Right after I launched AI it prompted me to update my Java. They did note in the forums that after upgrading to OS X 10.10 you’ll have to update your Java in order to launch Illustrator, well that’s true. By now you could just imagine how much I’m taking good care of this baby.Īdobe officially announcing that Photoshop (and other CS apps) are working properly with Yosemite was all the reason I needed to upgrade. The only three separate times I tinkered under the hood is when I upgraded its RAM to 8GB, upgraded my SuperDrive into an SSD and when I replaced the battery. No major crashes, no BSoDs, never overheated, never got f*cked up by any viruses, never got serviced for being ‘unusable’. So far, this is my longest lasting, most reliable and most used computer ever. So far my unibody MacBook have housed a total of five Operating Systems: Snow Leopard (which came out of the box), Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite. Yes… five years old, that’s like 50 in human years. There’s also the fact that I was a little apprehensive about running Yosemite in my half a decade old Mac. I wanted to make sure that this time around my workflow wouldn’t get disrupted with such nuisance. With every new OS X upgrade comes a plethora of bugs, incompatibilities and patches for us graphic designers and our apps. The reason I’ve waited this long to have a taste of Yosemite is because of one primary reason… Adobe Creative Suite. I won’t be going through each of Yosemite’s features and highlights. First off, before you proceed in reading this post, kindly note that this ain’t an in-depth review of the OS. After waiting on the fence since its release last October 17th (UTC+8), I’ve finally given in to upgrading my MacBook to Apple’s latest operating system – the OS X Yosemite.
