I have no idea why people use it.

As a user and abuser, for me it works.

not a fan that the green icon on the 'traffic light' now defaults to switching the app to full screen rather than just maximising the window, need to find out how to tweak that. Graphics seem a little glitchy to switch back too.

Only minor annoyance so far.

Fine on my 2012 imac, but on my Macbook air iTunes refuses to update, it says it has, but then says to update again. Done this 5 times!

You can hold Alt while clicking it. Not read anything yet about a way to reverse the default behaviour.

All fine and upgraded on my 2013 MBA. Rather like it, although the blue folder colour could do with being toned down a bit.

Oh and Vmware fusion 5 and 6 don't work on it, but luckily I had bought 7 for the air so just installed that on the imac as well.

I like Safari. I use that and Chrome and generally prefer the former for everything but working on sites.

As for Yosemite, I like it an awful lot on my 27" iMac, it's very clean and crisp looking. Not played with it enough to have picked up on much beyond that but I like it.

Got it on my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. All good so far. Yet to see if handoff works as well onto the Macs as it does between my iPhone and iPad.

I have a mid 2007 iMac with 2GB of RAM, which is the minimum required spec.

Has anyone installed Yosemite on a similar spec machine?

I didn't go from Mountain Lion to Mavericks as lots of people reported dire performance issues.

I don't wan to cough up for extra RAM as it is such an old machine - anyone tried it with this spec that can advise on the performance etc.?

Just down loading it now.... I don't understand why Apple want you to sign in to their stupid app store for a free upgrade..... oh well will see how it goes.

No problem here. Time machine showing what it should, MS Office working. Only had to re instal BIONC.

Edit. Dasha nd darn it, CCCloner needs updating to version 4, at a cost.

Damn, I'll have to update that too.

Anyone with a time capsule?, after an update does yours have to do a big backup my MBA is currently doing 25GB and mac mini 280GB gonna be here for ages.

The latest iTunes is much better imho

Switching between MUSIC and Playlists is 2nd nature already and artwork and viewing by date added etc. is a welcome return.

[Leithen]

Seems good... not sure about the folder blue however....

Just finished upgrading.... I am running a 2010 Macbook Pro so I think I am reaching the limit of usability, but it looks great so far and certainly looks more up to date than the previous os.

I also have a 2007 iMac but with 3gb RAM - and it copes OK, I do get the spinning beach ball occasionally but on the basis of this evening's usage not as often as I did with Mavericks.

I did not expect Yosemite to run on a 7 year old iMac and was going to use this as an excuse to get a MacBook Air. On the basis of this evening, the iMac is still usable so I'll stick with it for a while longer. Pleasantly surprised.

I don't know how it would be with 2gb RAM but I would say go for it, and maybe shell out for more memory. It isn't that expensive and it will breath new life into your machine and let you squeeze a couple more years out of it.

Mid 2011 iMac and its, well, great. More modern, stable, quicker

Only bad thing is that my Mac is too old to support Hand Off. Annoying

[Alucidnation]

A 2011 iMac is too old??

I guess that means my early 2009 MBP won't support it either

[audi321]

Can I upgrade from anything (lion) or do I have to be on Mavericks first?

[beanbag]

I love it. Install took 20 minutes and I've got a brand new Mac! (again)
