i have 10.6.8 and upgrading os to yesomite, should i reinstall my all softwares after upgrade os?
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Yosemite, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of Yosemite by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.10 Yosemite from the Mac App Store.

I have Photoshop Elements 8 and upgraded to Plus but am not able to access themes, content, etc. that are Plus eligible. Any suggestions? I have tried twice through support and online to no avail.
When I'm in Editor, I see the themes, some have a gold bar (which I understand is for Plus people) these are the ones that I can't use, when I click on them, nothing happens. When I click on the others they open fine. I haven't opened both Elements and Premier, just Elenments 8 as that is what I have. I'll check it out. Is it possible some some setting that needs to be changed? Thanks for your help!

Subject: I have Photoshop Elements 8 and upgraded to Plus but am unable to access themes, content , etc.
Well, I don't work for Adobe or Photoshop.com -- and I don't know enough about your situation to even guess.
But:
a) You've logged in to Photoshop.com with both Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements, right?
b) Both programs are fully registered and activated using your Adobe ID, right?
c) In Premiere Elements, under Themes, do you see any themes listed that have a blue or yellow ribbon over and upper right or upper left corner? -
Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing the following problem and knows a solution. I know a few friends who are also having the issue so its obviously something wrong with IOS7.
Basically I have an iphone 4 and upgraded to v7 and most recently v7.0.2. When I am on calls the phone started to beep and vibrate and sometimes change the call to speaker. It seems to be that the screen is sometimes active whilst on calls and so my ear is actually pressing the buttons and hitting numbers or changing it to speaker phone. It has also cancelled a call a few times.
This is extremely annoying and makes every call a worry.
Any ideas of how to solve this problem?I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

In Safari, the link to "mail this web page" doesn't work, and the share link shows "no service". Does anyone have a solution? I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Yosemite yesterday.
See here: If sharing options and Markup are missing after you install OS X Yosemite

I set up iPhoto v9.6 to copy items to library. Now I would like to change it to not copy. Do I have to start completely over? I have 106GB of photos and tags in my library. Will I lose all that work? Originally I thought by copying items to library I would be making an exact copy of my originals and that would serve as a duplicate or backup copy. My originals are on my EHD#1 and my iPhoto library is on my EHD#2. But now I realize that I can not view my iPhoto library unless my EHD#2 is connected to my computer (duh!!) So now I would like to NOT copy times to library and I want to have the library in the Pictures folder on my laptop HD. So I guess my question is do I have to start completely over? Is there some way to salvage all the work I've done so far?
Yes you would have to start over from scratch.
But you should really think this through very carefully. Experienced users do not recommend iPhoto used in this mode, and with very good reasons. Among them
1. It's more work for exactly no gain
2. It's unreliable - especially - when the library is on one volume and the photos are on another. One change to the path between the files and the library and you'll be reconnecting every photo in the Library back to the database, one by one.

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

I'm a creative cloud member and just noticed that actually have 3 different versions of InDesign installed in my pc. CC and CC 64bit version + the new InDesign CC 2014. I just can't understand why i ended up having all these versions. Should Ikeep the older versions or uninstal them and just keep the CC 2014 version? I'm relatively new user for InDesign and I don't even have any projects with older versions that I would have worked with. Just in the learning curve at the moment with this software. Please advice.
BR.
RistoHi [email protected],
You can uninstall the older versions and start using the new version i.e CC2014 version. CC 2014 release is the major release and also the upgrade will not upgrade your CC application to CC 2014 but that is a different software . That is the reason why you have 3 versions of same application.
You can try the links to learn InDesign:

I would like to have just one itunes account. Is there anyway to do that? Right now I have too many accounts and all on different computers. I would like to combine them and just have one place for all my music, books, movies and games. I would need a step by step easy to understand method. Help!!! One Library to rule them all. Lol
I see what your problem is. You are physically connected the devices. It would be better if the information was in iCloud. Then they all would sync instantly.
