Another Win7 Bootcamp failure with Yosemite upgrade (missing 34 GB)

I've been reading what others have been doing per Loner T's instructions, but I'm a bit unclear on the ultimate goal, particularly when using testdisk and looking for "familiar files." I'm hoping for some instructions on how to recover my Win7 partition. I'm running a testdisk deeper search, but again I'm not sure what I'm looking for in that program or if I've followed the correct selections. Here are the outputs from the 4 commands that Loner T has said to provide...
Huge thanks in advance for any help.

So here's the results of a Quick Search:
Inside the MS Data selection:
The top MS Data and the bottom one both show "Can't open filesystem" when I use P: list files, but the middle one (size = 191678457) has that System Volume Information file you mentioned in the thread, along with some other recognizable file names, though there are a few key programs I had installed that I don't see, but I'm hoping they'll still be there when we recover the partition. Here's that file highlighted, and I put red boxes around what I think are the "start" and "end," are those correct?
In the other thread, you go on to say "If this is the only MS data entry..." but I have 3 I think, so will I need to do something different than fhornedo?

Has anyone had problem with Yosemite upgrade in mac air startup?

Since Yosemite upgrade my Mac Air has been slow to start up compared to to previous OS's. I have been patient in waiting for a fix or an explanation. If it is an accepted startup procedure, ok, but explain it. The sales pitch still sell the notebook as a quick startup, a second. Please advise if it is mine or an accepted OS quirk. Thank you.

Hanna,
Is this a slow white progress bar on a black screen boot slowness, or afterwards, including while the Desktop appears?
I suggest looking into your System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items tab. See if Safari is in the list, or something that wants to open a web link, and this launches the browser. You can remove these with the - button below the listing.
I have a 2014 MBA that was upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite 10.10.1. It didn't boot in a second with Mavericks either. That is an unrealistic boot performance expectation. It does however boot to a Finder Desktop within 12 seconds, and that is good enough for me. Wake from Sleep is one second.

Custom font go crazy with Yosemite upgrade

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a very unpleasant consequence of Yosemite upgrade: I've been creating and using personal fonts for years, and they seem to go crazy with the new system when printing some text.
The text's display on my screen is correct (in Text Edit, Mellel & Nisus), but printing reveals strong issues: the spacing of letters isn't correct, and the text appears much smaller than it should be. All of my fonts are PostScript ones. My printer's driver is up to date.
If you can think of any suggestion, please share it with me!
Best regards,
2SSophie

Having the same crippling issue as you and no soluce yet. When are Apple people going to pass on the info ? this is a heavy nusty bug

Photo Screen Saver not functioning with Yosemite Upgrade

Recently I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Yosemite. I have always used a folder in iPhoto for my screen saver via system preferences. Ever since the upgrade this folder will no longer function as the screen saver. The screen saver option in System Preferences always defaults to Apples National Geographic photos that is installed with Yosemite. After I select the folder I want I "preview" the screen saver and my photos are there. Once the screen saver kicks itself in, the NG photos are there and the system settings are back to NG photos and not my photos. Now, I will admit the NG photos are far above my photos, but I really prefer my photos. Is Apple evaluating photo quality on the screen savers? Kidding - any ideas?
Scott

I have the same issue.
Try this. I think this has worked for me. Only time will tell.

Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these two files.
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer.

Where can I get Extensions offered with Yosemite upgrade?

I upgraded Yosemite on our two MAC Minis. When completing the second download, I realised that there were 21 Extensions on the page when I scrolled down. I missed these on the first MAC download! I have searched all over MAC and Google etc. but can't find where to download these extensions for the second MAC. Can anyone tell me please?

Ramone,
Can you tell me what the GL open feature is?
Watch it, buddy! Don't go adding vowels at the end of my name.
OpenGL features include smooth images at any and all levels of zooming, canvas rotation, flick panning (also referred to as Image Toss), etc.

And in your opinion would you Upgrade to the Flashed card. Is there any card you prefer?
I've already told you my machine specs. Here they are again:
Dual bootable, DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004), maxed out at 2GB of RAM, both Spotlight and Dashboard disabled, Photoshop primary scratch disk on dedicated 160GB internal drive, at least 100GB available on each of the four internal drives, up to 300GB on some. Counting external FW drives just over 1TB of drive space available. "Mutant", flashed nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 425MHz 256 MB graphics display card. Processor napping enabled through CHUD 3.5.2.
You're going to have to look very hard for a flash card, specifically one that fits your 4x AGP video cars slot. Make sure the seller gives you a warranty and assurance that the card will work in your specific machine and that it has at least 256MB of VRAM. I got mine from MacGeniuses on eBay, but they sweem no loner agtive. Others hav had good luch with a seller by the name of applemacanix, or something like that, also on eBay.

You need one with at least 256MB of VRAM.
Don't forget that there is a trial version of CS4 that you can download for free and run it for 30 days.

How can I install after a hard drive failure with only upgrade disk?

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 but my HDD recently suffered a complete failure and I've had to change the drive. Unfortunately, I don't have my original Photoshop disk, only a CS2 and CS5 upgrade disk (with both serial numbers). Is there any way round this problem? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Welcome to the forum.
My upgrade path started with Ps version 2.5. That was the last full version, that I had. All the rest were upgrades from there, though to CS 2.
When I went to install CS 2, I was asked for the CS version. I had both the upgrade disc and the S/N (my S/N's went through a couple of iterations, over the decades). In my case, the CS version disc was inserted, found and the installation went smoothly.
Now, while I have CS 5 (and 5.5 and 6), I never installed CS 5, it was just part of the upgrade path, to get me to CS 6 at the end. With my CS 5 S/N, CS 6 installed fine.
That was what worked for me, and I hope will work for you too. Keep that CS 2 disc handy, as you might need to insert that into the multi-drive, at a point in the CS 5 installation.
The one worry that I would have, with an HDD failure, would be Activation, as you probably did not Deactivate Ps, before that failure. For that, should you be up against your allowed Activations, you will likely want to call Adobe Customer Support, and explain your problem. They should be able to reset the Activations, and help you.
Good luck,

HT202337 list all-day events in day view on Mac icalendar with Yosemite upgrade

Before I upgraded to Yosemite, I loved that the day view of the iCalendar on the Mac showed all the calendar events (including all-day events) in a list view. Now that I have upgraded, the day view shows in the same format as week view with timed events primarily displayed and all-day events at the top in a small section with a scroll bar. I use all-day events a lot, and would much prefer the list of events (including all-day events) when looking at the day view! (It is this way on the iPhone, but no longer on the Mac icalendar.) How can I get back to this listed events in the day view?? Or if not, is there a way to move down the bar underneath the all-day events section (to show more of the all-day events at a time)? PLEASE? Help?? Thank you in advance!!

Adobe Reader not working on my Mac with Yosemite upgrade

Hello,
since upgrading my Mac to Yosemite, I haven't been able to open Adobe Reader or any documents in Adobe Reader. I can't even upgrade Adobe reader as a message says it is not a supported file type or it has been damaged. Tried in different browsers too with no luck. It was working before the upgrade. Any ideas?
Thanks KTE

Hi Rave,
thanks for the advise. Is Adobe Reader open when I have FINDER open as it comes up with that it can't move it to the trash because it is OPEN, it resides in FINDER in APPLICATIONS. I can't move it to the desktop to then trash it....as it only creates a short cut.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

How do I fix trackpad issues with Yosemite upgrade

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and am having trackpad and keyboard issues. I read the message boards and tried adjusting settings but still very erratic behavior-making my macbook pro unusable. I tried to re-install the os but no help. I hooked up a mouse and still performs the same as trackpad.
Any fixes out there?
Thanks

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
5. Reset the System Management Controller.
6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
8. A defective peripheral device or a damaged cable can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using any wired peripherals, disconnect them one at a time and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Yosemite Upgrade: Missing Internet Accounts/Email Accounts

I have updated Mavericks to Yosemite on my MBP (mid 2013) yesterday, and since then I miss one account in "System Preferences/Internet Accounts" which means I have just 8 instead of my 9 Internet Accounts under Preferences.
The 9th account however does exist in "Mail/Preferences/Accounts" among the others.
Why is this email account not being shown in Preferences/Internet Accounts? And how can I restore/repair/fix it so the number of Internet Accounts equals my total number of setup email accounts?
I am using Time Machine but I was not able to restore my Internet Accounts preferences so far.
Thank you.

I’ve had both of those problems. This thread has some research on it which also describes my variables: multiple email addresses (domains) all hosted by the same provider on the same domain. Issue with Mail accounts not appearing in System Preferences Internet Accounts

Cannot open iMovie 10.0.6 with Yosemite upgrade on 2014 Macbook Air

I updated OS X to Yosemite and noticed I cannot open iMovie. Updated both iPhoto & iMovie and it still is not working giving me error message, "You can’t use this version of the application “iMovie” with this version of OS X." " You have iMovie 10.0", even though I just updated to 10.0.6

This is running on MacBook Air 2013 w/ 2Ghz i7 w/ 8G memory...
OK, now what?
thank you!!

I just tried to open iMovie for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite and it tries to load all my projects and then crashes out with a error. It will not open at all.

That is the problem - the iPhoto library must be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - you need to move it to a correctly formatted drive and hopefully it had not been permanently damaged by being on an incorrectly frmatted drive

Failure with Aperture Upgrade form 3.2.2 to 3,2,4

I need to upgrade Aperture 3.2.2 on a MacBook Pro (OSX 10.7.4) in order to share Aperture libraries with an iMac (OSX 10.6.8).
The Download of 3.2.4 on the MacBook was long, but without any problems. However, when unpacking, a message is poping up, telling that this update must be done by Mac App Store und notihing is working any more.
Is Aperture 3.2.4 not compatible with OSX 10.7.4 ?
When looking for for help, there is mostly Aperture Version 3.3 shown (= very anoying), which is not compatible with my iMac. For several reasons I will not yet upgrage my iMac to OSX 10.7... but use the MacBook when travelling.
Who can help?
Thanks so much,
Felix

Thanks a lot Ernie
At least, I must no longer feel a "dump"..... Thus, there is no way to bring Aperture 3.2.4 on my MacBook (OSX 10.7.4) ?
Greetings, Felix
