Apple Seeds Fifth OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite Beta to Developers, Public Beta Testers
Apple today seeded the fifth beta of OS X Yosemite to developers, almost a month after seeding the first OS X 10.10.3 beta and just a week after releasing the fourth beta to developers.
The new beta, build 14D113c, is available for registered developers through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store and through the Mac Dev Center. Yosemite Recovery Update 3.0 is also available.
With today's update, Apple has continued polishing the Photos for OS X app, and there are just two remaining known issues with the software, including an issue with favorites and a problem with missing thumbnails when restoring an Aperture-upgraded Photos library with Time Machine.
Earlier betas of OS X 10.10.3 have brought several new features to Yosemite, including the new Photos for OS X app. Designed to integrate with iCloud Photo Library, Photos for OS X is a replacement for both iPhoto and Aperture and is on track to see an early 2015 public launch. Reviews have suggested that while Photos is a suitable replacement for iPhoto, with more advanced tools and performance optimizations, it may leave professional users disappointed.
Along with the new Photos for OS X app, the first two OS X 10.10.3 betas introduced a redesigned emoji picker that consolidates emoji into a single page with clear labels, new diversified emoji and emoji skin tone modifiers, new flag emoji and updated emoji for the iPhone, iMac, and Apple Watch, and support for Google 2-step verification when setting up accounts in System Preferences.

When you have an OS as buggy as Yosemite, absolutely.
We're almost into April. When is it no longer "early 2015"?
The router is NOT the issue. I have an Airport Extreme with a 3TB HD. There is nothing wrong with it. ALL other betas connected just fine.
The two routers I connect to (a wireless-N Netgear and my school router), have shown this issue...ONLY with 10.10.3.
Wifi this, wifi that. Get another router.
Why did you sign up then :confused:? It is quite common for Betas to have bugs.
