Pcmcia  eSATA ExpressCard and Yosemite upgrade?

When I upgraded to Mavericks the pcmcia  eSATA ExpressCard in my 17" MacbookPro stopped working, and I had to go through an involved process to restore the libraries that were removed from that OS upgrade.
Does anyone know if pcmcia eSATA ExpressCard drives work under Yosimite, or will the upgrade break that drive again?
The ExpressCard on this laptop is dedicated to the Aperture library which won't fit on the hard drive and it is critical to keep it functional.
thanks all!

Same Problem here. No warning no nothing. I am using this card to connect my backup disk and now - nada. @Apple: This is bad policy not telling in advance that there ist unsupported Hard/Software on a system _BEFORE_ upgrading. This software is there for a reason!

  • Hi, I am having trouble MacBook Air crashing since Yosemite upgrade. I ran an Etresoft check but I don't know what it means... my system runs slowly and crashes. I have to force shutdown. Sometimes screen is black for a split second b/w webmail pages

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with my MacBook Air 13 inch June 2012 MacBook Air5, 2 4GB RAM  details below in Etresoft report. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and am having system trouble. My computer crashes and I have to force quit to restart. When using webmail there is a black screen for a split second between pages. This did not happen before. I am worried that it is not running properly and perhaps I need to revert to the previous operating system. I only have a MacBook Air and no need to share images between a tablet or phone so I did not need the new photo sharing software of Yosemite. I wonder if I don't have enough RAM to run it? I did not run time machine before I made the upgrade as I did not realise the significance of an upgrade as not very Mac literate. Any advice on whether my system is in danger... most appreciated! I am writing a book and making a back up but this machine is my lifeline and my work is conducted through it. It ran perfectly before... the Yosemite upgrade has perhaps highlighted some problems and it has unnerved me!
    Thanks ever so much for your advice!

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • Why does iTunes make me log in every time I open it since upgrading to v.12.0.1.26 and Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to itunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (same day), iTunes has been making me log in every single time I open it.
    Not only that, but it makes me log in several times, for iCloud, for iTunes match, for whatever else we do on iTunes. It gives me like five different reasons to log in, and I have to type my password in five times.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to fix it? Thanks!

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite).  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3).  A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded.  How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

    Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track.  However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player.  To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file.  Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork.  iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files.  You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
    I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details.  To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close.  To do it for  single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete.  Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

  • I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

    I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

    I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

  • After installing Yosemite upgrade, can't access documents and files

    I installed the Yosemite upgrade without making a proper backup first, not realizing what a major upgrade this is. During the install, I was prompted to create a new user account. Now that the upgrade is complete, when signed in as the new user, I can see my files and documents listed in a Device called “Guest’s MacBook Pro,” but when I try to access them, I’m told I don’t have permission to see the folders' contents.
    I should add that I bought this machine used, and I have always used it under the name “Guest.”
    Please help me access my stuff! Thanks in advance.

  • Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode.  Anybody else having these problems?

    Hi,
    Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before.  The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc.  Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
    I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
    I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update!  I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
    Thanks!

  • I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard.  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard and foolishly upgraded to Yosemite. Now have numerous problems.  Is it possible to go back in time with Time Machine and reinstall Snow Leopard?  Then upgrade to Lion or Mavericks?  Any other ideas on how I can exit Yosemite?

    Once you get yourself back to Snow Leopard, if you still want to upgrade somewhat, I would suggest the following:
    1. Get an external hard drive that you can use for experiments with new OS versions. You could partition it into 2 or 3 partitions. You could then clone your existing Snow Leopard system to one partition using Carbon Copy Cloner (well worth $40) or SuperDuper ($25).
    2. Buy OS X Mountain Lion for $20, through the Apple online store (I don't think it's available through the App Store). Apple has decided to make it very difficult for anyone to get Mavericks unless they have already downloaded it.
    You will receive two e-mails from Apple, one containing a PDF with a redemption code, and one with the password you will need to unlock the PDF. Using the code, you will download Mountain Lion from the App Store, where it will appear among your Purchased items.
    After ML finishes downloading, its installer app will launch itself. When you see this launch screen, QUIT the install app immediately! Go to your applications folder, find the Install OS X Mountain Lion app, and copy it to a safe location outside of your Applications folder. Keeping one or more copies will allow you to reinstall without unnecessary aggravation if you later need or want to do that. At this point, you can re-launch the Installer in the Applications folder and let it run. You can install it on a clean partition on your external HD, or you can allow it to upgrade the Snow Leopard clone you created on your external drive, or you can do both. This should allow you to test how everything works for as long as you like.
    3. If you left yourself a free partition on your test drive, try a clean install of Yosemite and set everything up from scratch (do not migrate anything). This will allow you to see whether your problems with it were related to something in your Snow Leopard system.

  • Hello I formatted my iMac today and wanted to download iphoto again but after i press the button to install it in the app store nothing happens! same with the yosemite upgrade..

    Hello I formatted my iMac today and wanted to download iphoto again but after i press the button to install it in the app store nothing happens! same with the yosemite upgrade.. In the iPhoto ratings there are alot of other people facing this problem I hope somebody can help me. thank you in advance

    If you have OS X 10.6.8 as you state you can not get iphoto form the App store - you must have Yosemite OS X 10.10. installed to download iphoto 9.6 from the App store
    If Nothing happens then you need to contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

  • Airplay video and audio choppy after Yosemite upgrade

    i can not play music or audio reliably using AirPlay after Yosemite upgrade, it's quite choppy until I turn off Bluetooth mouse.
    Has anone come across this issue or figured out how to fix it.

    I've had a similar issue with a not very fluid stream of mirrored or extended display in Yosemite. Even my iPad's mirror image came out shoppy. So I followed some threads advice and turned off bluetooth on the AppleTV and now I can even play games without having to look at the iPad.
    Even streaming a movie from my Mac is possible in mirrored / extended mode (if it's nothing too important as there are occasionally frame drops here and there) but very few in comparison with bluetooth on. 
    Hope this helps. I'm sure Apple will have a fix ready soon enough.

  • I paused the download of the Yosemite upgrade.  Now, for the last hour, I have a "waiting" message and can't un-pause.

    I paused the Yosemite upgrade download (my home DSL was going to take 9 hours plus).  Now, I cannot un-pause and have a "waiting" message next to the pause icon.

    My machine paused or froze at 3.6 GB.  Upt to then it was downloading.  I made random keystrokes and changed PREFS - ENERGY SAVER to Never Sleep.

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

  • IPhoto, Upgrades, and Yosemite

    I have iPhoto  9.5.1 .  I can upgrade it through the App Store, assuming the upgrade is iPhoto and NOT Photo for Yosemite (I don't have Yosemite - was concerned about the issues I read about).  BUT I have additional  iPhoto libraries on two external hard drives - how do I upgrade these?  I was going to put the entire set of libraries on one drive.  Should I do that and THEN upgrade the iPhoto? I have loaded the photos onto cloud servers as well (I don't want to lose them) so have back ups covered. 
    Any advice for me?

    You upgrade any and every library the same way: by opening it.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    As for what you read about Yosemite: go back and read what they said about whatever version of the OS you are running... Remarkably similar you'll find.

  • Missing Smart Mailbox and VIP Emails - Post Yosemite Upgrade

    Good day,
    Hoping for a little help.  After the Yosemite and Mail upgrades I have the following issues:
    1) Smart Mailboxes are empty and do not contain message that were there pre-upgrade
    2) VIP email messages are also not showing up
    3) Search for email messages is no longer working
    Would love some assistance please.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried re-creating Photoshop preferences:
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If  you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

    Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk.  Reboot normally and check the performance. Any improvement?
    Have you run any "cleaning" or "optimizing" apps on your Mac or install any antivirus software?  Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.
