Ok good to know
I use TRIM Enabler and it works fine on Yosemite.
The description of the authors own product had me in doubt of using it.

Until you zap your NVRAM and then your Mac won't boot.
Interesting... that really sucks.
I guess I'll be disabling TRIM and enabling the security feature again.

The wifi on my Mini has been doing fine, but our MBP's wifi is constantly dropping out. The other night it was saying another device is assigned the MBP's IP address, but he'll if I can figure out what.
I just tried opening keychain access and letting all applications access the router. I'm not comfortable enabling that though.
Definitely seems like a problem a lot of folks are having though.

correct. i posted on it last week. if you do it, make sure you understand that doing a NVRAM/PRAM reset will cause your system to not boot.
been there, done that.

anybody got a fix for app updates in iTunes not showing any info?
Having the same problem here. No change logs.
edit: Searched before about this, no work around yet, but seems to be a known issue.
Mine does that too. It's just a bug that in sure will get ironed out.
Same here. I too wasn't able to find a fix. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for the update. I always read the changelogs before updating apps, and there are 40 pending updates already..
you can still read them on the device, or go to the app in the store (right click)
I know, but I don't have all my apps on my iDevices. I keep lots of them solely in iTunes just in case there's a cool update that makes it worth installing again.
The app store workaround is a bit inconvenient as I've got so many updates already, but whatever. That'll do, thanks.
yeah, I'm kind of the same. keep some old apps around, and if an update seems significant with something new, I might reinstall. it's a way of seeing what they're doing with apps I don't have installed.

My iMac has been running damn slow since the launch of Yosemite. Im starting to panic as it really bugs me and bogs way down when i'm working on powerpoint, word, and even chrome for christ sake. Is it still indexing? Or is there something wrong with my instal? Ive posted an activity of my memory for you guys. Help is really appreciated. Thanks!
Some days are better than others i guess and i didn't post the CPU activity as its pretty non existent in terms of usage.

I'm working with a 2009 Macbook, 2.13 Ghz with 2 GB of RAM and a spinny disk.
I'm positive that RAM and an SSD will help me out, but I've been waffling over that for so long now, I should probably just get a new machine instead.
Amazingly, though, the one thing I couldn't wait to upgrade for, iOS screen capture in Quicktime, works almost flawlessly. I have this ridiculous urge to record gameplay for some reason and this scratches that itch quite well. My one issue is that while recording gameplay I can only listen to audio on the MacBook, at a slight delay, which I'm finding takes some getting used to.

Chrome... doesn't seem healthy from that list. oO

The CPU is slow, so so long as its fast enough for what you want to do then RAM and SSD will be amazing upgrades. My 2010 Mini with the 2.4 GHz version of your processor (but with SSD + 8GB RAM) is fine most of the time, but it does hang in places that my Mac Pro and i7 MacBook Air don't.
I can try a screen recording of an iPhone game sometime if you'd like.
Notification Center, Today Widget: "The first item in your calendar today is .... and started over an hour ago." (Wording might be off, I translated it from German)
Gee, thanks. In fact, it started about five hours ago and ended about two hours ago. You're telling me this because..?
edit: Found another (minor) bug, I think. In Mavericks, when I received an email while the Mac was locked, the notification would just say "1 new email". Upon logging in, it would fade to the sender and subject. Now in Yosemite, it still says "1 new email" after unlocking the Mac..

For the love of god, has anyone got their Hotmail or Outlook account work with they Mail app?
I can't seem to find any of my emails in my inbox even though I add my account and no matter how I try it, I just can't get it to work.
Does it work for any of you guys?

Yeah my hotmail worked fine, I just added it via preferences in the app.

Is anyone els having this problem? Ive uninstalled chrome and reinstalled. Safari is obviously fine.
Noticed that with someone else earlier in this thread. It's not uncommon. I had the issue with Chrome,
just switch to FF already.

Can you see all your Hotmail folders in the mail app? I can't see any of them for some reason.

Firefox on OS X is terrible. Utterly terrible. No one should ever consider switching to that.
Better than Chrome! I use Safari as my default, anyway.

I like AppCleaner.
I was getting mad because certain things were starting to move a little laggier on my late 2009 MBP (specifically mission control and my dock popping up from autohide and scrolling through a folder with lots of files in finder) but I fixed that because I guess when I installed it it defaulted back to using the lesser graphics card and not the better one with more memory and now everything is just dandy again.

I haven't touched Chrome since Mavericks when I finally said good riddance.
But FireFox is so outdated in the technology department now compared to Safari and Chrome. It's missing features the other two have had forever that they show no signs of implementing and it works so clunky. I use it for one thing and one thing only just because it is the only one with the extension I use to download videos from sites that aren't YouTube and Vimeo. (*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*) Since it's the only browser that allows that deep integration to allow extensions like that to work. But it's fine because it also means I don't have to set Safari to private mode all the time so it's like a wall between my normal life and my secret life. And I'm fine with that.
But it's so old and no signs of being modernized. No separate processes. Fullscreen mode is broken. And if there's too many tabs it becomes unusable for watching video, but that might be a Flash problem, though it's probably Firefox itself.
But Chrome was removed pretty much instantly as soon as Mavericks and iOS 8 were released. I loved Chrome until like the 4-6 months preceding Mavericks when it became utterly broken in EVERY SINGLE BRANCH (And believe me, I tried them all) and it got to the point I couldn't wait for Safari 7. It took me a couple more months to finally get around to unsubscribing from the Chrome threads I was subscribed to.
I have Hazel and it has this feature as an extra option. (Like how BTT has Windows snapping as an extra feature too.) It works great. And Hazel is well worth any money you spend on it. Automation is heaven.
Firefox is still my fave browser (although the recent UI change really pissed me off and I haven't been had the time to customize back to how I liked it). I have too many useful extensions so I'll never switch lol.
I sometimes use Chrome for the translations feature or flash/plug-ins. I never use Safari as performance was always the worst for me (gif threads dead lol) and the UI is the worst unless you add system hacks to customize it

So after a little more investigation this evening my "internet problem" (which I'd assumed to be the case as I've been having various problems over the last couple of months) is definitely a problem locally to the Mac. So I guess I'll wait for a patch to improve the wifi stability. 
Thanks, this is what I had before.
Thanks for the recommendation. I don't consider myself anything close to a power user on Mac though, so the other functionality isn't really of interest to me.

You don't really have to be a power user for Hazel. That's what it's for. It just allows you to automate things. Like clean out and organize your downloads. Move things to/from your DropBox/iCloud Drive/Google Drive for transferring between computers. Automatically add MP3s to your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder. It also can keep your trash clean too. All kinds of stuff.Thanks for the recommendation.

Huh, weird. Should be iOS 8.1. If I were you I'd just take it and keep quiet.

So Chrome isn't great again? I switched from Chrome to FF probably a year and a half ago due to some performance issues that weren't getting fixed (gifs, among other things). Apparently that stuff has been taken care of since.
Now, fullscreen in FF is broken and it's driving me up a wall. Safari's UI is terrible so I certainly can't switch over to that.
What gives you issues with Safari's UI? Granted, I've been using Safari exclusively since it came out so I could just be inured to it, but for my usage there's nothing that really bugs me about it (haven't switched to Yosemite but I know the smaller hidden by default URL will bug me.)
yeah it hasn't let me send another one via sms...I also didn't do the one I sent intentionally. I was messaging with a friend who has an iphone and it got an error sending as an imessage for some reason and messages then sent it via sms.
