Almost always it will now shutdown but not power off, then restart.ģ – At least once a week I get a random reboot.

This is after I replaced my 1yr old system HD with a brand spanking new SSD with a clean install, only to have exactly the same instability issues as I started having the day I installed Yosemite originally.ġ – Cannot directly start up from a cold start, as OS X automatically restarts several times before it is “happy” with a boot.Ģ – System Shutdown no longer reliable. Sorry kenw1, but here it is April and Yosemite is still having major stability problems. You should change that setting so you are NOT getting the pre-release updates. The official latest release (meant for public consumption) is still 10.10.1. THAT may be the cause of Yosemite-related issues.
#MAC OS X YOSEMITE REVIEWS UPDATE#
If there is a setting there that says, “Your computer is set to receive pre-release Software Update seeds” (with a Change button), your current system is still getting software updates that are meant for developers and ongoing beta-testers, which is currently for the pre-release version of 10.10.2 (you can also check by selecting About This Mac from the Apple menu).

You should not have installed beta software over your working system, and Apple warns NOT to do that unless you are willing and able to erase that system.Īlso (for “public beta” participants), check the following.

Or it may actually be a problem with Yosemite, although that’s less likely because the vast majority of users are not having such issues.įor Mac users who tested the Yosemite “public beta” and unwisely installed it over your primary day-to-day system, and then installed the official Yosemite release over that SAME system, THAT may be the cause of Yosemite-related problems. If starting up from that test disk causes your Yosemite problems to recur, you may have hardware-related issues.
#MAC OS X YOSEMITE REVIEWS INSTALL#
The fix may be to back up your user data, erase (reformat) your internal drive, do a clean install of Yosemite there, and restore your user data. Don’t wait until Apple “fixes the bugs” because you’ll be waiting forever. If your Mac runs fine while starting up from that test disk, you should suspect a problem with your usual internal drive startup disk (not “Yosemite bugs”). Then, run the latest Yosemite installer and target that “test disk.” After startup, apply any Apple software updates using Mac App Store.

Set up the drive using Disk Utility’s Partition tab, so that its partition map scheme is GUID Partition Table (Options button) and format is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If your Mac has a built-in high-speed SD card reader, an SDXC card of sufficient capacity also works quite well as a test startup disk (that’s what I used for testing Yosemite beta on my Mac mini – a 64GB “Class 10” SDXC card). You may be able to use a USB flash drive, if it’s fast enough and has at least 16GB (32 or more is better). (I think my first OS was Tiger, to give a sense of context.)įor the folks having problems with Yosemite…Īs a test, you should do a clean install of Yosemite on a separate volume (that can be erase), such as on an external hard drive. SO on the whole? On the whole I guess I’d still install if I was on OS X 10.9, but I’m more dissatisfied with the update than I can ever remember being. And the work Mac doesn’t do AirDrop from iOS to Mac because it’s 4 years old, though of course there is no information on any of the AirDrop screens that tells you that, you have to go looking around the internet. It routinely drops connection to the AppleTV - like at least once a week - and both need to be restarted to reestablish the connection. AT home we have four people logging in and logging out at different times and that system needs to be restarted at least every two weeks. On the downside both my home and my work Macs have locked up and required hard restarts between 2-3 times over the past few months. I think I’ve answered the phone once from the computer, and it certainly was cool. The banner feature for me is SMS texts on iMessages.
