Am I the only one who thinks that Yosemite (10.10) should be released tomorrow (10/10/2014)? ~

Can you tell me how to do this?
iMessage and Facetime are the only things not working on my install.
Thanks!

Will we have the ability to upgrade our current OS X, or will we have to perform a complete, fresh installation?

Apple today released the sixth public beta of the upcoming OS X Yosemite to AppleSeed testers. The build number is 14A388b, which coincides with last week’s OS X Yosemite Golden Master Candidate 3.0 release for registered developers. Apple plans to provide final details on OS X Yosemite at the October 16th event, then release it as soon as later that date.

As has been said before, best practice is to backup your install.

What I try to do now as a matter of protocol is to clone the driver (typically an SSD) to another SSD and then work with the cloned drive. Either that or I use a USB HDD as a TimeMachine Backup drive to restore a backup to a fresh SSD (having already removed the previously working one with older OS).

Hopefully this process will continue to work well into the future.
