VMD-L Mailing List

Hi,
  We have been made aware by a number of MacOS X Yosemite users that a
recent Apple update has created problems with VMD. At present we don't
have a workaround for the problem as it only affects certain Macs and not
others. Our lab doesn't have any of the Mac models that are affected, making
it impossible for us to reproduce the problem ourselves, at least up to this
point. We are hoping that Apple releases another software update that cures
this problem since it appears to be caused by changes they made to the OS
that affects certain Macs. If we come up with anything on our side, we will
make an announcement on VMD-L.

Cheers,
  John Stone
