Michal Ždanský At the WWDC 2014 conference in June, when introducing the new version of OS X, Apple promised that, in addition to developers, the beta version of the operating system would also be available to interested ordinary users during the summer, but did not specify an exact date. That day will eventually be July 24th. He confirmed it on the server The Loop Jim Dalrymple, got the information directly from Apple.
OS X 10.10 Yosemite is currently in beta for over a month and a half, Apple managed to release a total of four test versions during that time. The operating system is clearly not finished yet, some applications are still waiting for a Yosemite-style design change, and it was only in the third beta that Apple officially introduced the dark color mode, which it already demoed during WWDC. Yosemite represents the same design change that iOS 7 did for the iPhone and iPad, so it's not surprising that it will take some time to apply it to a large system.
If you signed up for beta testing, Apple should notify you via email. The developer beta version is downloaded via a unique redeem code, which Apple will probably send to interested parties outside the developer community. Just redeem the redeem code in the Mac App Store, which will download the beta version. Apple also said that public betas will not be updated as often as developer versions. The Developer Preview is updated about every two weeks, but regular users don't need to update that often. After all, it's not uncommon for a new beta version to come with as many bugs as it fixes.
Beta version updates will then also take place via the Mac App Store. Apple will allow you to update to the final version in this way, so there is no need to completely reinstall the system. The public beta will also include the Feedback Assistant app, which will make it easy to share feedback with Apple.
We strongly advise against installing the OS X Yosemite beta on your main work computer. If you insist, at least create a new partition on your computer and install the beta version on it, so you will have both the current system and Yosemite in Dual Boot on your computer. Also, expect that many third-party apps will not work at all, or at least partially.
Is there any possibility to install Yosemite on the second partition in such a way that the programs and settings from Maverick are preserved?
As far as I know, no. And even with perfect knowledge of grammar.
exactly!
It should work when using restore settings (migration assistant) from timemachine
Please learn Czech. I'm going to throw up
If we are Czechs and attack others for "slurring" the Czech language, please write these attacks with diacritics. If we like Czech, by all means. Thank you.
diacritics is something that is not often solved in the era of mobile communication via mobile phones, but totally disgusting rude things are still solved :) It was a nice shout, but somewhat unnecessary, Martin.
no need next time :)
I think that there is no need to attack people for making mistakes in sentences and making them yourself. It doesn't matter what mistake you make, if you criticize someone for not being able to do something and I'm not that much better at it (both primary school subjects), you look like an idiot rather you... If you want to show your love for your mother tongue and respect for its rules, speak and write without mistakes, in writing and with all the necessary details. Otherwise, it then reduces the weight of your objection and makes you at least appear humorous. This is the end of this debate, it is completely unnecessary and completely off topic of the discussion.
First of all, I think shouting in the dark without any contribution to the ongoing discussion was your first post!
I would also like to point out that if we point out to someone that they are making mistakes in sentences, it is quite embarrassing to make a similar mistake and leave out a single comma in the sentence. And moreover, not complicated and long.
yes, only an ox can really compare a comma and the connection "preserved by programs" :)
I have OS X Mavericks and at the same time Yosemite on another partition, just download Yosemite DP1 in Maverick, put a disk shell, partition the disk, put the downloaded DP1 into the applications and start the installation from there on the given partition. Then you will still have Mavericks with data, but if you can't I do not recommend! It only works with DP1, you can't move without udid.
"We strongly advise against installing the OS X Yosemite beta on your main work computer."
I would just like to add that I have Yosemite on two of the three computers (the main calculators) and except for the "nonsense" and the unfinished appearance, I didn't come across any hiccups or problems. From DP3 it is very usable (launching the Notification Center was a disaster - it twitched terribly) and from DP4 Safari is relatively smooth, but it still sometimes goes crazy - or, for example, Flash on YouTube sometimes does not load videos when skipping, etc.
One of the few things that really bothers me is when I have a disk on my desktop and I right-click on it, the menu appears after x seconds.
Since yesterday, I've been using iTunes 12 as well, and it works fine, but I can't add the sidebar anymore, they removed it hard, which really annoys me.
I can honestly say that I haven't tested the system in any way, but I'm just working on it and nothing has crashed so far *knock*, everything was able to run (only macports need compilation from source files) and so far no restart or kernel panic.
Did you have itunes 12?
it's a standard update in Yosemite
So is there a possibility to regnout somewhere so that I can test it too?
Registrations are here: https://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/
hmm .. so on the page there is only will be back ..
Is it true that only the first x users will get this option and that being signed to the beta does not mean that I will receive an email with the new os x today?
The first million registrants will get this option.
Thanks for the reply. I registered yesterday, so hopefully it will reach me :D Do you know if anyone has already received an email with the public beta?
I registered an hour after the keynote and still nothing :)
I registered about 5 minutes after the keynote and nothing. :D
Hello, I have a question about Mavericks. From time to time (several times a day) my Macbook will play a strange sound. It's hard to describe. Does anyone know what this is?
isn't it something like a quick flash? It should be about cleaning the mess from the RAM system... so I was once told...
That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
I'm already downloading Yosemite. I haven't received the mail yet, but I checked the Appleseed site. I logged in there and there was a link and a redeem code. So take a look so you don't needlessly wait for an email. ;)
this code has already been redeemed. even if I have the code that is written there ... TJW74RXAL69J may have been used up already ...
Haven't you tried it multiple times? Look in Purchases if it's not there. I downloaded it from there too, it didn't work the first time. To be sure, turn the App Store off and on so it appears there.
