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.

  • 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!

    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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • After installing Yosemite beta on external drive, Mavericks doesn't startup from the internal drive

    Hi,
    After I installed OS X Yosemite Beta on my external hard drive, my Macbook Pro no longer recognises and boots from the Mavericks partition on my internal drive. instead, it starts up the Yosemite installer even when the external drive is not connected.
    And when holding the option key during startup, it shows 2 partitions: "OS X Installer" (that I've not created) and "Recovery-10.9.5". However from the system preferences in Yosemite, the partition is shown as a startup disk. and also i can see the Macintosh HD partition and its contents in Yosemite.
    Any idea how to make it boot normally when turning on the macbook? any help appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    Go to "System preferences"
    Click on " Boot-up Disk" (4th row)
    Select the disk you want to boot
    Restart the computer

         If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different.  In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients.  It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer.  I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
         I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
    The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
    First:
    ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
    (example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
    Second:
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
    After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.

    Assuming your rig can support virtual machines, you can use Hyper-V and run another OS there.
    Better practice however is to use a dedicated machine and use remote desktop to the server.

  • How to install ios5 beta dmg on iphone 4?

    Hello
    i have paid for the developer account, and i got my permission to download the ios 5 beta and also itunes 10.5. So i did that and i downloaded itunes and installed it. no problems. I downloaded also tje ios5 for my iphone 4. But here the problems begin, i have a dmg file with ios 5 and not a ipsw file.
    So what can i do .....
    Thx a lot for your help

    For god boys!!!!
    His question is so simple!!!!
    It's not about iOS 5!!!!
    It's about how to install beta OS via iTunes...
    Look fkaulmann,
    1. Double click on .dmg file. Copy the .ipsw to your file system.
    2. Open iTunes, connect your device, hold option key (alt) and click on "restore", a window will comes up, select the .ipsw file.
    3. Follow the instructions of the iOS you are attempting to install.
    Just it.
    But, as the Michael said...  for more details about Apple beta releases, go to the Dev Forum.

  • 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?
    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?

  • I'm running 10.10. How do I remove OS X Yosemite Beta 4 as an update in App Store?

    I'm running 10.10. How do I remove OS X Yosemite Beta 4 as an update in App Store?
    ++++++
    I ran a few versions of the Yosemite Beta, but once it went public, I upgraded to the latest public version, and have continued to do so.
    I'm currently running OS X 10.10 (re-confirmed by just checking About This Mac), but my App Store keeps showing me Yosemite Beta 4 as an available OX update for me to install?
    How do I get this removed from my App Store upgrade tab?
    -Rick

    Hi Rick,
    When you resign from the Beta program, give it some time for the system to update. I am sure, that if you check again a day later you would have been removed.
    Have you removed the Feedback assistant?
    Have fun with the Mac
