1.6 GB in size downloading now, sees the servers are getting hit hard as expected, looking at taking almost 1 hour to download
LikeLike
That would actually be 1.16Gb

Mine is 823MB in App Store. I guess it’s different for everyone.
LikeLike
Interestingly I just downloaded 823MB and installed only to find another update 1.0 in there after for 1.16GB. This is now the third OSX 10.10 Update 1.0 I have been prompted to install in the App Store. Guess it doesn’t know itself what is running on my machine and is getting quite confused.

Yes, although that happened to me in Beta 1. Once the Finder went nuts and filled with static/glitch art like a video card bug or something.

What was the fix? It’s doing that o me now. I can only start up in safe mode.

Hey 9to5!
I just updated to OS X 10.10 DP2 and so far I noticed 2 fixes: 1st the quick reply for messages works correctly (used to switch to message app when quick reply-ing) 2nd my WIFI connect better/faster now (used to take forever when I put my mac to sleep and woke him up also leading to „no IP-Adress“ Errors etc)
And of corse its way faster it seems!
Greeting from Austria and keep up the good work !

For some reason i did not get the photo booth app with this update, anybody know why?
LikeLike
I didn’t get it either. I don’t know why.
LikeLike
I also did not get the photo booth app. However I believe I had a bad install on the update. Rebooted during the restart after the update because the bar was stuck at half way for over 10 minutes (after the installs took place). When booting back up App Store told me to re install some updates that failed, but no updates are available and it says that 1.0 was updated. Checked my build number and indeed it did not update. Still at build 14A238x… Might want to check to make sure your build is correct.. Sigh.. Novice mistake, learned. Appears I will have to wait for beta 3 to update.

Could someone who has installed 10.10 beta 2 check if VMWare Fusion (6) is running? It didn’t work in beta 1, so I had to go back to Mavericks…

The VMWare Fusion Technology Preview will more than likely be the one that starts working with Yosemite first. I would doubt that Fusion would just start working, as it would need to be something that VMWare changes in their code to do this. VMWare says the current preview (May) still does not work with Yosemite (however the program will launch, you just can’t start the VM). I would check back with them and as soon as it the new preview of VMWare is released see how that works. https://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/fusion/vmware-fusion-technology-preview-2014

Hello Folks,
I just want to mention that I’m running OSX Yosemite Developer Preview 3 and Fusion Technology Preview July 2014.
So far everything seems to work well. My Bootcamp partition booted fine and seems responsive, even with the extra debugging enabled in both OSX and the Tech Preview.
This is running on my Macbook Air. For those interested, here are it’s specs:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Disk 500Gb Flash
Guest OS: Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
I don’t use any stressful applications or do any development, so others experience may vary, but I’m pretty happy with how things are working.

I really loved the space theme in the Time Machine screen… Going back in time, in tandem with traveling among the stars just logically fits. That’s one thing I really wouldn’t have changed. At all.

Me too… I’m ok with the rid of the ‘skeumorphims’, polluted look, and alike… but really, the Time Machine space theme is really cool… wouldn’t touch that part… and if they do, just please leave the option of the classic look for those who prefer it…

Mine actually will not download the update. Prompts me for the restart, but doesn’t restart or download the beta. Am I doing something wrong?
LikeLike
Did you ever solve this issue? Mine does the same..
LikeLike
Mine is doing the same thing too. I think it may have something to do with the fact that it partially downloaded and I lost connectivity. Now it says Update and after I click it starts to download then immediately prompts to Restart… but does nothing after clicking Restart.
Anyone able to get this resolved?

Yeah, I stay away from Safari as much as possible, but I have been trying to use it to submit bugs since this is the preview, but it seems really, really buggy. Safari, as usual, is probably my only complaint so far.
