Re: answering calls on the mac?

Re: having

Hi Adrian. In the future, can you please make your subject lines more specific? If you only have one word subjects like this, people might delete the message. Now as for your question, I've had this problem too. Just keep trying until it installs. I had to do it three times myself before it inst

Re: answering calls on the mac?

Re: VO and lag on Yosemite

Hi all I can tell you that during the developer previews and public betas the lag has been always there somewhat. I did both a clean install and an update on a secondary partition on my internal disk with the same results. This was on a late 2011 Macbook Pro 13 with 4 GB of RAM. It's tolerable
