OS X 10.10 Issues

This webpage will show incompatibilities and issues that users at Iowa State may have with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Please send incompatibilities and issues you have encountered that will affect the ISU Community to the macosx-admin@iastate.edu mailing list.

Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client

The web-based installation fails. To install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client, you need to download the installer package, by clicking on the “Mac OS X 10.6+ Intel” link.

Fetch

Download Fetch 5.7.4. Fetch 5.7.4 is a bug-fix update to Fetch 5.7 that fixes a number of small bugs, including a couple of cosmetic issues with OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

FileVault

FileVault bug makes Yosemite pause or hang at login

Gatekeeper

Gatekeeper was a new feature in OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion that builds on OS X’s existing malware checks to help protect your Mac from malware and misbehaving apps downloaded from the Internet.

Gatekeeper applies to apps downloaded from the Internet. Apps from other sources, such as file servers, external drives, or optical discs are exempt, unless the apps were originally downloaded from the Internet. Gatekeeper’s default option is to only allow you to run downloaded apps that come from the Mac App Store and identified developers.

ITS helper apps and installers are not currently signed to bypass Gatekeeper. However, there is method that you can use to open these apps. See the section titled “How to open an app from a unidentified developer and exempt it from Gatekeeper” from this Apple article for details: OS X: About Gatekeeper.

Microsoft Lync

Signing in to Microsoft Lync may fail repeatedly. If this happens to you, see Lync for Mac (OSX Yosemite) Sign-in Fails Repeatedly. When they tell you to go to ‘settings’, they really are referring you to go to ‘System Preferences’.

OpenAFS

The functionality that ‘allow-weak-crypto’ in the Kerberos config file tries to achieve, will no work on OS X 10.10, because Kerberos on Yosemite removes the support for 1-DES encryption types.

If you need to use AFS on OS X, do not upgrade to OS X 10.10.

PaperCut Client

The PaperCut Client needs a java runtime. No java runtime is installed by OS X 10.10. To install Java, go to Download Java for Mac OS X.

tn3270 X

Update to tn3270 X 3.4.
