Stray email address on my display after upgrade to Yosemite

I recently upgraded my iMac to Yosemite. Now, email addresses (name@domain) will show up on my screen. They stay on top of anything and any app that's up on the display. Everything else is "Underneath" the stray email address.
I have to shift an app around to see details because the email address covers information under it that an app my be showing.
Even my screen saver doesn't get rid of these stray email addresses once my desktop comes back.
The only way to get rid of them is to restart the computer.
FWIW... I also have a Mac Book Air. I upgraded it to Yosemite. The problem does not occur on the Mac Book Air.
Q. Is there something I can do? Is it a problem with Yosemite?
Thanks

Early iMac (not Lion eligible), does my mobile me email address cease to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address?

Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac. Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud. My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?

If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10 to use icloud.

I cannot send emails, only receive, after upgrade to Yosemite today, Apple should resolve this issue. Any help more than welcome. Thanks

BTW. I have seen posts suggesting age of Mac has an affect. Mine is MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
The mail I am having problems send is Exchange and google mail. The google client I re-installed and this had no affect.

I have contacted three more people that made the upgrade and they have the same problem. My advise is not to upgrade until Apple solves the serious issue, I would hate to have to re-install Outlook...

I can send e-mails just fine with apple mail on yosemite...
Might not be a generic problem but rather a personal problem..
You should try find a fix rather than waiting on apple.
Hopefully somebody can help you out.
More than happy to help with your settings/preference pain... And compare mine with yours...
If you send some screenshots... I can send you my equivalent... So maybe you can figure it out.
Is it a gmail or icloud email acount? Can be of more help if it is.

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?

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

After Upgrading to Yosemite, I am asked to reset my password

After upgrading to Yosemite, I was asked to change the password for the local accounts on the computer. However, every time I tried to change it, it would say "Password does not meet the requirements of the server." I am not sure what requirements it is talking about. I eventually figured out the pattern to get logged in, but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this with their upgrade and figured out why it happened? I have seen this happen on two of my Mac computers.

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?

PDF problem in Preview after upgrading to Yosemite in MacBook Pro Late 2011

After upgrading to Yosemite , i have a problem viewing PDF's.
When opening high resolution PDF's e.g. 2588 x 3368, it will display distorted image or distorted characters.
and scrolling normal resolution PDF is very slow.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you very much!

Sounds like Notifications app.
Maybe some other app. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems tab: remove all entries with the minus sign underneath. This will not uninstall anything, you have to start those apps by hand now. Restart.
Still there?
Yes: Restart again while holding the shift key, this will start the mac in SafeMode: only the necessary items are loaded to run.
Still there?
Yes: Make an etrecheck list and post it here.
No: Restart, put the items in the LoginItems back, one by one, restart after each entry, and you will find the "culprit"
Please report accordingly. I will be back in 24 hours.

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?

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?

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.
