Did Yosemite 10.10.1 fix anything?

I upgrade to 10.10.1 and haven't noticed any improvement in ANYTHING!! Quirky behavior in back-to-my-mac, wifi issues, remote desktop issues, name changes, lag time in preferences, time machine issues, etc etc etc.
Did apple hire Microsoft Vista testers?

UPDATE: Solved Wifi issue with MBA 2013... so far!
Hardware:
MBA 2013
Clearwire Clear Spot 4G Apollo
ISSUE: after Yosemite update (and 10.10.1 update) wifi connection continuously dropped and reconnected.  No issues before Yosemite.
I was able to test using several wifi networks, which other than being a little slower than expected, all worked with no connecting issues.
Attempted fixes: All the standard ones found in this forum and other places (ie. delete network settings and preferences.  Delete and recreate wifi network with new name... the list goes on.)  Some very temporarily seemed to solve the issue... only to see it return after a few quick surfing sessions.
SOLVE: (at least for now... I'll update this every 24 hours for the next few days)
While in an in-depth conversation with high level Apple tech Scott... I learned that deleting the wifi preferences and settings files wasn't all the files related to wifi connection.  Keychain holds the wifi passwords.
I then changed the settings in my modem to not require a password.  It connected after asking me "this network previously was protected by a password.  Are you sure you want to join it?"  (or something along those lines)  I agreed and was connected without any drop offs... Yah!!!
After a few hours of success, I changed it to WPA2 passworded (same question box popped up, I agreed)... connect with no issues... Yah again!!!
AFTER 24 HOURS:  Still successfully connected!!!
NOTE:  I believe this issue is caused by a corrupted keychain entry.  Apples help forum shows other high level network techs have notice this issue too.
I'm assuming that just deleting the keychain related to this wifi connection would accomplish the same results.  You would just need to re-enter the wifi password.
Watch for updates every 24 hours for the next few days... any feedback would be great.  Let me know if this helped your issue.

  • Did the 1.3 update fix anything for anyone?

    Hi all,
    Until this evening I had a 'freezer' 24" iMac (i.e an iMac that froze constantly with video problems) and as it was new have just returned it to my local Apple store and replaced it.
    I've re-installed Leopard (clean install) and my apps but now Software Update is bleating at me about "iMac Software Update 1.3". Given threads on these pages and others I am extremely hesitant about installing it.
    Has 1.3 actually fixed anything for anybody or am I better of staying clear until further updates come along?
    All opinions appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    I've left the update uninstalled for the same reason. I haven't updated anything since I installed Leopard since I just don't trust these updates. While my computer is not 100% stable I can live with it as it is and I don't want things to get as annoying as some other poor folks are experiencing.
    I'd say unless Apple release a "iMac freezing solution update" that is proved to be effective you and I will both be ignoring Software update.

  • Does "repair disk" or boot from OS fix anything even if nothing wrong found?

    My mac was freezing a lot lately, and when I did "verify disk" it told me something like it needed to be repaired and booted from the OS dvd.
    so I did that, and did "repair disk", but it found nothing wrong.
    so I just restored everything from my time machine backup.
    should this process have fixed anything or should I expect nothing has changed?

    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.6.8 install from a regular update, just run the 10.6.8 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. If somehow the 10.6.8 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.6.7 and 10.6.8 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • OSX Yosemite Logical Volume Group - FIX!

    Hey guys,
    For anyone wondering or concerned about why, when entering Disk Utility, the SSD name has been changed and you now see Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD below. The one above is listed as a Logical Volume Group with an "online" status while the one below that is your physical HDD (so normal as with previous OS's.
    I must note that I do not have any recovery partition when holding option when booting (after installing straight onto Mavericks, nor when making my own bootable copy).
    However, I did find a way to fix the Hard Drive name issue and revert it back to original format (I did find this fix online, and it has worked for me).
    I included pictures below as well.
    First one shows original Yosemite SSD name change (from Apple SSD to Macintosh HD with 18.9MB available)
    Second shows your normal HHD name unchanged.
    Go to Terminal and enter the following:
    diskutil cs list
    then you will see a bunch of volumes jump up
    enter: diskutil cs revert "UUID"
    under "UUID", enter the the Logical Volume code number without brackets.
    Do not copy and paste it from terminal into your new terminal line. Write it out.
    Hit enter and it will ask to reboot your Mac.
    Once, rebooted, your old SSD/HDD name with reappear as in Mavericks.
    My entire terminal line is shown in the picture attached.
    Either way (SSD name changed or reverted) did not changed how the system performed. Everything is running as it should.
    Final result shown in last picture!
    Hopefully this is just a bug that Apple will fix.
    Please ignore the DiskMaker drive (I was making a bootable copy on my external!!)

    Thanks for the tip. I see its a common trouble. But i stuck a problem that cannot be solved with this method cause i dont have revertable logic volume.
    SO i cannot install system now. There's  no visible disk any more.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • How do I get my url bar to show the websites I visited before? I did not clean my history or anything. Nothing shows anymore.

    Hey! I have restarted my computer during the night and this morning, when I opened firefox, the sites I visited before were not showing anymore in my url bar. I did not reset any history or anything. After visiting them too, they don't seem to save in my url bar (they still don't show after I visited them). All my url bar is showing are "suggestions".
    Please help, thanks :)

    I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program.

  • My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix

    My I phone 4 have volume control problem did anybody know how to fix thankyou

    Try force closing the Photos and Maps apps, then resetting your phone:  double-tap the home button, locate Photos in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it.  Now locate Maps and tap to close it as well, finish by tapping the home button.  Now reset your phone: hold the on/off and home buttons until your see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release.  See if that clears things up.

  • Did 2.1 fix anything?

    I've posted several times about the recurring slideshow module bugs that were introduced with 2.0, and weren't fixed for 2.1. The cropping bug wasn't fixed, either. When I select an image to crop in 2.1, it will often revert to the ratio that I used with the previous photo.
    Both of these bugs are extremely annoying.
    Just wondering: what DID 2.1 fix?
    I'm using LR on an Intel Mac with OS X 10.5.5.

    > In other words, no.
    Noted in that post was this link:
    http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/Lightroom_21_ReadMe.pdf
    In that link is this info:
    New in Lightroom 2.1
    The goal of this release is to address several bugs that were introduced with the release of Lightroom 2.0 and provide additional camera raw support. A comprehensive list of issues fixed in this release is included below:
    Stability and High Severity Bugs - Fixed
    Lightroom could crash when switching to or from the web module on Windows Vista 64.
    Selecting a custom camera profile or using auto-white balance could cause a spinning ball.
    Preference files pointing to missing catalogs could prevent Lightroom from progressing past the registration dialog.
    Errors could occur when attempting to create a virtual copy with a computer that has a processor that is not SSE2 enabled. (This is a method of delivering instructions to the processor which was introduced with the Pentium 4 processor. It should not have affected a significant number of modern machines.)
    Modal dialogs could try to appear on a disabled second monitor, causing Lightroom to appear hung or unresponsive.
    When a DNG file was selected for export to a derivative TIFF file and it is added to the catalog at export there was a possibility that one of the files could be treated as a sidecar within Lightroom such that deleting one file deletes both.
    Performance Bugs - Fixed
    Attempting to import a large number of images that already exist within the Lightroom catalog could cause significant performance delays.
    The image counts that appear next to each folder could appear to populate slowly.
    Lightroom scanned the calibration profile directory excessively when switching collections.
    The 'three dot' indicator in the grid view persisted longer than necessary.
    The Mac 64-bit version did not have SSE2 optimization, causing reduced rendering speeds.
    Memory leaks in the Library and Develop modules decreased Lightroom performance.
    Applying keywords via presets or on import could greatly decrease import performance.
    Folder synchronizing could experience significant performance decreases.
    Keywords and Metadata - Fixed
    Keywords from Lightroom 1.4 were not included on image export by default. (Please note that catalogs upgraded from Lightroom 1.4 using Lightroom 2.1 will not have this issue, but catalogs upgraded from
    1.4 using 2.0 will still need to use the script posted at our technical support site at: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405074.)
    Lightroom stopped rendering previews prior to completion on files with metadata changes applied by other applications.
    The "Any Searchable Field" search option did not find caption text.
    Photoshop Interop - Fixed
    Edit in Photoshop did not work correctly or at all for some customers.
    Copyright Status and Info URL fields were not transferred when a file was created from Lightroom for use in Photoshop.
    XMP metadata from the IDimager application was not carried over during an Edit in Photoshop operation.
    Files with an ampersand in the file name were not added back to the Lightroom Library after an Edit in Photoshop session.
    Choosing to Edit in Photoshop from a folder with an apostrophe in the name would cause the feature to fail.
    Certain NEF files were rotated incorrectly when opened into Photoshop from Lightroom.
    Miscellaneous Troubling Items - Fixed
    Re-importing missing photos from an exported catalog could ignore the setting 'preserve old settings as virtual copy.'
    Choosing to undo a slider adjustment in Lightroom on Windows would cause two undo steps to occur if the slider was still under active mouse selection.
    Lights Out mode could flicker on Windows when the detail panel was selected in the Develop module.
    The crop aspect ratio could revert to the last selected ratio even when it had been reset to original.
    The spot tool might not switch from clone to healing mode upon request if the brush was above a certain size.
    Certain ORF files were not read by Lightroom.
    During import and conversion to DNG, file renaming could use the operating system's date stamp rather than the files EXIF date.
    Panoramic images printed with a portrait layout and utilizing the auto layout functionality would cause images to print at a low resolution.

  • ITunes will not open, get error message 7(windows error 126) this application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. re-installing the application may fix this problem. well i did and did not fix anything.

    this application has failed to start because d3d8thk.dll could not be found. I looked that file up and it seems its part of directx. i installed directx again but that still did not help.

    d3d8thk.dll
    That one is a DirectX 8 module and might not be included in the most recent DirectX 9 redistributable available from Microsoft. If it's been installed as part of a partial DirectX 8 install (as part of a game for example), that can cause the issue. Can you track down a full DirectX 8 redistributable? If so, if you install that, does that clear up the iTunes error?

  • "Motion 4" icon greyed out after upgrading to Yosemite - Did Yosemite break "Motion 4" in Final Cut Studio?

    Against my better judgement (now that Apple has turned into Microsoft 10 years ago, breaking apps with every OS update, followed by radio silence from Apple, pretending like they didn't do anything), I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite and noticed that my Motion 4 icon is now greyed out. Thanks Apple.
    I still do the majority of my work in Final Cut Pro 7, with many, many, Motion 4 projects embedded in the timeline (so that I can change them in Motion and have them seamlessly updated in my Final Cut Pro project), including an unfinished feature length documentary on gay and lesbian history from 2000 BC until 1900 AD. Should I just throw the entire film into the rubbish bin? I would presume that Motion 5.1.2 is incompatible with Final Cut 7? So what am I supposed to do now?
    1 - Downgrade to Mountain Lion (or heck, why not Snow Leopard?)?
    2 - Switch to Adobe Premiere?
    3 - All of the above?
    Thanks (for nothing, Apple).

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

    After some peacefull time my system crashed completely on Friday!
    I installed all from Scratch to make sure its not some old stuff that I carried on during migration.
    It's not a problem with the motion files as I deleted all of them and XML export is still crashing!
    The situation is, that after installing it all I got the same quicktime translation error again and I am quite angry about how Apple handles clients who are working on projects with the recent FCP story.
    Unfortunately due to the problems in exporting XML I am not even able to switch to Adobe Premier as this is the only way to import there.
    After a lot of testing I am quite sure, that this issue has to do something with an Apple Update release between June 2011 and now.
    Conclusion: Final Cut Studio II is not working correctly anymore as it did before June 2011!!! Apple, Please fix this issue asap.!!!!

  • Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

    Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
    I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory  4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
    Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
