I don't want to upgrade to Yosemite.
It took me the better part of six months to work all the bugs out of my apps and Mavericks. Everything is working fine now. Will Apple continue to support Mavericks? I am not interested in the features in Yosemite.

OK as a Network Engineer- I thought Apple would continue along their same view, now we have another Microsoft and that is about the biggest cut I can make to a company.
I have network of nothing but Macs, most are running Mavericks and a few running ML. I do NOT want Yosemite. It has memory leaks on several browsers and Java and has difficulty with Open Systems Accounting Software. So what do I do to get the other computers to Mavericks. I have a previously downloaded installer. It start, asks to verify at Apple and then shows e the disk image with a choice of clicking on install and nothing happens- what gives and what are my options and Yosemite is not one of them. Do you really want to be lie Microsoft???????????????????????????????????
Thanks

Do you have a question, and if so what is it?

I am running 10.7.5 on an imac and I want to upgrade to Yosemite but I have no app store on my computer. Is there a way I can get the app store on my imac?
If you don't have it then you will have to reinstall Lion:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Repair
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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Then you can download and install Yosemite if your computer meets the system requirements:
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

How can i remove message to upgrade if i don't want to upgrade

Other than upgrading, you can't.

I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again. Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go. I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others. The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.
Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

I DON'T WANT TO UPGRADE OR HAVE AN ADD ON EVER, DISABLING UPDATES DOES NOT WORK, HOW DO I KILL ALL MESSAGES FOR UP GRADES AND ADD ON'S FOR EVER, ONCE AND FOR ALL, COMPLETELY, THE END AND NEVER BE BOTHERED AGAIN EVER! ALSO IF I KILL MYSELF I WILL HOLD YOU PERSONALTY RESPONSIBLE.edit
There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

I have photoshop CS2 on a mac 10.6.8 OS. I want to upgrade to Yosemite OS (10.10). Will photoshop work on the new OS? Is there an upgrade available if needed? Can I reload it if needed?
Photoshop was the last version compiled for the PPC cpu, not Intel. 10.6.8 kept it going with the Rosetta emulator, gone since 10.7.
So, no CS2 won't work under 10.10
CS6 (permanent license) or Lightroom and Photoshop | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan is the way to go.

I'm having problems with my internet since I have upgraded. I am afraid to upgrade on my Macbook pro now. I don't want the upgrade to slow down my laptops. Any suggestions?
Wifi issues are one of the common issues being reported by users. There is not much you can do at this point but wait and hope that th 10.8.1 update will address these issues.

I have iPhone 4. I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7 because people have had issues with that. Is there a way I can just upgrade to iOS 6?
No, it is not possible. When upgrading the iOS on the phone, the only one you can install is the latest version, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.0.4.

TS4058 Why has iChat been taken from me? I don't want to upgrade to Lion!
Why has iChat been taken from me? I don't want to upgrade to Lion!
Hi,
iChat 5.x.x works in Snow Leopard.
(Older versions also work in earlier OS versions)
iChat 4 and iChat 5 had a method of getting to a registration page for @mac.com names.
The iChat version no longer does this (but the registration page still exists)
In addition to this if you selected AIM then the option does not work now as AIM moved their Registration pages soon after Snow Leopard came out.
@mac.com registration page
Keep the password to 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)
You cannot use an email that has already been used with or is an Apple ID.
AIM registration Page
You cannot exceed the 16 character limit here
You need an email for Confirmation and for Password recovery (You can use it again and again if you want to set up loads of names)
You can chose a Name or use an existing email.
iChat can also use Jabber IDs
Google Mail IDs can have Talk enabled in their Google Account settings and then it can be used in iChat
Facebook have a Chat option that needs enabling.
Both use Jabber servers and your ID with them is a Valid Jabber name.
There are lots of other Public Jabber servers.

How do I get out of this damn setup? I don't want any upgrade!
I don't want an upgrade to your software, but my pc keeps bugging me to do so. Same with google.com. I try to get out of the constant, annoying messages to sign up for this, sign up for that with no way to simply say NO THANKS! How can I go back to the old way. If I can't, simply tell me. I will open a new email account, close the old one and make sure I never put Firefox on the new account.
Are you meaning Firefox? (Firefox is in no way tied or associated with your Email address, so if this is an email issue, you'll have to contact whomever handles your email). Can you give a bit more detail as to your exact problem?
If you are meaning the upgrade to Firefox 12, this is a free update to old firefox software that introduces new features and security fixes. All older versions of Firefox are no longer supported, so you need to update to Firefox 12 in order to stay secure on the web. Not updating can leave you and your computer vulnerable to loss of information, hacks, viruses, etc. -
I have Firefox 4.01, retrieved (thankfully) after installing Firefox 5. I noticed upon installation that my Google Toolbar was gone and the notification said Google Toolbar was not compatible with the new version of Firefox. After retrieving the copy of 4.01 from oldversions.com, I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop? I'll upgrade when you make this version compatible with Google's Toolbar.
The replies don't address the question: "I started getting bombarded with requests to upgrade to Firefox 5.0. This goes on all day, all night...it never stops. Is there a place I can ask you guys to please stop?"
I have the same problem: I also don't want to upgrade to 5.0 (4.0 messed me up enough and I finally got that straightened out). How do I stop those annoying requests? It should have a "No" option.

Okay I use iPhoto 6 on an older mac and don't want to upgrade past 10.4.11. Can I upgrade iPhoto without the newer operating system? For the life of me I can't get iPhoto to recognize my camera reliably - although it does sometimes. Any advice, help?
The latest version of iPhoto which can operation with OS X 10.4.11 is iPhoto 7 which is part of iLife 08. You might be able to find a copy of iLIfe 08 on Amazon.com or Ebay.com.
iLife 08's full system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 processor
iMovie ’08 requires a Mac computer with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0 GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9 GHz or faster)
iDVD ’08 requires 733MHz or faster processor
512 MB of RAM; 1 GB recommended; high-definition video requires at least 1 GB of RAM
3 GB of available disk space
DVD drive required for installation

Just hangs until i kill process with task manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade to CC as I hate subscription services and often have internet connection services interuppted.
Which operating system are you using?
Resetting the photoshop preferences might cure the problem.
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys down just after starting the launch of photoshop 7
(Shift-Command-Option on a mac)
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes -
i have a Mac i5 and need to download the application 'Numbers' but everytime I try to do so, it says can't do as the ver 2.2 for the app needs new software 'Snow Leopard'. I don't want to upgrade but dont know what to do??
If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc. -
Running 5.01 don't want to upgrade to 6. How do I stop "updater" box everytime I start firefox?
I want to wait, but it asks every time. Wat a pain.
