Ondrej Holzman Apple has released the third public beta of OS X Yosemite, its new desktop operating system. At the same time, he released the eighth Developer Preview in a row to developers, which comes two weeks after the previous version. There are no major news or changes in the current test builds.
Developers and users who signed up for the AppleSeed program and can also beta versions of the new operating system for Macs have new beta versions available for download in the Mac App Store. The final version of OS X Yosemite should be released in October, but Apple has not announced the official date yet.
The only changes discovered so far in OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 8 include a request from the Notification Center regarding the permission to use the current location for Weather and a change to the navigation buttons for Settings. New are back/forward arrows and a button with a 4 by 3 grid icon to display all items.
there is no BETA3 on the AppStore yet
But it is, double-click the Updates icon.
I don't even have it in CZ - USA
I'm afraid I'm downloading the update for 30 minutes. Final oops
so I don't have the option to update beta 3
It is true that the first 1 GB downloaded quickly, but the last 0,67 GB took a long time to download.
in DP preview 7 photoshop and indesign started to crash... In DP 8 it was obviously solved...
I have BETA 2 installed and after checking for updates it offered me and started downloading OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 7 1.0 so I better abort it. Please do you know if this is a bug or is it supposed to be like that….?
...logging out of the AppStore and restarting didn't help. It still offers from public BETA 2 an update to Developer Preview 7 1.0. So I don't know... Does anyone have the same problem (MBP 13 with retina, late 2013)
The same problem, but it was solved on foreign forums. Beta 3 is not visible under Updates, but under Purchases.
Thanks, I'll try it... I'm currently at work on 10.9., so I'll try it when I get home. Otherwise, I read that it should probably be BETA 3….
Problem:
When I'm trying to download the new Public beta 3, the Mac App Store prompts me to update to Developer Preview 7 1.0 instead.
What should I do?
Answers:
Download it. It is really PB 3. It is just mislabeled.
Update. According to a bunch of posts in the news thread about DP8 and PB3 the "Developer Preview 7" offered in those circumstances turns out to be PB3.
I let it finish and everything seems to be working ok. The battery icon in the top status bar has changed. Mail stopped eating 100% of the CPU. The Czech texts that flowed from the dialogues now look ok.
I don't know if it's just me, but I think there are new icons in the calendar notifications.
