One of the lucky millions. Web usage figures put Yosemite at more than a third of the installed base of Macs last month, and it will almost certainly become the most commonly used version this month (though it isn't likely to be the majority for a few more months). Adoption of Yosemite has been faster than Mavericks. If there were widespread problems I think there would be a lot more wailing and gnashing of teeth. The poor ratings and complaints in discussion threads suggest that _some_ people are experiencing problems of some kind, but it may be a relatively small proportion of the total. As usual, those experiencing problems are more likely to mention it. I was running Yosemite on an experimental basis during the beta period, and upgraded my main system to Yosemite shortly after 10.10 was released. I had a few minor stability issues with 10.10 (occasional crashes from standard applications like Mail and Safari), but they appear to have been fixed in 10.10.1. I have not experienced any significant issues with 10.10.1, nor have any of several people I know locally who are running Yosemite. I do have a few remaining minor issues. e.g. I have a Transcend JetDrive which normally lives in my SD card reader slot (it sits almost flush with the side of my MacBook Pro). After waking from sleep, my system sometimes complains that I didn't eject it properly, even though I didn't remove it. I'm sure I didn't bump it, so this feels more like a spurious USB 3.0 drive ejection problem that I've seen others complaining about. So far it hasn't suffered any corruption, as the drive had been idle for a long time before the system went to sleep. I haven't seen the Wi-Fi issue which some people seem to be reporting. The upcoming 10.10.2 issue is supposed to have Wi-Fi as one of its focus areas, so perhaps that problem will be fixed if you wait for 10.10.2 before upgrading to Yosemite. I expect 10.10.2 will be released before the end of January. -- David Empson dempson@actrix.gen.nz

I have had a similar problem with my backup hard drive on my MacBook Pro, connected through Firewire 800. Quite often, when I open the lid, I will get a message saying that my backup drive was not ejected properly, even though it stays connected to the MBP whenever it is on my desk. Again, no corruption noted, and the drive connects a few minutes after I open the lid, and backs up the internal HD normally. > > I haven't seen the Wi-Fi issue which some people seem to be reporting. > The upcoming 10.10.2 issue is supposed to have Wi-Fi as one of its focus > areas, so perhaps that problem will be fixed if you wait for 10.10.2 > before upgrading to Yosemite.

It always connects thougn, and I have seen the same behavior in Mavericks. In Mavericks, it might have been worse, as i sometimes had to manually connect to my network.

Okay, so one time? In band camp? David Empson <dempson@actrix.gen.nz> was all, like: > I had a few minor stability issues with 10.10 (occasional crashes from > standard applications like Mail and Safari), but they appear to have > been fixed in 10.10.1. Crashes in 10.10.0, maybe, but one thing that appears to have been solved with Mail.app in 10.10 is its occasional refusal to quit. That is, the app is not crashed, but the quit menu item was disabled and you could not quit the app (nor could you force quit it from the GUI). The only solution was kill it from the command line, which might work or might lead to an unstable Finder, or reboot. It didn't happen often, but it happened in 10.5-10.9. I don't think I've seen it a single time since 10.10 was released. > I have not experienced any significant issues with 10.10.1, nor have any > of several people I know locally who are running Yosemite. Nope, it's rock solid. > e.g. I have a Transcend JetDrive which normally lives in my SD card > reader slot (it sits almost flush with the side of my MacBook Pro). > After waking from sleep, my system sometimes complains that I didn't > eject it properly, even though I didn't remove it.

I no longer have any USB 3.0 drives directly connected to my computer, which took care of all those sorts of issues. However, to be fair, I see the same sorts of issues with USB 3.0 enclosures in Windows 7 and 10 (the same enclosure that tend to 'eject' on the Mac. I did see this when I first hooked up my Drobo 5D, but it turned out I forgot when you re-install OS X to a new drive, it always turns on sleep. I always forget this. When the computer slept, the Drobo would eject and then not reconnect when I came back to the computer. Since wake-from-sleep is nearly instantaneous, I didn't realize for a day or two the computer was sleeping. > I haven't seen the Wi-Fi issue which some people seem to be reporting. > The upcoming 10.10.2 issue is supposed to have Wi-Fi as one of its focus > areas, so perhaps that problem will be fixed if you wait for 10.10.2 > before upgrading to Yosemite.

You're a Mac guru, so you're able to solve problems with ease that the average user (like me) stuggles with and you tackle some Mac problems I wouldn't even attempt (such as Terminal or changing a hard drive). Also, the average user only has one Mac to upgrade -- not dozens. That, too, exemplifies your expertise. Similarly, I expect that when I go into an Apple reseller store, it will have Yosemite working perfectly on every Mac displayed. The Apple store men are the experts, so of course they can do well what others struggle with. >> I'm stuck with Snow Leopard and gradually my various software is >> becoming obsolete, which limits my choices. > > What's keeping you back (besides yourself)?

Yes, but those folks have very handy and competent "IT departments" as close as the phone- family members who are tech savvy. Tom, I can understand- but I've been updating and upgrading my Macs for over 25 years. I have three computers here on Mavericks, no problem worth mentioning. Old timers may recall always installing the new OS on a separate partition and running it for months before giving it the go ahead. And taking old floppies and then the newer floppies (with hard plastic sides) into a place to swap them for disks that had the new OS on them.....

Hardly. I know quite a few people who are definitely *not* tech-savvy and have been running Yosemite largely without issue. You're falling for the hype. > Tom, I can understand- but I've been updating and upgrading my Macs for > over 25 years. I have three computers here on Mavericks, no problem > worth mentioning. Ok. And I have several computers here running Yosemite with no problems worth mentioning. Now what?
