Newly bought 2012 model mini - Do I update to Yosemite now?

I had read that some with old models encountered problems after they updated to Yosemite because they already had a lot of stuff. Since mine is newly bought and I haven't put stuff yet, is it good idea to update to Yosemite now to avoid problems or the issue would still happen anyway after updating to Yosemite?

If Yosemite is going to cause a problem, it's likely to do it whether you have migrated your data to your new Mac or not. Personally, I would wait to upgrade because Yosemite was just released. Their will be updates to fix bugs as the weeks go along. Just my opinion.

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
so it is completely unresponsive.
I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
Thanks

I bought Lightroom 5 and have always updated it. Now on my new Mac Book I cannot update it anymore.

I bought Lightroom 5 and have always updated it. Then my Mac Book pro crashed and I had to by a new Mac. I installed Lightroom via my backup on the Time Machine. That went well, now I though cannot get a new download of Lightroom. Do I need to by a new version of Lightroom if I have a new Mac, and if yes how can I transfer my pictures into the new Lightroom? I would have a free version of Lightroom 5 left over from buing a Leica camera, can that be used? Can Lightroom 5 be updated to Lightroom 6??

Hi Leslie,
Kindly find the latest download link for lightroom 5.7.1

Macbook Air bought in 2014 running Mavericks cannot update to Yosemite

Hello everyone.
First of all, my main question has already been mentioned in the title. I have a Macbook Air which I bought this year itself, somewhere in July. So it is not that old. It's been running Mavericks right out of the box.
Now to tell the error that I am getting.
...is what I get each time I click the "Free Upgrade" button in the app store. Please tell all the possible solutions to this problem, apart from an OS reinstall and taking it to a service center, because them both seem too obvious. And I will not try a force install of Yosemite, because there must be a reason as for why App Store is not allowing me to update.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to log out and log in to the store? (menu-->store-->Log out)

Recently updated to Yosemite - now BIG problems

I have a 2010 Macbook - 2Gb Ram. I updated OS to Yosemite. Now everything runs painfully slow! I now hear lots of people are having problems with Yosemite and its Ram hungry so not a good idea on a Mac with just 2 Gb Ram. Can I go back to an older OS and if so which one should I chose? Simple answers please - Im not very techy.
Thanks

All Mac OS X versions from Lion through Yosemite specify 2 GB ram, but the OS X takes up 1.5 GB of that leaving very little for applications to use. One solution would be to increase your ram to 4 Gb or more by going to OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com where you get quality, guaranteed ram.
Or, if you had Snow Leopard before the upgrade you can go back to that OS X. If you have a TimeMachine backup, simply startup on the install disk and erase the hard drive and restore from the TimeMachine backup.
See: OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version
If there is no TM backup, startup on the Snow Leopard disk, select Disk Utility and erase the hard drive then Install Mac OS X.

Update to Yosemite now iPhoto does not work

Upgraded to Yosemite. Now the iPhoto says that I need to upgrade to the latest version. It goes on to say that "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I then search the app store and it says "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Canadian Store". What do I do? Thank you for any help.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Updated to yosemite, now in iPhoto when I try to send a photo I get the following error'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'. Help please.

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Yosemite. I tried to send a picture out from iPhoto as I regularly do without issue. Now I get this error message, 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'. Can you help please?

Try rebuilding your iPhoto library. Directions are simple Rebuilding the iPhoto library. Please post back after doing the rebuild and then re-testing.

Updated to yosemite now screen white

Have late 2007 iMac with enough memory/other to climb up to Yosemite. Had OS X 10.4.11. Installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 just fine. Downloaded Yosemite fine. Installed it overnight. This morning screen said needed to restart, asked for password. Did it. As it is restarting the progress bar shows for a minute or two (as it's progressing), then the screen just goes white and stays white for quite awhile.Have manually turned off unit a few times and same scenario happens. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello blueyami,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it looks like your computer is getting stuck on a gray screen when booting up after upgrading to Yosemite. To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below.

SINCE UPDATING TO YOSEMITE NOW UNABLE TO FIND OLD EMAILS WITH NAME RECOGNITION

Apple Desktop
Since changing over to Yosemite i am now unable to find groups of old emails, if i type in say travelzoo i used to be able to find all the old emails, but since 31st January when we changed to Yosemite now it shows no old emails in a block form Can you help please

When you type travelzoo into the search field, does it make any token suggestions such as People or Name, or does it provide no search tokens?
If you don't get any, try reindexing Spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support

IPhoto update failure after updating to yosemite

Updated to yosemite, now I can't use iPhoto without updating that too.
Error message when I try to update iPhoto : "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled". Neither is true, no other option or explanation given. The iPhoto was bundled with the computer when I bought it in 2009, never had any updating problems until now, checked Apple ID and it is the correct one. This was obviously caused by the update so why is a fix not obviously available. Makes me wonder what other problems will arise.
How can I get the proper update?

That means, that iPhoto has not been associated with your AppleID. You do not say, which iPhoto version you are trying to update from.
Associating iPhoto with your AppleID should have happened, when you bought the computer with iPhoto preinstalled with MacOS X Lion or later or with the Mavericks upgrade, if your Mac came with SnowLeopard. Try, if you can "accept" iPhoto now:
Sign into the AppStore with your AppleID
Open the "Purchased" tab. Do you see iPhoto with an "Accept" button?
Accepting associates your Apple ID with the preinstalled iPhoto. It should move iPhoto from the "Accept" portion of the App Store to the "Purchased" tab. After that, you should be able to update iPhoto from the Updates tab of the AppStore.
If you do you not see the update there, try to buy iPhoto. iPhoto may show for free, so you do not have to pay again.
Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, otherwise you cannot buy it again. But do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
After you update iPhoto, your iPhoto Library will need upgrading. Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before you open iPhoto the first time after updating.

Can't switch audio tracks after updating to Yosemite

Previously, I was able to choose different audio tracks in the QuickTime Player (for instance, director commentary or stereo vs. surround sound) in Mavericks, but now after updating to Yosemite, whenever I try to change the language/track by using the on-screen shortcut or by going to View -> Languages, it shows "English" listed twice with check marks next to each.
There is no way to select one of the other because it seems both are checked, though, obviously, it only uses the first in the list.
I have used QuickTime Player to switch audio tracks on all my files before updating to Yosemite, now it doesn't work for any. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Seems like a bug. Are they aware of the issue?

im running OSX 10.7.4

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins). How do I fix this?

My Macbook Pro, bought 2012, takes a very long time to start up/restart (5 mins) every single time I have shut it down. I try not to shut it down at all now because once or twice, I have got a grey screen, and then nothing. I've held down the power button to shut down again and restart How do I fix all this?

Start up with your built-in Recovery disk by holding down the Command and R keys when starting. Open Disk Utility from there and use it to REPAIR your disk (you've already verified it and it came up with errors).
With any luck, your problems will be solved. While I was there, I would also repair permissions.
Good luck,
Clinton

I had my mac mini in repair now i am missing server update and they want me to pay for it but i bought a mac mini server

i bought my mac mini server with leopard server softw. but because i bought it in 2011 okt they gave me a free update to lion os incl server. after a half year i have to send me mac mini to repair because something was wrong with the hard drive. they fixt the problem and put on a new version of lion os. but they did not put the server version on it. they told me that i have to downl it for free. but it does not come for free.
The problem is before the repair they gave me the free version of lion osx server. because i bought a server version mac mine. but now after repair i only get a version of lion osx without the server software. and i do not have any ideay how to contact them about it tru mail. because calling them is at this moment no option for me.
how do i get my server version back without paying. and i dont have a paid version in my app store list because they gave me that for free with a code at that time ,
greetzzzz to all you that can help me

I had this problem as well. I was under the gun on time and just purchased it anyway. After installation I contacted support and they refunded me the amount.
You should have a backup of your servers regardless of circumstances. You would then be able to restore the server software.
When Apple repair machines they will often just swap it or swap the hard disk and will not make any effort to transfer your files. They assume you are doing a backup. Anybody running servers absolutely has a responsibility to ensure they have aduequate backups even more than 'normal' users. While Time Machine may not be wholely suitable for backing up servers Time Machine is so simple even normal users can use it and therefore no longer have any excuse for not doing backups.
