    Anyone having issues downloading Yosemite today. Won't down load. Lots of errors. I am assuming it's diwn to capacity and volume.

    Took ages for me a few days ago, so I think they're just getting hammered with downloads at the moment.

    Been buttery smooth for me so far, no issues. Making calls from Mac through the iPhone is amazing, works brilliantly.

    I haven't tried this yet but do you need to keep Facetime open on the Mac to receive calls or will it automatically open up when a call is received? I don't like the idea of having to keep it open and have that green dot staring down at me!

    It'll automatically open, it just takes a couple of rings for the crosstalk to happen so there's a slight delay before it'll pop up on the mac.

    I tried making a call from my Mac last night and it kept failing. iPhone was unlocked, screen on and charging and in the same room, both connected to the same wifi network. Running the latest updates too. iPhone 6 and 2011 MBP.

    You don't have a dual-band wifi network by any chance? They both have to be on the same channel (2.4/5.0Ghz).

    I think I do but only use 2.4Ghz. Both are setup on the same network. The iPad often picks up calls, but afaik the Mac never has.

    Are you getting

    "# is not available for Facetime" ?

    That's what happens if the box in Facetime preferences to allow iPhone cellular calls isn't ticked

    Nope, in FaceTime I click call via iPhone and it tries to call but then says call failed or something along them lines. Haven't tested it fully yet but it wasn't working and never received a call the whole time I was on the public beta.

    Does anyone know of any problems running a SQL server of Yosemite ?. EG a local one.

    Would i see much of a battery and speed increase on a late 2013 Macbook Pro 15 inch Retina ?.

    I want to enable trim on my ssd but I've noticed a few people are having problems when they are doing this in Yosemite.
    Has anyone here done it?

    I tried the first public beta, wifi wouldn't detect a jot. I went back to Mavericks. Does anyone here have it on a 2008 machine? I've 4GB of RAM and an SSD. Haven't really had any issues with Mavericks, tbh.

    Same icloud on iphone and Mac, handoff turned on on both, same icloud on both, Bluetooth on on both (but not paired), same wifi... Doesn't work in either direction.... am I missing something?

    Does your Mac support handoff?

    Upgraded and my trackpad doesn't function fully. Well it does if I restart Safari but within minutes the scrolling functions stops working

    I've googled and seems to be a known issue on the forums. I guess there will be a fix within a few days.

    I have a MBA 2013 and iPhone 5 and have had no problems with this feature I have made a few calls and received them and it works really well. Is it the iPhone 6 that's the issue as a few have mentioned it not working with their iPhone 6. I don't see how it would though if it works with the older iPhone 5. Hopefully it will be sorted in the update.

    I think the problem is on the Mac side of things, I thought maybe it was my older 2011 MBP but it doesn't seem to be limited to older hardware. No biggie anyways, I'm curious to see if 8.1 makes any difference though.

    Had an issue with my external sound card when i updated to Yosemite, a quick install of the Mavericks drivers solved that problem and my soundcard works, and i've got the audio routed through my studio monitors.

    But when i make a phone call, the sound doesn't come through the soundcard? anyone having similar issues?

    Is there a standalone installer for Yosemite ? Would prefer a complete fresh install rather than an upgrade plus it would be handier to download in college where there is a better more reliable 'net connection/no allowance restrictions.

    What are my options ?

    Thanks

    If it were me, I'd be creating a bootable USB install drive....
