Does anyone else have a problem with bluetooth speakers after upgrading? Before, my Logitech speaker would be able to stream audio across my (1,200 square foot) house into the kitchen. Now it can't make the 10 foot distance from my office to my bedroom. Tried it last night and this morning, and there are huge gaps in the audio. Before I would only get like 1-3 second pauses every hour or so. Now I can't even listen to one song from iTunes. Between this and my iPhone 6, I'm starting to think Apple hates bluetooth. Or we got hit by a solar flare.

^^^ spaceweatherlive.com says nope, pretty quiet at the moment Remember when I was saying Time Warner TV wouldn't play in Yosemite, no matter which browser? Turns out it was just another of TWC's typical but suspiciously coincidental outages! CNN, Z-Nation, and Ghost Hunters are back, yay.

I'm a basic user of Alfred (I use it to open apps, switch apps and open files). Have any other basic users of Alfred dropped it altogether in favor of the new Spotlight features?

Binary Badger posted:^^^ spaceweatherlive.com says nope, pretty quiet at the moment Yeah, I'm starting to think there's just something wrong with both of Apple's new OSs (Yosemite and iOS 8). On top of this bluetooth problem, my laptop is also getting a fraction of the speed I used to when using the internet. Just did the speedtest.net test, and I'm getting two different speeds based on the computer. Windows 7 desktop (hardwired): DL 59 UL 6.7 Macbook Pro Retina (wifi): DL 11 UL 6.7 Streaming the audio via Airplay to my AppleTV last night was also unplayable. I'm pretty close to rolling back to Mavericks. EDIT: I just did some searching, and saw some reference to Wifi using 2.3GHz to 5GHz. I was using 2.3 and switched to 5. Now speed test tells me I'm getting 42 down at least. IUG fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Oct 17, 2014 |

Dark Mode on non-Retina external display: does the font smoothing look terrible to anyone else? Wonder if this is due to my aging Mini, or Apple just not caring too much about non-Retina.

Dark mode is cool, but it breaks the icons and the menus for some of my applications. Crashplan comes up as white test on white. Teamviewer does too.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Font smoothing issue would be my guess. Did you go into System Preferences/General and toggle on/off the "Use LCD Font Smoothing" checkbox and see if it makes a difference? (You can see the results instantly if a Finder window is open at the time) Good suggestion but that was the first thing I tried to no avail.

Other Yosemite quirks discovered on a 13" Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro: - Taking two minutes to shut down, most of which was spent in a black screen waiting for my Apple logo to turn dark. Happens one out of three shutdowns. - Starting up with no Notification Center or any other menu items, especially MenuMeters which as far as I know follows Apple guidelines 100%. - With no Safari extensions like ClickToFlash enabled, Safari randomly deciding it doesn't want to load a web page.

I seem to have the ability to get Notification Centre to stop anywhere I like, just a sliver, half open, you name it, it is happy to stay there and not scroll itself off screen:

2nd try: Is it possible to hide the tab bar in Safari in full screen mode? driving me crazy Also, is it possible to send photos from iPhone -> Mac ? I can Airdrop photos from my laptop to my phone easily, but I don't see how to do it the other way around.

Well poo poo. I just updated to Yosemite on my MBP, updated apps, and restarted my computer. Now after the screen with the Apple logo I see a greyed out circle with a slash through it. What the hell? e: Looks to be an issue with Trim Enabler. Fixed my issue but now I don't have TRIM enabled. Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Oct 17, 2014 |

Reduced transparency is nice except on the Dock, which just gets a crummy grey background. Dark mode then fixes that, except half my bar apps have unusable icons in that mode. Plus the dark mode looks kind of bad on my screen.

* Random super-long shutdowns (nearly 1 minute) instead of quick. I thought things were bad in 10.7/8/9. * I hate that the + button defaults to FULL SCREEN mode unless you hold the Option/Alt key. App Store: * Keeps asking me to tie bundled applications to my Apple ID. They are already tied to it. I tried signing out and then back in, rebooting, etc. * Notified me that there is 1 update available for Apple Remote Desktop. 3.7.2 from March 2014. I already run 3.7.2. When I try to update it says: "Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates." If I try to re-install 3.7.2 (manual download from Apple's site), it says I have a newer version installed (even though 3.7.2 is the latest). Other than that, things have worked well with 10.10.

The upgrade took less than 20 minutes on my MacBook Retina and over 2 hours on my 2011 iMac. Had all sorts of issues with updating my apps on the iMac too. I'm still having an issue that plagued me in Mavericks happen in Yosemite. Every so often the swiping back and forth on the mouse or track pad in order to go back/forward in a web page completely stops working. I've tried all the "remedies" that I have found online but can't figure it out. It's loving annoying though because the only way to fix it is a complete reboot. I run 2 additional monitors on my iMac and I'm seeing two new icons on the task bar of which every monitor isn't the one I'm using. One is a black circle, the other is a black box with a small horizontal black line at the bottom of it. Every time I try to click on one they completely disappear. Even if I just click on something in that monitor, they disappear. It's pretty distracting because when they flicker off the toolbar basically redraws itself. Anyone have any idea what these are or how to get rid of them?

On top of this bluetooth problem, my laptop is also getting a fraction of the speed I used to when using the internet.

There are a *ton* of things that could be causing interference. Not just channel contention from neighbors, but any baby monitors, non-WiFi wireless security cams, some cordless phones, microwave ovens (really). BT is *supposed* to be able to dynamically adjust, but there may just be that much noise in your RF airspace. E: If you have another computer/device to test the speakers and/or WiFi that would help. You can then see if it is, in fact, too much RF noise or if you need to call Apple Support. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Oct 17, 2014 |

Done with the Mailbox app for Mac beta. Went back to Airmail, upgraded to Airmail 2 in fact. Nothing really wrong with Mailbox per se, but it's a little...too simplified for desktop? I'll continue to use the iOS version though, works fine on a mobile device. Also a heads up for those that use Jump Desktop. 5.0 will have you run into issues if you have a lot of machines on your network with RDP or VNC ports. Currently beachballs when it gets overwhelmed from doing device discovery. Been sending emails to the devs since yesterday and already got something of a fix for now.
