OS X Yosemite (10.10) Bug Thread

[miscend]

Since installing Yosemite I'm getting an odd occasional graphical glitch whenever OS X switches from the integrated to the discrete graphics card. It only happens for a split second and only glitches one or two windows but not the entire screen.


Is this a confirmed bug?

… from the integrated to the discrete graphics card. …

What model is the Mac? The model identifier from System Information will be ideal.

What model is the discrete card?

What make and model is the integrated card?

And so on … as many details as might be relevant to a graphics-related issue. Discussion may become unexpectedly complex, so consider seeking or beginning a separate topic with focus on a single problem.

Thunderbolt glitches with Macbook Pro 13" 2012

Hi everyone,
Having searched the forum and not finding anything concrete related to what I'm experiencing on my daily endeavours, here are my list of experienced glitches;

Whilst running Mavericks I would get a very bad wake from sleep glitch on the external thunderbolt screens; I had two attached at the time - they worked beautifully until you let the machine sleep, then when you woke it, it was almost as if it hadn't woken correctly and one of the two screens had jumping distorted lines across it. Strangely, I was able to make the lines go away temporarily by grabbing a moving a window around, however when i stopped moving the window the lines would pop back again after a minute or so.

I had the same glitches with my bluetooth mouse - and it's definitely software related. Every time i wake from sleep and there are processes which are intensive (such scanning mail all at once across 5 accounts) or updating something then the mouse would 'lag and hang' - again, something I'm almost 100% sure is software and OS related not hardware.

Come Yosemite, i thought ok, troubles away and do the update. So far so good.

Having moved one thunderbolt display to the office and only using one at a time, its much more stable, however i have noticed two things;

Boot up in clamshell - i.e. open laptop, press power whilst connected to thunderbolt (as i did with mavericks) and things would come one, except having laid the laptop in clamshell mode down now (at home, or stood in its dock at the office), there are no peripherals connected - no mouse, no keyboard, no trackpad. I have to open the macbook and log in using the built in keyboard and trackpad, then close to clamshell mode again. Effing frustrating.

Even worse though is when you sleep in that mode, and disconnect the thunderbolt (i.e. leave the office) and get home, plug in to thunderbolt again, and 'wake' the machine up - again, everything is frozen - i can click around, but nothing actually responds; i can click windows, menu items, but keyboard and mouse clicks don't respond (almost like Finder needs a killall.dock terminal process run) however you can't do that - you can open terminal, but you can't type... i assume this is perhaps the "sleep-freeze-bug-gate"...

Aaaannnywways, though my venting might help someone know they're not the only ones...

any help appreciated.
I've done the usual like PRAM and resets, etc, disconnected battery (even changed out SSD's to check it wasn't that, and it wasn't).

drag and drop bug

when I am in a Finder window and want to move any files, from 1 file to 100 files, I can select the files and click and hold on them like normal BUT when I start to move the file(s) the window flashes and everything gets deselected. Some times the Finder window I was in closes, sometimes not. If I wait a 5 count it will allow me to drag the files about 66% of the time.

Very frustrated.

Yeah, but not exactly

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

It hasn't crashed much on mine, but it takes a while to load the homepage and it won't function if I try to go to another website before the homepage has loaded.

 

[gamesetmatch]

OS X Yosemite annoyances I have encountered so far (note: made a clean install):

1. Notification Center does not remember my settings.
2. Try to open a PDF within Safari. When you close the PDF and switch to another website, the text becomes unexplicably larger. This makes me close all active windows and start from browsing from scratch.
3. Oddly enough, Apple Support Communities don't load in Safari, but work perfectly in Chromium.
4. I miss some tricks for optimizing speed: would love to disable Mail's send and reply animations, but the terminal tweaks using Terminal for Mavericks do not work.
5. Messages: when sending an SMS to someone who is on my Contacts list and getting the reply back, the chats are not merged, like if they were not being recognized that come from the same person.

Hope (some) of this issues are fixed in upcoming updates.

Onyx, where are thou?

Cheers,

Mark.

Apple TV Home Sharing

Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, I haven't been able to use Home Sharing on my Apple TV.

----------

Apple TV "cannot connect to library" issue with latest GM build and iTunes 12 build. All usual fixes do not correct the issue (signing in/out of store and home sharing, restarting all machines, network, etc.) Seems others are experiencing this as well. Have submitted a bug report.

Home sharing won't work on my Apple TV either.

Any luck figuring out Netflix?

I changed my default browser from Safari to Chrome and updated some of the features on Chrome and it started to work...

Since upgrading to Yosemite I always get an error when trying to watch Netflix in Safari. "Display Error - There appears to be a display problem. Please ensure your monitor is HDCP compliant and is not mirrored using Airplay. Error Code: S7363-1266-48444350"

No one else seems to be getting it which is odd.

Can't stay logged in after update to Yosemite

It seems that after updating to Yosemite and Safari 8, I'm having trouble staying logged into some sites such as Facebook and Netflix. I have the "keep me logged in" button checked too. After a couple minutes or so of browsing or watching an episode, it automatically logs me out. I even tried clearing the Cache on Safari but that didn't help.

PS. Trying to post this thread, it told me that I was logged out. :/

Despite downloading the 'required' Java JRE directly from oracle I still keep getting the message about having to install it even though it's installed.... Annoying

1) If Mac is connected through HDMI (or Thunderbolt I've heard), then Safari will not play Netflix or Amazon videos. Workaround - Install and play through Firefox.
2) Back to My Mac either does not work or is very slow when trying to access screen share from computers outside local network. Work around - turn Firewall off and then back on on both computers. It still takes much longer to recognize computers in Finder than it did in any previous versions.
3) Trying to play a DVD using Screen Share and it won't display (this has been this way since Mountain Leopard and hasn't changed). But now, trying to connect an iPhone for use as a trackpad via WiFi will kill the picture. Apple is going overboard with their copy protection scheme.
4) Parallels is extremely slow. To get Parallels up to speed, you have to run the following script in Terminal: sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0xd4e"

Some bugs I found

Hello, after using Yosemite on the iMac with Retina 5K display I have come across some bugs and wondering if you guys have had them and if you know how to fix these.

Bug 1 : The first bug also combines with the second bug but this. What happens some time when opening up a finder window all the apps name have some kind of weird texturing going on with the same, photo below and I'm unable to click, move, on the icons and if i click on one of the "Favourite" icons like "Documents" nothink will happen and I will be in side the same window.

Bug 2 : This bug happens some times when I open the finder window, ether a folder on the desktop, in the finder or on the dock. All items in the finder window will not show up and I like before will not be able to click on one of the "Favourite" icons like "Documents" nothink will happen and I will be in side the same window.

Bug 3 : (updated) This bug happens when your download something like an app, when you click on the download icon on the dock it will open the preveiw window showing whats inside the download window. When this is opened it will say you have 10 of the same app in there but when you go to open the download window it will only show one instead of 10 (there is only meant to be one app in the folder)

If you delet the app or what ever it is from the download window, on the dock if you click the download icon it will still say there are 10 of the same app in there.

For a temporary fix to this problem just restart the computer and it will fix the bug but it will come back.

Thank you for reading this post and have a great day.

I don't have the new iTunes icon...?

have you gone to the "App Store" and go to updates, if you have not done it yet there should be a update for iTunes, updating it should give its new look and icon.

What model is the Mac? The model identifier from System Information will be ideal.

What model is the discrete card?

What make and model is the integrated card?

And so on … as many details as might be relevant to a graphics-related issue. Discussion may become unexpectedly complex, so consider seeking or beginning a separate topic with focus on a single problem.

It's a 2011 Macbook Pro 8,2 with Intel HD3000 and Radeon 6750M

Below is a pick of the type of glitches I get. In the background window. Is that my graphics card on it's way out or is it a bug in Yosemite?

The problem only started after I upgraded to Yosemite.

 

[grahamperrin]

… Is that my graphics card on it's way out or is it a bug in Yosemite? …

A non-expert guess: a problem with software, not necessarily Apple software alone.

That guess is based upon the extent of the symptom; it appears quite contained.

If there was a problem with hardware, I would expect the symptom to be more random/scattered.

It's a Yosemite bug. A lot of people are seeing similar glitches, myself included (although much less since GM). Radeon HD 5750 1GB in a 2010 27" iMac.

It appears that apple is aware and monitoring for it, as I got a dialog up once that said "Graphical error detected, send report to Apple?" (paraphrased) in the vein of a KP or crash report.

Crashing related to screen sharing

I've been having a lot of crashing that seems to be related to screen sharing.

I did a clean install on my late 2013 13" rMBP. When another Mac is viewing my screen, my computer's UI becomes ridiculously slow. Just moving between menu bars (File, Edit, View) has a huge lag.

But I also noticed that if I manually disconnect a remote viewer, my Mac will crash. I can make it crash 100% of the time by invoking Mission Control and swiping between desktops.

Otherwise, it will continue working until something I do make it crash--but I'm not sure what it is that I do.

By crash I mean that the computer becomes totally unresponsive and I have to manually power it down.

EDIT: QUESTION: I submitted this as a bug to Apple at bugreporter.apple.com. This is my first time submitting a bug. I am not a developer, but I have a free developer account. What are the chances of Apple seeing/responding to it?

EDIT 2: Apple did respond to my bug report which really surprised me. I'm not sure if it was boilerplate or not but they requested system logs which I sent them. Will update if I hear back again.

Do you have the latest version of Java (1.8.0)? If not, some current programs that need the latest features won't be able to run.

That's a known hardware problem. I just underwent a logic board replacement for this:

Heat is an aggravating factor, and Yosemite may be stressing your hardware more. It will continue to get worse until your machine won't boot. Apple knows about the problem, and will replace your logic board for $300 because it is so widespread (that is usually a $600 repair.)

If you wait long enough, I believe Apple will eventually address this with a free repair/replacement program.

Hello here is another bug I was talking about before but did not have any screen shots off it.

This bug happens when you download something like an app or video/photo and in the download folder on the dock when you open it, it will say 10 of the same app in the download folder, when you go to "open in finder" you will only have that one app. If you delete the app or what ever it is, the download folder on the dock will still say there is 10 types of that app in the download window and if you click on it there will be nothing there.

The way to fix this bug is just to restart the computer and it will go away. This does not stop the bug from coming back it keeps coming back ever not and then.

This is what it looks like :

Have any of you guys have this problem

I have this problem on any external drive and sometimes random folders on my main drive (or at least a similar problem). If you change to list view all the folders/files are displayed.

Anyone else having issues with the keyboard and Magic Mouse? I'm occasionally getting about 2 sec connection cutoffs for both keyboard and mouse with my MBA 11" (early 2014). Really, really annoying.

First beta isn't even out yet so you've got a lot to wait.

 

[gittson]

I have tried to search the forum and google to find anyone with the same problem as me, but so far no luck...hopefully someone here can help me

since i upgraded to yosemite on my macbook pro the top menu bar has gone bananas! the clock dont update, i cant click any of the icons and it looks like this when i try. (see attached screenshot)

i used to have a program for the old OS called "nocturne" to make the menu bar black and i thought maybe that caused trouble. but i have deleted everything that has to do with that program. (not just delete the icon from the desktop lol)

grateful for any help

First beta isn't even out yet so you've got a lot to wait.

if this is a beta then why are they pushing this OS on the apple website like its a completed product????
