  • "Since I installed Yosemite Public Beta 4, I have been running out of memory: it tells me to quit applications but doesn't actually succeed. Even with no applications running except Activity Monitor, Activity Monitor shows 5.98G of 6G memory in use. Is anyone else seeing this? I didn't have this problem with Yosemite Public Beta 3. Safe Boot does not help. Any other ideas?" MacInTouch 10/3
  • "I have noticed in the past 3-4 weeks that some incoming email messages are getting scrambled. A message in the sidebar list says it is from XYZ.com with a subject, but when I click on that message in the list what opens is a message from someplace else with a different subject. I look down the list and find a message from that other entity, click on it, and the message is the one from XYZ. I can't recall if this started happening before or after the 10.9.5 update, but it is annoying. Anyone else see this happening or have a suggestion how to fix it? I'm on a mid-2010 iMac. This does not happen in the iPhone mail app, so I know it's not something that's happening on the mail server." MacInTouch 10/3
