Occasionally flickering iMac screen after installing Yosemite
Occasionally flickering iMac ()intel) screen after installing Yosemite. Cannot yet specify when the flickering occurs, but it cover large sections of the screen. Absolutely annoying.
I also have this issue but only below 6 screen illumination steps (bars)
This flickering issue is active after waking up from sleep os screen sleep and if I increase the screen light to a setting higher than 6 screen step for a wile (30 seconds or so) and the reduce the light to a level below 6 steps it usually holds on without flickering.
This happens on an late 2009 iMac with nvidia card running OS X 10.10 and apple later upgrades but not (until now) on another same age and OS X version iMac I have but instead of the nvidia card it has an ATI
Question:
Has anyone tried to use the Mavericks nvidia graphic card driver with Yosemite?

Occasional bursts of noise after installing Yosemite
Since installing Yosemite on my late 2008 Mac Pro, I have been experiencing occasional loud bursts of static from my speakers - possibly 3 or 4 times a day - lasting 5-10 seconds. There does not appear to be any relationship to what applications are running, or any external source, and the volume keys on my Logitech wireless keyboard have no effect on the noise. I have noticed that if I touch the face of the computer when the noise is present, the sound is affected - usually becoming louder. It quits as abruptly as it starts. The noise first started on reboot of the new OS and has happened every day since. Aside from this, everything else seems to be running perfectly.

White screen after installing yosemite
I was upgrading to yosemite and when i restarted my computer i am stuck on a blank white screen. i have tried all of the resets available and nothing is working. Any insight?
Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. 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. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. -
Macbook Air Late 2010 display flickers after installing Yosemite
Hi !
I'm from Germany.
i have upgraded my Macbook Air, Late 2010 from Mountain Lion to Yosemite last Saturday.
The Installation works fine. At the first Time i have no problems, but:
One Day later i start my Macbook Air normally. Now the left side of the screen is flickering.
There are vertical lines to see. The right side of the integrated screen is ok.
i have resetted the SMC and the Power Management.
Please help, what can i do ?
Greetings
iRoGoI noticed a similar issue with my MBA 2012 after installing Yosemite. The screen flickers slightly most of the time now. It's more noticeable with dark backgrounds. It almost 'vibrates' and is very annoying. Reminds me of an old monitor with a low refresh rate. I reset the SMC, PRAM, etc. and contacted Apple, who had me go through the same steps. The flickering is still present when booted into Recovery Mode. When I boot into Safe Mode the issue gets dramatically worse and I see screen artifacts like iRoGo describes -- parts of the screen blanking out, whole screen/parts of the screen flickering on and off, lines appearing, etc. It's basically unusable in Safe Mode.
At this point the issue seems to be hardware-related (i.e. issue persists in even in Recovery Mode), but I'm suspicious seeing that it manifested right after installing Yosemite. I will be bringing my MBA to Apple for service later this week... -

EVERYTHING - Safari, QuickTime, MS Word for Apple, the DVD Player, everything - runs slowly and I get the "rainbow pinwheel of frustration". It's taken me three minutes to type these few sentences. It's really starting to frustrate me. Here is my EtreCheck report:
Problem description:
Since I installed the latest Yosemite update (10.10.2), EVERYTHING runs slowly. I get the rainbow pinwheel whenever I click on anything on Safari, and have trouble typing via Safari; videos stop and start on QuickTime; MS Word for Apple runs slowly - EVERYTHING seems to be slowed down. It took four minutes to get the above sentences typed. Please help me escape the “rainbow pinwheel of failure”!

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!
The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

IPhoto not working after installing Yosemite
After installing Yosemite the iPhoto icon on the dock has a circle/line symbol superimposed. Get a message saying iPhoto needs to be updated, but when I try to update I get "Update unavailable for this Apple ID." (I have used my current Apple ID at least since 2011, and have used it to update iPhoto previously.)
Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it. Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list. This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)

Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite
Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite. This is not good. Apparently, a lot of people are having this issue with Yosemite. Any suggestions for my MacBook Pro? It's bad enough that Yosemite looks so boring, but to have a major issue like constantly disconnecting from wifi is deplorable.
I plan to keep Mavericks on my iMac until this issue is resolved.Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity

Mac stuck restarting after installing Yosemite
My 2011 MBP has been stuck "restarting" for about an hour now after installing Yosemite. The striped loading bar is grey and stationary but the charcoal circle is spinning underneath. Any suggestions? Do I leave it run overnight and call support in the morning? Thankfully this happened after Midterms, but I'm afraid I'll lose everything if I turn it off. (I decided to upgrade on a whim...I know...and the last backup is from the beginning of the summer. :/ )
Same thing happened to me - except, of course, that I made a back-up before installing Yosemite. I could not get my machine to boot - it would get stuck exactly the same way as yours. I tried for hours - and nothing...
I finally wiped my HD and used time machine to install my latest back-up. Without such a back-up, I don't know what options you have. Your best bet is probably this:
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar -
Volume quit working after installing Yosemite.
After installing Yosemite on my new macbook pro I noticed that my volume controls didn't work on the keyboard and were "grayed" out on the task bar and in system preferences and unusable. I restarted the computer and they came back on. Now I notice that many times when I start the computer it happens again and can only be fixed by restarting the computer again. Any suggestions?
Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it. Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list. This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)
