OS X Yosemite (10.10) Bug Thread

safari extensions

Every time I reboot my mac, all Safari Extensions get disabled. Is anyone else having this issue?

 

[Milltek]

Hey guys I'm a newbie here. I have made a separate thread about this but I noticed this thread that discusses bugs so I decided to post here as well. I have the Public Beta 2 for Yosemite on my Late 2011 MBP. There is this bug that is really annoying and no one else seemed to have mentioned in in previous threads.

Every time I boot my Macbook Pro, the login screen appears with a white background. Everyone else seems to have their actual wallpaper blurred in the log in screen which is how it's suppose to be. Mine is just a white screen with the log in info. So after it logs in and loads 100% then thats when my wallpaper comes in again. The picture attached shows what it looks like all the way until it loads 100%.

Is there any way to like reset the log in settings files or something? It's not something major but just very annoying. I already submitted a report to Apple.

Mine does this as well. It's a mid 2010 27" iMac.

Safari is super unstable for me (i.e. open it and it crashes within a minute). Is this true for anyone else?

Yeah same for me. Safari is overall very unstable regardless of what I do.

I want to switch over to Safari instead of Chrome but can't for now.

This must be a bug with older dev betas and the public betas because I had this issue up until about beta 4 or 5 for Yosemite. Since upgrading to at least developer preview 5 I've had no issues with my wallpaper on the login screen.

Hi all,

Has anyone experienced this or able to help?

I was on holiday when DP 7 was released and although I had occasional internet I didn't want to update then. But at some point during my holiday my MacBook air (running DP6) froze up so I restarted by holding the power button. After it started up again, my dock had been returned to default, including '?' icons for Pages, Numbers and Keynote, which I don't own.

Now I'm trying to upgrade to DP 7 but the App Store doesn't respond to clicking the Update buttons. I've tried signing out of the store, restarting, various things, but it doesn't do anything.

Any tips?

Cheers

You could try forcing the updates via terminal. I personally had to install DP2 that way as it would continually attempt to install through the App Store but upon reboot, nothing had changed.

sudo softwareupdate -ia

Thanks for reply, I managed to find the solution before seeing your post though

For anyone interested: it was because I didn't have enough disk space left. I started to go through the process of reinstalling OS X but it told me I didn't have enough space to continue. After clearing some space I figured I'd try the App Store update again and then it worked. I'm assuming the downloading, unpacking and installing for the OS X reinstall uses a similar amount of disk space to the App Store Yosemite update which is why both were prevented.

I will raise this as a bug with the App Store. It ought to pop up a message simply explaining this rather than not respond.

boot up has been a bit slow on the latest DP for me. It stays on a black screen for 10+ seconds before the apple logo appears and it eventually starts booting. Not sure if it relates to having FileVault enabled.

also another OCD issue related to the menu bar. every once in a while theres a blank space in the middle of the icons randomly appearing. when i switch between spaces it goes back to normal. anyone else?

It's interesting. I tried with the Italian localisation in Public Beta 2 and maybe that's where the bug is - or they simply fixed it. Tonight I'll test with English localisation.

Did you find anything?

On PB2 I'm still having issues with the "bird" process taking up >100% CPU (seemingly at random) and causing my machine's fans to work like there's no tomorrow.

What is the "bird" process?

This happened for everyone in PB7. It looks like they moved the login to the start of the boot process. Possibly for security reasons.

… a white screen with the log in info. …

Not a bug, that's normal when the OS X startup volume is protected with FileVault 2.

The screen in your first photograph –

– is what appears before the startup volume is unlocked.

Technically

It's sometimes known as EfiLoginUI. What's on screen at that stage is provided by the Apple_Boot slice (partition) – the same slice that's used for Recovery OS.

Don’t really know, it shows up in Activity Monitor. Have seen other posts about it though.

Anyone have an issue where the finder does not keep the column widths of any folder?

Hi All,

I just posted this feedback to Apple;

Hi,

The machine is a late 2010 27” iMac. I have a 1 Tb Seagate disk connected using firewire. On Mavericks i used the disk consistently for Time Machine. Occasionally it would self-eject when the Mac was asleep and I would have to unplug it and re-plug it when I started the machine. (I always received the alert notifications that the disk had been improperly removed from Mavs). After I installed Yosemite Public Beta 1 that pretty much stopped. I also stopped using it for TM as I didn’t want to risk that data that was on it. The I installed PB2, Things were fine until I ran one backup using Time Machine to the disk. Ever since then it has done the self-eject (with notifications) a lot. Sometimes in one “sleep” period I will get three sets of notifications and I also have to unplug and replug the disk to get it to power up properly again.


Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have any idea why it would suddenly just start happening after I run a single TM backup?

Did anyone else notice that the enable handoff selection has been removed from the General settings option page?

If you highlight search handoff it still directs you there, but the option has been removed.

Not really a bug so much as a gripe. When "Dark Mode" is enabled, if you go to Help in the menu bar, the rounded corners in the Search field have white pixels...perhaps this does not happen with Retina displays, but I'm running a 2011 MBA.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about

Literally got this problem today. First time I've seen it and I've had Yosemite since day 1. Also, I've suddenly got an error where Mail saps all my system memory. According to Activity Monitor, Mail is using 63GB of memory. On a MacBook with 8GB of RAM.

Also worth noting, a restart does not return the icons back to normal. They stay grey and square. No new app installs in the last few weeks so I've no idea where this has come from.

I just got this exact problem and probably exact 63GB. Did you find a solution? I am on DP8.

Not seeing that on an rMBP. Which Yosimite revision are you running?

EDIT: Just realized I have Yosemite on a 2011 Air. Yup, same thing.

Same here. Filed a report on this.

Another bug: Handoff with multiple devices works inconsistently.
If two devices run Safari, the first one advertising is being shown in the Dock, but the Handoff-Data is actually from the ladder device.

I turned off the setting in the main iCloud options, basically the entire option.

I'm now on DP6, so the iCloud option for Data & Documents changed to iCloud Drive. For me, it's working fine using DP6.

That helps, thank you!
