Yosemite beta to full release

Hi, all.
I was using Yosemite Beta and installed the current version once released. My computer is still very buggy and I am not sure I installed it clean with the final version. Is there a way to be sure or how would it be best to wipe and reinstall Yosemite fresh and new? It says I am running Yosemite 10.
Thanks in advance!

Boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS. Then, install the 10.10.1 update that they released today. Reinstalling overwrites all OS-related files. That's a clean as you can get.

  • HT1444 how to migrate from yosemite beta to full vesion

    Hi
    how to migrate from yosemite beta to full vesion

    When I look in "about this mac" - it says Yosemite 10.10. Do I really need to download it again?
    I found on a blog that someone contacted the Apple service:
    “simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update” – that means the final version of the beta software you are given to test is what will be made public. So we’re on the same build as what is now in the App Store.
    My compute OSX is 10.10 but build is (14A388b) while some say that app store version is (build 14A389).
    Does it really make a difference? If I don't download it will it continue to update?

  • Upgrade from Yosemite Beta to full public release

    I'm struggling with updating my Macbook Air, I installed the public beta of OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) I now want to wipe clean my drive and install the full public release.
    Every-time I install direct from the App Store, Beta version 4, I've tried booting into recovery mode, Disk Utility and wipe the SSD, re-download guess what Beta 4.
    I've get and understand this is driven by the fact my recovery partition is Yosemite Beta, what I'm looking for is how can I overwrite this with the full general public release version.
    Passing note, I know there is not much difference only really finial build number etc. but its frustrating when I perform a clean install, open the app store to be treated with the same beta upgrades...
    any help would be appriciated, I have 2 other iMacs which can be used to create a bootable OS X USB or a networked install route should this be required.

    Download the Yosemite release from the App Store and save it. You will need to erase your hard drive and install anything from Snow Leopard to Mavericks before you will be able to download Yosemite. There is no way to upgrade the beta.

  • Update from Yosemite Beta to Public Release Issues

    I have been using the Yosemite Public Beta for a few months now, and I am wanting to install the public release of Yosemite from the Mac App Store. Every time I download the full install from the App Store and start installation, about 80% of the way to completion, my MacBook just resets and goes back to my desktop? The install app is deleted and the App Store does not show that I have installed it? Am I doing something wrong?

    You cannot...there iOS no incremental download.  You have to go to the App Store, Purchases and download all 5.16 GB of the installer.  There were minor changes in going to the final, but the requirement now is to download the complete installer.  It comes into Finder, Applications as OS X Yosemite Installer.

  • Yosemite beta vs release  - how to install??

    I installed Yosemite Beta (thru version 6) and would like to upgrade/install the release version today.
    Do I need to uninstall the Beta version or just install the release version?

    No, you don't need to uninstall.
    My recommendation is to go to the App Store tomorrow, or the next day, when the traffic settles down.
    A great helper here, Lanny, recommends the following:
    Go here:
    https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=915041082&mt= 12
    And, click the button marked, "View in the Mac App Store," then download. It's a full installer that can be used on SL, Lion, ML or any previous version of Yosemite.

  • Im currently running Yosemite Beta 10.10, how do i upgrade to a non beta release of yosemite?

    Im currently running Yosemite Beta 10.10, how do i upgrade to a non beta release of yosemite? downloading yosemite in the app store doesn't work, i get a box that say my purchase couldn't be completed at this time. what can i do?

    This seems very odd that they would completely make an entire OS X release not available at all. This is also unfortunate because some of the software use has compatibility issues with Yosemite. Thanks for the responses I will contact my local retail store and post back if they give me more information or a solution.

  • Update from Yosemite beta to Yosemite release

    If I install Yosemite beta or Yosemite developer preview, and then I start using it for development and personal use and find that I'd rather just update to the release version of Yosemite, is it possible? Would I need to install the release version of Yosemite, or would I just be able to download an update and it would take the usual ~3 minutes and a restart?

    When I look in "about this mac" - it says Yosemite 10.10. Do I really need to download it again?

  • How to update from Yosemite Beta 6 to Public Release?

    Does anyone know how to upgrade from the Yosemite Beta (6th release) to the final release? I don't think Apple is suggesting it, but I'm not going to roll back to Mavericks to then upgrade to Yosemite again, but I want to make sure my OS isn't stuck on the 6th Preview.
    When I go to the App Store to update, it says I'm already on Yosemite, but still shows "Download" as an option. Want to be sure I'm not missing something.
    Thanks!

  • Successfully installed OS X Yosemite 10.10, App Store updates prompting me to update to OS X Yosemite Beta 2, OS X Yosemite Beta Recovery Update 1.0

    Good day community people,
    I've successfully installed the final release of OS X Yosemite 10.10 on my iMac 21.5" (Late 2012). When I open the Mac App Store to check for updates, the updates prompt me to update OS X Yosemite Beta 2 & OS X Beta Recovery Update 1.0. The question here is, I already installed the latest release on my iMac why how come App Store still stated I need to update to Beta version?
    More info on my previous state before installing the final release. I was a Open Public Beta tester of OS X Yosemite but I didn't install it on my iMac, therefore my iMac is upgraded from OS X Mavericks. So by right my procedure is correct. Please assist. Thank you.

    It seems no one could answer my question here but I found the solution. There's a bug even after installing the final release that caused the Mac App Store keep on prompting Yosemite Public Beta updates. The only solution is re-download the final version again from Mac App Store and re-install on top of current installation without formatting or erase the hard drive.
    And you're welcome

  • Trying to install Yosemite from the Yosemite Beta but it will not download

    Hello All:
    I went to the Mac App Store to upgrade to Yosemite, however because I am on the Yosemite beta, I get this message when I click on download.
    OS X v10.10 is already installed on this computer. Use the Updates page to install the 10.10 update or if you would like to download the full OS X installer click Continue.
    There are only two buttons on that dialog box though, one that says Learn More or OK.. no continue.
    Is there a way I can download this from another source?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Paul

    I dont mean to be petty... By the way.. I didnt help you with this question either... So that wasnt the point of my comment. Or my intent to get a pat on the back... I didn't post that for praise... The praise was not mine to be had. (Even though for some reason you gave it to me)
    Just nice to say thank you sometimes when people go out of their way to help you out of their good will, when they dont make a cent.
    If it was just a mistake i get it.. some people make a habit of this on the forums. Just thought I would comment on it

  • Lost some catalogs when I went from LR3 Beta to Full. Pls hlp!

    Hi! I finally hunkered down and purchased LR3. I've been  working off the last beta since its release, and I was curious if theres  a way to import all my files so I dont lose any of the changes I've  made to the files? I have yet to install LR3 full, was waiting til I got  an answer. Thanks!
    edit
    Damnit Im pissed! I just went ahead and  impulsively installed LR3 and my files were not carried over from the  beta. To add insult to injury, it appears the beta magically  "disappeared", so I cant finish editing my almost-completed shots even  in the beta! WTF!? BTW if it matters, Im on win7 64bit

    LR 3 final release will not overwrite the Beta it will install in its own folder.
    You need to supply some more info about what you have done so far.

  • Yosemite Beta tester

    I was part of the public beta test for Yosemite.  Since the general release, I still have the last beta build.  The app store doesn't offer an update on this computer.  Is this typical and do I have to just wait for the next update?
    Thanks!

    I wondered about this too and found the articles above via twitter. But today I get an email from Apple saying,
    Thanks for participating in the OS X Yosemite Beta Program. As you know, OS X Yosemite brings an elegant redesign, continuity features for using your Mac, iPhone, and iPad together, and major enhancements to the apps you use every day. And it’s now available for free from the Mac App Store.
    Get OS X Yosemite
    Please install the release version of OS X Yosemite. As a member of the OS X Beta Program, you will continue to be offered beta versions of OS X software updates on any Mac that you installed the beta on. However, if you prefer to stop receiving beta updates, please click here.
    So now I'm confused. Anyone have clarity?

  • Unable to claim 100G Free Space Partition after Deleting Yosemite Beta

    When I was running Mavericks I had a single large 500G volume (no partitions). The I installed Yosemite Beta on a 100G partition. After Yosemite was released it reinstalled over the Mavericks on Partition 1. When I tried to delete Yosemite Beta partition to reclaim the space to evert to original form - I have been stuck with a 100G Free Space partition that I can do nothing with  - neither make it into a usable volume to store data nor be able to merge it into the original partition. I am hitting up against the space restrictions dn desperate now - I have see Loner T do an awesome job with his advice on this forum for similar issues. Very grateful for help. I also purchase iPartition but it was a waste as it says that it does not have write access to the disk.

  • Interested in the Yosemite Beta?

    Here’s some advice for anyone who plans to participate in the “Public Beta” of OS X 10.10, also known as Yosemite. Some of this advice applies generally to any upgrade to a major update of OS X. A few items are specific to the Yosemite beta.
    1) BACK UP your entire computer, preferably more than once. If possible, at least one of your updates should be a bootable “clone”, such as those created by Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! A bootable clone will allow you to recover quickly to your old version of OS X if you decide that upgrading to Yosemite isn’t a good idea for you.
    2) Read the Frequently Asked Questions page (https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/faq), several times. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask.
    3) Read any other release notes that come with it, if any, several times. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask.
    4) You’re not supposed to ask questions about the beta software, even here. Per the FAQ, “don't discuss the pre-release Apple software with or demonstrate it to others who are not in the OS X Beta Program.” That means that if you have problems, except for help restoring your Mac to its pre-beta state, you’re on your own.
    5) This is specific to the Yosemite beta: If you have any documents in iCloud, such as from Keynote, Numbers or Pages, make a local copy and forget about synchronizing updates between OS X and iOS until iOS 8 is released.

    Yosemite Beta Program. Nothing will happen until the program begins. There is no software yet released. Once you filed to join you will not get anything from Apple until they have something to tell you.

  • Downgrade from Yosemite beta to Mavericks

    Hello. I have a macbook pro (2013) and I got so caught up in the new Yosemite beta being released that I downloaded it without making a backup. I know, stupid. Is there any way to wipe out my computer completely and start over with Mavericks?

    maybe the best is to restore from cero. But I try pied everything. No use
    thanks and yeah, I was stupid for upgrading this system
    That is the best idea, and Barney15E has provided the method for you to follow.
    Good luck.
