Getting Multiple user iMessage & FaceTime on my iMac with Yosemite

My son has an iPhone 5c running iOS 8.0.2.
I've just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite.
I'm getting my iMessages and Phone calls with the new Yosemite OS, but I'm also getting my sons iMessages and FaceTime requests.
Only his iMessages and Facetime, no Phone calls, no Text messages. I tried turning off his Bluetooth, thinking that was the issue, but it isn't.
This must be a settings thing, but I cannot figure it out.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Exactly what did you do?
Open Users & Groups preferences.
Click the lock icon and authenticate.
Select the account to delete then click on the Delete [-] button.
Select the option to delete immediately. Do not select erase securely.
If you've already deleted the account using secure erase, then you cannot change that. You will have to wait until the process is completed which may take days depending on how much data was in the account.

My wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the photo

my wife and I share an iCloud account for photo library and iCloud drive mainly for our family photo management, but we use different accounts for iMessage/facetime/calendar/etc. With Yosemite, I can't use continuity/handoff without dumping the primary photo iCloud account and thus our shared photo system. We are running yosemite OS X 10.10 and iOS 8.0.2... Is there any way to do this?

Multiple users for FaceTime on shared iMac

Morning - is it possible to use FaceTime on the household iMac where the machine is just turned on and running, but used by a number of people. I guess I'm trying to 'login' to FaceTime as you would MSN messenger or Skype etc... per user at the time.

You can only use one library at a time in an Aperture slideshow, so I'd suggest to simply collect the audio that you want to use in a folder (export the songs from both iTunes Libraries) and then import this folder to Aperture. Now you have a project containing the audio files; you will see it in the Aperture Audio section of the audio Browser, right above the iTunes section.
You can use the Apperture audio just like the audio in iTunes to drag to the timeline of your slideshow.

I can't download the latest security update to my iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1

I can't download the latest security update to my iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1

Hi mesuno. I can't download the update either. When I click on "Update" I see the download progress bar for only a fraction of a second. Then I get a message in the "updates installed" area saying that the update has been installed. Then the Security Update notice returns and so does the "Update" button. Then I press "Update" again and the same thing happens. I can do this ad infinitum.
The system seems to be confused. I have several entries in the "installed" area saying that it has been installed, but still the "Update" button persists. When I check with "Sytem information" there is no record of the installation.
Is there something wrong with the App Store app, or does anyone else have a better idea?

Make Your Own Yosemite Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
Click on the Erase button.
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following command line in its entirety into the Terminal window.
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite\ Developer\ Preview.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Yosemite\ Developer\ Preview.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN, enter admin password (will not echo to the window) then press RETURN again.
You need to have the installer in your Applications folder or change the paths in the above command line.
Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

Messages will not work on 2009 21.5 iMac with Yosemite

I have a 2009 iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2 and cannot get messages to work with a good AIM account, any ideas?

In order: No, and I don't know for sure, but strongly suspect no.
Only the 27" models have video input, and things like TV tuner/capture cards are always going to have a lag that is unacceptable for gaming. Even if you had a 27", it wouldn't work very well for use with a game console. I've been there, done that, with just about every possibility you can think of.
For a time I had an Xbox, PS2, and GameCube all connected to a Dell monitor and the sound chained through my computer. It worked, but it was a very convoluted and fragile system. The best thing I ever did was just buy a surround sound receiver and TV for my game consoles.

Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.

CS4 Design Premium on a new iMac with Yosemite

I am having trouble installing CS4 Design Premium from the original disks on a new iMac with Yosemite. It keeps going to an upgrade request and won't accept my serial number.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I am not a Mac person but it sounds to me CS4 is too old for Yosemite.

How can I get multiple users to be able to share the music on iTunes? I've tried Home Sharing, but it does not work properly.

How can I get home sharing to work on my mac mini for multiple users? It says it is working, but it never shows up in the left hand column.

Gino Cerullo,
Thanks for your response. I tried all that myself. In fact, last night, it all worked fine on all users. This morning, no Home Sharing would show up. It is really weird because some setting must have changed, but I did not knowingly changed anything, and now all the obvious fixes don't work. In fact, if I turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on, then it comes up only until I hit the "done" button on the set up page and then it goes away from the left hand column again. The ADVANCED drop down tab says it is on, but it is not there.
Thanks anyway.

Multiple users\passwords on the same website with Safari

Coming over from Netscape for MAC to Safari.
Here is the issue-- In Netscape I was able to have multiple users/passwords for the same website page. Netscape controls its users/passwords; not the keychain. With Safari everytime I try to enter the second user/password this wipes out the first user and password.
Is there a way with Safari to have mutlple users/passwords for the same website page?
Thanks,
Reed

A service might call the other one.

How can I get the older versions of iWorks ('13 the ones that came with Mavericks) now that I've purchased a new iMac with Yosemite?

It just hit me the other day (when my New Mac was on its way) that it would ship with Yosemite and of course ONLY the newest versions of iWorks. This machine is for a person in our business office and she should not have a different version of Pages and Numbers than everyone else in the company. (we upgrade those apps all together so exchanged files can be opened by everyone). I understand the Migration Assistant will only keep the newer versions when Applications is selected in the process and the App Store will not let me get the older version. This machine must have the older (Mavericks) versions of those applications so I'm considering partitioning and installing Mavericks even though it would bork my support. Is there any other way to install those versions on Yosemite? Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I understand and we Don't have volume licenses. All the apps we download are from our single school admin account. Would it still be piracy if I copied them from her old machine to her new one (both being company machines)
If not, Is there any way to accomplish what I trying to do with compliance? Purchase the apps from somewhere?
