How do I remove os x yosemite?

please...

Hopefully you backed up before and after you installed OS X Yosemite; This guide should work wonders: http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/22/downgrade-os-x-yosemite-to-mavericks/
If you don't have a Time Machine Backup or a USB device, I would suggest booting into Internet Recovery with ⌥⌘R and select Reinstall OS X. This will install the OS that was on it when first manufactured, which may not be Mavericks.

  • I'm running 10.10. How do I remove OS X Yosemite Beta 4 as an update in App Store?

    I'm running 10.10. How do I remove OS X Yosemite Beta 4 as an update in App Store?
    ++++++
    I ran a few versions of the Yosemite Beta, but once it went public, I upgraded to the latest public version, and have continued to do so.
    I'm currently running OS X 10.10 (re-confirmed by just checking About This Mac), but my App Store keeps showing me Yosemite Beta 4 as an available OX update for me to install?
    How do I get this removed from my App Store upgrade tab?
    -Rick

    Hi Rick,
    When you resign from the Beta program, give it some time for the system to update. I am sure, that if you check again a day later you would have been removed.
    Have you removed the Feedback assistant?

    Yosemite will run on that computer. Try quitting the App Store and then control click on the installer - Move to Trash. The installer should be in your Applications folder.

  • How do I remove popups? Yosemite 10.10

    I am sick of the popups, because everytime I freaking click in the safari or google chrome or any other browsers a new popup pops up, and I am seriously so sick of it. I have tried AdBlock and it's not worked at all, things just got worse.
    In Safari Preferences, when i go to Security I have marked yes with everyone of them, so what is wrong with this?
    Please help me.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • My new iMac with Yosemite displays photo icons with a white border.  How can I remove this border?

    How can I remove the white border/'frame' around the photo icons, which I store in folders other than iPhoto?
    My computer is an iMac 27" (Late 2014 5K Retina display) with Yosemite 10.10.3.
    The border does not exist on any photos /images created on my MacbookPro (Lion) or any earlier computers.  It appears after importing to the iMac and only then after saving in either Preview or Photoshop Elements.
    I have looked in all "Preferences" but could not find how to remove the border.
    Any advice will be gratefully received.

    Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
    This never happened before version 35.

  • My macbook pro is running very slowly since upgrading to Yosemite.  How can I cure this or how do I remove Yosemite?

    My macbook pro (13inch mid 20101) is running very slowly since I upgraded to Yosemite.  How can I cure this or how can I remove Yosemite?
    OS X 10.10.1
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 duo
    4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB
    Opening apps or web pages is incredibly slow and extremely frustrating.

    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 do I remove Yosemite installation partition

    I have a 2009 iMac with the primary OS disk being an SSD and the secondary disk as my Home drive.  I downloaded Yosemite via the App Store but never installed it.  Instead,  I created a bootable installation USB stick in order to perform a fresh installation on this iMac.  After successful "clean" installation to the primary SSD, I noticed there is an approximate 100GB partition on my secondary Home HD called, "Install OS X Yosemite".  How do I remove this partition without affecting all the contents on my HD?
    Thank you in advance.

    Please open Disk Utility, select the primary drive entry (out-dented) then click on the Partition tab in the main window. Take a screenshot and post here.
    To post screen shot do this:
    Press COMMAND-SHIFT-4 which will change the cursor to crosshairs.
    Hold down the mouse button and use the crosshairs to select the part of the screen you wish to capture.
    Release the button and the image will be saved to your Desktop.
    Click on the Camera icon in the toolbar of the forum message editor.
    Drag the image onto the Choose File button and click on the Insert button.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

  • How do I remove user account with UID=0 (except of root)

    Macbook Pro 13; I have Parallels software and did not realize I needed to upgrade to version 10 before upgrading to OS X Yosemite.  I get an error stating Parallels 10 cannot be installed because there is a user account other than root that has UID=0.  I checked UIDs in Terminal Utilities and there is one other username with UID=0  How do I remove username peggy?

    BobM53, That would be needed regardless of what front end my users log in with, in my case I was looking for them to access the DIT via the DSCC/DCC, which is not possible.  Regardless, thank you for your reply, it is reassuring to know I am headed in the right direction.
    I am now looking towards installing something else like Apache Directory Studio, or some other GUI for users to manage the directory. 
    I will most likely create one or more ACI's to build groups, adding members to those groups as needed; each group being allowed to perform functions such as create users, lockout users, add/modify hosts, etc.
    I will most likely follow the steps outlined in:
    Directory Server Groups, Roles, and CoS - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
    Slightly OT, does anyone have a suitable and similar proven method to "lockdown" root accounts, and who has root access?
    Thank you

  • How can I remove the junk mail folder from appearing in my macbook mail program?

    Hi all
    Can someone please tell me how I can remove the "junk" mailbox from showing in my mail program on my macbook? It wasn't there before and I would like it removed. I've attached a screen shot to be clearer in my request.
    Thank you!

    Hey PrincessJasmine,
    I see that you wish to get rid of the Junk Mail folder from your sidebar in Mail on OS X. I have an article for you that will explain how to do this:
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Junk Mail. Make sure “Enable junk mail filtering” and “Mark as junk mail, but leave it in my Inbox” are selected.

  • How do I remove McAfee?

    I am entitled to McAfee with my AT&T Uverse account. I downloaded it on my Mac MBP which is on OSX Yosemite. After that, time machine stopped backing up to my Time Capsule, and I could no longer print to any of my 3 wifi printers (none of them will connect).
    I should have searched this forum first and found the 2013 post that said not to install McAfee, but I was panicked because I accidentally opened an email pretending to be an e-fax.
    So how do I remove McAfee and make sure it hasn't done some irreparable damage already?
    thanks for your advice!

    Thanks for that link, it was helpful.
    FYI, I ran the McAfee uninstaller and then rebooted. After that, I was able to re-add my wifi printers and Time Machine started backing up to my time capsule again.
    I had installed McAfee-Macinstaller-3.3.dmg. Definitely a waste of time. It seemed to hang when running a full scan. I ran a partial scan, and it did not give any info during the scan. So I couldn't tell when it was done. And there was no history of what it had scanned. Basically, McAfee was a terrible time sink and did not help me at all.

  • Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?

    Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?

    Thank you Thomas
    First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
    Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
    To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while.

  • How do I remove Bookmark bar from screen

    How do I remove the bookmark and reading list from my screen ?

    Hi, Mickey1690.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I would need clarification on the issue and what operating system you are running that is experiencing this issue to provide a better answer.  However, it sounds like you want to hide the bookmark and reading list in Safari.  Here is an article that I would take a look at if this is the case.
