New Apple computers are shipping with Yosemite. The IT Service Center will provide limited assistance with software and services running on Yosemite, but at this time, all Brown services do not work consistently with this operating system.
For those who are already using Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10), CIS recommends you apply Apple's 10.10.4 update. Details are available here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1820?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Known Issues
CIS is not aware of any issues with Yosemite that do not have a work-around described on the table below. If new issues arise as we continue testing Brown's software and services, updates will be provided on this page.
Compatibility Table
The table below describes software and services that were tested on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10):
- An "X" in the column titled "Works As Is" requires no special consideration to install, run or uninstall the software.
- An "X" in the "Exceptions" column means the software may be able to run with some user intervention. Notes for exceptions will appear in the "Comments" column.
- An "X" in the "Does Not Work" column means the software is not compatible with Yosemite.
Please note that all functions of applications may not have been tested. Testing of operating system updates are ongoing. Please report any functionality issues to the IT Service Center.
Installing some software may require gatekeeper to be disabled. See Apple's instructions for disabling gatekeeper: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290
