Lol, I don't keep track on all forums on all the apps that I have installed! I've not heard of cindori until today.

i ma finding the fussy menus and fonts on plugging in an external monitor to yosemite to really put me off the O/S. First time ever for me and an OS X build.

You're welcome. Sure it's been mentioned before but don't forget 'backups'.

Anyone know how to get Handoff to work?

Edit,
Ah wait. This is going to require bluetooth 4.0 isn't it..

Well, my late 2012 iMac works, 2011 MBP doesn't

Unfortunately my 2011 iMac (that I bought in 2012 grrr) doesn't support it.

the menu text is very blurry. not good.

menus really do look awful on a normal monitor

Not once in history, was there OSX update where they wouldn't ruin font smoothing for non Apple devices.

Try using:

Code:

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 4

in terminal, returns font smoothing on on Apple devices to classic OSX Snow Leopard thin and crisp shape. If it's too extreme for you try replacing "4" in command with 3 or 2 or 1.

The default font in Yosemite is doing my head in, it's just so wide and gigantic everywhere, makes all menus very big. Lost masses of real estate in this upgrade. There is also too much grey on grey stuff. White buttons (back, forward in browser) on grey background look like they're unfinished.

Apple's penchant to garish fisher price IOS icon themes continues, everything is pastel greys and then "wham!" - have a dock in Cindy Lauper underwear pinks and blues.

Spotlight is ruined. It was such a good, unobtrusive tool, nicely tucked in the corner and now it's like a spam porn popup across the screen. Giant font on 27" monitor screams "You have won chance to invest in Nigerian Prince Bond scheme". Damn you Apple. It would make more sense to put it on top of "today" tab in notifications section, if anything.

Memory management looks much better than in Mavericks. kernel_task kept leaking like crazy on my Mac Pro for years, taking 5-10Gb of memory, now it looks fixed.

Black dots indicating opened apps in dock. WTF thought of that. Tiny LED light dot for open, black dot for hidden, you know it only makes sense. Do it, do it now Apple, before anyone notices, you can have this one for free.

I thought I would love dark mode, because I love Adobe colour schemes, but somehow I hate what Apple did in OSX. It's just too dark, with those giant fonts. I don't know, it would work perfect if it was semi transparent, or if you had control over shade and could make it dark grey, like Adobe/Final Cut?

Interesting how the default installation involves disk encryption by default.

oldbag · 19 Oct 2014 at 17:09

Will this run on my 2007 imac?

While upgrading (today), the installer shown a popup that FileVault and Recovery Partition will not be available to me due to set up (my boot disk is four raided mSATA SSD's in PCI-e card). Which is odd, because Mavericks it upgraded had Recovery Partition (and I think FileVault was available). Early adopter blues I think.

How are people finding their battery life after upgrade. I feel sure it has reduced a fair chunk?

I'm shocked that he was doing this with crucial work. It's not the kind of thing you'd risk.

I think my rMBP battery lasts longer now.

Supercow · 19 Oct 2014 at 22:59

Did a complete fresh install today - factory deleted everything and installed.
I'm kinda liking it, but is it just me, or is anyone else thinking it's a bit slower?

rmbp here, so shouldn't be a slouch.

Yosamite killed my Bootcamp win7... something to do with the extra system partitions in Yosamite.

Gone Parallels route now and though it ran the old Bootcamp partition fine I've virtualized it fully for backup purposes.

Im with you. Seems to get hot more often too (with fans), which it hardly ever did with Mavericks.

Edit: On my mbp.

I'm sure I've read that Bootcamp in Yosemite only supports Windows 8 now?

Just had a good read about Yosemite, I will be upgrading but the new features I was looking forward to playing with won't work on my machines

2010 Imac 27inch
2011 MBP

I guess I can live without continuity and answering calls on my iMac, never had them so won't miss them, but would have been cool none the less
