Official OS X Yosemite Thread

Applescript is now a nightmare. I remotely control volume, etc, via applescripts. There is an approximately 6 second lag every time a command is issued (even from a compiled applescript app). On 10.9 the lag was less than 1 second. WTF?

Mytek USB drivers won't seem to load under Yosemite.

[kennyb123]

I found a workaround to get the Mytek USB drivers to load. I had Trim Enabler disable the kext-signing requirement. More details here: http://www.cindori.org/trim-enabler-and-yosemite/. This can be considered a short term fix until Mytek posts drivers that satisfy the kext-signing requirement. It may be a good fix for other drivers that fail to load.

 

The only reason I had Trim Enabler make this change is because Trim Enable can also turn it back on and I didn't want to mess with Terminal.

No boot from SD card with Yosemite clean install after CAD script enabled.

[kurb1980]

So after the update to Yosemite no trim support for non apple SSD so I tried Trim Enabler and worked great. Well almost witin 12 hours I restarted my CPU few times and then got the grey screen as outlined in the cindori.org etc. So I'm guessing that there is not current patch for this and we will have to wait for permanent fix? So for now I'm running without Trim support so hopefully it will be addressed soon.

Is anyone else using either a Weiss DAC2 or Minerva?

My firewire drivers don't work now and the OS can't see the DAC.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.

I've emailed Weiss and I'm waiting to hear back.

 

 

I'm running a Weiss AFI-1 (firewire only) and have completely lost connection to it.

Yosemite simply can't see it.

What a bummer.

Daniel Weiss wrote me that the DAC2 has a problem with Yosemite which will be fixed by a new driver next week.

 

Obviousley they are surprised by new OS like every time. Apple seems to gives them only short note.

Daniel Weiss should know better, he is a Pro!

The Yosemite trial has been around for months, so there is no excuse for at least not alerting customers and communities like ours.

Mmmm, everything seems to play OK on my Mac Mini with the new OS, not sure on sound yet.

But now my Apple remote control will not work and there is no option at all under 'Security & Privacy / General / Advanced' for any infra-red stuff, but these are available on my iMac?

 

Anyone any ideas?

 

In answer to my own question and thanks to puremail on the Apple forum

 

"Downloading and installing the alternative Candelair Controller Driver helps to solve the problem.

Under System Preferences you will find a new icon to configure the IR receiver."

Synology cloud station works for me.

Dear friends,

 

I've updated my Imac to Yosemite, and all is running well at the moment, except that I cannot anymore adjust the volume (with the top right loudspeaker icon) like I did before for headphones listening (Audirvana, Itunes integrated mode, Direct mode, Volume limitation 100%... I get volume (based on Audirvana knob setting - in my case Max), but it is at least half the volume I got before churning to Yosemite.

Please do notice that the (system) upper right volume icon is fully operational with whatever other application but Audirvana (V1.5.10)

If you have some hints about this, and how (if possible) to solve, advice very welcome... ;-)

 

Kind regards from France

Pascal

[PGRPGRPG]

Have found an satisfactory answer by myself, but don't understand why.

In Audirvana Volume settings, I've replaced Mode2 by MBIT+ , and volume is back again at the right level... For me, this means that YOSEMITE might interfere with Audirvana dithering...

Always no impact from core system volume icon, but if I remember well, that was already the case before Yosemite.

Sorry for having made Q&A in a so short time, but if it can help ... ;-)

My previous assertion about Applescript being slow was wrong.

 

The underlying cause in fact is some sort of local DNS bug that has bit me now in two different ways. The first, which is just an annoyance, is that the names of my computers kept changing from Computer to Computer (2) to Computer (3) and so on, every time they awaken and try to re-join the network. My workaround was to assign them static IP addresses in my Airport Extreme.

 

This one is a little worse.

 

If I issue a command like this:

 

curl -s 'http://redeye_f0142-526785.local:8080/redeye/rooms/0/devices/71/commands/send?commandId=612'

 

It takes 6 or 7 seconds to resolve. Since this is to turn the volume down, it is a big problem.

 

(Oddly, when the equivalent command is issued from my web browser, it doesn't have this problem, but the server for that page is still running 10.9.5.)

 

Substituting the numerical static IP address speeds it back up to less than 1 second (how it behaved before the 10.10 upgrade).

 

I also noticed that every wireless network I joined on two recent trips has been dumped into my iMac's "known network" list and there is no way to turn off this stupid irritating pointless "feature" some twatwaffle at Apple thought I couldn't live with out.

Synology cloud station works for me.

 

What version Synology Cloud Station are you using on your OS X Yosemite? Also, what version is on your Synology?

[DanRubin]

this stupid irritating pointless "feature" some twatwaffle at Apple thought I couldn't live with out.

Sounds like Bill mar be ready to switch teams.

[wgscott]

Nah. Not to Microsoft. But why would I want hotel wireless networks in Washington DC and Palm Springs dumped into my home computers?

Because they LOVE you and want to HELP you.

There is a checkbox named 'Remember networks this computer has joined' in System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi. Have you tried unchecking it?

[wgscott]

I'll go back and look. But since that computer never could have joined those networks, the question remains ...

Do you have an iPhone or other iOS device that you took to those locations? iCloud. I notice that my iMac knows all the wifi networks my iPhone has ever connected to.

[wgscott]

Yeah, it turned out I plugged my iPad into it after I updated and it tried to use it as a wired "mobile hotspot." I think it transferred the information then.

Does iTunes 12 require Yosemite? Will it also run under Mountain Lion? The reason I ask is that I know from the past that once you allow a new iTunes version to update your media library database files, an older version of iTunes won't open that library. This is a problem for me as I often like to open and update, add ripped or downloaded albums, etc., my master music library from my desktop machine as opposed to doing it on my headless music mini.

 

I'd like to install and test Yosemite (versus Mavericks) on one of my music computer's spare partitions, and of course I can first back-up the library files on the shared volume. But if I like it, then it may mean I will also have to take the time to jump forward to Yosemite on my desktop machine (still happily running ML). When iTunes 11 came out under Mavericks, it also worked for ML so that was no problem. But I am guessing that is not the case with iTunes 12.

And I don't suppose iTunes 11.x will run under Yosemite, will it?

 

Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, I was able to upgrade to ITunes12 while downloading the installer for Yosemite. Try your software updates and see if ITunes12 appears there.

Open the terminal, then type:

 

sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"

 

 

 

After a reboot it should work.

I don't know about Yosemite, but in Mtn Lion you can untick the checkbox "Remember networks this computer has joined" in OS X Prefs > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi.
