Odd things happening since upgrading to Yosemite

I have an iMac - 24" screen from Feb. 2008 - 4 GB ram, have upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2) and have the latest iOS 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5, which I use as a tether to the internet.
A few days ago, when booting up, my normal startup screen appears, but then it slides over to the Dashboard briefly, then slides back to the normal screen, where the Maps icon has appeared in the dock and is jumping up and down. I don't use Maps at all (have never used it) , and have tried various ways of getting rid of it at startup, including changing various settings on my iPhone.
In addition, when typing messages like this one or in Mail, and while using Pages, when I try to highlight a phrase to erase it, a popup menu appears when I am using the Mouse or trackpad, and this popup menu will not disappear easily. It sometimes takes four or five clicks to get it to disappear, and it is a real nuisance.
As I have noticed others with similar problems since upgrading to Yosemite, I thought that putting this question under the Using Yosemite area of the postings would be the best.

It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

Can't save to OS X Server from Microsoft Word since upgrading to Yosemite

When I am working on a Word Document and I click "save" the box pops up and every folder on my local computer is available as a location save my file, but my server is not. it simply does not show up. I can save to my local drive and then drag it over to my server through finder, but I cannot actually save the file directly from word to the server. This has only happened since upgrading to Yosemite and server 4.0

Word isn't able to save on a SMB volume, the problem is not limited to Yosemite, also on Mavericks. There is an easy solution (on Mavericks, which I tested, and hope that will do so under Yosemite, tomorrow I will test). Unmount the volumes that You want to work with, from the finder select Connect (Shift-CMD-K) and give the address of the volume with the prefix afp instead of SMB (afp://192.168.1.1 or similar). That will do it!

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I hit either apostrophe or quotation key in Apple Mail , that starts new paragraph

Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I hit either apostrophe or quotation key in Apple Mail, that starts new paragraph like I am hitting the return/enter key right next to the key I am hitting.
I've eliminated the possibility that I suffer from fat finger syndrome by ruling out the issue in other apps like Pages/Word (apostrophe/quotation works fine). This is only happening in Apple Mail. Example: [ Can't ] appears as [ Can' ] with [ t ] as the start of a new paragraph. I use an Apple wireless keyboard, so I also tried using an Apple keyboard connected by USB port. Still have the same issue in Apple Mail, but not in other apps.
Any idea what this is?

Update.
This only happens when I am typing above my signature information or replying to an email when the body of the email I am responding to included. Does not happen when I am typing a blank email.
Thanks,

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't upgrade I Photo.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't upgrade IPhoto. It gives me this error "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."

Do SMC and PRAM reset and see what happens. Is your CD drive connected directly to the Mini? Perhaps it needs cleaning.

Can't open Word Excel or Powerpoint since upgrade to Yosemite

Since upgrading to Yosemite I am unable to open Word Excel and Powerpoint

I'm not sure if you exactly mean what you mean.
Are you not able to save an attachement or are you not able to download a file?
For the first case: is the attachement showing up in Mail? If so, what happens when simply clicking on the attachement?
For the second case: check your download-location configured in Safari to ensure you save to a directory available for write-access.

Asked to Sign-in to iCloud every time I start my Mac since upgrading to Yosemite

Since upgrading to Yosemite every time I start my computer it goes through the normal grey screen stage and then I get to login as normal. After logging in I then get asked to sign-in to iCloud. I sign-in successfully and agree to the terms and conditions, choose to upgrade to iCloudDrive and then it says setting up my Mac, which takes about 20 seconds before the desktop displays. I'd expect this behaviour on the first reboot after installing Yosemite but it's asking me to sign-in to iCloud every time I restart and taking me through all these steps!
I'm on iMac, Late 2012, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB

Just to say I never found a solution to this after hours of looking for answers and trying different things. I finally decided to take the plunge and reformat my hard drive and reinstall OS X Yosemite and now is all good on this front.

Since upgrading to Yosemite I am getting frequently "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again"

Since upgrading to Yosemite on my iMac I am frequently getting "safari can't open the page (blank) because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection this sometimes occurs when the server is busy. wait and then try again". This is with both a WiFi and Ethernet connection. The server is working fine from other devices using WiFi onto it such as iPhones, iPads, MacBook (which is also on Yosemite) so don't believe its an issue with the server.
I am also noticing page load very slowly when this problem is not occurring.

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. 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.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Since upgrading to yosemite, I can't connect to the app store (or icloud).

I have a Macbook air, early 2014.
Since upgrading to Yosemite, can't connect to the App Store (Message: Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance. ) or to iCloud ( You can’t sign in at this time. Try signing in again.).
I have another Macbook air (late 2013) running mavericks that is connecting without any problem. I can also login in two different iPads (iOS 8), one iPhone (iOS 8) and in icloud.com.
Have spent more than one hour with support on the phone. Tried safe boot, login with a different apple id, reseting pram, running disk utility... No success.
I could upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 by restarting without the need to insert the apple id, so I am with the latest version running. Still no success.
Any ideas ?
Many thanks,
Alysson

Slow since upgrading to yosemite

Hello I'm a new mac user and need some info.
I noticed that my mac is a bit slower since upgrading to Yosemite.
I get to see many times when opening an app the spinning colourful ball.
I did an etrecheck since i read on an over discussion that this might help resolving my problem.
Thank you

Computer randomly shuts down/Very unstable since upgrade to yosemite

Since upgrading to yosemite my computer has become very unstable.
For anyone that can help with what may be causing this issue I would really
appreciate it. As for "Adobe" being a possible cause, how can I determine
which Adobe program and related files are the culprit?
Thank you very much to anyone who offer's their support and help.

A number of problems exist including the likelihood of system corruption as a result of using CleanMyMac.
It is not reasonable to expect a Mac to operate normally after using CleanMyMac. Like many ill-conceived "cleaning" utilities, it is capable of corrupting a Mac to the point that erasing it completely is the only practicable means of recovery. CleanMyMac is not the only example; it is merely popular due to marketing strategies that are as effective as they are intrusive.
There is no practicable way to reverse the effects of having used CleanMyMac2 other than to reinstall all affected files from backups or their original sources. Its developer's uninstallation instructions are ineffective despite their recent claims to the contrary. Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason for that, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
Reinstalling OS X alone will have no effect on either removing CleanMyMac or reversing the damage it is capable of inflicting upon a system.
Besides CleanMyMac2, garbage "cleaning" and "anti-virus" software exists, specifically "Avast", "Smith Micro", and "Symantec / Norton". Those products should not be installed on any Mac, because they convey no benefit and are only capable of creating or contributing to problems.
In addition, that Mac's Hosts file appears to have been modified. Fixing a modified Hosts file requires specific instructions. Apple Support Communities contributor and EtreCheck author etresoft recently added a User Tip discussing that concern, and how to correct it: Fixing a hacked /etc/hosts file
The recovery procedure that follows will obviate the need to correct all those separate problems and is likely to require the least amount of your time and interaction.
Follow the applicable recovery procedure below:
If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, boot OS X Recovery, and at the Mac OS X Utilities screen, choose Restore from Time Machine Backup. Choose a date preceding the installation of CleanMyMac.
If you do not have a backup that predates the use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
The recovery procedure will require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user whose contents will be empty. You will then be able to use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents including photos, music, work products and other essential files.
When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices.
Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.
To erase and install Yosemite read: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
To migrate your essential documents read: OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device and follow the procedure under Transfer info from a Time Machine backup or other storage device.
