Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite?

Was wondering if anyone is having an major problems since they upgraded to Yosemite? Like other companies not upgrading their software to match Yosemite.
I was holding off to upgrade because in previous times I upgraded right away and other companies didn't catch up fast enough.
Thanks.

One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.

Use a program such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper to back your entire system up to an external drive.

Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite - but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?

Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite - but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?
Hi all.
I am wondering if I upgrade to Yosemite is there a way that I will be able to downgrade / revert back to mountain lion if I find out that too many of my most essential applications are no longer working?
I have read there have been compatibility issues between some of my most necessary / favourite applications I use in mountain lion and Mavericks, which is why I never upgraded to Mavericks.
However , I am noticing in the app store there are a lot of apps I am interested in which I no longer able to purchase / download because they require Yosemite, and mountain lion is out-dated.
However, if I upgrade my OS, I am afraid of incompatibility with the most important apps in my workflow though.
Thanks.

Hi Arthur thank you very much for your response.
Sorry for my late reply.
My following question is summed up in the last sentence of this post.
[is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive? Or can I make separate Time Machine backups for separate purposes?]
I went ahead and installed Yosemite.
There are some things I like about Yosemite and I might trial it for a little bit longer,
but after a couple of days of trials and trying out, I've decided that I think I generally prefer mountain lion better,
and I will reinstall it , and get a disk image of Yosemite and run that as a Virtual Machine when I need it.
[^ This is what I should have done in the first place.]
Before I installed Yosemite I [stupidly] used Time machine to back up only my application folders / application support / general system files,
[I used system preferences to exclude everything else in the TM backup] so that I would not have to reinstall my applications / essential system structures.
I did not back up the rest of my files and folders / whole machine though.
I should have done this.
I just didn't want to wait for about 800 gb of data to transfer [impatient].
[in retrospect I should have run Yosemite through a virtual machine within Mountain Lion to see if I liked it before installing it completely].
With Yosemite installed would I be able to make a SEPARATE time machine backup of all my files / documents / media folders in Time Machine on Yosemite, and use this to re-install these on Mountain lion if I downgrade ?
Or is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive ?
Thanks.

Upgrading to Yosemite with Third-Party ssd's

I'm thinking about Upgrading to Yosemite on my mac mini, primarily because I want to update to the latest version of Final Cut X, and this is only supported on Yosemite.
I put this off long ago because I'm using Third-Party SSD's, and I know that there were issues with this on Yosemite. If possible, I'd like to update now, but I'm not sure if this is a stable system for what I'm using. Here are my current specs below:
Mac Mini Late 2012
OS X Version 10.9.5
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory
Startup Disk - 2x Crucial M550 256GB SATA in RAID-0
When I looked into this many months ago, I remember reading that Yosemite doesn't work well with non-apple SSD's, something about trim not working or otherwise. Does anyone know if this can be done now, or if there's a thread with a fix for this? Everything that I can find in searches is from a year ago.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Based on the discussions I've read Yosemite will work on a 3rd party SSD, but as mentioned above, TRIM isn't supported.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

I want to upgrade to Yosemite but I have questions

I have never upgraded my OS on my MAC, it's always worked fine, and still does. I'm still using OSX 10.6.8 but i'm thinking about upgrading to Yosemite. I have Word, Excel & Powerpoint, all 2008. I also Have Adobe Bridge CS4 and Photoshop Elements 8.0 I'm wondering if anyone knows if those programs will still work with the new OS, or am i about to be in the market for new software too?
Also, this Mac is pre-Cloud, will upgrading to Yosemite, make my Mac now a part of the cloud?
Any help is appreciated
TY!

I'm running Office 2008 on my 2011 iMac with 8 GB of memory and it runs fine. I've got PSE 10 which also runs. If you need to upgrade your PSE then the latest version would be the way to go.
PS CS4 should work with Yosemite as I'm running CS3 which works fine. However, you'll need to download and install Java from this Apple webpage: Java for OS X 2014-001 for both PS and PSE to run.
Definitely go to the Roaring Apps website and check out all of your 3rd party apps there before making the jump to see which will need to be upgraded.

I have CS4 Photoshop on my iMac with Mavericks. I am going to upgrade to Yosemite, and don't think it is compatible with CS4. Do I get the full Photoshop CC version for $9.99 a month, or do I need to buy any additional things?

Thanks, I was thinking so. I installed my CS4 from a CD in 2008, and it looks like Adobe has taken another approach to selling their products. I'll be downloading CC Photoshop a little later today.

I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

I am thinking about upgrading OS to Mavericks or Yosemite, but I do not know if my Adobe suites Elements 10 and Photoshop 10 are compatible. Adobe site does not contain this information anywhere.

I should be very grateful if someone can confirm definitively whether Photoshop Elements 10, and Premiere Elements 10 would run on Mac OS Mavericks and Yosemite, to which I am thinking of upgrading to? Thanks in advance

The suggested Roaring Apps Table is not helpful. It shows both my Adobe Apps as compatible with all the latest Apple OS, except Snow Leopard, which is actually the App I currently use them with!! So this is clearly not accurate. I still need help with definitive answer. Any Adobe Staff out there?

could the launch agents failing slow the computer or they just don't work. I mean I am willing to upgrade ram but not if there is good chance it won't change speed much. Also to downgrade is it necessary to format the hard drive?

Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
Thank you

How do I update GarageBand after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1

I have GarageBand on my MacBook Pro but have recently upgraded to Yosemite OS X 10.10.2. I wanted to use GarageBand but rec'd a message that there is a newer version. I didn't think I should have to pay for an upgrade in the App Store. How do I update my version of GarageBand?

Which version of GarageBand do you currently have?
Updates are free (when the first number of the version number stays the same), but upgrades to a major new release require a purchase (when the first part of the version number changes). So the upgrade from GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5 to GarageBand 10.0.3 is a major upgrade, that requires a purchase.
If you decide to upgrade, do not replace your current GarageBand version, if you are currently running GarageBand 6.0.5. Keep both versions. The new GarageBand is very different from version 6.0.5 - it is more like Logic than GarageBand. It comes with nice new features like smart drummers, but but older audio units are no longer support. If you decide to upgrade your system, keep your current GarageBand as well. Both can be used in parallel and you will need the sounds and loops from the previous version to play your older projects. This forum is full of desperate questions about how to get the previous version back, because instruments are missing or podcasts no longer supported.

Unable to print from iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite?

Whenever I want to print from iPhoto, the application on the IMac becomes unresponsive and will not print. This all started after upgrading to Yosemite. My printer is updated, so now I have no idea how to make this work again. Any help would be great.

DA2014 wrote:
Rebuilt iPhoto, it is updated, but still is unresponsive. I get the spinning wheel that never goes away until I force close the app. The printer works on other applications.
OK and I see the issue is only with iPhoto. The only thing I can think of is resetting the printing system and then re-installing the printer(s). DO NOT use any of the printer's software for installing, simply follow the directions for adding a printer in Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support.
To reset the printing system, open System Preferences - Printers & Scanners - locate the device in the window on the left and right click the offending printer and select Reset Printing System....
After you have reset the printing system and re-added the device then shutdown (not restart) the computer for about 30 seconds and restart and then test.

After upgrading to Yosemite my IMac Hangs

After upgrading to Yosemite my IMac will hang usually on a given App and I have to force a power down and reboot to get it back in operation.
Anyone else having this problem?

Do you think I should download/buy new solitaire & hearts apps?
Did you get McSolitaire from the Mac App Store, if not it would not be available there. You should contact the developer to see if they have any updates or you can also look in MacUpdates.com

ICal 'Show Holidays calendar' not showing holidays in Australia after upgrading to Yosemite.

Hello, I had been in Italy before moving to Australia and I had set Show Holidays calendar in iCal to display Italian holidays. When I've moved to Australia, I've changed the regional settings to Australia and therefore iCal was showing Australian holidays. After I've upgraded to Yosemite, I can't see any holidays anymore. I tried to uptick 'Show Holidays calendar' and reboot Yosemite, then tick it back and it is still not working for Australia. if I change my regional settings for instance for Italy, it works. It just refuses to display Australian Holidays so for now I'm forced to use Google calendar subscription for public holidays.
How can I restore the iCal 'Show Holidays calendar' ?

Hi guys,
I had this problem too. I resolved it by going into System Preferences > Language & Region and making sure the primary language was "English (U.K.)" under primary languages (i.e. at the top of the list of preferred languages).
I always had this set before, but I think upgrading to Yosemite changed this setting to "English" (without the "U.K.) which I guess is a generic "countryless" language. I believe the holidays setting in the calendar needs to know which country's holidays to display.
Hope this helps this waiting for a fix...

Upgrade to Yosemite Slowed down computer substantially

Hi All,
I recently upgraded my MBP (mid-2009) to Yosemite.    I noticed that people have been using EtreCheck to determine what is the root cause of these Yosemite upgrade slowdowns.   My issue is that I am having difficulty interpreting the output file.   Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.
Here is the file:

Problem description:
My Macbook runs very slow (slower than Windows). I upgraded to Yosemite right our of the box. Heard great things about Mac before buying, but really disappointed.
Hope this resolves my problem.
