Just upgraded my iMac. Took about 45 mins to download, 30 mins to install.

Some nice touches with different fonts etc. Looks ok. I like the notification side bar changes and the fact you can answer the mobile from the iMac. I cannot use hand off on my iMac as it is a mid 2011 and it has to be 2012 or newer.

Obviously iCloud Drive is now available, which is really good. I also like markup feature in mail where you can attach a photo or picture into a mail and the use markup to put circles, boxes, text etc on the picture at the click of a button. I am sure there is loads more but I need to have a play around.

Was ok in beta as it was obviously on a USB drive but having looked at how many business apps that are broken - and won't be updated - in Yosemite, I ain't touching it with a barge pole.

Should really rename it OSX Consumer.

Nope.4 attempts to download have come to nowt.I have loads of space and closed everything down so I don't know what the issue is. I did notice that the latest version only came out yesterday so maybe there is a bug. I think I'll wait a couple of days before I try again- it's not exactly mission critical.

Finally worked at the sixth or seventh attempt.Download took 25 mins and installation took 40 mins.It all looks pretty good and Palace fixtures are still in Calendar so everything must be OK.Oh, better check the wife's birthday...

Downloaded at first attempt - about 20mins and installation about 15 mins. All good. Not sure I like the dock...
I do like the way the toolbar and tab headers show the color of the underlying web page (come to think about it, is that new or am I just noticing it for the first time?)
Stuart, sounds like you need to upgrade your internet contract.

Lots of moaning but also a couple of potential solutions to the blurred font problem.

This one worked for me.

Preference>General Settings> uncheck "Font Smoothing for LCD" and restart the computer.

"LCD font smoothing makes fonts appear smoother by reducing jagged edges, but some people find that text appears blurry when font smoothing is turned on. Select this option if you want LCD font smoothing to be used in apps that support it. If you’re not sure which setting you prefer, try reading text on your screen with and without LCD font smoothing, and then choose a setting."

Strange so many differing opinions. I put the 10.10 final gold beta onto my MacBook Pro 13inch retina plus 24 inch Cinema Display and had smooth installation and no glitches - everything working including all my 'old' apps. Some upgrades subsequently came through with the main launch and so far I'm very pleased with Yosemite.

Anybody know of a cheap thunderbolt to USB converter? Can't find anything under £200. Both of my usb's don't work and it's not worth paying £300 I have had quoted to have fixed?

I know sourcing it in the US is not ideal but there may be a workaround to that....

Perfect thankyou. It is a little annoying as I only need it really to sync my phone, but that will save me a fortune as the rest of the laptop works perfectly.

Now the owner of a Macbook Air i7, 8gb RAM, 128GB memory. I only managed to upgrade it to Yosemite yesterday and both other iOS devices are running 7.1.2 until I find time to update them, so haven’t been able to work out the Continuity thing yet.

Any day one tips or advice? Things worth downloading etc. Also is the App Store actually worth exploring? For example, why not just use Twitter through Safari, why wouldn’t I?

The options and customisability is going to take some time to get deal with.

Beautiful bit of kit though, really high quality. I haven’t any issues with the screen not being Retina, as it seems very bright.

I want to attach my PS3 to my IMac, 2010 build.
So I reckon I'll need to find some sort of HDMI to MiniPort conversion cable.
Not much info on the net. Any Mac user have any ideas,

What do you want to do while connected? If streaming from one to another just get Plex or something similar like a DLNA app which is ideal for movies, music etc.

I'm an occasional gamer and also would like to play Blu Ray discs, so would basically use the IMac as a monitor. Been into Maplin today and they reckon it's not possible to do.

This might help (or might not)

Badically it is possible with pre-thunderbolt iMacs, but not with post
