- asaf000 12y agoSame in Israel.

- ricardolopes 12y agoReally? I'm in Belgium and with a Portuguese account, a combination that usually doesn't get me too far, and it's downloading right now.
- gabovanlugo 12y agoI'm from Mexico City. I thought that it was just that my Apple Id was only attached to the Mexican store, so I didn't had access. So, I was struggling for around an hour to change for my Apple Id to be one from the US and then I realize that the problem is the same regardless of the country. I lost my time and my previous purchases. FAIL.
- ceejayoz 12y agoWell, that was a) dumb and b) likely something Apple support can fix if you're unable to just switch back.
- LERobot 12y agoSame in Canada
- alwillis 12y agoIt's probably a CDN thing… the files have to propagate, which I'm guessing is happening as quickly as possible.
- ossreality 12y agolol, cute
- Watabou 12y agoI remember just how buggy Yosemite was when DP 1 was released. But it's come a long way, the third GM candidate for Yosemite is really stable, maybe one of the most stable OS X .0 release. It even has less lag for animations like for Mission Control for retina displays so maybe they finally figured out how to handle a Retina display. The one thing I'm not a fan of is the horrible, and absolutely terrible animation to take windows fullscreen. It takes a proper 2 seconds for a window to go full screen. I just can't see the reason behind this. At least provide an option to disable this animation or provide a terminal command to speed it up like the mission control animations. Handoff is one feature I use more than I thought I would. It still feels like a novelty but I'm glad it's there. I use it most to continue my emails on my Mac from the iPhone. Airdrop on both iOS and the Mac is simply amazing. Now I don't have to wait for Photostream to sync between the two devices. And the little things like Javascript for automation, built in actions for batch renaming and encoding media files inside the right click contextual menu, the dark mode all add up. I'm also looking forward to Siracusa's multi-page review about Yosemite. He hasn't been a fan of transparency, so it will be interesting to hear his thoughts on it. I'm not a fan of it either but I like the transparency used in Yosemite. It's not as distracting and the dark theme really helps with that.
- jdswain 12y agoMountain Lion was crashing on my Retina MacBook Pro about every day, since I upgraded to Yosemite it hasn't crashed once. Only a single data point, but it appears to be a really stable release now. I still have the impression that the GPU is struggling with the retina display though, I was just using a 4 year old MacBook Air and the display animations were smoother on it than on my rMBP. I do have it scaled up to the max resolution though, I think that makes the performance worse as the scaling is more complex.
- Watabou 12y agoI have it set to the max too. It still stutters here and there, but definitely not as much as Mavericks did.
- 12y ago
- therockhead 12y agoThey still have serious issues to fix. For example try this sample app from Apple https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/LayerBackedOpenGLView/Introduction/Intro.html https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/LayerBack.... 10.10 uses 4 times the CPU compared to 10.9.
- rnovak 12y agoI know there's literally no hope for it, but I really do wish they could look past their differences and enable air-drop between android and iOS.
- ics 12y agoCan you even use AirDrop between iOS and OS X yet?
- alexgaribay 12y agoYes you can with both iOS 8 and Yosemite. It works quite well.
- wyager 12y agoThis would require AirDrop to be an open standard. I would be very happy if Apple started opening their standards. AirDrop, iMessage, Facetime, etc. would be much more useful as cross-platform standards.
- mathieuh 12y agoI might be talking out my arse here but wasn't FaceTime initially touted as being released with a view to heading towards being an open standard?
- jws 12y agoSteve Jobs stated that in a Keynote, but it wasn't planned. He just sort of decided on the spur of the moment (or so I hear). As it turned out FaceTime infringed patents Apple did not control and it all turned into a mess. I'd love to hear what happened at the first FaceTime meeting after the announcement.
- wyager 12y agoYes, which is one of the reasons it sucks that Apple isn't doing it.
- autism_hurts 12y agoI joined the beta at "2" and it's been incredibly stable on both of my Macbook Air's. Excited for the final refined release.
- kristofferR 12y agoIt's very stable for me too, but it still has some really weird bugs. For example - here's how the "iMac with Retina" page displays for me in Safari: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3ajXezmKDo#t=12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3ajXezmKDo#t=12

- szerated 12y agoIf I upgrade, should I expect some of my dev tools to break? Homebrew stuff or eclipse etc... I bought this mac with mavericks so I don't know what to expect. What about iTerm and my bash/zsh configs?
- yurisagalov 12y agoShort answer is yes. Pretty much every upgrade breaks everything that depends on XCode Command Line Utilities because xcode and the command line utils get uninstalled :\
- ImprovedSilence 12y agoWait, so I need to reinstall XCode after an upgrade?
- astrange 12y agoYou don't need to reinstall the command line tools as long as Xcode is on the disk. It'll just redirect to them.
- jkbr 12y agoI can confirm that Homebrew and iTerm work fine. Your shell configs should be fine as well (unless you've made changes to /etc/bashrc, which gets overwritten).
- mitchty 12y agoAs I was using the beta I just rsynced my 10.9 homebrew install. Never had any issues with that strategy.
- selectout 12y agoFrom my experience everything with eclipse and iTerm work well. Don't have too much custom configs going on though.
- ics 12y agoUltimately, you're going to have to search the announcements/issues for any projects that are really important. The good news is that because Yosemite has been available as an open beta many bits of software have been patched to work with it as technical and non-technical people have been reporting bugs. brew list | xargs brew home
- erichuppert 12y agoAs I have no experience with OS X upgrades, does anyone have advice about upgrading versus doing a clean install? Its a rMBP 13 from late 2013
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- k-mcgrady 12y agoUpgrade. I've only ever done a fresh install of OS X once whereas on Windows upgrade was for crazy people. I actually upgraded last year from the first beta to the official release and there were zero issues. As always, backup first.
- Audiophilip 12y agoI experienced no problems with earlier major OS X updates on my MBP, so personally I'd go down the update route. Nevertheless, it's a good idea to have Time Machine backups at hand.
- teamhappy 12y agoUpgrading works surprisingly good. I never ran into any issues if I recall correctly. For me however, this one is going to be a clean install. I do them every 2-3 releases.
- Tehnix 12y agoDepends on which category you fit into. You use dev tools and stuff like homebrew/macports a lot: fresh install is a lot nicer. You don't use the above that much: Upgrade is fine. As for the packages, I had a lot of different packages that were built for Mavericks, and needed updating, and would constantly bump into something new that needed something reinstalled etc. Various reasons for this, like Apple moving around system utilities and upgrading various things. EDIT: Just to be clear, all is solvable with the upgrade. It's just a bit cleaner with a, well, clean install ;)
- mitchty 12y agoI personally always go for a fresh install. I just rysnc my home dir away and copy it back. The rest is mostly setup in ansible land now so I don't really lose much by installing fresh.
- glhaynes 12y agoI've come to prefer the look of it compared to Mavericks on my non-retina desktop display, but only slightly; and when I switch back to Mavericks there are things that are nicer about it. But on my retina MacBook display, wow, there's just no comparison: Yosemite looks so good. Beautiful. As far as features: I've been wishing for the Continuity and Handoff stuff for years. When my computer's running Mavericks it now feels isolated, like a mini version of how it feels to use a computer that's not connected to the Internet. If you're not also invested in iPhones and iPads, that won't be the case, of course.
- mahadazad 12y agoWhen will it be available? It is saying Item is not available
- vpontis 12y agoUsually they do a rolling release over the course of the day. So it will probably be available by the afternoon and definitely be the evening (west-coast time).
- kethinov 12y agoFor those of you who were a fan of customizing the colors of message bubbles in Messages.app and don't like that Apple removed this ability as part of the iOSification of Yosemite, there's an app for that: https://github.com/kethinov/BubblePainter https://github.com/kethinov/BubblePainter I made this during the developer previews because I don't like the default puke green for most of my IM conversations. Hope this helps some people. Source code also available.
- BWStearns 12y agoWicked psyched about the in-window search for terminal. Finally. I like having terminal full screen but it screws up the popup box search.
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- adultSwim 12y agoI'm disappointed how much emphasis we hear about the interface. I don't think design is a substitute for engineering. Even the new features seemed to be focused on iOS.
- synthpaxel 12y agoI installed the developer betas - I'm updated to the most recent. Is the release today different and more stable, and is there a way I can switch to today's release?

- pkrs 12y agoContinuity/Handoff requires Bluetooth LE, so a bunch of older devices would not support it. Chart here: http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/17/yosemite-handoff-bluetooth-le/ http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/17/yosemite-handoff-bluetoo...
- nilawafer 12y agoI have Yosemite GM-3 installed, and when I go to the app store, it says "You already have Yosemite installed".
- nilawafer 12y agoI have Yosemite GM-3 installed... when I go to the app store, it says "You already have Yosemite installed" - Should I care or try to reinstall from the "final" installer? Also, my biggest frustration has been the workflow change of the "maximize" button to it's new role as full-screen button. I wish there was at least a config option to switch it back. I'm fine with adding it as an option, but completely breaking the workflow seems unnecessary IMHO. I guess that's why I use "Spectacles" app for window placement keyboard shortcuts.
- alexgaribay 12y agoHolding the Option button reveals the old functionality instead of fullscreen when hovering over window controls.
- aareet 12y agoHas anyone run through an upgrade from Mavericks with FileVault enabled? What was your experience? Any trouble?
- Selfcommit 12y agoIt makes me sad that with all these wonderful changes, Apple still can manage something as basic as differentiating scroll behavior on a mouse from behavior on a touchpad...
- arrowgunz 12y agoIn case you haven't got the upgrade yet, here's the direct link: https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=915041082&mt=12 https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftw...
- SystemOut 12y agoIf you have homebrew, node/npm, etc. installed that puts files in /usr/local make sure you reserve hours (yes hours) for the install to complete. It will sit at "Less than a minute remaining" for potentially hours if you have a lot of files in /usr/local since it has to copy it all back apparently. Hitting cmd-L will show you the install log which shows you that it is actually still doing something while it sits there for a long time with no apparent change.
- todd8 12y agoIt looks like its going to take all night stuck at "3 minutes remaining" because my MacTeX install of TeXlive has over 135,000 files and is somewhere close to 4GB. It would have been much faster to blow away all of my homebrew installs, emacs, qt, and especially TeX and reinstall after the upgrade. I does eventually finish. I'm typing this on my desktop running Yosemite, which took a long long time because of /usr/local, but my laptop is still working on the install. I believe it's been eight hours! (And both have SSD's)
- tzs 12y agoOr do something like this: $ mkdir ~/local $ sudo mv /usr/local/* ~/local (install Yosemite) $ sudo mv ~/local/* /usr/local Yosemite has nothing in /usr/local, so you don't have to worry that you'll stomp on anything it installs when you move your /usr/local stuff back. That worked fine for me. Only a few minutes at "Less than a minute" (unlike 2 hours on the previous attempt, before I knew about this problem and so gave up and restored from Time Machine).
- mark_l_watson 12y agoThis is a little off topic, but I am still unhappy that Apple does not have a simple Android app that would allow me to play the iTunes music I have purchased on all of my devices. I manually keep iTunes music in sync with Amazon cloud which is a nuisance. If Apple does not provide a solution soon, I am canceling my $25/year iTunes Match service and just use Amazon music cloud since they have players for all platforms. On topic: I have been using Yosemite since the first beta, and it is a nice upgrade. I use a 3 year old MacBook Air, and on a non-retina display everything still looks good. Unlike other commenters, I like the Spotlight changes. I also like the better intro with iOS 8 devices.
- yetkin 12y agoHorrible fonts and colors just as iphone has... :(
