I'd be curious if anyone with an older MacBook, model late 2008 aluminum will be upgrading?

I have not loaded it on my older Macs yet, but it runs exceedingly well on my late 2013 retina. The speed is borderline criminal, especially how fast it boots. It has a very clean, crisp look and I am very pleased so far. I have loaded almost all of my apps and haven't ran into a problem yet.

Keep me posted if you do take the plunge. I'm not in a hurry. Actually the only reason even considering it is I will be eventually upgrading from iOS 7.x to 8.x [waiting for jailbreak].

Right now it is taking forever to download, and I'm on lightning fast connection. It's been stuck at 28-31minutes remaining for over half an hour.

Am posting this from my aluminium mid-2009 MBP, it worked fine.

Did my MB Air earlier today and it went fine too, except for the iTunes 12 update to 12.0.1 which forever kept showing as an app for download. I downloaded it four times before I found the solution (google ;)) which was to go to the iTunes site and do a manual download.

All working well all round so far. Haven't done the iMac yet as it is in another country.

It took hours for each one as my download speed is about 5MBps!!

Proceed with caution. This trashed a bunch of things.

My access to the Outlook mailbox is all messed up - regaining access threw a bunch of errors that were spurious, but the bad problem is that the WIFI is now completely unreliable. It drops the access every few minutes and then when it comes back I need to go all the way back through the password entry to log back in.

Everything is very slow to respond.

How do I uninstall??

Yeah I'm seeing loads of problem reports on Macrumors, etc. I'm gonna wait for the bug fix release.

I got it and I love it. Design upgrade is sleek (& much needed). I've experienced none of the buggy issues reported on Mac forums.

Really happy I updated!

My 2014 air is running fine. Actually faster in some things!

I have a few Pro's at the office I work at (2009/2011), and a 2011 air. The 2011 will takie the plunge first.

Ironic that i am typing this on a 2004 powerbook with a kernal panic... bahaha.

My whole computer is running faster. Just my .02 cents.

FWIW I'm running a 2014 MacBook Air.

How can you tell? My 2013 MB Air running Mavericks isn't slow in any tasks. I'm not sure how I would notice any increase in speed.

Lately Safari and Mail have been running annoyingly slow...as in, almost took it into the shop. Ditto basic Finder functions.

Upgrade noticeably fixed that.

My 2014 runs slow on Mavericks so will wait for a while so Apple can iron out the bugs. Can't leave it too long or they'll make Mavericks redundant.

I have problems trying to run Dreamweaver on earlier Mac versions so need to keep XP going. Does anyone run Dreamweaver on their Mac?

robroy90 Oct 18, 2014 1:21 pm

For those of you experiencing problems, did you do an in-place upgrade or did you do a clean install? I will almost never upgrade over the top unless there are some extenuating circumstances. I have had zero problems, and only had to update a few of the utilities I use, such as NTFS for Mac, etc.

Went fine on my Son's 2011 17" MBP. I am with you on iOS. I am staying on 7 because I can't live without a jailbreak.
