Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences.
Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences. I know it's an issue, because I've seen it in other forums. Any help?
Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
4. Next, open the Terminal application.
Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
5. Close the Terminal app.
6. Restart your computer.
The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

IMac isn't saving Notification preferences.
Since installing Yosemite, my iMac isn't saving Notification preferences. I know it's an issue, because I've seen it in other forums. Any help?
This procedure will revert your settings in the Notifications preference pane to the defaults.
Back up all data before continuing.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names. Move the files to the Trash. Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate the settings.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Problem Printing from Photoshop CS-5 (version 12.0) since installing Yosemite on iMac.
Any attempt to print from Photoshop CS-5 results in Photoshop crashing when I try to enter print settings such as paper profiles. I use several Macs and printers including an Epson Stylus Pro 4880 and a All-in-One Epson Workforce 7520. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop; uninstalled and reinstalled print drivers for both printers. I have the same printing problems with jpegs and raw files both large and small. I can print from the computers while using Yosemite if I print from other applications including InDesign CS-5. I think I have tried all the suggestions that have been offered in this forum.
Fortunately I have a Macbook that I forgot to upgrade. It has OS 10.9 and CS-4 installed and once I installed the Epson drivers, it worked! So, I can meet my deadlines but still would like to work from my large desktop machines. After long sessions with a very helpful Epson technician and carefully going through the comments in this forum, I am convinced the problem is in Apple's new operating system.Which reminds me, update 10.10.1 is out. Have you installed it?
Also sometimes this works: Resetting your Photoshop Preferences from the keyboard:
Hold down cmd-opt-shift and start Photoshop and agree to "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file"

Since installing Yosemite all my documents say created, modified, and last opened at 7 08
Since installing Yosemite (10.10.3 on a 2009 iMac) the dates of creation, modification, etc. of documents are shown correctly, but every one was Created, Modified, and Last opened at 7 08. Is my clock going bad? The time on the desktop menu gives the correct time.
Date/ Time Incorrect in Applications

System running slow since installing yosemite
Problem description:
My iMac is running very slow since installing Yosemite. I turned off iCloud for photos and this seems to have helped, but it is still running slow. When I ran this EtreCheck, there seem to be a lot of "failures". What's up with my Mac?
thanks,

MAIL FREEZING SINCE INSTALLING YOSEMITE ON MACBOOK PRO 2011
Problems with mail program freezing since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro 2011
When Mail freezes, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
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.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
I cannot save or export from Pages since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro . I just get the message at beginning of this post “Acceptance Letter.pages” doesn’t exist or whatever file title I have inserted How to solve problem?
Thanks Peter but I was not seeking to store with I-Cloud. In fact I never store documents with I-cloud.
I was in fact trying to store the files to Documents, which is where I usually keep such things.
Have now discovered that if I leave the file untiled and simply close it, rather than saving it then it will save, oddly, to Documents. I then have to re-title it and move to the folder I want it in.
Despite the above, even once it is titled and saved in Documents then if I reopen it I still cannot then Export it to a Word or PDF file. I still just get the message . xxxxxx.pages does not exist!
Bad news as I am constantly exporting documents to Word and PDF to send to others who do not use a Mac -
Cant watch DVD on Mac since installing yosemite
Since installing Yosemite I am unable to watch a DVD. It ejects after a few seconds.What am I doing wrong?
Greetings lorraine84,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that when you insert a disk into your iMac, it is automatically ejected. To help troubleshoot this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the attached article.
Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support
Accepts discs but they don't mount or are automatically ejected
Make sure the drive is not placed upside down. The aluminum enclosure should be facing up as shown in section 1.
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Connect the MacBook Air SuperDrive directly to the computer's USB port instead a USB hub.
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. The System Profiler or System Information may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
OS X Snow Leopard v10.6 or earlier: Open Apple System Profiler by choosing "About this Mac" from the Apple () menu. Then, click More Info.
OS X Lion v10.7 and later: Click the Apple () menu and then hold down the Option key. Choose System Information from the menu.
If the disc continues to not be recognized, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
Cheers,
Joe -

Mac mini slow startup since installing yosemite
I have a late 2012 mac mini and before installing Yosemite it would take just a few seconds to start up when I turned it on. Now since installing Yosemite it is a lot slower to start up, and i get a "progress bar" when I turn it on, which I never had when running Mavericks. Any ideas how to fix this?

Since installing Yosemite my Quarkxpress 10 is not running correctly. Too slow or crashes. How do I uninstall Os X Yosemite without losing all of my designs?
Thank you Thomas
First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while. -
ps cs6 on mac. since installing yosemite, when working on an image if i want to change tool, via shortcut or wacom pen click, i now have to click on the image title bar, how can i fix this ?
@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

Since installing lion my iMac and powebook can't find my printer
since installing lion my iMac and macbook pro can't find my printer (it is on the supported devices list and I downloaded the latest drivers).
I called canon and they stepped me through reseting my print system and reinstalling the print drivers and libraries but I have tried direct USB and via airport and the computers dont recognise the printer anymore. Just to be sure it was not the printer I tried to print from my iphone and that works...
I have changed the usb cable, changed usb ports and nothing can get the computers to recognise the device. Please help all advice welcome!:-) here's an interesting link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#canon
Note: If you've haven't used Software Update recently on your Mac, please run it before connecting a printer or scanner to update your Mac's database on what software is available.
I would also do this after you plug in your printer. Apple might have updates for your printer.
there is Canon Software for lion. try uninstalling everything and starting from 0.
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/office_al l_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mx860#DriversAndSoftware
I also read that if your printer shows up in your printer list before the appropriate drivers are installed, it might mess things up, if you plug in your printer and see it after cleaning everything you had done previously off, then try removing it from the printer list (don't just unplug it, delete the profile). And then install the appropriate drivers. -
Illustrator CS4 not working since installing Yosemite
Since installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, my CS4 Adobe Illustrator no longer works. The related files in the applications folder also show as being unavailable. All of the other programmes in the CS4 design suite still run without a problem. Can you please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks.
sorry I've not seen this question sooner - I'm here looking of answers to a recent problem with Photoshop CS4 repeatedly crashing in Yosemite - been working fine for months until this week - roll on Serif Affinity Photo!...
However. I'm no illustrator expert but I have Ai CS4 on three Macs, all running Yosemite and Ai apparently working just fine as far as I can see (I'm not a frequent user of Ai so rarely touch the surface of features but it launches, opens Ai files supplied by clients and saves my edit just fine.
