Startup failing after upgrade to Yosemite

After my update to yosemite my computer doesn’t startup anymore. It only shows the grey Apple logo and the “startup bar” is not progressing anymore. I now always have to perform a hard shut-down and do a re-start, and only in the second or third attempt it will start up "normally". The computer also has become very slow and unresponsive and takes a long time to start up after signing in.
To solve the problem (I hoped) I have done a complete clean install of Yosemite and thereafter installing my old programs using the Migration assistent. This did't help. Just now I have made an extra partition and only installed Yosemite on this partition. The same problem is still showing and the computer is still not starting up. I also experience complete kernel panics, where the message is different every time (I have pictures available of a number of kernel panics).
I still have a partition with Mavericks which starts up just fine, so the problem doesn't seem to be my computer (although WiFi stopped working some 2 months ago). I now performed a EtreCheck with results listed as below. Anyone an idea what is wrong?

Off hand it looks like a botched upgrade. I suggest a reinstall from scratch:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard 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.
Erase the hard drive:
  1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
  2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
  3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
  4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Yosemite: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

    Hi,
    I found an oracle note with the next solution:
    Add -Xverify:none to the JVM Arguments in the WebLogic console if you're using Node Manager to start managed servers:
    1. Go into WebLogic Console
    2. Navigate to Environment> Servers> [Sever_name]> Server Start> Arguments
    3. Add -Xverify:none to the arguments
    4. Restart the WebLogic server
    5. Retest the issue.
    6. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.
    Or
    If you're not using Node Manager to start managed servers:
    Edit the WebLogic start-up script to add -Xverify:none to the JVM arguments
    See if it works for you

  • Black boot screen and startup manager on mid 2014 rMBP after upgrading to Yosemite

    After upgrading to Yosemite I'm experiencing black booting process. Moreover, I noticed that the startup manager, which we access by holding the option key, has the black background too. I didn't like the Yosemite, so I downgraded back to Mavericks, but I still have the startup manager with the black background and the initial screen during the startup sound is black too, and after that the grey screen with the Apple logo comes up, which is typical for Mavericks. I want my startup manager to have the grey background as before. And also, before there was the grey screen during the startup sound, not the black one. How to revert all this to the previous state? I'm experiencing all this on my rMBP, 13-inch, mid-2014.
    I want to revert because after downgrading back to Mavericks my rMBP started freezing terribly, especially on youtube, ebay and app store. And it's not just the web browsing, it's freezing when navigating in finder too. I know there are many experienced users here, so I hope that somebody can help me with this. Before upgrading to Yosemite my machine was running flawlessly.

    nobody?

  • WIFI connection issue: After upgrading to Yosemite, I lose my connect in SOAS, university of London. Overtime, it rejects me as Authentication fails in this network. Even the school technicianer cannot fix. I wonder how to downgrade or any solution?

    After upgrading to Yosemite, I lose my connect in SOAS, university of London. Overtime, it rejects me as Authentication fails in this network. Even the school technicianer cannot fix. I wonder how to downgrade or any solution?  I never encounter this issue with Mavericks or the one before.

    I also have the internet diagnostic report, but it is nonsense to me to read it.

  • I don't understand my EtreCheck report. What can I do to improve the speed of my Macbook 2010, which became very slow after upgrading to Yosemite?

    I just updated my Macbook (2010) to Yosemite, and it's become very slow. After searching through this community, I downloaded and run EtreCheck, but don't understand what the report means. Please could you help me with what I should do to improve my computer's speed, aside from upgrading my RAM? Thank you so much.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • My macbook is running slow after upgrading to yosemite

    Other's have posted similar experiences by when I ran etrecheck I didn't get a bunch of fails and yet my computer is extremely sluggish since moving from snow leopard to Yosemite.  So much so, that I'm considering going back.  Programs load slowly and switching between programs has a delayed response. Reminds me of the PC I had before I bought my macbook in 2008.
    Any ideas on what might be causing the slow down?

  • After Upgrade to Yosemite, all apps are slow.

    I upgraded to Yosemite  and all applications are slow.  ( as e.g.. starting to type in this box give me beachball for 2 seconds initially) A big difference in speed from Mavericks to Yosemite. Opening system preferences takes 3 seconds to load, and clicking on Users & Groups takes 25 seconds to open.
    I do not have fire vault enabled.  I did a safe boot and some apps did appear to open faster. Also did a repair disk and rebooted.  No change. When Safari is open it takes 5 seconds to open a new window.   I ran EtreCheck and the report is as follows;
    Thanks for any help;( After pasting the EtreCheck text file, I clicked on this box to add the Thanks... , it took 2-3 seconds for the beach ball to stop spinning.)

    You could do that, but when setting up your new iMac it is a much better idea to transfer only your existing User Accounts. In other words when Setup Assistant appears, de-select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" and "Other files and folders". That way you will eliminate the possibility of reinstalling potentially incompatible software from your existing Mac or its TM backup. It's best to create new printer queues and preferences anyway.
    Your venerable HP 1012 will probably work without any difficulty but if you need its driver download it here. If it gives you trouble try OS X's generic PostScript driver.
    After configuring your user account, install original versions of your essential software from their original sources. In other words if you installed them via download from the developer's website, download them again. You might need license keys so gather them. Obviously the Mac App Store makes things easy since anything you obtain from there is already linked to your Apple ID and is easily reinstalled by going to your Purchases page.
    Don't reinstall things like AppCleaner, CleanMyMac, Western Digital "Smartware" or any of that junk. You don't need it. MacFUSE is outdated. Research Prolific Technology for potential updates for their serial controller. The one you have may work, or not, but you should re-download its driver.
    Consider abandoning Microsoft altogether and migrating to better solutions such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They are all free with a purchase of a new Mac and are far more integrated with OS X than anything Microsoft will ever be able to accomplish.
    The Burr-Brown USB device is unknown to me, so research TI's website for support if you need it.
    If your essential software was distributed on optical media, you can use OS X's "DVD or CD sharing" feature to remotely mount the older iMac's optical drive so that you can install its software. It will work as though that drive were physically installed on your new Mac. Having said that, anything that was distributed on optical media is highly likely to have been outdated a long time ago.
    If your essential software is old, orphaned, no longer supported, or is no longer available, meaning you have the only viable copy, the only option is to transfer it from the TM backup or older Mac. In that case be very cognizant of the likelihood for incompatibility, and have a plan for uninstalling it should it cause adverse effects. Creating a new TM backup is the way to do that. A new external HD dedicated to the new Mac is a cheap investment. When you are certain you no longer require the older Mac's TM backup, you can erase it and use it as an additional, redundant TM backup or "clone" repository – whichever you decide is best for your backup needs.

  • MacBook Pro mid-2012 running very slowly after upgrade to Yosemite

    Problem description:
    MacBook Pro mid-2012 - installed Yosemite, and the system now crawls. Webpages have very delayed responses, can take 30+ seconds to react to typing or selection. I turned off FileVault, that did not appear to help. Emptied the trash, removed some obsolete fonts. Any help for what else to try would be much appreciated.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to share screen with Macbook Pro

    After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2008 MacBook Pro I am unable to "Share Screen" using my authorized user account.  It worked fine before I upgraded to Yosemite. 
    I can access "Share Screen" by "requesting permission", but of course this doesn't work unless I am sitting right by the MacBook Pro to give myself permission, which defeats my original purpose for using "Share Screen". 
    I attempted to add another authorized "Share Screen" user account, but was unable to access the list of add "Groups and Users" on the host MacBook Pro from the "Share Screen" dialog box.  The dialog box pops up, when I press "+" to add another user, but the list of users fails to appear.  I assume the list of authorized users for screen share has somehow become corrupt. 
    All other ways to access "sharing user" accounts appear to be working properly.  I can add and remove other "sharing users" without problems.  For example, I can add a new authorized "file share" user and share files without problems. 
    I ran Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and normal mode and corrected all errors, and user permissions on both machines.  I also ran "resetpassword" from Terminal in Recovery Mode and "reset" user permissions.  I am not an experienced Terminal or Recovery Mode user though. 
    I also tried turning the Firewall off, to no avail. 
    I am attempting to access "Screen Share" on the MacBook Pro via a Macbook Air 13" manufactured mid 2013 also with Yosemite 10.10, however, I also attempted with an older MacBook Air which experiences the same problem. 

    Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer?  I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants?   I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it?  Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

  • Reconnecting to a wireless printer after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.

    We upgraded Mac software to 10.10 and lost connection to our HP Photosmart Plus wireless printer. Attempts to find the printer via hostname and/or IP address keep failing. Any ideas of how to proceed?

    Hello @DirkStuart ,
    Welcome to the HP forum.

  • VMware - I cannot logon to Windows 7 after upgrade to Yosemite

    After upgrading to Yosemite, I cannot logon to Windows under VMware Fusion 7.0.  It was working fine prior to the upgrade. The message I get when logging onto Window is,
    "The User Profile Service service failed the logon.
    The User profile cannot be loaded."
    I'm running on a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and Yosemite itself is otherwise working fine.  VMware was not running during the upgrade and re-start of the Mac.  I'm stuck and need to get this resolved any help is appreciated.

    I found the solution, I would have found it much earlier but just too tired and stressed from the week I guess
    Anyway it is NOT a Yosemite or even VMware issue, it figures it's just a good old Windows issue that dates back to at least 2010, why am I not surprised.   Probably as Windows was booting up and giving me the logon it was running anti-virus in the background and the user profile was corrupted, which means that Windows as usual was also not displaying a precise error message, just one that was close enough for Microsoft work. 
    The solution is easy especially if you can handle booting to Safe Mode and using Regedit, easier still if you have two user profiles in Windows even if one is just a duplicate of emergency uses, say like this.  The details can be found here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215
    I was up and running within two minutes.  Whew.

    Any suggestions !

    Try using the Guest account and see if fails to power down there.
    If you don't have a gust account then create new account and try doing a shut down from there.
