Has anybody downloaded OSX Yosemite yet? does Maya 2015 (latest service pack) work?
Apologies for the inconvenience. When a patch or hotfix becomes available we'll be sure to give notice. Thanks for your patience!
Hi Ross,
There should be a notification for Subscription customers yes. We'll also be promoting here on the forums, on twitter and Facebook, as well as the Autodesk Knowledge Network.
I don't know if this has been answered yet. Sorry if my post is redundant.
I just performed a fresh install of Yosemite on my Mac Pro 4,1 (2009). I installed Maya 2015 Student Version successfully.
I also was able to install VRay 2.0 successfully. I rendered a few, simple test frames with VRay successfully. I have not performed
any extensive testing, but both Maya 2015 and VRay 2.0 are working in Yosemite so far.
So sorry for the late reply. I am running vray license server on Yosemite.
Again, I have not tested anything extensively, but should be doing quite a bit
of rendering approaching this weekend. I will report back with any issues I find
over the next few days.
Hello Jessica,
I'm running Maya 2012 and Yosemite and have discovered that while most processes have continued to work in Yosemite, Batch Render will not render Mental Ray. Script Editor shows the render begins and after a few seconds it will say Render Complete, without producing any files. Taking the same file to a machine without Yosemite will render fine.
Is it likely any hotfix or patch will cover Maya 2012 compatibility as well?
I believe this is a legacy Mac bug not related to Yosemite. You just have to turn off Wifi before you do a Batch Render and it should work.
I'm just guessing it is trying to connect to a server during the Batch Process and so the screen just hangs. At least I've run into this issue before and dismantling the Internet connection seemed to work - ( * my Maya is on a laptop - hence the Wifi solution ).
I do not know if my problems with Maya now are Autodesk based, Yosemity based, or compatibility problems. But I have been running into two problems regularly now. First my system specs are a Macbook Pro 15 inch Mid 2012, with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics card and 8 gig ram. I have Yosemity with all updates current, and running Maya 2015 student edition with sp5.
First problem is Maya keeps using all avalible ram, which of course crashes the system. This is hapening most of the time while wieght painting, and after about 1 hour of work.
Secondly, anytime I try to snap to vertice, paticularly when trying to snap the pivot point to a vert, Maya acts like it's trying to autosave, then crashes.
If this is a compatibility problem, please tell me, and please let me know when the new service pack is out. If not, please help...
sorry about spelling in this post.
Maybe try installing Mountain Lion? Forums say Moutain Lion has been the most stable build with Maya.

Thanks for the info, but this discussion is about Maya. Do you have any info about Maya 2015 - MacOS 10.10.x Yosemite compatibility? If there is no planned Yosemite compatibility with Maya 2015 then do you have a eta on Maya 2016?
I don't understand your post. the last two posts were about maya compatability. Speificaly how to fix my compatibility issues...
In regards to the issue about Maya 2015 student SP5 not installing on a mac with Yosemite 10.10, I was able to solve my issue by reinstalling maya.
I read one of the responses said to turn off wifi on the machine first.
I did and then uninstalled maya, then proceeded to do a new install and it worked. I started wifi again and it still works normally.
Thank you everyone for the solution.
I hope this helps.
