I think Mavericks used it too.

I think it should also do this automatically. I would prefer AFP when connecting to my server that uses AFP, so it should check what kind its connecting to. Or at least have an option in finder to try AFP first then SMB if it fails.

SMB2 was the default protocol for Mavericks, but if you didn't specify it would always pick afp.

I restored my Macbook back to Mavericks via Time Machine, because of all the Yosemite bugs :D
But I would definitely upgrade when the final version comes out

Why did you not make your dock icons line up? :confused::mad: ;)

Who does use System Preferences to turn wifi on/off? That's just crazy.

I agree that CC wouldn't work on OS X. To me there is just no need for it, as it would duplicate a lot of the controls in the menu bar.

I believe the menu bar is basically a control center. You can do practically everything in the beautifully written list above from the menu bar.
 
I have a quick question, forgive me if its already been asked. I'm considering installing the Yosemite beta on my MacBook Pro but I was wondering how the updates work for a beta since I am not a developer. Will the future developer releases of Yosemite show up for me in Software Update or will I have to find the latest release and install it again?

This was the case in 10.9 i.e. it was via software update. Prior to that it was downloads.
 
Couple of things.

1. The airdrop in finder includes a setting to enable airdrop for older macs.
2. I have two macs running 10.10. As soon as I add additional accounts on 1 (eg. twitter). Bang, I get a notification and its automatically added on the other. I don't know if this existed previously.
 
Unable to set smb/afp as preferred network protocol.

Updated through post #653,
- Connecting to a server: When you enter just an ip/hostname, it automatically choses smb instead of afp.

Okay, so Safari's search is pretty impressive. It'll search a TON of things for you on it's own. Like googling "wordpress widget" searches codex.wordpress.com using word press's search engine. Same with php.net.

wordpress ____-> codex.wordpress.com
php _____ -> php.net
apple _____ -> apple.com
google _____ -> google.com
adobe ______ -> forums.adobe.com
wikipedia _____ -> wikipedia.com
youtube ______ -> youtube.com

I don't know how many more, or any good way to tell without trying to search everything I think of.

Not the same thing, that's for connecting to the user's home directory.

I think the second one is already on Mavericks. But I wouldn't know I don't have multiple Macs. As for the first one its been added to the list.

Yosemite blew away my VPN information I had set up. grrrrr... Now I have to go back to the admins at work to reset it all up.

If I was an admin at your work, i'd be pissed you installed an early developer preview.

It's on my personal computer. I know it's hard to believe but sometimes I do work from my personal computer in my free time. Now the work computer I would never install a new OS until I got approval first. LOL DUH!

Normally you get updates via the AppStore, but sometimes you might need to put a redemption code in order to install a newer version.

yeah, but you're wasting their time by having them set it up again.

Oh well. They can be mad. Nothing I can do about personal problems. More importantly, when other people want theirs set up they will be ready for it and have instructions prepared. Admins should know it's easier to send out instructions for people to help themselves than to manually do it every time.

All the default apps that have new icons:

Mail now says "Hello from California" instead of "Hello from Cupertino, CA"
 
lol at that Game Center icon. It's as if Apple is doing as much as it can to make people not want to use it (as if it was of any use to anyone anyway - the few people who actually care about rankings would notice that the ranking board is full of hacked score)
 
I'm curious as to why apple made the button highlighter dark blue on the right side of the menu bar (but not the menus) as opposed to light blue on the left. Is there a some sort of reason for this?

When checking that I accidentally noticed that when you hold "command" you can actually rearrange the menu bar icons or drag them out. Was it possible in Mavericks?

In either case, that's a neat little feature.

EDIT: Apparently that's old news :D
still handy for those who might not know it.
