OS X Yosemite (10.10) Bug Thread

[fisherking]

my only consistent issues (last 2 betas):

iphone will NOT show up over wifi in itunes. have reset things, tried to reconnect...nada.

also, notification center usually opens with the icon greyed out and/or with
'do not disturb' on (i have it set to NEVER turn on).

but (knock on wood) everything else is ROCKING...

Wow. The Dock contextual menu bug is still present in Public Beta 6 and Mail still opens its main window on login while it's set to hide in Login Items. Damn it.

And as you can see the Dock suddenly looses its translucency when making a screen shot with cmd + shift + 4.

Since updating to Yosemite scrolling in Preview.app becomes very choppy both in window and fullscreen mode. Anyone has the same issue? Wonder if this is an Yosemite bug or it's just my Mac

When in dark mode, many icons on the status bar stay black, so at the moment dark mode is unusable. I also notice that my MacBook Pro now disconnects quite often from 5GHz and backs down to 2.4GHz.

Has ever happened to you ? I am running Yosemite Beta 5 Macbook Pro 15 Late 2014 2,5 GHz

It happened twice today. rmbp 2012...

Selection of default dialog box button is missing

In the previous versions of OSX, dialog boxes had a dotted line around the default button. The button that gets pressed when you hit the Spacebar.

In Yosemite that dotted line is missing, but the default button is still there. You can still press it with the Spacebar, but it doesn't tell you ahead of time which one you're going to be pressing.

In the image below (Sublime Text 2 editor), the "Don't Save" button gets pressed with spacebar, but the new interface doesn't let you know that.

Menu bar is all glitchy at the top right hand corner:

After installing Yosemite my mac mini late 2012 freezes up when waking from sleep. I can move the cursor around but I can't click on anything or use any keyboard shortcuts!

When trying to resize images in Review, Preview just crashes.

Stuck on loading screen

I experienced a glitch just trying to boot Yosemite... The loading bar loaded half way and just stopped. I let it go for maybe 15 min and it never loaded. I reset the SMC and PRAM, then decided to try and boot from the recovery partition (holding CMD+R) re-downloaded 10.10 and reinstalled. On it's final boot, it got to loading half way and once again it froze. This is on a retina MBP 13.3in with 3Ghz i7 and 8GB RAM.

reedmo: try to start in safe mode. Then verbose mode. Since the OS is released you might get more focused attention by posting relevant details to a separate topic.

I have a 2009 MBP 12.3 in with 2.7gh i7 and 8Gb RAM, and a smiliar thing was happening to my computer.

I installed Yosemite and everything was working well. Maybe a little slow, but that's understandable because it was updating all the apps, rebuilding my Mail database, iTunes database, etc.

Well I left the computer running overnight, and in the morning I logged in, but I was stuck on that loading bar, too. I waited for 30 minutes, and finally forced it to turn off and restart. It happened again, and I repeat the restart about 3x.

I finally reset the PRAM, and I got into the computer. Though it was still super slow.

Hours later, I go back to my computer to wake it up from Screen Saver, and I'm stuck at the load bar again. Reset PRAM again and now I'm back on...

But seriously. I'm having regrets about upgrading my older machine.

I have a similar problem. Time freezes, none of the menu works.
(The menu do appear, but I cannot highlight anything)

They still haven't fixed the bug where your widgets in Notification Centre lose their order? The calculator widget keeps getting sent back to the top every god damn time.

I reported this in one of the earliest public betas. Come on.

Safari toolbar icon placement also keeps getting reset.

I've been getting recurring WiFi connectivity issues. I'll connect up and everything will be fine for maybe 10-20 mins, but then the connectivity gets very on/off. Not moving around at all and very close to router. The connection doesn't appear to drop in the WiFi icon at the top right, but running ping tests (just to the router, not a web address, so it's definitely between my mac and the router) shows very intermittent connection, as shown below.

Edit: I use a late 2013 rMBP 13-inch, 2.6GHz i5, 8GB RAM.

Whatever made Apple think that adding inertia to the scroll gesture for Zoom (in Accessibility) was a good idea?
Sometimes getting to final zoom now takes SECONDS from the time I lift my finger from the Magic Mouse.
That's really, really, really, annoying!

Let's see, where do I start? Notification (in the upper right-hand corner) doesn't work; Dashboard is absent; when I plug my iPhone into my computer to synch, iPhoto opens, rather than iTunes; Launchpad spontaneously opens, unprompted.

for iPhoto bug…

did you try opening Image Capture while iPhone is plugged in, selecting it, and changing the "Open with" drop down menu to "nothing"?

 

[RThom]

The option "Open with" does not exist in the drop-down menu on Image Capture (at least on my app) ...

After installing Yosemite my mac mini late 2012 freezes up when waking from sleep. I can move the cursor around but I can't click on anything or use any keyboard shortcuts!

I have the same issue, different Mac. My MBP is one year older. A short sleep, works normal. A long sleep, wakes up. Can move the mouse. But the rest froze on me. Happened multiple times.

Is there a fix for it?

 

[Thoir]

My bugs, so far:

- Scrolling is not as smooth as it was before. Feels like moving a heavy brick. I changed the settings, but it is not the same.
- Mouse movement has totally changed. I can't get the settings right how it was. I feel a strain in the wrist now. The mouse is the thing you use most. And now I have a spastic mouse running all over the screen/ or a too heavy one.

*Seeing I have issues with scrolling and moving the mouse. I think something is bugging the mouse settings. (Magic mouse)

- Hangs after long sleep.
- I use private mode, but even with the settings right. It doesn't seem to work properly.
- search address bar also in Safari is not as responsive like previous version.

This is what I have now, for the few days of using.

Just two "undocumented features"

Mac Pro E2008, HD5790 feeding a Samsung U28D590D at 2560 x 1440 @ 60Hz. After "waking from screensaver" Firefox/Safari/Mail and probably all others, do not retain window size or position. Secondly, unable to change an alias icon. It will retain the icon of the original if the word "alias" is left in the name. Have upgraded 9 Macs of various ages and sizes now and no glitches installing on top of 10.9.5. Server 4.0 also installed over the top of 3.2.2, the only glitch being not switching DHCP on and not retaining the old DHCP settings. Otherwise, without a doubt, the best OS X variant yet, with a significant increase in speed. Well done Apple. PS, the trick over years I have found is to repair permissions in terminal (diskutil repairPermissions /) prior to installation. This has worked for me consistently of a large number of OS installations.

For transparent dock use cDock for mouse problems install SmoothMouse

Man, my Mac is showing the same issues! And has the same configuration too.

And what I guess it is... When the wifi on my Mac keep idle, the OSx turn off, only God knows why...

But why I guess is it? If a keep pinging the router, the wifi keep alive.

Anyone know how to fix this?

@EDIT

I reseted the router, and everything seems to work fine now

-Notification settings are not saved (reset to standard after logging off)
-Hiding option of login items does not work properly (the apps do not hide)
