App Compatibility With Yosemite OS Update

According to roaring apps there are 4 apps of mine that Yosemite will not support. The apps are Aimersoft media converter, Fidelia, Quicken 2007 (I suppose I could pay the $75.00 for the 2015 update which is compatible), Stuffit Destinations and VueScan (again, I could spend $200 - $300 and replace my old Epson scanner). Am I wrong on this? If I'm not is anyone else hesitant to upgrade because of this issue?

Are you sure about Vuescan? That application gets updated regularly. Did the developer drop support for your scanner in recent versions?
You don't have to do anything for a while if Mavericks is working OK for you. And you don't have to do a scorched earth upgrade that wipes out your Mavericks drive. Before you do anything, make sure you have a backup copy of the Mavericks installer. If you didn't save it or put it onto a flash drive, you should download it again and store it in a safe location. If you want to make a flash drive installer (you should do the same with the Yosemite installer):

You can install Yosemite on a separate drive and evaluate it. You can keep Mavericks going for the apps you can't or don't want to upgrade. I don't use Quicken, but have seen some discussion of it lately at Macintouch, and most users seem to feel that the 2007 version is preferable.

Is iDVD compatibility with Yosemite?

Hi, everybody!
When I installed Yosemite in my iMac, I chose to perform a clean installation, so I lost all of my applications. So, I tried to reinstall iDVD but I could't find it in AppStore. As I've read, iDVD really doesn't appears for direct installation, so, I installed it from my iLife CD and updated it to version 7.1.2. But, when I try to run it, the app freezes and I'm obligated to quit it (most of time, force quit) and relaunch it. But, in a few seconds (or minutes), the app starts freezing again and this makes impossible for me to use it.
I thinks it's not a problem caused by lack of memory, since I have 16 GB installed here...
Is the app compatible with Yosemite? If it is, what do you suggest for me to solve this issue? If it's not, could you suggest another good DVD creator?
Thank you!

837.3MB for 59 minutes is incredibly small. What format are these files in?
Formats supported by iDVD 7:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6655.html
iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Older Software Compatibility with Yosemite

Will I have any problems working with older apps in Yosemite (i.e. VueScan, Quicken 2007, Microsoft Office 2008)? Is there a listing anywhere on this site or at Apple for compatibility issues?

IPhoto compatibility with Yosemite

I just upgraded to Yosemite today and now I can't open iPhoto. When I try to, it says it's not compatible with Yosemite and I need to upgrade in the App Store. I don't have a problem upgrading iPhoto but I want to make sure that I can without losing my photos. Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Lanny, I realize that there is a software update for iPhoto. I just want to make sure that I can run the update without losing my photos. Allan, I have Time Machine set up and run backups regularly. Would that be sufficient should I have a problem updating iPhoto?

When the 5.0 version came out a notice was sent to my laptop stating it was not compatable with Garman GPS updates at this time. I would like to know if that has been fixed allowing Garman GPS updates now? I did not update to 5.0 for that reason.

I did not update to 5.0 Firefox because it said it was not compatable with the Garman GPS updates at this time

Hdmi compatibility with yosemite

Is it possible that the yosemite update would not allow an hdmi adapter to work on my macbook pro (2012)? Because when we use the adapter on my boyfriends macbook it would work and his laptop wasn't updated with yosemite.

My CS5, everything the suite works on Yosemite, the latest Java Runtime will be required, that's a simple free upgrade.
However, for me personally it is running EXTREMELY sluggish! PS is ok at first, but after 15, 20 minutes simple things like selection tool, switching to another layer, clone brush.
Then erasing..I'll erase something...I get the rainbow spinning wheel for 5, 10 seconds then It shows what I erased, then CTRL+Z to undo and then redo. It lags. not fun!
Not sure..I've read forums where people are ok with Adobe programs, others state the same issues like I am having, Sucks the RAM dry and I have 12GB of it Tweaked the cache and scratch disc settings and no improvements.
Depends on how old the Mac is, mine is a mid 2011 iMac 27in. It ran so amazing in SnowLeopard, Lion. Mavericks, I noticed a slight lag but nothing horrific that annoyed me to no end.
Now. eh.

FC343LL/A compatibility with Yosemite

Just got a used Time Capsule (2009) version Model, FC343LL/A.
Will this work with Yosemite?

Yes, if the previous owner updated the firmware on the Time Capsule. If not, you will see a message about needing to update the firmware on the Time Capsule.
If that occurs, you will need to have.....or borrow a Mac running an older operating system like Leopard or Snow Leopard to update the firmware on the Time Capsule. A PC with AirPort Utility installed would work as well.
Then, the Time Capsule will have the best chance to work with Yosemite, although you still may need to change some settings on the Mac if AirPort Utility cannot find the Time Capsule.

CS3 compatibility with Yosemite

Hi, I have an inherited version of CS3 on my PPC(!) iMac G5 and am planing to purchase a new intel iMac with Mavericks installed and I might upgrade to Yosemite.
The question is, will I be able to migrate my software to the new mac and will it work! Has anyone had this experience?
Thank you.

It is working on my intel iMac with Mavericks, (at least Illustrator, Dreamweaver and InDesign are, I have not checked CS3 Photoshop because I have the CS5 version of that) but I had installed and updated all the apps back when I had older OS versions (Leopard, Snow Leopard, etc.) and when I tried to do a fresh install recently, I was able to install them but not apply the updates from Adobe. The Adobe updater will just claim that it could not make an internet connection (even though you are connected to the internet) and won't update them. If you just drag the most up-to-date versions over (or migrate them with the migration tool when you set up the new iMac) they should work and be as up-to-date as 2007 apps can be, even if that is not the ideal way to install them as opposed to a clean install.

I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
Thanks!
SmettSky

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

Printer Compatability with Yosemite

I have an HP Photosmart C8180 All-In-One printer. Will I have ay problem updating to Yosemite

Hello Highcountryhike,
Thank you for posting your request. You should have no issues updating to 10.10 Yosemite. Below are a couple links that should help.
If you run the Software Updates from the Apple Menu, to check for updates. Some have had issues not seeing updates, so simply click on "Store" from the top menu, and then click on Reload Page". Select to install HP Updates to ensure you have the latest drivers.
