Just upgraded.

They changed the color of the iTunes icon to red and it is amazing.

Anyone done a handoff of an outgoing phone call?

Can't. My MBP is mid-2011. All I get is phone calls, no handoff. Apparently, I can get sms texting, but not until 8.1 comes out.

My 2012 Macbook Pro has been stuck on this for about 45 mins now. I even tried restarting from the menu bar but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Just power it off and back on. Should be fine.

I'd manually shut it down and restart it at that point.

So the phone call thing won't work on my 2011 MBP?



I have a 2011 MBA and calls work great. I took a few incoming calls on it today.

Same here. Its almost like they were going for an OS X Leopard throwback. It's hideous.

Thinking about downgrading back to Mavericks. My cell is an android, so there wasn't much benefit to upgrading anyway.

Well that's a little harsh. But I don't particularly like it or the look of iOs7-8 for that matter. However all the new features vastly outweigh the negatives of the new look.

I'm getting used to the gui redesign, but I'm having a ton of problems with safari on both of my mac's.

I'm having a few also on my brand new Mac mini but none on my late 2013 iMac. Really odd. Haven't had time to investigate.

I don't know if y'all saw this, but there is a software tool for older macs to activate handoff and other continuity features that didn't work. Most macs need a hardware upgrade though, as well.

I installed it on my 2011 mac mini and 2011 MBA. Works great on both.
