So You want to install OS X Yosemite Beta

OS X 10.10

Anyone can join the OS X Beta Program and download OS X Yosemite 10.10 Developer Preview. The truth is that the current Developer Preview build is definitely not for you.

Why?

There are still tons of issues with this particular build. A lot of visual tweaks needed.

Should you still insist on installing OS X Yosemite 10.10 Developer Preview, do yourself a favor by installing it on a different drive than you working drive.

In four weeks we should see a much better build of OS X Yosemite Developer Preview.

Apple Releases iTunes 11.2. to Fix the Hidden “Users” Folder

iTunes 11.2.1

The Global nightmare is over!

In the early AM of May 17, 2014 Apple releases iTunes 11.2.1 to fix the hidden “Users” folder. After iTunes 11.2.1 is installed, “Users” folder is no longer hidden.

“Users” folder becomes hidden when the following conditions met:

  • OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 build 13D65 is installed
  • iTunes 11.2 is installed
  • “Find My Mac” is turned on

The “Users” folder could be made visible again by changing the visibility flag using the Terminal command:

sudo chflags nohidden /Users/

Users are finding out that even after the “Users” folder becomes hidden again after reboot.
