OS X Yosemite [OT]
- Thread starter giga
- Start date
Update to the stable 10.10.3 then get back to us
Is it out yet? I'm on 14D131. I think that's the latest available to non-developers.
I think this might be an issue with discoveryd. I've killed the process and trashed the .plists. Gonna reboot and see if it sticks!
edit: After trashing the .plists, iTunes refused to open. Weird. Put them back and iTunes is fine and the issue seems to be fixed. For now...
Yup.

No, the secure randomized xxxx-xxxx-xxxx code all these cloud services have switched to for people who use two-factor. They don't let you choose your password when using two-factor and instead give you a key to use as your password instead for certain services.
For instance I have two-factor turned on for Google and DropBox and, since the silly Fappening situation, Apple. Each company gives you the key, which you can change at any time if you want, and tells you to write it down and keep it secure. I take a screenshot and copy the text and put both in a secure note in 1Password in case I ever need it.
I like two-factor for security and peace of mind reasons, but damn if it isn't slightly inconvenient sometimes. Apple for some reason doesn't seem to distinguish between whether you need to use your normal iTunes password or your iCloud key so you have to use your head and think. I had to enter both a few times to get it right.
I had no idea that my activating two-factor was the reason my iCloud syncing of certain things (iBooks settings, iMessages and SMS syncing, but not Notes and other things for some reason) as it never really made it clear to me until yesterday. I had to turn iMessage off for a few months because I thought my phone was fucked up or something.
Isn't that the recovery key? I have 2-factor turned on and it gives me this recovery key, but never had to use it. It says you need 2 things to get into your account: your password, your trusted device or your recovery key. Did you not set a trusted device?

Of course I did. I have done it all properly now. All I know is it's a randomized password I am supposed to use to log into iCloud instead of my normal one. And if someone tries to log in from somewhere else it will alert me on my phone.
They call it an "App specific password" not a key.
Also I use it on Steam too. But they don't give a key. They just ask you to log in yourself and confirm you want to allow a specific device to log in.
We don't really need to have this conversation since I'm not having a problem. I was just making an observation and a face palm after figuring out the solution to a problem I was having.
Ah, I was just wondering. I was referring to 2-factor for login, but you seem to be talking about app-specific 2-factor, which I don't have.

Have you taken it to Apple? They can run the hardware diagnostic on it.
Nope. Still intermittent. Goddammit.
Ok so as mentioned in a recent post myself and my wife have different logins and different Photo libraries. Tonight I exported her library to her shared folder, then I imported all her photos into my Photos library, then put my library on my shared folder in the hopes we would both have access to it and be able to add new photos to it.
I made sure her account has Read Write access to the library as well.
While logged into her account I 'Option' clicked on Photo and chose the shared library, and I get this error;
"An error occurred while repairing permissions. Photos was unable to repair permissions on your library"
As a test I created a test library while under the wife account and put that in her shared folder. Then tried to open that under my account and got the same error as above.
I ran disk utility and nothing came up regarding the Photos Libraries.
Any thoughts?

Crap, I love to read them =( Siracusa writes the most complete reviews on software I have ever seen. It has been a good ride, I guess, and I respect his decision.
Okay, so I looked into it or rather did a quick search since it was just too odd.
So, yeah somehow the startup disk wasn't defaulted anymore or something, reselecting it fixed it, pretty weird (Link).
Version 1 is out, and it looks damn good. More than 200 plugins available right now.
The ability to show HTML content is a huge plus over Alfred.
For some reason, the GitHub README still calls it "very rough" and a "horrendous hack". Maybe they forgot to update the description.

I think it fixed a lot on my older MBP. My 2011 was dealing with low frames in particular when transitioning from desktop to desktop (I use like 8 spaces). It's back to being butter smooth again.

10.10.4 beta is out for devs.
Blimey, they're throwing these out pretty quick.
What does it do?
Edit:
How informative.
My Mac may be plagued with random restarts and kernel panics recently, but I've had zero of these Wi-Fi issues I keep hearing about.
Funny, I've had zero other issues apart from Wi-Fi.
Wow, this looks so much better than the initial alpha versions. Great to see that it's grown into a real application. I'll definitely be installing this tonight.
Anyone know why this might be happening? Getting latency spikes on my Mac in a very repetitive pattern.
Only happening on my Mac. No other devices are affected.

Is it me or the ram tab in the activity monitor has changed with 10.10.3?
Apparently. I just searched for an older screenshot:
The first two sections in the bottom have been swapped, and the File Cache has been removed from the third section.

Now they are pointing out that utilized memory is essentially only the app, wired and compressed one and cache is a different entry.
How old is your OS x and Safari?

Alternatively to the above, make sure plugins are enabled for those sites. Open preferences, go to security and click the button by the plugins checkbox and set to always allow.

Are you wireless? Turn off Bluetooth and see if it continues.
Brand new, got in on Thursday.
I ended up just downloading flash player from Adobe. Everything was checked.
I just upgraded to Yosemite last night because of the new Photos app. It's been years since I used iPhoto because of how slow and bloated it got. It looks like it imported everything into the Photos app successfully.
Is it possible to move the photos to a NAS, similar to how you can transfer an iTunes library? I tried searching for solutions but never found any clear instructions for it.

iTunes users, can you help?
Ever since the first Yosemite Public Beta in July 2014 I have had trouble getting my artwork appear properly on films and videos I transfer to my iPhone.
There is no problem at all with Music album artwork, this works fine 100%.
But for Videos & TV Shows that I never purchased through iTunes, the artwork rarely shows correctly when I have transferred over to my iPhone.
Even TV shows or Movies that had artwork functioning fine on my iPhone in Mavericks and iOS 7 has stopped working with Yosemite and iOS 8.
Is it a Yosemite thing? An iOS 8 thing?

Went to my genius appointment, and they offered to replace my logic board, see if that fixed my issues. The guy thought it might be GPU related.
He also noticed I'd been in a few times for repairs, so he went to speak to who I assume was his manager out the back. He came back and offered me a brand new MBP, to keep my 'faith' of AppleCare intact, basically.
Suffice to say I went for the new Mac option, it was free. Have to wait a few days for it to arrive in-store though.
Has the non-retina MBP mid-2012 model been refreshed since then? He said I'd get the equivalent of what I had in mine, but the latest model, 8GB Ram, 2.9GHz i7, but the HDD will be bumped up to 1TB because they don't make the 750GB anymore.

Nope. Non-retina is the same June 2012 model.
Ah fair enough. Can't complain about a new model though. I'll see slightly better performance due to the 1TB drive, denser platter = faster speed/access, right?
I was really taken aback when he said it would be free. I can't fault the Genius bar, at least in my local store. Lovely folks.
Assuming it's a 7200RPM drive, theoretically, although I've never seen much difference between sizes of the same rotational speed. You'll get a much bigger boost from an SSD.
New and shiny is nice though.
They treat you well if you have AppleCare. And if you've been in for a number of times for the same issue it's actually more economical to just give you a replacement as well as much better for customer satisfaction.
The lag and slowdowns in Safari are insane at times. Just infuriating.
And I recently noticed that even on iOS, Chrome is often way faster than Safari. Mobile Safari also occasionally suffers from weird issues like some tabs simply refusing to load anything. I can refresh the tab, manually enter another address or a search term, or tap on a bookmark, but the tab stays blank. I have to close it and use a different tab, then.
Speaking of Chrome: Sometimes, it takes several seconds for Safari to display Google autocompletion results when entering a search in the address bar. Why? Chrome shows them instantly. edit: I was referring to Safari and Chrome on iOS.
They haven't fixed the graphics issue causing Safari to display black squares at times either. Here's an example (not my picture):
I don't know it this was an intentional change (why?) or a bug, but it still happens.

No, still a 5400RPM drive sadly.
Safari has been by far the best thing about Yosemite, I haven't had an issues with lag or slowdown and I'm on a 2010 13" MBP. I find Chrome to be basically unusable. No black issues either.

Daaaaaaaam... maybe I should take my sister's MBP in to get checked in case they find something wrong... xD
