    Let’s hope this helps with some of the most annoying issues.

    • kjl3000 - 9 years ago

      It doesn’t.

    • monty72 - 9 years ago

      It’s not fixed mine. Bluetooth off 73 Mbps, bluetooth on 21 Mbps!

      • Taste_of_Apple - 9 years ago

        Yikes. I don’t know what is going on lately, but they really should fix this stuff ASAP. I wouldnt mind a few bugs here and there, but having so many broken features constabtly becoming an issue is ridiculous.

      • Kawaii Gardiner - 9 years ago

        Interesting, do you have the new MacBook Pro ‘Retina’ with 802.11ac? I’m wondering whether it is specific to that model because I’ve got a 2012 iMac (pre-802.11ac) and everything seems to be going well.

      • monty72 - 9 years ago

        Hi yes it’s a late 2013 but I’m too far from the router to use the ac as it’s 5GHz only. The issue I have is on 2.5GHz n

  2. karzan (@karzan5555) - 9 years ago

    its really quick update

  3. I’ll be happy if I don’t have to reset Wi-Fi every 5 minutes after this update!! So annoying!!

    • karzan (@karzan5555) - 9 years ago

      tis been fix and really fast too

      • Haj Adam - 9 years ago

        It is NOT for early 2011 Macbook Pro; I cannot even check my Hotmail in less than 3 minutes; when I click on the Wifi icon on the task bar, I get “Wifi looking for networks. All the Windows devices and iPads we have at home don’t have any Wifi issues. My experience with Yosemite so far is worse than Windows ME. I wouldn’t think twice about using Windows 8.1 as the sole OS on my MBPro if I can get a standalone driver for the network adaptor.

    Number on AppleTVs Names are still very annoying. After Updating and re-starting all my devices, this issue is still present. I get a “(2)” in my AirPlay names for my Apple TVs

    • kjl3000 - 9 years ago

      Same on MacBook Pro

      • secdj - 9 years ago

        How do you see it in the macbook pro? Maybe i have the same issue and i can’t see it. So far, its only in my Apple TVs, not in the Airport express or the computers.

      • kjl3000 - 9 years ago

        I mean i have the Number Issue with my Computer Name (Macbook Pro (2), (3), (4) … )

      • kjl3000 - 9 years ago

        You can see it on System Prefs / Sharing / Computer Name

      • secdj - 9 years ago

        Thanks for replying. I have no problem with macs or airport express. My problem is with Apple TVs the change every second. Impossible to use them!

  5. Caty Oliveira - 9 years ago

    Still not fixed the sound problems I’ve with my earphones.

  6. kjl3000 - 9 years ago

    Time Machine still not fixed in 10.10.1 (among lots of other issues). This is ridiculous. Apple, please get OSX out of beta in 10.10.2!

  7. Brent Howatt - 9 years ago

    Here’s hoping the Handoff wonkiness is fixed.

  8. herb02135go - 9 years ago

    I wonder how many software updates are issued by Apple to fix things.

    I can understand updates as other software evolves but compete OS updates to fix things that weren’t caught pre-release?

    This wouldn’t be tolerated in any other industry.
    Why does Apple get a pass?

    • secdj - 9 years ago

      I am seriously very sad for u man. U seriously need to get a life. Or are u a 80 years old man with 500 pounds on ur shoulders with no hope at all. I have been ignoring for a while but u must have such a sad life :( I am very sorry for u :( seriously.

    • scumbolt2014 - 9 years ago

      You’re still alive, so that shows lots of assholes get “passes” you fucking troll.

    • Kawaii Gardiner - 9 years ago

      The only pass that Apple receives are in the minds of those who are high on Apple-hate because these are reported issues but most of the time rather than inconveniences rather than chronically problematic flaws when compared to Windows and 20+ years of the registry, win32, dll hell etc. which, in each release, has a band aid solution applied that works around the problem (and creating new ones at the same time) rather than fixing the source. I’d say that Apple does a pretty damn good job. If you want to see bad – check out Oracle some time and their ‘enterprise quality’ software.

    No real problems with wifi since Yosemite here, nor any issues with Bluetooth. As for the multiple device issue, I do have 9 iMacs on my sidebar when opening my finder… the funny thing is, some are showing different users connected, be it they are all mine or my family’s. my side bar also shows my back up drive, my music and video drive (another i use for storing my libraries of music and videos to keep my iMac hard drive running faster) My only issue has been with my iPhone 6 where sometimes i lose Wifi, but on my wife’s 64 gig iPhone, it still connects. same with the iPads, AppleTV’s, mini’s, iPhone 4s, and macbook pro. all have no issues, except my iPhone 6. it is so sporadic that it doesn’t really bother me, plus i have applecare plus on it as well if anything serious does happen. I found that many issues were operator error on input for the most part earlier when running the OS beta for me. once i learned correct settings, or why the issues occurred, i was able to remedy them. the nice thing is that Apple gives 90 days tech support on Yosemite once it is installed to help iron out any bugs, even on my old iMac.
    A funny story from yesterday… I was watching the games when my iPad mini rang. it was a call from my son’s iPone. the monitor on my iMac showed it as well, but i answered on my iPad. worked like a charm! had my iPhone in the bedroom, so not having to get up to answer was great. Such is the way it should be with Apple products.

  10. scumbolt2014 - 9 years ago

    I’ve has zero issues with Yosemite (and had none with Mavericks either). Lion and Mountain Lion gave me issues with wifi but was eventually taken care of.

    If your having any issues sack-up and google it. Yiu’ll find a fix – I always do. It’s much more productive than crying on the comment section to anmac site.

  11. Can confirm on my rMBP 15inch Late 2013 that the Wi-Fi bug has not been fixed after upgrading to OS X 10.10.1 and everything else basically performs exactly the same!
    Wi-Fi on my original iPad Air may have slightly been improved but by no means brilliant! I just don’t understand how they are still having all of these issues with Wi-Fi on all of there devices!
    I swear everything takes me twice as long because of this issue on my rMBP!
    Is the 10.10.2 beta out yet for developers?

    • Kawaii Gardiner - 9 years ago

      What kind of router do you have? from what I heard there are issues with routers that broadcast both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz with the same SSID where OS X should switch based on which has the best reception but what is happening if disconnections. Have you tried separating the two so each frequency has its own unique SSID and then connecting to one specific one?

  12. nickjeremiah - 9 years ago

    The only problems I have is Safari going spastic and flashing and glutting about sometimes and Finder blanks out on me sometimes and the top row of icons in column view a slightly pushed up behind the main menu bar… It’s frustrating.

  13. Błażej Chwiećko - 9 years ago

    My WiFi sill slows down when Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are connected. :(

  14. ChuckSr Salzmann Sr - 9 years ago

    Yosemite seems to have fixed the problem of getting “ghost systems” i.e.: MacBookPro (2) (3) etc. I have an odd one that is: my MacBook Pro share name is Chucks MacBook Pro, but on the system where I reference it, it says MacBook Pro-cee8. Anyone have any ideas why? It is accessible but why the name is different is a mystery. The Mac Mini that is shared as Chucks Mac Mini appears normal in the Mac Book Pro.

  15. John Lutterbie - 9 years ago

    This does not respond at all to the problems with connecting to Apple TV. Should I get an XBox?

  16. Krag Surtur - 9 years ago

    Should never have released it as it was… Mail has problems (confirmed by Apple Support), so does Safari. One issue is Yosemite doesn’t show List of Users as before, ugh. Too many bugs. I feel like I’m starting to use a combination of iOS (for tweens) and Windows (crudeness).

  17. penwize - 9 years ago

    Where the hell did the Task Manager go? I have all kinds of things running in the background and need to need close them but can’t as the Task Manager is hidden or gone. Can anyone help? I lost it when I upgraded to Yosemite.
