AirPlay iMac Yosemite Upgrade

I upgraded my iMac (late 2009) in order to use AirPlay & view iMovie Projects through AppleTV. Once upgrade complete, still no AirPlay icon. Is there any way to use AirPlay from an older iMac?

Look for the feature in iTunes.

Airplay video and audio choppy after Yosemite upgrade

i can not play music or audio reliably using AirPlay after Yosemite upgrade, it's quite choppy until I turn off Bluetooth mouse.
Has anone come across this issue or figured out how to fix it.

I've had a similar issue with a not very fluid stream of mirrored or extended display in Yosemite. Even my iPad's mirror image came out shoppy. So I followed some threads advice and turned off bluetooth on the AppleTV and now I can even play games without having to look at the iPad.
Even streaming a movie from my Mac is possible in mirrored / extended mode (if it's nothing too important as there are occasionally frame drops here and there) but very few in comparison with bluetooth on.
Hope this helps. I'm sure Apple will have a fix ready soon enough.

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hi,
Open the Messages app.
Go to the Preferences item in the app's Menu.
Select the account pane in the Preferences.
Each active account should have a tick in the Enable this Account box.
This can be unticked.
This will stop accounts logging in but will not stop the app Launching in certain circumstances.
First of all check the app is Quit before shutting down the computer.
The fact the app is open even if all windows are hidden can cause the app to restart when you Start up the computer.
Messages is a Multiple window app and using the red button on the top left of a window only closes that window and does not Quit the app.
Also check the System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > Login Items tab.
This will list items that are set to Start up when the computer does.
I have a couple of External Drive on other computers, some Anti Virus software and the common iTunes Helper plus an old version of TextExpander that will work if I launch the Preference Pane this way.

Hello I formatted my iMac today and wanted to download iphoto again but after i press the button to install it in the app store nothing happens! same with the yosemite upgrade.. In the iPhoto ratings there are alot of other people facing this problem I hope somebody can help me. thank you in advance

If you have OS X 10.6.8 as you state you can not get iphoto form the App store - you must have Yosemite OS X 10.10. installed to download iphoto 9.6 from the App store
If Nothing happens then you need to contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

My iMac not starting/logging after yosemite upgrade

After my yosemite upgrade, got a problem starting up and logging up my iMac. Applecare advisers seems not able to help after all checks have been done. Now i have a 8month old iMac idle. Please help

Hi,
In addition to Linc's suggestion can you check the Apple Icon Menu top left and the "About this Mac" pane ?
In the Overview tab the last thing in the list of items is the Mac's Serial number.
Does this show up for you ?
You do not have to post the Number and if you use a Pic alter it to be unreadable in a Graphics app first.

Fix for vertical lines and screen freeze on 2008 iMac after Yosemite upgrade?

Mavericks was running slow with iPhoto. Did the Yosemite upgrade. Vertical lines on screen before everything freezes except mouse. Mouse continues to respond but nothing else, so forced to power off. Tried a revert to Mavericks but that seemed to tick it off (made things worse). Read 3 year old threads that graphics drivers may be at fault, but not sure how to remedy that. Any ideas?

Hi wokingmac,
If you are having an issue with your iMac display not responding appropriately, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Can't screen or file share since Yosemite upgrade

I upgraded my 27" iMac and my Macbook Pro Retina Display to Yosemite yesterday. Today I neither screen sharing nor file sharing will work. I have tried everything I know to connect the two computers, and nothing works for me.
No devices show up in my sidebar. Before the Yosemite upgrade both Macs were there, as well as a PC that my wife uses. Now there are no shared devices showing at all.

I just tried to delete this. Seems my problem was that for some reason my Macbook was connected to a free wifi hotspot instead of my home network. Everything works now. I feel so stoo-pid.

No email in Outlook 2011 for mac since yosemite upgrade

I installed yosemite 10.10.2 two days ago and cant get my gmail anymore. Using Outlook for mac 2011, ver 14.2.7 and gmail.
Called microsoft, they created new identity but now I can only see what has come in the last 2 days, All other history, drafts, sent , inboxes no longer appear. Went back to the old identity but now will not be able to get gmail from now on. I dont have original disks or key (ex has them). Microsoft wants me to buy new office for mac. This is crazy. I have had nothing but probs with Yosemite and now I have to pay microsoft to even get my old emails imported to my new outlook identity. Does anyone have any other suggestions for this mac-loving grandmother on social security? And...why wouldnt level 2 tech support know anything about this incompatibility issue after all this time? It's not like i haven't asked at least 20 times what changes/problems/issues/incompatibilities would occur if I upgraded. (I lost past 8 years of all imovie projects during the upgrade! had to reinstall Iphoto, etc etc
If I have posted this in the wrong place, I couldnt find any imac, yosemite, outlook boards., so I do apologize. Any help out there?

Few days back I was facing the same issue. I looked online and found support.microsoft.com/kb/2360509. Tried the steps provided without ay positive outcomes. I also found http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/05/how-to-recover-your-data-when-rebuilding -restoring-and-upgrading-fails/ and tried the steps again but wasn't able to gain much. I looked further into this and found http://www.officeformachelp.com/outlook/database/. I came to know that outlook stores messages in olk14 message files. I searched online for olk14 message recovery and voila the solution was right there. Now all my data is there recovered in one place and I also have transferred it into Apple Mail.

Cant Recover from Time Machine after Yosemite upgrade

I have a 27" iMac (w SSD Drive) and after the initial Yosemite upgrade i had to uninstall because it hung trying to boot. After some help from Apple I lost all of the data and apps on my hard drive (thanks???). The restore utility (restart option r) restored me back to Mountain Lion. I wasn't concerned as I have a time machine. I tried to restore from Time Machine using command-r and it is said I don't have enough space? I retried the Yosemite upgrade which seems to be working fine (a couple of reboots and has been ok (cautiously optimistic. I Entered Time Machine and clicked on the last valid backup in the timeline (the time line shows many) and nothing? It should have scrolled backwards but it didn't (the bar highlighted red when I hovered over). I tried to use the little arrow to move back and it doesn't do anything? All I can do is cancel? Am I doing this wrong? Any suggestions?

Yosemite has to index the backup.. over wireless this takes days.. no kidding.. even over ethernet it takes a very long time.
Is the TM backup on a Time Capsule or on external drive??
How long are you waiting?? Please don't expect instant indexing even on fast external drive... and on wireless connection to a TC.. forever could be close to the time period.
If you had have asked before you started down this route.. I would have strongly recommended you take a bootable clone from the disk before you attempted anything.. Carbon Copy Cloner creates a reliable and easily tested backup since you simply boot from it.
Time Machine is now so hard to use, so unreliable when you change OS version.. it is seriously time to stop using Time Machine.. or at least supplement it with something more reliable.

Mail does not work after yosemite upgrade

I have two iMac desktops, one iMac 27" bought this year and another iMac 24" bought four years ago. I applied the Yosemite upgrade for both they were both running the Maverick with no problem at all), the new one works flawlessly but the old one has one problem with Mail, it won't send emails, it does receive them alright though. I tried using the service provider (Swisscom) repair tool and it says that all emails parameters are correct.
One thing strikes me: Whereas the new iMac received a visible new graphical upgrade of the Mail software (meaning a translucent background and different colors in the left column), the old 24" still has its old looking black and grey background showing that Mail was not (fully?) upgraded. Very frankly I dont care about the graphical upgrade as long as I can use my Mail programme.
Would anyone please help me to recover from this situation please? I do insist on the fact that all parameters of the email accounts are correct and were not changed at all. Thank you.

For those of you having email password issues, I'd suggest:
1) Close your mail client (i.e. Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc).
2) Launch "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access.app"
3) Select "login" from the sidebar top left area, then select "Passwords" in lower left area
4) Click into the Search box in the upper right and search for your ISPs server names. For example, type "aol" or "google" or "comcast", etc.
5) Look through the search results for password entries related to your SMTP (outgoing) or IMAP/POP (incoming) mail servers. Select them and delete them.
6) Open your email client and try to receive mail, and then to send mail. You should be prompted to enter your mail username and/or password.
Hopefully this might fix issues for those of you using mail clients that use Keychain for credential storage.

How to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite?

Does anybody know how to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite? I've tried the hot key Shift + Control + Eject, but that sends the TV's screen as well as my iMac's screen to sleep at the same time. I don't want the 2 screens playing at the same time - I would like to send the computer's screen to sleep whilst the Apple TV continue's to play/mirror. Hoping someone knows how to do this?

Thanks Vazandrew for your detailed explanation. I think you've answered my question in that what I'm wanting to do is not possible because it is mirroring in its entirety, unless it is being done via iTunes.
I live in hope that Apple (can in-time) organise the same screen sleep capability that operates via iTunes for people wanting to stream regular online TV via iMac!
I would like to mark my question as answered by you, but had already checked the helpful star before going to mark the answered check mark. Didn't realise you could only mark one or the other…with no editing function.
Your explanation as to what is going on with the mirroring was much appreciated, as I couldn't figure out why the short cut keys worked sometimes (via iTunes) and not others (via regular streamed online TV).

How can i fix Connection issues with back to my mac since yosemite upgrade.

Ok I have been having nothing but problems with back to my mac since the upgrade. both machines are using yosemite and I have even reinstalled yosemite on both still having connection issues. anyone else know how I can fix this? I get one of 2 error messages one that says there is a problem connecting and i should make sure screen sharing is active and then another that says the server does not exist. So far to get it working it involves restarting back to my mac or both macs. This is not a good fix since once I disconnect and try to reconnect a few hours later it does it all over again. I am currently in France and needless to say my parents are starting to get really annoyed with constantly having to do things on there end so I can remote into my iMac.Before the yosemite upgrade I maybe had to do this once or twice.

What I have done is open Disk Utility, Repair Permissions, and do that more than once if it returns a lot of errors in the permissions. Then Restart the Mac.
Also, go to System Preferences > Spotlight and try turning off a couple settings such as search suggestions...these things are taking a lot of resources now.

27" imac yosemite update hangs. Required power cycle and safe boot to get the update going. Now all OS X update do the same.

27" iMac Yosemite update hangs.
The original upgrade to Yosemite (10.10) took almost a full day! The computer hung during one of the reboots and just showed a blank grey screen, no apple logo, no progress bar, nothing. I left it like that for about an hour thinking it might be working in the dark... Eventually I had to power cycle. Disconnected power at the wall outlet for about 5 minutes, then reconnected and tried to start. After about 20 minutes, got to the same point, grey screen:no action, again waited at least an hour.
Then I did a safe boot. System came up OK in safe mode to the log in screen. As soon as I logged in, it proceeded with the interrupted update, which ran to completion. Yay!
Now, every update to Yosemite that arrives gives men the same grief!
To add some more, the "Pro Video Formats 2.0.1" update has installed about 4 times, and is asking to be installed again? There's no indication that it fails the update so whats going on?

I saw the set hibernet mode to 0 trick and it failed. Guess I can try 3 because reinstalling OS X did nothing but cost me another few hours and a little faith in Apple. Getting annoyed as I see how many people complain of the identical issue and the fixes are variable and random. Suggests to me that it is a major design flaw in the hardware and Apple got too cute with the just works idea and didn't put a damned power button on the display so there is no manual way to do it and no 'insert a pin here' type trick to reset the thing.
Asking for a refund tomorrow. Past the 14 days so maybe they'll say no but if so then every time this happens I will swap it out. At least then I know it is a three hour fix and as I was working on this for hours today it occurred to me that if the trick is to do 57 different things and maybe one will work then that is not why I made the switch to Apple. I could plug everything in on my PC and it all 'just worked'.
Really poor customer service - the support folks are very nice and I am sure they know that this is a systemic issue but aren't allowed to say so. Feeling pretty stupid for going on faith right about now.

Yosemite upgrade issue

Hi, I have an imac which runs on OS X Mavericks 10.9.5, everytime i try to download the Yosemite upgrade, it loads, then on restart it constantly fails on installation. please help, btw, speak very simple to me, i'm not a tech person at all lol

I installed Yosemite on my MacBook Air and have numerous problems with it. I suggest you don't upgrade. Keep Maverick. I have to restart the computer numerous times and sometimes it will finally start up. Right now, I'm in safe mode.
