe 10.10.2?

Why resign ? Apple sells like never before and you're still in Apple fan forums despite your faulty products. Believe me, other CEOs only wish they had such first world problems.
 
I did a clean install of Yosemite on my 2011 MBP, and that has finally fixed my wi-fi problems. :) But now I have excessive and noisy fan activity, even when the Mac is doing very little. :(
 
Another "some" in a headline.... How original. They should call it the clickbait word... So, how many are those some... Are these the say "some" (also called a handful... (sic)) that had those supposedly bending phones?

An example:

Some iThingamajig still fail to whoozy after Apple's YoYoMa update ;-.
 
I feel like I'm the only one on Mavericks having issues with WiFi. Apple has been going downhill from Mavericks. This is the buggiest Mac OS I have used so far. I'm still having issues with waking from sleep with my Thunderbolt Display. On the iOS side I get random screen dimming (not auto brightness) and refreshing Safari tabs.
 
Buggiest release of Mac os x and iOS I have ever seen. And apple hasn't fixed blatant bugs that have been reported since the first beta. I'm not sure apple intends to fix these things. They're acting like Microsoft from the 80s. More worried about adding new function than fixing broken things. I don't like it.
 
I still have WIFI-issues, too (after waking up wifi is just disabled...)
 
sick of it

I am really sick of Apples move in releasing crappy software every year instead of refining software. I am a really big fan of Apple, but imho, they just make your device slower every single year when the "convince" yout to update your OS.
I will stay with Mavericks, I think it is a great OS and Yosemite is just bloated and slow.

Somehow I think that Apple wants us to buy new devices every year.
 
Nothing new here

Apple and wi-fi issues go together like peas and carrots. EVERY Apple product I have owned going back to my iPhone 4, and including an original iPad, An iMac, and several MacBooks have all had wi-fi issues with the "must be your router" answer. I have bought at least 5 routers, even though I had a Gen. 2 Time Capsule also, and none of them solved the issues. The really amazing thing is NONE of the other 25 wireless connected products in my home had these wi-fi issues, only to be met with, "Apple follows the standards to a T" response, not their fault others don't. My solution was to get a Galaxy Note 2 and build a PC Tower with Windows 7 Professional. I still have my seven Macs in the house and will use them as long as I can, but my early 2011 MacBook Pro is having the graphics issue common to them and any future Apple purchase on my part depends on what Apple does in response to that situation.
 
Same deal, WiFi problems, Safari Crawls

Using early 2011 MBP, w/ 16G upgraded memory, SSD, Airport Extreme - all up to date (unfortunately).

Safari just barely crawls into usable mode, switching between sites is agony. Chrome is quite a bit faster at this point, but I prefer Safari, so Apple has got to fix Yosemite.

'Some' is a perfectly good word (given the lack of reliable statistical data), and tells users who aren't having problems that they don't need to post to the thread just to inform us all that their system is working okay. But some people will do it anyway. And some will defend Apple, and say that the problem isn't really that big, and that we probably caused it ourselves anyway. And some others will find nothing useful to say other than to nitpick over word choice in the title.
 
Yosemite...yuck..:confused:
The worst version of OSX in recent years.
after fresh installing Yosemite with much enthusiasm..I re-installed Mavricks on my 2014 rMBP.
Mavricks is more reliable,much faster,much much better looking.and doesn't eat and waste
​
too much Ram like Yosemite.

My rMBP retina is on 10.10.1.
But my main machine that I use only for my work is still on 10.6.8. And it will remain like that for as long as possible (web development).

Apple has failed since Snow Leopard, Lion was a disaster, ML was improvement, as was Mavericks, but still not even near Snow Leopard. Of course, SL wasn't always that good, but they took their sweet time and polished it over time with excellent updates.

Now this year cycle doesn't give them a chance to do so as well. Shame, since I really love OSX. But if they continue on with this route, I wouldn't mind migrating to Linux again. At least for my work computer.

Same here, oddly enough though I had wifi connectivity issues with my main machine, running Snow Leopard last week, connection dropped at random and would only come up with a restart or constantly turning Wifi on and off. Things were ok in the provider side and the following day, connectivity issues miraculously disappeared and things are back to normal. very, very strange.
 
iOS 8 and Yosemite to me seem like those early access release games on Steam like DayZ, Rust, etc...

How Apple releases such buggy software is beyond me...
 
I may be in the minority, but I actually have less Wi-Fi issues since the Yosemite update. I had very aggravating issues over the last two years with my Macbook Air, but they seem to be solved now.

How long have you been an Apple user? Problems with products are hardly a new thing.

All of this "anti" talk from a pro-Apple community makes me think that Microsoft has got themselvew shined up to the point where Apple's flaws are suddenly serious. Apple isn't the underdog anymore. A "creaky" MBP? There was a time when the OS wouldn't go a a day without a sudden hard reboot with a picture of a bomb - and there was no Time Machine then either.

Wasn't Mavericks already the "Snow Leopard type" of release?

Most of it's features were refinements.

Since the Leopard days, I and my users have always prayed that the next version of OS X will fix 'x' or Apple will just decide that something we use everyday is deprecated.

They had Spotlight right in Tiger and it took them until Yosemite to "fix" it.

There are Microsoft product users in the trees!

Maybe it really is their Wi-Fi.

Probably is. Once I upgraded to an Airport Extreme from a crappy Linksys router my wi-fi improved dramatically.

No, that just can't be it! It's either Apple's hardware or software to blame. Other options simply don't exist.

Troubleshooting 101: What changed between wi-fi working flawlessly, and wi-fi barely working at all? Router hardware? Nope. Computer hardware? Nope. Operating system? Bingo.

Just the flat look alone is making me skip 10.10.
I have no need for the new features and certainly no need for potential WiFi issues.

See ya, maybe, in 10.11 ;)
