![]() Here is a small sample of what it sent geneio: One opened a connection with and started sending extremely detailed logs of my search traffic. (I declined.) Several other adware/malware programs were discovered and removed. Then, MacKeeper then popped up and tried to interest me in a system scan. Almost immediately, my homepage and default search engine (all 3 browsers) were changed to something called "Leperdvil" (this seemed to be a proxy for Yahoo search). I know as Mac users we enjoy spending a lot of time and energy complaining whenever anything changes - and let's face it, everyone needs something to whine about occasionally - but for a substantial visual change this is a pretty easily absorbed update, IMO.I made the mistake earlier of upgrading my uTorrent version. Otherwise it was a pretty uneventful upgrade. About the only things that are actually different in terms of things I use regularly, the mini window on iTunes is a bit more unpredictable, and I prefer my Dock on the side pinned to the top like NeXT intended. It's not noticeably faster or slower on our mid-2010 27" iMac. But otherwise, it doesn't really work any different. Me, I'm also pretty used to the new look already, and quite like it. She said she'd barely noticed that it had changed. She has no patience for her stuff being slowed down (which is why her first generation iPad Mini is still running iOS 7).īefore updating I warned her that I was updating the OS and it would look different.Ī few days later I asked her how she was coping with it. Mrs despair is my main test case as a user who doesn't tolerate change well, and hates it when the computer doesn't work as she expects. It would be just like me to forget I had done so and render the machine non-bootable with an errant PRAM reset or some such. One thing, however: Anyone else see this from the makers of Trim Enabler? I put a third party SSD a few months back and have been using Trim Enabler to insure continued good performance, but I'm wary to have to take such steps just to keep it working under Yosemite. I'll give a chance for Apple to solve those issues with 10.10.1 before I complain too loudly. I have noticed some performance hiccups, particularly when invoking Mission Control, or attempting to Quick Look a large number of images at a time, both of which were almost always buttery smooth in Mavericks. It feels smart and slick and other than the Finder icon which looks like some sort of demented cartoon character, it all passes my graphic designer sniff test. Dark mode is glorious, I just wish the rest of the Finder chrome was dark too. I didn't have a spare machine for the public beta, so this is the first hands-on I've had with Yosemite. Other than a handful of non-free software upgrades for compatibility (not necessarily a bad thing-I'd been hanging on to old versions of Carbon Copy Cloner and FontExplorerX Pro far too long), it was pretty painless. Despite both of them being production/business machines, I made sure my backups were solid and upgraded my 2013 27" iMac and my 2011 non-Retina MBP this weekend. Just a response to some ideas being re-expressed in this thread which no one seems to be addressing. So I'm not sure what the grief is.Įdit: post not directed at anyone in particular. So the idea Yosemite being designed for retina displays doesn't mean we're losing any function on the lower dpi screens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Having higher res elements won't be obvious on a lower res screen. Focusing on lower res displays means UI elements will be lower res, which becomes more apparent on high res screens, as was the case with some UI elements on my rMBP. ![]() I think people who criticise the focus of Yosemite on Retina are thinking a little backwards. I assume that will be fixed in a point release, which is generally the case with every OS X release I've ever installed, where minor problems tend to improve by the second or third point release. Aside from slightly blurry text in the contextual menus, the UI looks just fine on my 27" iMac, 2009 model. I think we're over stating the Yosemite + Retina screen benefits. ![]()
