Upgraded to Yosemite yesterday

[Zorro]

Haven't encountered anything problematic. Slick new iconography, and some minor mods to the Safari interface are the most notable changes I've seen.

1. I just upgraded this morning...

No issues so far.

2. I like it. Although the download

took forever.

I did have a minor glitch when I ran macscan2, disk utility and then I rebooted. Somehow, the hard drive was encrypted and it would not accept my password. Another restart, and it worked just fine.

3. May I ask what is your processor speed and how much RAM you have?

[Zorro]

4. 2012 Mac Mini

2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16GB RAM.

Also upgraded a Macbook Air 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB Ram. No noted problems on either.

6. Thanks

5. I'm running Yosemite on a low spec Mac

2011 Mac Mini, 2.5 GHZ i5, 4GB Ram. I have a 256GB SSD HD, which compensates for the lack of RAM. Also there's AMD Graphics 6630M/256, with leaves all the Ram free.

Yosemite is fast and responsive, the best since Mountain Lion. Mavericks slowed to a crawl over time. I've been using Yosemite for six weeks (in the beta program) and that has not happened yet. One thing, the AMD Graphics are faster than Intel's 2012 Haswell graphics, which may help with Yosemite's transparency.

Yosemite has been stable for about a month, better than Mavericks when it first came out. In the last two weeks they have fixed glitches with iCloud, WiFi and Safari. Very Happy.

7. Thanks for your update

8. Thanks for the info - I've been waiting to see what kinds of things people were reporting.

9. Upgraded my spring 2014 Air last week.

So far, so good. Getting to the logon screen after starting up takes maybe a second or two longer but otherwise it's working quite well for me.

10. I had problems with chrome.

it was slowing down and then finally crashed and wouldn't start up again. I'm now using a new beta version which seems to be working okay.

11. upgraded but cannot access iPhoto

it told me to download the iphoto upgrader, which i did, but the program still won't open

12. Upgraded a few weeks ago.

Uneventful. No issues. Seems stable.

[BarbaRosa]

13. I upgraded last week,

encountered no problems.

14. I'm afraid to download Yosemite

Ever since I got Maverick, it takes about 10 minutes for my computer to start up -- not an exaggeration: to actually get tp the stage where I can use a program, it takes 10 minutes of spinning beachballs.

I can't imagine how much worse Yosemite would make the situation.

15. Had to go back to Mavericks...

Too many things were not working or sluggish.

Some simple Automator functions no longer worked. Like when a photo is added to a folder, open these 8 websites. Yosemite would open 3-5 then warn "Safari/Chrome couldn't open because it was not responding." Others were reporting other automator problems.

Process "WindowServer" seemed to alway use more CPU than under Mavericks. Others were also reporting this.

Very sluggish performance when browsing the web. Chrome especially. Keyboard would take forever to respond. Finally got it going with a trial version of App Tamer, plus Chrome add-ons that would suspend tabs when they were not active. But had problems with those too.

I am hoping that 10.10.2 will fix some of this, but maybe my machine is reaching the end of the line when it comes to OS upgrades. I have a 2008 MacBook Pro. This was happening with an SSD and 8GB of RAM, so the machine isn't particularly an underperformer.

So far now, it's bye bye Yosemite.

16. Thanks for that report.

I have been reluctant to upgrade and think I will sit tight for now.

17. Yosemite worked great at first

and I really liked it. But then my monitor started going dark. Looked on the net and found out that there is a problem between Yosemite and some video cards or interfaces. I went back to the previous OS. Might have been due to the fact that I have an older Sony monitor - which I love - so I'll upgrade when I finally get a new monitor.
