Problems using Yosemite

Problems using Yosemite:
-cannot find previously purchased audiobooks on iTunes
-cannot find all previously purchased apps on Apps
-cannot use files made in iWork 08 (Pages and Numbers) with the new Pages and Numbers in Yosemite
    -have iWork 08 and never upgraded to iWork 09
    -find it hard to believe there is no backward compatibility
Help?

Your first two questions need to be asked in the Yosemite forum.
For your iWork '08 question:
The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. Keep in mind that the new versions are a significant downgrade from any previous version. If you want to use the latest versions of the iWork apps I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
Your iWork '08 apps will run in Yosemite as long as they are updated to the latest - Keynote 4.0.4, Pages 3.0.3, Numbers 1.0.3.

    I am experiencing problem (the installation does not start) when I try to install ArchiCAD 17 Educational on my mac. I am using Yosemite. How can I fix it?

    You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite.  It is not listed on their system requirement website:
    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
    Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
    Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

  • Having bluetooth connection problem after using Yosemite for a week

    After installing and using Yosemite for a week, I experienced bluetooth connection problems with my magic mouse and headphone, my model is macbook pro retina early 2013, hope to fix this soon

    Hello there Oranger84,
    If I understand correctly you are having some sort of Bluetooth issue between your computer and Magic Mouse and Headphones after installing Yosemite. Depending on the particular symptoms you are seeing, I would recommend the following article to help you get that resolved:
    Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • Mail problems on Yosemite

    Hi there,
    Does anybody know if anything is going to be done regarding the mail problem on Yosemite?
    this was a recurring on Maverics too...
    Since i updated to Yosemite, mail does not work well on my iMac, i cannot get my mail... but i can send mail.
    it does not seem to connect properly to my Pop account.
    my mail does work well on my iPhone and other devices.
    it was fine after the recent Yosemite update, and now it's back... and very frustrating,
    is there anyone who can help ? or anyone at Apple that is going to fix it for once and for all ?
    Thanks.

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Interface Problems in Yosemite

    Problem shows up when using software other than the native OS X apps.
    If I attempt to close a window behind the app that has focus by clicking the red x part of the semaphore buttons (top left on every window) it will not work unless I change focus to that app by clicking the bar at the top.
    As an example if I'm using Byword to view a document while composing an email in Airmail once I finished and move on to viewing, say a receipt, in Airmail and want to make a copy of that receipt and place it on the desktop. I'm done with Byword and it is covering the desktop so why not close it and get it out of the way. I move the mouse pointer over the red X part of the semaphore buttons and click, nothing happens. I have to bring Byword into focus by clicking the title bar, then click the red x to finally close the window. If the app below Airmail happened to be Safari the red X works properly.
    On my Mac Mini using Yosemite this works properly for all apps.
    This is only a slight problem but I have been having the odd quirky interface problems for the past while and I'm worried that something has gone south and these may end up adding together to make a very large problem.  Initially I had problems with PopClip which seemed to be screwing around with the interface buttons in Rapidweaver 6. I removed the app to clear that problem using AppDelete.
    While trying to diagnose this problem I have removed all the auto login apps that I can and rebooted several times to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a new Mac, using Yosemite 10.1.1 - PE locks up every time I try to sign in. This software was restored to this computer from Time Machine after a theft of my old Mac. How can I fix this? It keeps telling me that there are missing files, too. If I upgrade to Elements 12 or beyond, will this fix the problem?

    You can't sign in because there is nothing to sign in to. For PSE 10 the only sign in was to photoshop.com, which has been dead and gone for a year and half. Just skip the sign in. Reinstalling will not change this.

  • What is the advantage of using Yosemite on my iMac over 10.9.5

    What is the advantage of using Yosemite over Lion on my iMac?  Is it any faster, slower or what?

    Before upgrading to a new operating system, here are a couple considerations:
    1.  If you are having problems with your current system, full version upgrades
         will make them worse.  Fix all issues before making the upgrade.
    2.  Make sure that any third party hardware is compatible with the new operating
         system, i.e. drivers available to support the OS.
    3.  The hidden cost item of needing to upgrade apps to work on the new OS.
         If your any of your favorite or mission critical applications are not compatible,
         expect the possibility of needing to purchase upgrades of those apps so that
         they will work on the new OS.
    4.  If you rely on your computer for your livelihood,  be absolutely sure that you
         have a backup strategy and plan to quickly recover should there be any issues.
         There has been many a complaint on this forum that new OS upgrades have
         have ruined their business and had no recovery strategy in place.  Besides,
         anyone relying on a computer for their livelihood is REQUIRED to have such
         a strategy in place regardless of OS upgrades as anything can happen at
         any time.
    5.  If everything is working fine and dandy for you currently, you need to ask if
         any of the new features of an OS of any use to you.  If not, then perhaps
         a "don't fix it if it ain't broke" philosophy is what you should follow.

  • Massive sound problems in Yosemite

    Hi,
    I have been experiencing massive sound problems with Yosemite. It basically effects everything except the sound control in the control centre.
    What happens:
    I can't control the sound volume anymore. Key board sound control does not respond (sound symbol is struck out), sound bar in menu bar in greyed out.
    If sound symbols are not greyed out, the sound will stay on the level it currently is. Neither key board nor menu bar icon can change the volume.
    When it happens:
    When I plug/un-plug headphones.
    When I use iTunes. iTunes will even stop playback... the only chance to get iTunes back to normal is restarting the app.
    When I use Skype.
    Occasionally on any incident... there is no app in particular linked to this.
    What I do to get around it:
    Restarting the mac... this will help until I sent my Mac to sleep or do any of the things above.
    Accessing sound control via the control centre (which is work around, yet very annoying).
    Killing sound via terminal does not do anything.
    Btw. there is only one thing listed in the sound input/output menu.
    This problem is very annoying and occurs several times daily, especially since I work a lot with sound and music. I know this an weary argument, but considering what I paid for this machine ... bla bla bla... I need a fix.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Andy

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I have. It works pretty much like any re-start does. As soon I use headphones or send my Mac to sleep, it goes back to unresponsive sound control.
    Edit: Just tried it again and it didn't do anything. Key board sound control is still greyed out...
    Any other suggestions?

  • Distnoted process consumes +300% cpu on my macbook pro (early 2011) using Yosemite

    My fans keep ramping up on my macbook pro. I looked at processes using activity monitor, and noted that a process called distnoted was consuming +300% of the cpu. I've only been getting this problem on Yosemite, and didn't see any of this with the older OS X products. Is this something others are seeing, and more importantly whats the fix. Just searching around looks like this is a messaging function in kernal?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads 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.
    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 login 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 the test.

  • Emoji Free doesn't work on my Mac using Yosemite-suggestions?

    Hello,
    Hope someone can help.  Downloaded EMOJI FREE onto my iMac using Yosemite as the OS.  It's there under my applications, but can't open it.  I love to use the corny emoticons and thought this freebie would add to my emails.  Any suggestions- anyone?  Thank you- Laurel from Nokomis, FL

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Chuck
    Obviously you found my user tip/posts on corrupt AppleWorks preferences although you said "preference file." There are four preference files in two different places. Take another look at my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for the file names & locations.
    However, the spinning beach ball you see in AppleWorks has nothing to do with your Intel Mac or corrupt preferences but is the most complained about bug in AppleWorks 6 - known as the "Recent Items bug." The same problem will affect any Mac no matter what processor or OS. There are three user tips in the User Tips Library dealing with Recent Items.

  • Problems with Yosemite  so far?

    Problems with Yosemite  so far: WIFI still seems a bit problematic, Safari on new update doesn't play youtube (neither hyperlinks nor for youtube's site), Problem connecting iPhone 6 to my MBP (late 2013, BT compatible) and turning Hotspot using continuity. Sorry guys, but it doesn't seem like the apple we all like, perfection-wise. any suggestion what to do? Maybe downgrading back to mavericks (god forbid, but it was an excellent OS)?

    Also try turning off Bluetooth.
    Safari. Try un-installing and then re-installing.

  • Problem using File sharing  in a small office network

    I have a problem using File sharing on an Imac and Macbook Pro.
    My office has a small network running Windows Small office file server 2003. I have one Windows 2000 PC connected to it and 3 Macs, an 2.4 gHz Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 , a MBP running the same and a Mac Mini running 10.5.
    From the Finder Shared window of the Mac Mini, I can see all the computers on the network. It also used to be the case for the iMac, but the MBP could never see the Windows PC’s, not the server or the Win2000. This wasn’t a big problem as I was communicating between the Macs and using the shared printer on the iMac.
    On Monday Jan 19 the iMac was suddenly unavailable to the other 2 Macs. It was working normally on the Friday. The iMac can access the Mac Mini and copy files to it. The Mac Mini can see the iMac but cannot access it. Even trying to connect as, ends in a failed connection. I have tried rebooting, turning File sharing off and then on again to no avail.
    The iMac now also cannot see the Windows PC’s which it previously could.
    To get files from the MBP for printing, I now copy it to the Mac Mini and acces the folder from the iMac, a very tedious procedure. I don’t know why this happened and am scared that the Mac Mini is going to do the same thing.
    All three computers are also running VMware 2.0 with Windows XP pro, and from VMware the server is visible on all the computers.
    Any help will be much appreciated, I live in a small town in South Africa and the local computer suppliers have no knowledge of the Macs.
    I think that the problem with the iMac may have started after a software upgrade to 10.5.6 but I am not entirely sure.
    Thank you

    Well, you're current method sounds pretty good. But if you want to user a file server, hey go ahead.
    What you want to do when you centralize project files is to keep track of which one is the newest and becareful not to overwrite files with the same name. So you either have to set up individual spaces on the server (separate AFP/FTP folders maybe), or you'll need to run a file checkout service.
    The individual space is cheaper, but it's not much of a difference from backing up to the network drive. Since you have Gigabit connections, you might even opt to save ALL the user files on the server instead of just the project files.
    If you want to run a file checkout service, there's two approaches. You can run a service that can host any kind of file, or you can run a version control system for each kind of application (Photoshop, Word, etc.). Please notice, that as you read further and further along, the methods become more and more expensive and complicated. Once you get to this point, it will be necessary to purchase or build software in addition to the Mac OS X Server package.

  • Huge problem using apple mail while sending email to a group...

    Hey - I am quite confused... apple mail has huge problems using groups with about 150 addresses when writing and sending an email... the writing of emails is nearly impossible. Once the group name is inserted in the addressline (address book in iCloud!), apple mail uses nearly 100% CPU and further writing is nearly impossible. When sending such an email, all addresses are suddenly visible - though the box is NOT checked and the addresses should be hidden... what can I do? I use this feature (sending mails to groups) on a daily basis and cannot accept visible addresses...
    Greetings and sorry for inconvenient english...
    Christof

    How about next time you send to the group, cc yourself, or include yourself in the group. Then receive the email on the iphone, you can "reply all" in order to send to the group. If you use an imap account, you can make a new folder, call it something like "groups", and save different group emails there for the next time you need to "reply all".
