I want to upgrade to Yosemite but I have questions

I have never upgraded my OS on my MAC, it's always worked fine, and still does. I'm still using OSX 10.6.8  but i'm thinking about upgrading to Yosemite. I have Word, Excel & Powerpoint, all 2008. I also Have Adobe Bridge CS4 and Photoshop Elements 8.0  I'm wondering if anyone knows if those programs will still work with the new OS, or am i about to be in the market for new software too?
Also, this Mac is pre-Cloud, will upgrading to Yosemite, make my Mac now a part of the cloud?
Any help is appreciated
TY!

I'm running Office 2008 on my 2011 iMac with 8 GB of memory and it runs fine.  I've got PSE 10 which also runs.  If you need to upgrade your PSE then the latest version would be the way to go.
PS CS4 should work with Yosemite as I'm running CS3 which works fine.  However, you'll need to download and install Java from this Apple webpage:  Java for OS X 2014-001 for both PS and PSE to run.
Definitely go to the Roaring Apps website and check out all of your 3rd party apps there before making the jump to see which will need to be upgraded.

  • 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.

  • Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite -  but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?

    Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite -  but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?
    Hi all.
    I am wondering if I upgrade to Yosemite is there a way that I will be able to downgrade / revert back to mountain lion if I find out that too many of my most essential applications  are no longer working?
    I have read there have been compatibility issues  between some of my most necessary / favourite applications I use in mountain lion and Mavericks,  which is why I never upgraded to Mavericks.
    However , I am noticing in the app store there are a lot of apps I am interested in which I no longer able to purchase / download because they require Yosemite, and mountain lion is out-dated.
    However, if I upgrade my OS, I am afraid of incompatibility with the most important apps in my workflow though.
    Thanks.

    Hi Arthur thank you very much for your response.
    Sorry for my late reply.
    My following question is summed up in the last sentence of this post.
    [is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive? Or can I make separate Time Machine backups for separate purposes?]
    I went ahead and installed Yosemite.
    There are some things I like about Yosemite and I might trial it for a little bit longer,
    but after a couple of days of trials and trying out, I've decided that I think I generally prefer mountain lion better,
    and I will reinstall it , and get a disk image of Yosemite and run that as a Virtual Machine when I need it.
    [^ This is what I should have done in the first place.]
    Before I installed Yosemite I [stupidly] used Time machine to back up only my application folders / application support / general system files,
    [I used system preferences to exclude everything else in the TM backup] so that I would not have to reinstall my applications / essential system structures.
    I did not back up the rest of my files and folders / whole machine though.
    I should have done this.
    I just didn't want to wait for about 800 gb of data to transfer [impatient].
    [in retrospect I should have run Yosemite through a virtual machine within Mountain Lion to see if I liked it before installing it completely].
    With Yosemite installed would I be able to make a SEPARATE time machine backup of all my files / documents / media folders in Time Machine on Yosemite, and use this to re-install these on Mountain lion if I downgrade ?
    Or is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive ?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    I've now installed the ad blocker, thrown away the unwanted files, and thrown away a copy of Firefox that Adware said had a problematic extension.
    Things are better, but still slow.
    Activity Monitor shows that with just Mail, Chrome and Excel running, 2.9GB of my 4GB RAM is used. Opening InDesign (always slow) increase that to 3.2GB. But the graph stays green.
    Console shows several potential problems but I don't know if any are significant. In any case I will call my Mac store tomorrow to ask their advice about RAM.

  • I have an iPad 2 and want to upgrade to ios5 but have no pc what can I do?

    I have an iPad 2 and want to upgrade to ios5 but have no pc what can I do?

    You can't do it without a computer, although once you get ios5 that necessity will be gone. I would recommend taking it into the apple store. They will do it for you.

  • I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

    I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
    Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
    The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
                "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
    Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
    - I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
    - in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.      
    If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.
    Cheers

    Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:

    If the site is still down (at least 12 hours) when you read this try [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A//kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Google's cache]
    Link or url would make it easier to see which page you tried rather than "your online solution for ...".

    I have an imac running 10.6.8, and want to update to Yosemite, but am unable to. What can I do?

    hi alan i run a business on ebay selling photos and negs. i recently installed yosemite and it locked my entire library on iphoto. when i try to download the app to free it from ishop it tells me there is a fault with the app and my  iphoto is frozen. i am basically out of work and finding it very hard to find someone who can help me unlock it.. look at the things being said about this yosemite  locking this.....freezing that... be very careful if you need your business for your livelyhood. the actual performance is really good.....better display ...much faster and well presented but is it worth having parts of your compy put out of action i possibly think not. i am new to this community so hopefully someone reading this may be able to advise us both.....paul

  • 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?        toshop keep working? Can I reload it  if needed?

    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 am running 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro 5.3. I want to upgrade to Maverick but am concerned that I will loose all contacts in my AddressBook. What can I do to save them?

    I am running 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro 5.3. I want to upgrade to Maverick but am concerned that I will loose all contacts in my AddressBook. What can I do to save them?

    File menu, Export, Address Book Archive. (I think that's where it is in SL).
    However, do you not have a full backup of your Mac? Upgrading without one is not really advisable unless your contacts are all you care about.

  • HT4623 i have iphone 4 with 4.3.2 version, i want to upgrade the software. but my phone is not getting synchronised on itunes and not getting detected. please help me

    i have an iphone 4 with 4.3.2 version, i want to upgrade the software. but my phone is not getting synchronised on itunes and not getting detected. also there is no update software tab under settings.please help me

    If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
    Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US is the article to use if you want to concentrate on trying to get a particular computer to recognize your phone

  • I want to upgrade to mavericks but my disk needs to be repaired but i have the wrong disk

    i want to upgrade to mavericks but my disk needs to be repaired with a disk. so i did a disk utility verify and it told me i needed to repair it with another disk. 
    but my mac was preinstalled with snowleopard and the disk that came with it is mac 10.5 so when i tried to do a start up with the disk it just freezes the moment i click on the start up disk. (did this by trying holding down option/alt button since holding down the C button just locks my screen to the gray screen)
    and 'repair disk' is greyed out.  and i read somewhere that you can't boot with a disk that is lower than what the mac is.
    what can i do?
    in case anyone asks for my model:
    it is a macbook pro early 2011 model with preinstalled snowleopard

    You need to boot using the 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD that you bought from the Apple Store.
    If your machine had 10.5 when you got it then in order to upgrade to 10.6.8 you must have purchased 10.6. If you've lost that DVD you can buy it again from the Apple Store.

  • I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!

    Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.
