The Mac no longer forgets the settings made before reboot

A well-documented flaw initially made public by Softpedia, Notification Center in Yosemite suffered from a bug that caused the system to forget certain settings performed before a reboot of the system.

We described it as an “amnesia” bug where Notification Center would fail to register and save settings performed in the System Preferences panel. While any setting would be instantly applied, these settings would not be remembered after the computer was restarted.

We’re now happy to report that Apple has addressed this nuisance in OS X 10.10.1, the first maintenance and security update delivered to Yosemite customers everywhere in the world.

In addition to the Notification Center fix, 10.10.1 also reportedly addresses Wi-Fi connectivity, reliability when connecting to a Microsoft Exchange server, patches an issue that did not allow connections to remote computers using Back to My Mac, addresses a problem causing the Mac App Store to hide certain updates, as well as an issue that prevented Time Machine from displaying older backups. Numerous other bugs are also listed in Apple’s documentation.

Available as a free download from Apple Support Downloads, via the Mac App Store, and through trusty old Softpedia, OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite requires a Mac from 2007 or later and an Apple ID (in case you’re upgrading from Mavericks or an older Mac OS).
