OS X Yosemite Public Beta Guide
Thank you for test-driving the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Public Beta with the new Photos app. Now OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 is available for all Mac users. Please update from the Mac App Store and continue to provide feedback to help us improve our software.
OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
Featuring the all new Photos for Mac
All-New Photos for Mac
All new for OS X Yosemite, Photos is built for how we take pictures today. With an iPhone always in hand, more people are taking more pictures than ever before, and photo libraries are growing larger too. With a gorgeous new design, Photos keeps your growing photo collection organized and makes it easy to find just what you’re looking for. And because it’s been engineered from the ground up for today’s large photo collections, navigating your library feels incredibly fluid, with smooth animations and intuitive gestures.
Photos works seamlessly with iCloud Photo Library, so you can automatically upload your lifetime’s worth of photos on your Mac to the cloud—along with the selfies, slo-mos, and snapshots from your iPhone—and view them on all your Apple devices and on iCloud.com. Editing your best photos is easier than ever with a comprehensive set of simple yet powerful editing tools. iPhoto libraries upgrade seamlessly into Photos, so getting started is quick and easy. It’s all built right into your Mac with OS X Yosemite.
Getting Started with the OS X Public Beta
If you are new to the Apple Beta Software Program or you would like to enroll another Mac, click here for details on how to enroll your Mac to receive beta updates. When a new public beta becomes available, it automatically shows in the Mac App Store from the Updates pane. Update to try out the beta and report any issues you find using the built-in Feedback Assistant application.
Before you install beta software, be sure to back up your Mac using Time Machine. The public beta software is still in development, which means some applications and services may not work as expected. You should not install beta software on production or business-critical systems. We strongly recommend installing on a secondary Mac, or on a secondary partition on your Mac.
Enroll your Mac to receive beta updates to OS X Yosemite
If you participated in the OS X Beta Program before OS X Yosemite was released, you are automatically enrolled to receive beta software updates. If you are new to the Beta Program, or you would like to enroll another Mac, follow the instructions below.
Back up your Mac.
Please note that you are about to install beta software. Always back up your data and files before installing beta versions of OS X. If you have multiple Macs, we recommend installing OS X Yosemite Beta on your secondary computer. Backing up files on a Mac is easy with Time Machine, the built-in backup utility in OS X.
Download Software.
Click on the "Download Beta Access Utility" button below. This will download the YosemiteBetaAccessUtility.dmg. Open the disk image, then double-click the package to run the installer and enroll your Mac for Beta Software updates.
Update your Mac.
The Mac App Store will automatically launch and display the Updates pane. There may not be any beta updates available at this time. If there are, click the Update button to install the available updates. If not, you will be notified by the Mac App Store when they are available.
