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

[ikir]

Mavericks introduced many clever performance efficiency techniques and very few gimmicks. Personally, I would consider Lion the worst release of OSX of all time.

It contained nothing useful, and instead we got clutter like social media integration, an intrusive notification centre, Launchpad (even more pointless than the already never used Dashboard) and a MAJOR decrease in performance.

Mountain Lion felt like a patch for Lions mistakes. Mavericks felt far more luxurious than either of the two and was very solid overall, in my personal experience.

Completely no sense: Lion introduced multitouch, iCloud, OpenGL core (it destroy Snow Leopard in 3D performance) and so many other things.
the problem users wants to whine... OS X is free, every update have new features and under the hood improvements, but if you read internet forums seems nothing works...

I'm working in a support center, never see a 10.9 to 10.10 Mac with wifi issue, as now the few problems i've seen were in router side. But naturally reading here it seems nobody with 10.10 can use wifi lol. Human race is lost.

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.

Thanks for the memories! It was so easy to forgive your Mac though when it had such a cute little picture of a bomb though wasn't it? Yes, the classic Mac OS had it's problems, that is for sure. We've been spoilt by OS X's stability over the years. I do side with those who say things seem to be getting a bit shakier though with these annual releases.

Aside from the incredibly frustrating wi-fi issues, and now the excessive fan noise I'm getting, the installer was also incredibly glitchy. I had one screen drawing over the top of the other, to the point that it was basically unusable. A restart fixed it, but overall my experience of Yosemite is that it's more like beta software than public release.

Funny how apple has more problems with their macs than i ever had with pc's. Which is extremely ironic.

 

[Jungo]

I just updated to 10.10.1 last week (beta) - and now again . - I guess my computers (MBPR and PRO) still think my os is public beta AND standard user - since I update to both - is this a big deal ? Can I turn off ether of the update paths ?

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

I agree...quality has gone down along with aesthetics...time to seriously consider Windows.

I wonder what they changed and why. I struggle to imagine what needed changing since it worked before. WiFi code is one of those things that you get right and then never touch it, except for drivers for new hardware.

I'm not upgrading from Mavericks until WiFi works. The only problem I have with Mavericks is spurious wake ups. Sometimes my iMac will wake from sleep for no reason. I can't figure out what causes it. Usually, if I immediately put it to sleep again it will stay asleep. Does Yosemite fix this problem?

I don't have any Wifi issues on my MacBook pro, everything runs perfectly

 

[mdlooker]

It's pretty bad when a company releases and update and everyone is scared to update fearing their product is going to be worse than it already is. I'm scared and I'm not updating a thing. iPad2, Apple TV and surely not my rMBP.

 

[samcraig]

I keep snoozing the update "beg."

Wifi working intermittently doesn't entice me to update. Just like my Nexus 7 isn't going to be updates to Android L until they work out the media playback issue.

Upgrades, as we know should not be downgrades in functionality.

I'm just in the progress of updating my rMBP. Going from 10.9.2 to 10.10.1. Taken a snapshot just in-case I want to go back.

I appreciate the reports of problems but just don't see why this is hyped. Plenty of Windows based machines struggle with this from being taken out of the box. Then you have to search for a driver that works perfectly with certain Routers/APs. These next get resolved because their user based won't complain directly back to the manufacturer and their support is normally pants.

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 guess I am just lucky. No wi-fi issues, no graphical glitches (2011 mbpro with amd graphics), nothing. Note to self, don't buy the latest apple hardware outside of phones/tablets.

I noticed that streaming audio from itunes to my airport express would result in the device not being found in 10.10, works much better in 10.10.1

'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.

Some, is a weasel word in this context; most real headline writers in the old day would not write such headlines in a quasi continuous manner. But, these days... Clickbait needs to be fed. I"m not just talking about Apple headlines too, it is abused everywhere.

BTW, hyperbolic crap like this exists online like these since the Web exists (in newsgroups in the 1980s), so spare me the nonsense. I'm mostly annoyed by the excess ridiculous over the top idiocy on all subjects everywhere on the net. The need to resort to constant button pushing to get people to read news.

I am still on 10.9.5. I will wait. Same for iOS 8

MacRumors isn't necessarily a pro-Apple community. It's about evenly split between people that come here because they like Apple products and people that dislike Apple but can't seem to stop buying Apple products.

I guess I am just lucky. No wi-fi issues, no graphical glitches (2011 mbpro with amd graphics), nothing. Note to self, don't buy the latest apple hardware outside of phones/tablets.

You're not lucky, your experience is almost certainly normal. Far more people feel motivated to post online when they have issues compared to when things are working well. That's not to discredit the amount of people that have had a legitimate issue with that MBP model, but the vast majority of Apple products have no such issues.

I have no problem with the wifi anymore on my late 2013 iMac 27". But my magic mouse has been loosing connection a few times per day since I upgraded to Yosemite.

The weird thing is that my late 2012 mac mini works flawless with the magic mouse, no lost connection ever.

Anyone else having problems with this on your iMac?

 

[iolinux333]

I agree...quality has gone down along with aesthetics...time to seriously consider Windows.

Maybe Surface Pro deserves a look. I've been waiting years for a retina MBA, but maybe Surface Pro with Win10 needs consideration now. I've never felt that way before. I couldn't have imagined last year this time thinking that I'd be looking Windows laptops and Android phones lol!!-

I don't have an iMac, but I have the issues you describe on my late 2012 Mac Mini. The disconnects have gotten so bad that I switched to a wired mouse (which for some reason is unable to 'wake up' the computer).

 

[Windlasher]

Maybe it really is their Wi-Fi.

I agree. My issues cleared up immediately.

This is my problem as well with my 2012 MBPr.

"Damn this Yosemite piece of garbage!!! I swear I am so annoyed with Apple these days!!! The quality has gone to the dogs ever since...
Oh my router was unplugged"

Reminds me of a time years ago I had a sales rep in Florida call in many, many, times screaming and swearing at my techs because he couldn't get dialed in from home. He even escalated to the president of the company.

We all got b****ed out because we couldn't solve the problem so I got on a plane a flew to Florida. Turns out he was plugged into his daughters line which had long distance restricted.
