Anyone suffering updater's remorse?

[pingssgp]

Barring the huge problems I had with the disk getting changed to core storage logical volumes resulting in the inability to resize partitions other than by completely trashing the disk and re-installing Yosemite again, nope, not too many other problems.

Oh wait, I almost forgot the mess that iCloud bookmark sync made when it tried some sort of potpourri of my iPad and mac bookmarks with nested folders being duplicated and thrown all over the place. The solution? Disable iCloud and restore my bookmarks from time machine.

I'm surprised there are problems with such basic features.

Still, now that it's been sorted out, everything looks fine and the machine's running smooth and fast.

I 'm not talking about cosmetics, I'm talking about bugs that make you wish you'd waited until .1 or .2

TIA

Wi-Fi on my late 2013 MBP has a horrible lag. I'm considering returning to Mavericks until it's fixed.

no been very solid. Some problems I had with mavericks went away.

I am very mixed about the upgrade...I like it in terms of its new functionality but do not like it in terms of what it broke with my biggest gripe being VPN is once again broken which is critical to me as I use this on a daily basis...

I dont understand how s many basis issues did not get fixed before the final release...it seems to be very unpolished and rushed...

It will take time to get comfortable with theft look which to me seems regressive as I much prefer the 3D look...

Go into System Preferences->Network lane and use the ''Location" bar to ' Edit' and then the + button to create a custom named Location and save all the way out.

First time I'm actually not. Yosemite has been superb so far.

If I replied Friday night when I installed it, the first few hours...nope, no regrets.

After yesterday and last night. Yes, I regret it and I KNEW I should have waited a few more days to read of any potential issues!

My speedy Mac now feels like a 1997 Windows PC. 10.10 is such a RAM drainer. The fear of upgrading was "Will my Adobe programs work?" Well, they all do..just painfully slow. So much lag.

Other things like my Volume "pop/click" noise when I adjust that on my keyboard suddenly stopped working last night. Opening photos in Preview...waiting for the spinning rainbow wheel to stop before the photo renders and clears up.. boot time, used to be around 20-25 seconds. Now it's pushing 90, 100 seconds!

Looking forward to Phone calls and "Handoff."
Phone calls work, my BT is not compatible so Handoff will not work.

Was up tweaking some settings, reading some suggestions from this forum, other sites until 4am this morning then went to bed. MAYBE today will be better. I hope!

So I either somehow revert to Mavericks via time machine, reinstall (glad I saved that Install file)...and wait until Apple gets rid of the bugs in 10.10.1 .

Or wipe this computer out and clean install 10.10 and hope that helps.

Mid 2011 computer...is it THAT obsolete. I guess in technology terms.. the answer is "yes." I have it jacked up to 12GB of RAM, still have well over 700GB of space on this cpu. I shouldn't have these issues.

Eck, sorry I sound like a real grump..long night, little sleep, need more coffee...and I'm freezing my a** off right now, lol.

"1997 PC" is an extreme over exaggeration. But yes, I have bugs. Performance is not what I had hoped so far. Hoping within a week a system update is released resolving issues.

The only thing that "bugs" me is that Photoshop CC 2014 and 10.10 are having problems together. (Recording Actions it doesn't always record everything)

I stil have a Mavericks drive I can boot from if I need to so no big deal but other than that I have no regrets.

There are people reporting its solid performance, while many also had issues here and there asking for help. I think whether the outcome of upgrade is satisfying or not depends–at least partly-on the apps you use and other devices that connect with your mac. Many apps are going to be updated for 10.10 in the near future. Apple should also be patching up many glitches in installation, wifi, bluetooth, mail... Although not everyone is affected, it is kinds of hard to tell what is going to hit you. All in all, I suggest to wait for 10.10.1.

Strangely, although I've got a Hac Pro, it runs flawlessly.

Installation was a breeze, and it's super fast!

Core i7 overclocked to 4.5gHz, 16GB of Corsair RAM.

No bugs discovered as yet, and I've been running it for 8 hours.

Safari is staggeringly fast.

I have an '09 iMac and '09 MBP. I installed 10.10 on the MBP and the machine drags now. I have to reboot at least once a day to keep it chugging along otherwise it hangs doing routine stuff like finding a file with spotlight or opening new pages document.

I am very concerned about updating the iMac, but iCloud won't work between my macs until I do. So now I am forced to manually send my files back and forth when I want to switch machines.

When I have time I will back up the MBP and do a fresh install, but that will have to wait until the semester is over.

unless it takes almost 8gb of ram.

 

[KALLT]

Why did you not spot them and report them during the open beta period?

Why didn’t you?

shouldn't that read "didn't backup remorse?"

 

[KoolAid-Drink]

Nobody should have upgrader's remorse - unlike iOS, it's very easy to revert to previous versions of Mac OS X on a Mac. You can go far back as what the computer originally came with. For example, a MacBook Pro from Spring 2007 supports Yosemite, but originally came with Tiger, so you can downgrade back to Tiger if you really wanted to (and had the original installation DVD).

One of those days, I wouldn't mind buying a retro Mac with 10.0 installed, then install up to 10.5, just to see how far Mac OS X has came since 2001.

I was talking to two Apple reps today, I was looking at MacBook Pros..almost said (bleep) it and bought one, spur of the second expensive purchase..but ugh..too manyexpenses coming in the next few montsh, Bdays, holidays, d@mn tax bill. Came to my senses, I just have to wait until the new year. Plus I rather drive to Delaware, no sales tax. My state gets enough tax from me.

Anyway, I mentioned about how my iMac is not BT compatible, the 10.10 is sluggish, this and that... blah blah. They both stated "Nah, we never upgrade on the first day, always wait until the next update." - that "Public releases are like a mass beta release." Apple scrolls through the forums to seek user issues and bugs, then go from there.

Yeah it makes sense and kind of a no-brainer. I said to myself "Dont update yet..wait." I didn't listen to my gut, I was too excited for the new OS.

Again a lot of Photoshopping today, after 3 1/2, 4 hours. I had to give up. Navigating and selecting tools became almost impossible.

Almost thinking of downgrading to CS4..maybe CS3 in the meantime - in Photoshop only. It is less heavy on the machine.. I don't know Im at a loss. Just wait for the update. If that doesn't improve how this Mac runs, Ill downgrade back to Mavericks.

It's possible Photoshop wasn't updated yet for Yosemite, which could account for the problems you're having.

When you release a new OS to a few 10's of millions of users you will always hit edge-cases and issues that didn't come to light in testing. If Apple kept 10.10 as an internal release, the issue count would simply go up when 10.10.1 is released to the public...its the nature of the beast.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

It's possible Photoshop wasn't updated yet for Yosemite, which could account for the problems you're having.

I couldn't find anything about Adobe CS5 releasing an update for Yosemite, maybe they will and haven't mentioned it yet? I think most of their focus is on Adobe CC.

Doesn't matter right now, I went back to Mavericks this time last night. Actually my iMac feels like it's actually faster compared to this time last week, which I had Mavericks..right before I upgraded to Yosemite. Odd, but no complaints here.

 

[0387274]

Not at all. The only thing that bugs me is Launchpad. That thing looks horrid, but I think I'll survive.

 

[KUguardgrl13]

Not so far. Runs great on my late-2013 rMBP. I only wish u could try some of the new features, but I couldn't get BT to pair with my iPhone, and I don't really want to be bothered with messages or calls when I'm writing papers.

My 09 MBP is a bit questionable. It ran the public beta just fine on a separate partition, but it's been sluggish since I merged the partitions and updated. And then there was the process of actually merging the partitions. I could delete the bottom partition just fine in Disk Utility, but it wouldn't let me resize the main partition. I had to go into single user mode and enter a command prompt in order to go back into Disk Utility and resize the partition. Then it was sluggish downloading new movies from iTunes, but that may be my apt complex internet connection. But my only options are to go back to Mavericks which is about the same or Leopard which had a different set of issues.

 

[mkeeley]

Lasted about an hour here before going back to Mavericks. Bluetooth audio is massively out of sync in Yosemite, threads about it on Apple but no work arounds. Will look at it again down the line.

 

[Gav Mack]

I'm sitting patiently for my .1 upgrade cycle on my Mac systems I use.

But done quite a few Yosemite upgrades already and compared to the utter nightmare that iOS 8.0 was, almost cheetah-esque in reducing both my iPad and iPhone to infuriating things it seems pretty damned good for one of their zero OS X releases from what Ive found.

Only annoying thing for me is losing access to the recovery partition via the option key on boot cos I use that an awful lot.

 

[Partron22]

I've found Yosemite reasonably non-buggy for an X.x.0 release. Once I got the folders de-garished it's been pretty useable. Still trying to decide if I can get used to the System font.

 

[bigchief]

I'm happy as hell with 10.9 right now. Reading about bugs in 10.10 gives me a headache. Waiting a month or two is no problem for me.
