I am having so many problems with my ipads and my computers since I upgraded to Yosemite on my desktop! I have never been so frustrated with Apple. My apple at work also has a virus problem and my other MAC keeps rebooting!! My MAC at home burned

Problems with Yosemite: virus (malware), rebooting, burned hard drive, ipads keep losing wifi.

You're going to have to be more specific about the symptoms you're seeing. At the moment, I really have almost no idea at all what's going on. Also, be aware that upgrading your Mac to Yosemite has no effect whatsoever on your iPads.
If you're having a lot of ad problems or redirects in the web browsers on all these devices, you probably have some kind of network compromise, such as hacked network hardware:

I have an original iPad and have never been able to use the ear jack to work.

If you have inserted the earbuds or headphones all the way and tried more than one set, the iPad probably has a hardware problem and if no longer under warranty, you will have to pay out of pocket to get it repaired.

I have never been so frustrated with Apple in my life!

I am disgusted. Not just by the issues I've got with wifi, but with Apple's lack of response and fixes.
Since installing Yosemite I have had massive wifi issues - to the point where I now have had to dish out £50 on a long ethernet cable and ethernet to thunderbolt adapter just so I can get paid!
There are only 2 things I need to work - my mac, and internet. So thanks a lot Apple, my trust in you as a company has been chipped away a lot over the past week because the tech I rely on to make a living is broken.
With no answers, and no fixes I now need to figure out how to downgrade back to Mavericks - more time lost.
I appreciate everyone posting their fixes on here, but honestly most of them don't make sense to me - I have been desparately waiting for a Yosemite update, but I now think going back to Mavericks is my only choice.

I understand it's very disappointing when an upgrade brings you serious trouble. It seems you depend on this machine for work and income?
In that case:
Rule number one = Never update on a first release!
I can't remember having seen any first release ever that was totally free of bugs. So if your income depends on it, you better wait untill the second update (so 10.2). You seem to be mad at Apple because they haven't fixed the problems yet? Come on. Yosemite was released on 16th, that's two weeks ago. The first update takes usually a few weeks longer.
Rule number two: Never upgrade without having a complete backup of your Mac. If you have to figure out how to downgrade to mavericks, you probably haven't done that. If you had, downgrading would have been a piece of cake. At least backup all your data before you do downgrade to mavericks.
You can find several topics here on how to downgrade your mac.
Good luck!

Having so many issues with apple iPhone

Right I gotta be careful what I say as they are watching me
1) what is the point of ios5?
2) what is the point of iCloud?
3) what is the point of backing up?
4) what is the point of restoring from a back up?
Because NONE of them work!!!

1) It is new software. What is the point of any updated software for any device/computer/television/etc?
http://www.apple.com/iphone/ios/
2) To enable you to store, share and retrieve music/tv shows/contacts/calendars/contacts/etc wirelessly.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/icloud
3) So that you will not lose all of your information should a problem occur. Same reason you backup your computer.
4) If you have lost your data and need to restore it from the backup that you made. Same reason you would restore from your backup of your comuter if it crashes.
Maybe you should read the manual.
They all work for me and everyone I know. It seems you have a probelm with yours. Perhaps if you were to provide some info, someone here could help.

I have never been more frustrated with a website than this one.

This website is utterly the worst labrynth of crap I have ever ever in my entire history of working with the internet have experienced. Who designed this site? a monkey? THE WORST! THE WORST! THE WORST! man, I am so angry and frustrated. This is unbelievable.
Lets make a list shall we:
First apparently I am available for an upgrade. So I click on upgrade my phone which I guess is what I am to do. I don't see why I can't just see a list of phones with the corresponding discounts etc. Nope instead I get a pre menu with a picture of my phone and a icon to press upgrade your phone. Wouldn't the designers think that maybe some people might get a little confused. There is a picture of my phone and it says upgrade your phone. Why not be clear? "This is the phone you have" then put "click here to see what upgrades are available to you." I know Im not the smartest guy in the planet but geez the webdesigners were perhaps too familiar with their own site and didn't put it together for the laymen.
So then I go to the site and guess what? There are no discounts shown, there are no upgrades readily availble for me to see. Instead is a list of phones for full price. Is that the upgrade I am availble for? A phone for full price? This is absurd.
You would think that a multi-billion dollar corporation that has made its money on being the leader of wireless technology WOULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO A WEBSITE THAT A USER COULD USE!
Oh and then wanting to email someone about my experience. Nope cant just contact through email. You have to put a preselected question for your email that just takes you right back to the FAQs. Wow! that is convenient!!!. To actually contact someone you have to put your stupid complaint on a forum but in order to do that you have to go through the complete hassel of logging in AGAIN, then I need to put some stupid code in from my email. Do you guys just make it difficult so that people will just give up and not complain? That doesn't seem like good customer service to me. Sticking your fingers in your ears screaming lalalalala via making it too complicated and time consuming so that customers don't have a voice is no way to help customers.
And then trying to add a comment on the "suggestions thread" there are no options to post a comment on that one. You guys sure seem like you know what your doing. Maybe you can hire my mother who can barely send an email to design your site, she might do a better job.
So I guess my suggestion is to fire the webdesigner and put together a more cohesive, effecient website please.

Im on firefox. Another poster told me how to email - it wasn't straight forward for me - which in my opinion should be. This site is organized really badly, in my opinion. Like I stated before this is Verizon wireless - this site should be hands down one of the best out there - instead its clunky and redundant. I want a ferrari and they are giving me a 1982 rusted out pontiac - yeah it works but not that well.
As for the upgrades and pricing - shouldn't that be something that is on the site. I am available for an upgrade and if I want to order a phone I should be able to see how much its going to cost me. And if Im not mistaken they used to do that. To me, just doesn't make any sense to not include the pricing. Doesn't that seem ineffecient? "your available for an upgrade - check our site for your upgrades - oh we don't have the prices that it will cost you - you have to call in.
And what doe "new for every 2" actually mean? They don't really explain that. Do I get a brand new phone of my choosing for free? Catchy slogans don't necessarily inform the customers and thats whats a little disappointing to me.
Sorry for my blather.

I have never been so disappointed in apple! for such a well established company to not have another sercurity feature to find my stolen phone if the find my phone app is disabled. i sent countless emails to nurunesa and still no reply. WOW!!!

they stole my phone and there was anything you guys can do about it

Apple provided you with Find My iPhone.
As Peter pointed out, they are not in the business of law enforcement. They supplied you with the tools to secure your device and you chose not to use them.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

I have never been able to use the Macmail feature. Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct. Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in. It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me. Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

You may have to get Pacifist...

then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

I have bought a WD My Book World Edition to use for back-up of my iMac, but when I try and log onto the drive with Apple time Machine (back-up software) or connect in any other way I get the message 'There was a problem connecting to the server "MybookWorld.local" The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'
It is a brand new iMac and running Lion OSX
Any ideas on how to solve would be gratefully received?

Followed the directions on this page and it worked!
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1102423
Part One - Turn on SSH (in the admin panel)
[1] Go to to http://mybookworld.local
[2] login: username will be admin, password will be whatever you have setup. If you can't remember it should be in your Mac OS X keychain (Utilities > Keychain Access, search for "mybookworld"). If you have not changed if from the default the password will be admin as well.
[3] Switch to advanced mode.
[4] From the System tab, pick Advanced.
[5] Enable SSH Access, and click submit.
[6] Click on the network tab and then the LAN button
[7] Make a note of the IP address
Small, maybe obvious, but nevertheless important point: For the install to work, your NAS needs to be connected to a router with internet access.
Part Two - Install netatalk2.2
[8] Open Terminal.app (Utilities > Terminal)
[9] Enter the following command (substitute in 127.0.0.1 for the actual IP address you noted down in step 7), then hit return:
Code:
ssh [email protected]
[10] When prompted, enter the ssh password (will be welc0me).
[11] You are now going to download the installer. Enter the following command, then hit return:
Code:
wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/netatalk2-2-on-whitelight/install_netatalk.sh -O install_netatalk.sh
[12] Once completed, you will need to run the installer. Type:
Code:
sh install_netatalk.sh
[13] You will be asked a number of question during install, answer yes to all. When asked about the "DHX2 login process", I opted to install the modified version, so I can confirm it works.
[14] Once the box has restarted, you should be able to connect to your afp shares and continue to use Time Machine.

Since i upgrade to Yosemite i have problems with my Mac.

Since i upgrade to Yosemite i have problems with my Mac. Its brand new and i miss Maverics.
Yosemite is slow. The screen goes black and restart suddenly. Reports errors all the time.
How can i solve the problem and goes back to Maverics?
Please help...

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
