I like most of the features. But I'm struggling with the icons. I feel like it's a Fisher Price "My First Computer."

Just updated the iPhone to iOS 8.1 and linked it to the Mac for SMS. Still can't get the Mac and iPhone to see each other in AirDrop though.

I can get texts on my MBP with Mavericks using messages...it's not handoff, but I can get them on both devices using that application. Possibly just my iMessages through my iCloud account
So it's through iMessage?
not SMS?
Does Yosemite have Siri?
you can do SMS now too though.It is through iMessage (meaning, you can only text people who have iPhones). It is pretty nifty!

i dug around google. You have to use iMessage, and all your apple products have to be on the same wifi network for it to work as SMS. and SMS will be green bubble, iMessage will be blue bubble.Is it through the Messages app? Mine seems to only do iMessages, but maybe I am not looking in the right place.

Kind of pointless if ya ask me. My iPad is LTE, so why do I need to be on a wifi for me to send SMS messags with it.
same carrier as my cell phone.
I think because the SMS has to actually be deposited onto the cell network by your iPhone. My understanding is that wifi acts as the conduit by which SMS from ipad, iPod or Mac gets to your phone and then is spit out into the cell network. The LTE ipad has its own unique phone number. I think being able to text directly without routing through the iPhone would cause issues. That is to say messages out would show the caller ID of the ipad and messages in wouldn't get delivered unless the sender knew the phone number of your ipad.
We've had iMessage on the Mac for a while, so messaging to/from any iOS device on the Mac. Only now with Yosemite and iOS 8.1 the iMessage app on the Mac can now send/receive SMS - as far as I can tell though, the iPhone still needs to be present to relay the SMS in the same way we can initiate/receive phone calls via the Mac. This hasn't been made particularly clear by Apple I don't think. Maybe someone can correct me here.

Any performance comparisons to Mavericks? My wife has a 2011 MBP and it slowed down a ton when we installed Mavericks...very disappointing. I'm hoping that Yosemite helped optimize and streamlined things.
