To clarify... this is happening on Windows 7 running home version MMA 10.1 and on a Mac running Yosemite OSX and MMA 10.1.

Hi,

I have added that to my "issue report" regarding Mathematica 10.1.

Cheers,

Marco

I think that this may be a bug introduced with version 10.1 (which I believe Wolfram Desktop is based on). It could also be an issue with the paclet updates that Wolfram periodically feeds -- the latter is just a speculation, but it might account for some people seeing a 'magic' resolution to the problem.

It's odd that the Desktop session (sometimes) doesn't load with EntityFramework, though. Theoretically, all Cloud sessions should be provisioned with all default packages loaded.

Ah, thanks. Executing Get["EntityFramework`"] fixed the problem for me.

There is a thread about problems with EntityValue[] and related functionality.

Some people are having luck by executing Get["EntityFramework`"]

which may resolve the problem, if only temporarily. Other people have had the problem only to have it disappear due to some voodoo. I had the problem with Mathematica, and it went away 'by magic'. See the other discussion for details.

Tech support is aware of the problem for Mathematica 10.1. Someone should file a bug report for the cloud and Wolfram Desktop -- I would do it, but I do not use these products.

I'm running MMA Home Edition v10.1.0 on OSX Yosemite and I can confirm that none of my EntityList commands are evaluating either. For example, EntityList["River"] just returns EntityList[River].

Thanks Jesse.

I've installed Wolfram Desktop on three different machines (all Macs running 10.10 Yosemite) and have had the exact same results on both. There really is no "install" process for the Mac app. You download the app and drag it to your Applications folder.

I'm not having any issue with response lag time, I'm just not getting the output I would expect. Pretty disappointed so far.

The outputs you're showing indicate that the Desktop actually isn't evaluating the commands at all. I suggest you reinstall the Desktop and try again.

Note, however, that the Desktop does call the Wolfram Cloud for every request, so you'll have a similar response time to the Programming Cloud web interface, just without any client-side lag. If you want computation to occur on your machine, you should consider Mathematica.
