OS X Yosemite Screwed Up Internet

Is anybody else having the same issues as me. Ever since I update to the new OS X Yosemite, I'm having a hard time connecting to internet and do simple email that I could use to do faster with the previous OS X. The internet says Im not connected when my other devices is connected.
This is frustrating and I've restarted my computer but ever since the update, I'm having a hard time doing stuff on the internet. And this is ALL browsing apps like Google Chrome, FireFox etc.......
BTW, I find it odd that I can go to the Apple.com website and it loads fine but when I open another web page, it says not connected to the internet. I go back to apple.com to see if I am online and sure enough I am. This is crazy and ridiculous!!!!
Anybody have suggestions for me???
Thanks,
Steven

Be careful.  You need to take some extra steps if you are going to revert to Mavericks.  After you install Yosemite, Time Machine data needs some tweaking before Mavericks will be able to recognize it properly and restore your data.  There were special instructions posted on the Beta site telling us how to safely remove Yosemite and re-install Mavericks, but that page has been modified in the past few days and that part was removed.  I asked that Apple re-post it someplace where we can find it again.  Wait for that.  It's a pain to wait, and might cost you, but you're taking your chances unless you follow those instructions.

  • Problem with connecting to a website.  Just purchased a new iMac with Version 10.10.2 Yosemite.  Once in a while I have trouble connecting to a site.  It takes forever.  Is this an issue with Yosemite or my internet service?

    I purchased this iMac in Feb. 2015.  When I try to connect to a web site using Safari or Google Chrome I usually have no problems getting connected to the site.  But maybe once a day I will try to connect and I will see the blue progress bar at the top of the screen showing it is trying to connect and then it just stops.  It may take a couple of minutes before it connects to the site. 
    Would this be a problem with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 ?  Or would this be a problem with my internet company? 
    Thank you,
    Laurie

    Hi lauriefrommi,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    i understand that you have some intermittent webpage loading issues while using Safari on your Mac. In this situation, to ensure that Safari is working as it should, I would suggest reading over the attached article and using the information to make sure Safari has no unsupported third-party add-ons. 
    Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues - Apple Support

  • Yosemite screwed up my iMac

    So I decided to upgrade to Yosemite straight from Lion (Pls don't ask me irrelevant questions like why I didn't go through maverick, etc etc, I didn't feel the need to)
    Now with 4GB of RAM, I have probably the slowest, the most frustrating computer on the planet,
    1.  It's painfully Crawls, not even walks,
    2.  Keeps dropping the WiFi connection randomly and more important, keeps FORGETTING my WiFi connections when it drops them, so I have to add the connection manually every single time.
    3.  When I right click on a file, to chose 'Open with', it takes forever to 'Fetch' the list of applications that i can open the file with, sometimes even failing to do so, so I have click somewhere else and then right click again,
    4.  When I open a folder, it takes forever to draw the icons and while its getting them to appear, the finder window is frozen,
    5.  Everything, EVERY THING, crawls, opening any non-apple app is a nightmare, trying to open a microsoft office document completely make the iMac un-usable for like 3 - 4 minutes, Don't even ask about Google Chrome,
    6.  I don't even use Apple Mail, which has been said to be the cause of the memory leaks and high CPU usage,
    7.  Even the internet access appears slower compared to my windows PC,
    8.  When I try to drag a window, any window, across the screen, it NEVER happens on the first try, because its frozen, specially apps like photoshop, chrome, evernote, etc.
    Now I have tried almost ALL the solutions popular on the internet, including turning off the bells and whistles by reducing transparency, changing the dock pop-up effect, rebooting into safe mode, fixing my disk permissions, resetting my System Management Controller (SMC), resetting my PRAM, replacing the Network Configuration & Preference Files for WiFi, switching to G band, Creating a New Wi-Fi Network Location with Custom DNS, whatever i could find on the internet, including this forum,
    Everything except a clean install, but Nothing. The machine I have here is NOT the Mac I used to have and like. It *****.
    This same iMac was what i used to call 'Awesome' just before this update when it had Lion.
    Even TEXTEDIT takes like 30 seconds to open and shows a spinning wheel for like 10 seconds, for god's sake.
    Why is Apple always so Dumb, Arrogant, Un-responsive to user's problems, aren't they making a **** lot of money already from us ? Can't they hire better brains who'll not push out updates before they are tested across hardware ?
    Or at least some PR staff who listens to user's feedback on their own forums and responds, not in copied-pasted dumb text from their website though, instead of sitting around in their offices playing on their iPads ?
    If an OS is SO resource-intensive, why push it to older models, do they want to make everyone buy more RAM and newer hardware every time something new comes along ?
    I'm regretting trying this update. Could anyone please advise what's the best way out of this mess ? Would a Maverick clean install be good for a mid 2010 intel iMac ?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    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.
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Yosemite Upgrade: Missing Internet Accounts/Email Accounts

    I have updated Mavericks to Yosemite on my MBP (mid 2013) yesterday, and since then I miss one account in "System Preferences/Internet Accounts" which means I have just 8 instead of my 9 Internet Accounts under Preferences.
    The 9th account however does exist in "Mail/Preferences/Accounts" among the others.
    Why is this email account not being shown in Preferences/Internet Accounts? And how can I restore/repair/fix it so the number of Internet Accounts equals my total number of setup email accounts?
    I am using Time Machine but I was not able to restore my Internet Accounts preferences so far.
    Thank you.

    I’ve had both of those problems. This thread has some research on it which also describes my variables: multiple email addresses (domains) all hosted by the same provider on the same domain. Issue with Mail accounts not appearing in System Preferences Internet Accounts

  • Yosemite kills my Internet

    I upgraded to Yosemite last night on my Macbook Air (2013-mid). Today I tried to go online and it said not connected to internet. The wifi icon on top right shows Connected (to my home wifi which worked fine before upgrade), however, it is not connecting at all. I google it and noticed some ppl got the same issue. But most of them could connect just unstable. Mine is not connected at all even it shows connected..... Anyone may have any solution or nothing i can do but waiting for the apple updates to fix the bug? Please help.......

    Hello ipingilie,
    For issues with getting online, then check out the first article below to use the Wireless Diagnostics to help isolate the issue. I would also recommend creating a new network location as that has helped me in the past with internet issues.

  • OSX Yosemite Guest Account Internet is not working.

    The Admin has internet access but the Guest Account doesn't. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    I'm not using VMware anymore and switched to free Oracle VirtualBox, but the concepts are the same. The default virtual machine NAT adapter is only good for connecting to the Internet using DHCP on behalf of the host OS and cannot be used to address the guest OS from outside.
    You need to configure the bridged network adapter, or a combination of NAT for outgoing and host-only for incoming network traffic. There is plenty of info on the web and the VMware knowledgeable or Google about using the virtual network editor.

  • Keep losing internet connection since installing Yosemite

    After installing Yosemite on three Macs I am unable to maintain consistent internet connection on two of them. One with ethernet connection requires repeated rebooting of the router, and the other mac (wi-fi) requires going through systems preferences\network\diagnostics repeatedly. The third mac is operating just fine.
    Any ideas would be helpful.

    I have exact same issue. Worked perfectly before Yosemite. After Yosemite, connection to Internet and Server drop out continually, every 15 minutes or so. Other MAC works perfectly on the same connection. Have already verified that the cables, router ports, etc are working fine.
    Your advice will be greatly appreciated, as the frequency of drop-out makes it unusable.

  • Slow internet speed with OSX Yosemite

    I updated to OSX Yosemite & now my internet speed is painfully slow on my Mac book Pro 15 Retina.  It work fine (Great), prior to the update.  Is there a known problem and fix for this?

    Yosemite created two problems for me and the problems happened immediately, I never had any internet connection problems with Mavericks OSX.
    Problem 1) My internet speed went from 85MPS to 35MPS. This happened on both of my MacBook Pro Laptops with Yosemite. Using the same router with a non-Yosemite computer yields 85MPS or greater speeds.
    Problem 2) WiFI connection looks normal but internet connections don't work. Pinging APPLE.com though the terminal yields the same result, No Response. I used the ping command to rule out a Safari problem. Normally one of my laptops will not go online at all.    *** To work around problem 2,  I am using Two Routers. If one doesn't connect or drops, I simply use the other one. Both Yosemite MacBooks drop my internet connections constantly, regardless of which router I use, but I have notice that the faster Comcast router drops more frequently. Sometimes when I connect to the COMCAST router I cannot get any internet data (Safari or Ping). This is very repeatable and is intermittent.
    Apple please advise me what to do!!!!    I use VPN's and work through the internet. This is affecting my job performance.
    Thanks

  • OS Yosemite - My Apps wont "open"

    Hi I'm Katrina and i'm running iMac - Late 2009
    Duo Core
    3 TB Hard drive (upgraded)
    12 GIG Ram
    OS Yosemite (upgraded when it was released)
    I am unable to open any of my system APPS
    App Store.
    Mail
    iMessages
    Facetime
    Calendar
    Contacts
    iBooks etc etc (please see print screen with highlighted non working apps)
    when I click on the Apple logo in the top left and Go to the "About this Mac" - It won't come up either.
    - anything external functions "Normally"
    The other day I was going thru my iMac and deleting some my files "movies, music and duplicates" I deleted a folder in my mac that was from when Parallels was installed on here ages ago. with the "Windows" files in it.
    anyway... I finished work that day. I shut down my iMac and the next day, I couldn't open up any of my system files.
    I'm stumped
    if anyone has any advice on how to fix? or to advise,  I would be greatly appreciative
    If I can avoid doing a clean install, would be helpful as I can't even get to back up at the moment. and to be honest... Lazy me hasn't backed up in 4 months.
    Thanks for your time and your help.
    Best
    Katrina.

    Hi,
    I actually googled a bit and found the best option was to do a restore of the operating system.
    It sounds very daunting. But it was quite easy,
    the steps I used.
    Reboot your Mac
    Hold the Command-R keys down when you hear the boot chimes
    you'll see an apple logo come up. then then recovery options. - I chose to reinstall Yosemite through my internet. from memory I had to sign into iCloud (at this point there are limited options on the screen) I also had to click on the internet wifi symbol up the top right and log back into my wireless (as this is operating out of your IOS and isn't configured.
    then you just go through the steps. and it begins download. at this point you just need it to do it's thing. you cannot access your mac at this point. which caused me a bit of worry as i didn't want to have to restore or build my mac up again. when it had finished. My mac restarted as it normally would and everything was as it should be and so far.. it's been fine.
    hope this helps.
    Katrina. 

  • Not able to use Internet from Any App Except Chrome

    I updated to Yosemite from AppStore recently. After the installation, I can open all websites from Google Chrome. However, none of my other Apps can connect to the Internet. For instance, Dropbox, Box, App Store and Safari Itself cannot connect to internet. Only Google Chrome works fine (from which I am posting this). Any help is really appreciated

  • Why does osx yosemite crash the wifi router?

    Upgraded to Yosemite, with MBP retina and my wifi router a Netgear CG 3100 D 28 PAUS crashes every time I connect up. I have turned off wifi and then forgot the connection and then reconnected with no joy. It continued to crash the router forcing it to reboot. I reinstalled back to mavericks and there was no problem and the wifi and router were stable and worked well. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem than you. After updating to Yosemite yesterday, my internet connection through a Netgear CG 3100 cable modem stopped, but only with the updated computer, the rest of my devices seems to connect well. After going back to Mavericks, everything work well again.
    Is there might be an incompatibility between Yosemite and this cable modem?

  • "an unknown error occurred" while producing epub in Mac Apple Pages (yosemite)

    Apple Pages throws an entirely meaningless error when trying to produce an epub from iMac Apple Pages.
    If I save the Pages as a Doc, open the Doc file and Export to epub it works, BUT... I loose things like header tags so can't convert to mobi and have chapters show up correctly. I've tried manually changing the mobi file, but it's a nasty, long winded process with mixed results. It would be nice if the old process simply worked. 
    If I select all and copy/paste from one pages file to a brand new pages file, I still get the error. This is stupidly frustrating and a complete waste of my time. The whole reason I switched from Windows to Mac was because I was sick and tired of these antics by Microsoft. Apple LIFT YOUR **** GAME!!!
    This used to work perfectly fine before Yosemite screwed things up. Seriously, Apple, test your **** software before dumping it on us. At the very least, give us a meaningful message so we can do something about fixing things.
    Anyone with any ideas?
    Yours in frustration,
    Peter

    I am getting this error whilst attempting to move NEF (Nikon RAW files) either between folders on the same hard-drive or between hard-drives (which are incorporated into my Lightroom catalogue).
    Whenever I receive this error, a strange (locked) file appears in the directory/folder to which I intended to move the file and on examining this file in the terminal I can see that it contains the following error message: "cannot execute binary file...logout". The filename of this strange file is usually very random such as 470F00FF-9FBC-4517-84BF-26E52251B2B9-449-0000020C6A4DD5FD
    I do not have any problems with missing sidecars and always select "save metadata to files" before attempting to move the files...can anyone figure this out?

  • How do I download/find a Yosemite image to install on a portable startup volume?

    I am trying to build a startup volume on an external, portable drive. One of the requirements is to find an install OSX image on my hard drive. Since I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite over the internet from the Apple Store update option, I don't know where to look for such an image or if there even is one.
    System particulars:
         MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011)
         Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core I7
         Memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3
         Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
