OS X Yosemite: Wi-Fi issues persist, second beta update rolls out for developers

New OS X Yosemite interface Apple

A week after Apple rolled out the official OS X Yosemite to desktops and laptops in October, the operating system was already under fire due to different bugs and issues. These issues discouraged a lot of users from downloading the new operating system or prompted those who tried the new OS to revert back to the previous version of the software. 

One of these prevalent issues found in the OS X Yosemite is related to the Wi-Fi connection in which devices fail to connect. Other users reported that the Wi-Fi connection is very slow or it constantly gets disconnected. 

Then, the Cupertino-based company rolled out the OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on Nov. 17, which is the first update of the desktop OS, in an attempt of fixing the issues. However, instead of bringing bug fixes, issues like the Wi-Fi problem continue to persist. 

Affected users continue to post their complaints in Apple's forums or to take out their frustration to social media as Apple remains mum about the issue. 

Latest reports claim that Apple delivered the beta version of a second major update of the OS to developers. However, it is still unclear whether this version of the Mac OS X Yosemite will resolve the Wi-Fi issue as Apple did not specify the problem areas that developers should focus on upon testing the new OS beta update. The tech giant also has not confirmed the exact release date of the official version of the update. 

Meanwhile, this is the first time that Apple released beta versions of the Mac OS to the public so that developers could test it out. Developers who will act as beta testers are required to comb the OS of bugs and potential risks in the unofficial software. Moreover, beta testers sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to prevent confidential information from leaking out to the public. 

However, Apple has denied to comment on the OS X Yosemite issues as well as when it will deliver fixes to the bugs.
