I have the two-finger-swipe, but it takes longer and only works well with the trackpad (and not with the magic mouse).

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Well it's official - my rMBP's battery life has been cut by like 30-40%. Ugh.
For this reason alone I never use safari on any of my devices and just use Chrome.

maybe it's just spotlight indexing?
I prefer CMD + [ to backspace because when I'm in a text input box (like I am right now), I can still go back using the shortcut, when I wouldn't be able to if it was backspace.
You can. I have f7 and f9 assigned to back and forward.

You can disable the dashboard entirely, just go into Mission Control's system preferences!

Loser slave of the system :(
Anyone know of a way to turn off phone relay or at least find the ringtone/mute options? It can get a bit annoying to have all my devices ringing at the same time.
Try turning off the sound for FaceTime in notifications prefs.
Anyone else not getting this effect across the top of the folders/display bar?
I have the transparency/vibrancy on the left side menu but not across the top. I'm on a Mid 2013 Macbook Air with 8GB ram and have never had any issues in the past.
I don't get it in Finder either. Weird.

My media keys (Previous track, play/pause, next track) aren't working when using iTunes. Has this happened to anyone else?
Edit: They do work with VLC, though.

I have a Late 2013 Macbook Pro and an iPhone 5s. I can't get Handoff to work. Both of my devices have Bluetooth turned on, they are connected to the same WiFi network and they are both logged on to my iCloud account.
Btw, I don't know if Bluetooth has to be turned on and it will work automatically or if I need to pair the Mac with the iPhone to work, when I try to pair the devices I receive an error.

If I maximize the window (double click the title bar or option click the green button), i do get the transparency effect. If i manually make the window smaller, the effect goes away.
These kinds of comments need context - what kind of machine are you using? How old is it?
I'm running a MBA from last year, and it's still lightning quick.
If only John Siracusa wrote an extremely massive review of each version of Mac OS X going through each new feature every single year.
Those browsers carry it over from Windows.
Looks like you might be able to set it to be back if you do some Googling.

Thanks for this tip! I use the dashboard about once or twice a year. Just disabled it.
Try this, on both your Mac and iPhone, and then restart both devices: http://www.imore.com/cant-get-continuity-calling-or-handoff-working-heres-fixI have a Late 2013 Macbook Pro and an iPhone 5s.

Going to be doing a clean install of Yosemite on my MBP today, so I don't know if it still works but try this: https://github.com/heardrwt/BringBackDelete
I loved it
If you want to turn off phone relay, the switch is at Settings → FaceTime → iPhone Cellular Calls on your iPhone, or FaceTime → Preferences → iPhone Cellular Calls on your Mac.
Mine also seems to be worse, but that's purely going off of the estimated battery time in the menu bar. I haven't actually gone through a full battery charge since I've upgraded.

Maybe Apple toned down the transparency effect on official release? This could have been from the beta.

My 2012 Air has it but it's much more subtle than that.

Holy shit, it might just be cause I had to reformat my drive and install everything clean but god damn my MacBook Pro is a booting faster and loading everything faster than on Mavericks.
Despite the horrible time getting it to initially work, everything is great and amazing.
I can't wait for SMS and I hope we get more features in the future that allow us to do this stuff via lightning cable rather than bluetooth for us with older Macs.
For the most part mine do work 100% with the exception of a couple Safari extensions. The only issue I had was MPlayerX where scrubbing a video to fast-forward or rewind isn't working quite as smoothly as before.
What kind of apps are you worried about, we can test them for you.

Man I'm trying to clean install Yosemite on a 2009 MBP via thumbdrive and it's been sitting on the apple logo with the progress bar barely moving for the last hour. It *is* moving; but at this pace it might be 6 hours before it finishes. Maybe longer.
Upgraded this morning. I like the small graphical updates, makes the OS feel more modern. My daily use functionality seems to be untouched from Mavericks though.
It's pretty shitty that they're forcing users to use Bing in spotlight instead of giving them the option to choose their own search engine. It's such a predictably apple "cutting off your own nose to spite your face" thing to do :/

I think that MBP is USB 2.0?

Important detail to notice here (not saying you didn't notice), but the transparency across the top is from the content inside finder – not the desktop. It's like Safari. So in this case, it's transparency is showing the thumbnails from the desktop pictures. If you simulate the picture there and click on a folder with thumbnail/icon view enabled, you'll likely get that effect too.
Only Phone Calls work atm and you need to make it work via FaceTime settings.
SMS won't be available till the iOS 8.1 update on Monday.
Yeah I never fucking understand this with Apple OS Updates.
The entire time I tried to install Yosemite, it would ALWAYS say Estimated Time: 18 minutes. 18 minute estimation every single time. It worried the shit out of me, but it also took like twice the amount of time as the estimate.
I installed via USB as well and for me it took ~38 minutes with an SSD.
I have the same laptop and iPhone as yours and I had the same problem until I log out my iCloud account on both machines. And relog in my iCloud account on both machines the hand off was working.I have a Late 2013 Macbook Pro and an iPhone 5s. I can't get Handoff to work.

You don't need to do pairing at all as long as wifi and Bluetooth is on.

I've no idea. But damn is it dog slow. I tried to look up how to just burn the installer to DVD...my eyes glazed over at the level of difficulty. I don't understand why they don't make some sort of app that allows you to burn these OS installs as needed to DVD or USB. 1 button solution, pls. I shouldn't have to go into Terminal to make a USB installer.
Bar hasn't moved for a long time now. I do hope it's not frozen. I'm not touching it, though. No way in the hell am I starting this process over. It's been going for at least 2 hours and is only around half way through the bar. I'm glad this isn't my Mac.
Yea I had the same experience on my SSD. I didn't install via USB, though. I just upgraded, so this whole Apple logo shit just didn't happen.
idk. I'm just glad MY computer is up so I can do my shit.
On a side note, my desktop framerate issues seem largely sorted out. May have been spotlight indexing or something, but it's been much smoother today. Just about all of the same apps open.

I love the new Finder but you need the option to move it around the screen.
I found the culprit: if the folder is shared (so it has that Shared Folder banner), transparency doesn't work. :lol
Dafuq? You're right. It's REALLY subtle for me, to the point that I just never noticed it until now. Thought it was broken on my install or something.
why does this always happen? Transferring some music from iTunes 12.0 (Yosemite... still on one of the betas but pretty sure this happened for me in 10.9 as well) to an iPhone 5C w/ iOS 8.
I get this and the files don't actually transfer?
edit: ok... I just clicked "Sync" but why do I have to do that? My method is dragging albums from my iTunes library into the iPhone tab. The songs transfer but some get that "dotted circle" thing and others don't.
edit x2: Ok... after sync finished there are still songs with the dotted circle that don't transfer. UGH.

Personally, my clean install of Yosemite on my 13" 2013 rMBP has been the stablest OS X release I have ever experienced.
There's been a tiny amount of graphical slowdown during OS animations, but I would attribute that to unoptimization at this point and time, which happens with every OS X release, and I'm sure it'll go away in one of the early point releases.

Umm, you can move a Finder window anywhere on the screen; you've always been able to do this, just drag and move!
I've been using the beta... I just installed Beta 6 and then clicked on the "Yosemite" banner on the main tab of the App Store and it says I already have 10.10 installed. So I'm good? How do I check if I'm still on the beta?
also how do I disable Image Capture from popping up when I plug in my phone or camera's memory card?

Ew. Sounds like the installer on the thumb drive might be bad.
