You're welcome. Sure it's been mentioned before but don't forget 'backups'.

Anyone know how to get Handoff to work?
Edit,
Ah wait. This is going to require bluetooth 4.0 isn't it..

Unfortunately my 2011 iMac (that I bought in 2012 grrr) doesn't support it.
Not once in history, was there OSX update where they wouldn't ruin font smoothing for non Apple devices.
Try using:
Code:
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain AppleFontSmoothing -int 4in terminal, returns font smoothing on on Apple devices to classic OSX Snow Leopard thin and crisp shape. If it's too extreme for you try replacing "4" in command with 3 or 2 or 1.
The default font in Yosemite is doing my head in, it's just so wide and gigantic everywhere, makes all menus very big. Lost masses of real estate in this upgrade. There is also too much grey on grey stuff. White buttons (back, forward in browser) on grey background look like they're unfinished.
Apple's penchant to garish fisher price IOS icon themes continues, everything is pastel greys and then "wham!" - have a dock in Cindy Lauper underwear pinks and blues.
Spotlight is ruined. It was such a good, unobtrusive tool, nicely tucked in the corner and now it's like a spam porn popup across the screen. Giant font on 27" monitor screams "You have won chance to invest in Nigerian Prince Bond scheme". Damn you Apple. It would make more sense to put it on top of "today" tab in notifications section, if anything.
Memory management looks much better than in Mavericks. kernel_task kept leaking like crazy on my Mac Pro for years, taking 5-10Gb of memory, now it looks fixed.
Black dots indicating opened apps in dock. WTF thought of that. Tiny LED light dot for open, black dot for hidden, you know it only makes sense. Do it, do it now Apple, before anyone notices, you can have this one for free.
I thought I would love dark mode, because I love Adobe colour schemes, but somehow I hate what Apple did in OSX. It's just too dark, with those giant fonts. I don't know, it would work perfect if it was semi transparent, or if you had control over shade and could make it dark grey, like Adobe/Final Cut?

Interesting how the default installation involves disk encryption by default.
While upgrading (today), the installer shown a popup that FileVault and Recovery Partition will not be available to me due to set up (my boot disk is four raided mSATA SSD's in PCI-e card). Which is odd, because Mavericks it upgraded had Recovery Partition (and I think FileVault was available). Early adopter blues I think.
2 weeks could have cost you millions
I'm shocked that he was doing this with crucial work. It's not the kind of thing you'd risk.
I think my rMBP battery lasts longer now.
Yosamite killed my Bootcamp win7... something to do with the extra system partitions in Yosamite.
Gone Parallels route now and though it ran the old Bootcamp partition fine I've virtualized it fully for backup purposes.

Im with you. Seems to get hot more often too (with fans), which it hardly ever did with Mavericks.
Edit: On my mbp.

I'm sure I've read that Bootcamp in Yosemite only supports Windows 8 now?
Just had a good read about Yosemite, I will be upgrading but the new features I was looking forward to playing with won't work on my machines
2010 Imac 27inch
2011 MBP
I guess I can live without continuity and answering calls on my iMac, never had them so won't miss them, but would have been cool none the less

Anyone having problems connecting to exchange? I wasn't able to do it in Mavericks either. TBH, I'm pretty sure it's something to do with how our exchange server or firewall is setup, but our network admin is next to useless with Macs.
If I bring it in to work and let it autodiscover the mail settings over our wifi it's great. As soon as I go home, it can't connect. I've tried copying settings from PCs and even the iPad but nothing seems to work.
