Mac 2008 with yosemite reboots

why when exiting sleep mac 2008 with yosemite reboots?

I fully understand, BDA, and I would expect it of you, being the helpful man that you are. 
I just think that the less extraneous clutter in a forum, the less likely there will be posts by other stray posters in the forums.
The thing with Yosemite is that the beast is loaded with bugs and idiosyncrasies that Apple has not been able to fix yet.  As we both know, Apple usually doesn't get a major new release even halfway right until the dot five update, and Yosemite is barely at 10.10.2, a very long way before 10.10.5 or 10.10.6.
Many pros at the Adobe Photoshop forums have been forced to downgrade to Mavericks as the only way to cope for now.

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

    That could be the problem. If you actually mean DWCS6 and not DWCC 2014.1.1 when you say "latest" (check out Help > About Dreamweaver for your actual version) it requires the older Java SE 6 to be installed on the Mac. See if reinstalling it helps...
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    If you're using DWCC 2014 and updated your OS after having DW installed, you may need to reinstall to work out the kinks. Using the Cleaner Tool from Adobe to reinstall will give you a completely fresh installation...

    Just bought a Refurbished Macbook Pro with Retina Display 15.4in (Feb. 2013) and was wondering if it came pre installed with Mavericks.
    I would doubt it as Mavericks was only released a few days ago. Check under About This Mac and it will tell you what OSX it is running.

  • Mac Book with Yosemite

    Was just about to buy a new Mac book Pro.  Do I wait now for the new version with Yosemite?

    Will a current MBP model fulfill your current and anticipated needs?  If so, purchase it, if not wait and you may find that the wait is warranted or perhaps not.
    In regards to the OSX, Apple has yet to introduce one that cannot be installed in several past generations of MBPs.  I do not view that as a determinant in the decision of purchasing a MBP.

  • FamilyTreeMaker 3 for MAC (application) with Yosemite OS X 10.10.1

    FTM is a genealogy program providing a database of vitals of all your family - descendants and ancestors.
    This application was flawless under OS Mavericks, but when I upgraded to Yosemite in August 2014, a
    strange abnormality became evident.
    The display screen for an individual identifies the NAME in the top centre of that person's data. The background
    for that NAME is highlighted in dark blue to make it more evident. This worked with Mavericks, but it doesn't work
    with Yosemite. ANCESTRY, the owner of that software, have moved on and do not support FTM 2. There is no "fix"
    in the works, but you can buy an upgrade to FTM 3 (for $28 US). The system requirements quote "Mavericks OS
    X 10.9". A telephone call today suggested that Yosemite 10.10.1 should be OK ???????? Why buy it?
    It looks like the invisible attribute for this field is wrong and the field is being grayed-out, rather than having a dark
    blue background. The spouse's name is directly below the grayed-out name. You can switch the 2 names in order
    to get the spouse's details. When the names are reversed, the spouse becomes the prime display and her name
    gets grayed-out. When the husband's name is displayed below hers, his name becomes visible.

    The problem lies in the display of the NAME field, when FTM is in Person mode.
    While all of the data displayed for that person is correct, ONLY the NAME field
    for that person is at fault. I should be able to read that name in the NAME field at
    the top centre of the active window. (The name should also be highlighted in dark blue).
    Instead, the name field is grayed-out). Switching to the spouse's name, brings her data
    into display, but now her name is grey-out.

  • HT202337 list all-day events in day view on Mac icalendar with Yosemite upgrade

    Before I upgraded to Yosemite, I loved that the day view of the iCalendar on the Mac showed all the calendar events (including all-day events) in a list view. Now that I have upgraded, the day view shows in the same format as week view with timed events primarily displayed and all-day events at the top in a small section with a scroll bar.  I use all-day events a lot, and would much prefer the list of events (including all-day events) when looking at the day view!  (It is this way on the iPhone, but no longer on the Mac icalendar.)  How can I get back to this listed events in the day view?? Or if not, is there a way to move down the bar underneath the all-day events section (to show more of the all-day events at a time)? PLEASE? Help??  Thank you in advance!!

  • Macbook late 2008 with Yosemite freezing

    I have a late 2008 aluminum 13-inch Macbook running OS X 10.10.1 with a 320 GB (170 of which are free) WD Scorpio Blue hard drive, Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of RAM. Yosemite worked lovely for the first month, but since then my laptop started crashing every week or two, with the so-called "Spinning beachball of Death" going on for even hours. After forcing it to shut down by holding the power button, and turning it on again, it gets stuck either at either the password screen or the desktop screen, both with the spinning beachball.
    After that, I have had to use my external backup hard drive to recover my internal hard drive and get it working again. I've had to use this process at least 6 or 7 times.
    I've considered going back to OS X 10.9 to see if the problem is that my 6-year-old laptop cannot handle 10.10...
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    The next time the problem happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run. Be selective about what you post and don’t  post huge amounts. Make sure there is no personal data visible. Information learned from Linc Davis.

  • My Mac Air with Yosemite will not go to sleep

    I don't know exactly when this started but I noticed that even after my Mac had been closed all day it was still running.
    I followed some support forums and tried to make sure wake on lan etc. was turned off, but even just Apple -> Sleep fails to put the computer into sleep mode.
    OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 Mac Air 11 Mid 2013

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computer will not sleep if some sharing services are enabled.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
    and uncheck both boxes marked
              Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
    Step 4
    Disconnect all wired peripherals and test. If you use a wired keyboard and/or mouse, use different ones. You must rule out the wired keyboard and mouse as possible causes of the problem.
    Step 5
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 6
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after restarting out of safe mode, post again.

  • Imac 24" - 2008 with yosemite - bluetooth issue?

    Hello everyone,
    My computer was working fine after downloading yosemite, but all of the sudden (I haven't installed any software or hardware prior to this issue)
    I have received this panic report a couple of times after attempting to run a diagnostic by holding "D" (it didn't work)
    The reason why I tried running this diagnose is because my bluetooth is out of commission and my booting time is anywhere from 2.5 - 5 minutes.
    I'm able to see the bluetooth icon, but i cannot turn it off or pair to anything. I have deleted the plist file and I also did the "pvram" (spelling) and another reset and didn't work.
    could someone take a look at this report and Hopefully shed some light on the issue?

    I have a different prolem - my Apple Wireless Keyboard will not connect.  This started after the latest update installation.  After "removing" the device (in Bluetooth Preferences), it will find the keyboard, but will not pair with it.
    Any suggestions, anyone???

  • Mac OS X Yosemite Reboot Loop

    Hey guys,
    I just upgraded to Yosemite a couple of days ago and it was working fine. Now,while using it the OS suddenly crashed and now I can't turn it on - it makes the startup chime and the apple logo appears alogn with the bar. However, when the bar gets to about half way the computer just unexpectedly reboots. I have tryed everything I can think of and nothing works:
    Cmnd+option+p+r reboot to clear RAM
    Option rebot to show all drives
    D reboot to check for hardware errrors
    Shift reboot to enter safe mode
    Pull power cord then on button for 5 seconds to reset power adapter
    Each one of these did nothing to help with the startup. Am I missing something here?  I have a early 2011 MacBook Pro.
    Cheers,
    Toast

    I hope you can help me like you helped yourself..
    I tried installing Yosemite on my 17 inch MacBook Pro. Was a disaster...
    "cannot install on this computer" type message after about 25 min wait for scrolling...tried to simply close the install... that didn't work either...now stuck in a loop and can't get rid of the upgrade stuff... if I restart...it starts trying to install OS X again.. and another 22 min wait.. to read that it can't be installed...I don't know what to do. I am not a computer whiz.. and am scared that I may have done something to really foul things up here

  • Problems with Yosemite (reboot and choppy screen image)

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite. I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" and am running 10.10.2
    In all my years of using OSX I think I have been forced to do a hard restart MAYBE 6 times. Ever. And I've been here from the beginning of OSX and before. Since updating maybe two or three weeks ago I have had to hard restart about a dozen times. I am disappointed. The computer becomes non-responsive, yet I don't see the spinning beachball. It just - freezes. I hold down the power button and chug along until the next time.
    Additionally, occasionally when using safari the screen gets kind of separated. For instance, if I click on something to go to a new page, part of the screen remains on the old screen and sort of flashes back and forth from old screen to new screen. IDK if that makes any sense. I've not been able to figure a pattern as of yet.
    I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing such oddities. Also, if anyone has any idea what I can do about these problems I'd be happy to entertain them.

    You can also try the Safe Mode to reset things.
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.
