Filip Novotny About a month after the release of the first public beta of OS X Yosemite, its next version arrives for user testing. Its content is very similar to the developer beta with serial number 6, which she came out this week. However, along with this, the public can also try the new version of iTunes 12.
The biggest changes took place on the visual side, most noticeably in the layout of the windows. Apple is preparing to ditch the tall bars at the top of various apps and instead is going to unify them, following the vision it showed at this year's WWDC for example for the Safari browser.
In addition, users will also find a number of new, flatter icons in the beta. The biggest changes can be observed in System Preferences, where Apple just replaced almost all icons of individual subsections according to the new style. The new batch of desktop wallpapers will certainly please you, thanks to which those around you can immediately know what system is running on your Mac.
Beta versions of OS X Yosemite are becoming more and more visually consistent, and general cleaning of the system is starting to move to individual applications as well. This time, Apple focused on iTunes, for which it prepared a number of perhaps smaller, but still noticeable graphic improvements. The update also brings new icons for each type of media and a new Recently Added view for All Albums.
Both OS X Yosemite and iTunes 12 updates can be downloaded by anyone signed into Apple's public beta test. If you are not registered in this program but are interested, you can do so at Apple website. Although the company has announced that it will only open the beta to the first million applicants, either the limit has not yet been exceeded or Apple has decided to ignore it for now.
Is iTunes smoother now? On the MacBook with Retina, I found that when there was a lot of music, it was not so smooth...
This is an irrelevant question - in betas the SW is compiled with various "goodies" to facilitate debugging. Just recompile the program as production without changing a single line of code and it will behave differently.
Question: does Office 2011 work for you? I read that they carried Yosemite in Public Beta 1. Thanks
They work normally for me from the first time.
OK thanks. So I'll probably decide to install it as well.
Don't worry, I haven't had a problem since PB 1 either.
it's just a pity that the current Developer Preview of OS X is 6 and not 4. I would probably like to fix it
why is it a specific skoda?
