Uninstall antivirus BEFORE upgrading to Yosemite!

I guess this is just a word of advice for those upgrading (i.e. not doing a clean install) Mavericks to Yosemite.
It appears that antivirus and non Apple login items, may interfere with the installation of Yosemite.
Therefore: REMOVE ANTIVIRUS AND LOGIN ITEMS (System Preferences ==> Users and Groups ==> Login Items)
BEFORE YOU UPGRADE OR do a clean installation!
Regards

Yes, you are right,
Unfortunately it is our institution policy that all computers on premises must have an antivirus.
And yes, my macbook takes twice as much to start up.

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before upgrading to Creative Cloud?

Just bought a new iMac. Do I need my old software on there before I buy the new CC?

wondered if I needed my old software on it before upgrading.
No.
"Upgrades" are all full versions of the software. They don't depend on prior versions being installed in order to function. Upgrade licensing just means you pay less because you already own a previous qualifying version.
In the case of Creative Suites (CS5, CS6) "upgrade" only refers to the serial number.
In the Creative Cloud there are no serial numbers. They're activated via your Adobe ID. The versions available in the Cloud (CS6, CC and CC 2014) are all full versions containing full executable code.

Should I uninstall SMCFanControl before upgrading to 10.4.9?

Did anyone successfully update to 10.4.9 with SMCFanControl installed? I didn't know if this should be uninstalled prior to updating?

I upgraded my MacBook Pro without any problems with SMC running (2.0 if that makes a difference).
So far my machine has been running fine.

Should I uninstall Firefox 3.6.6 before Upgrading to OSX 10.6?

I want absolutely no glitches when I upgrade my MacBookPro from OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3. I use Safari as my main browser and Firefox only when a website does not work well with Safari. Therefore, I thought it might be best to uninstall Firefox before I upgrade, because I can always re-install Firefox after I have upgraded. What do you think? I have AppZapper to use to uninstall Firefox since it will search out and collect all Preference lists, etc., that accompany Firefox, resulting in a complete and clean uninstall. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hello Gordon.
I don't know if you should uninstall Firefox before upgrading Mac OS X (I don't think so, in any case), but you may be interested in knowing how to back up your information, if you are afraid of loosing it in the upgrade:

I can't scan after upgrading to Yosemite

Hi, I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday, and ever since the upgrade my printer won't scan. I can still print, but when I go to the HP Scan logo in my applications, and try to scan, I get this error:
The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device. Try the following steps. After each step, try scanning again.
- Restart the program.
- Close all programs that may be using the device.
- Reboot the computer.
I have tried everything - closed all programs, restarted my computer, uninstalled HP, install HP drivers, but with no luck. Before upgrading to Yosemite it worked perfectly.
My printer is: HP Deskjet F4180.
I would appreciate any help I can get to resolve this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi dreamer,
Sometimes in oder to use apps that came with your printer/scanner you must be using the printers actual driver and not AirPrint. This video should explain it if you are still having issues. Printer/Scanner Fix With Yosemite No Matter What Brand

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.

How can I get my back up on my mac after upgrading to Yosemite?

Hey everyone!
Before upgrading to Yosemite I made a Time Machine back up on a external hard disk.
After the upgrade to Yosemite was done I started with the setting-screen like anyone else would. When the Migration Assistant-screen came up I selected my external hard disk with my time-machine back up on it. Unfortunately Migration Assistant wasn't able to put the back up on the computer because apparently there was not enough space.
23gb to less or something. So I deselected a few maps in order to get under that amount and tried again. Nothing happened and the same message: not enough space.
So now I am stuck with a empty mac without any of my previous documents, music, etc.. What should I do? Should I fully format my mac?
FYI: my mac consists out of an 80 GB Solid State SATA Drive and a 128 GB Solid State SATA Drive.
The back-up my time machine made on my 1TB external hard disk is 131,5 GB big.
HELP ME PLEASE! WHAT TO DO!

I have OS X 10.9.5, what do I lose if I upgrade to Yosemite?

I have a MacBook Pro 15" late 2013, 2.6 GHz with 16GB Memory and running OS X v10.9.5. The hard disk is 1TB with 453.74 GB available. I was going to upgrade to Yosemite but read there were some problems with it, e.g. running slowly and not working well with some programs. So I thought I would upgrade to Mavericks but it is now impossible to do so. The App store does not have it any more. So if I want to upgrade I have to go to Yosemite. I want to know if I can still use my programs and games etc. Is Yosemite still compatible with most programs? Does anyone know programs that won't work with Yosemite?
Thanks

You might want to check out RoaringApps web site at http://roaringapps.com/apps - they have an extensive list of which apps work on which OS X version. I'm in the middle of testing out what does and doesn't work in Yosemite compared to MountainLion on a MacBook Pro system. I installed on a spare external USB drive so that I can go easily back to Mountain Lion on the internal drive if I have problems or don't like it (just change which disk the system boots from). Not sure yet if I'm gonna take the real plunge into Yosemite permanently or not. It's definitely much different than MountainLion.
By the way if you have OS X 10.9.5 - that is Mavericks isn't it? (Did you mean to say you now have 10.8.5 - which is Mountain Lion) Yosemite is OS X 10.0.x and MountainLion is OS X 10.8.x.
So if you really do have 10.9.5 now, you don't have to worry about being able to re-install Mavericks if you do a full TimeMachine backup BEFORE upgrading with Yosemite install. Yosemite install/upgrade will put all the apps that it knows don't work with Yosemite into a special "Unsupported Software" folder for you (along with various libraries and any other components that the installer doesn't think will work). One thing I discovered is that not everything is saved when you do a full TimeMachine backup - there are exclusion lists that TimeMachine knows about (there is more than one way a file can be in these exclusion lists - three that I can think of off the top of my head include:
    1. having the attribute "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'
    2. Being in the file /Volumes/Time\ Machine/Backups.backupdb/*/Latest/.exclusions.plist
    -- this only happens if you have already done a TimeMachine backup (otherwise the
       Backups.backupdb folder won't exist)
    3. Being in the list of excluded items in the TimeMachine System Preferences pane (click on the Options button in
          TimeMachine System Preference pane)
So take a look at all these (there may be other mechanisms - so maybe others have ideas -- basically if a file is important on your system, make sure it's in the backups before taking the plunge into Yosemite, in case you decide to change your mind at a later date.
Good luck...

Should I disconnect external hard drive before updating to yosemite

I have an external hard drive (time machine) connected. Should I disconnect before upgrading to Yosemite?

It shouldn't matter since the install only affects the internal drive.

Windows 7 upgrade advisor, from Vista, says that Firefox must be uninstalled before upgrading and that I won't be able to reinstall it, is this true?

I am currently running Vista, 32-bit. I am considering upgrading to Windows 7. I ran the Upgrade Advisor Report and it says "Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1 Must be uninstalled before upgrading to Windows 7. You will not be able to reinstall it after upgrading to Windows 7." This appears to be inaccurate info, based on the Firefox website, but I want to verify what I should do before beginning the upgrade. Leave Firefox installed and in place when I upgrade, or uninstall and then re-install after the upgrade?

hello herplaw, you're right, this doesn't sound right - firefox will run fine on windows 7. i'd leave it installed and go ahead with the update. in any case (if you'd have to reinstall it later) you could also back-up the personal information that is stored in your firefox profile before you proceed: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off"

Since upgrading to Yosemite my macbook pro keeps going to sleep if I am not using it. I want it to stay on as I leave it doing things overnight (cd's / recording etc. It was fine before the upgrade and I have all the system preference set to "never turn off" - Help !!!

Good advice from Linc Davis that should sort out your query i think...
However you dont want to set your MBP to never go to sleep...
Adjust reasonable sleep settings...
And the download an APP called caffiene...
When you click it you can have your MBP never go to sleep with a single click of your menu bar... and with another click it can go to sleep normally to maintain the laptop...
Simply click the cup... To toggle never sleep/sleep

Upgrade - Do I need to uninstall peoplesoft agent plugin before upgrading it?

Hi Guys,
I am performing an upgrade of PSEM plugin from 8.51 to 8.52 in Grid Control 11gR1.Do I need to uninstall peoplesoft agent plugin before upgrading it?

I ended up using the live chat to get the question answered earlier today - but thank you for your response - and you're correct.
As for the creative cloud version - no, I opted not to get that. I hope I don't live to regret it,
but I'm not in a marketing/design program/etc. I just need photo editing for some end-of-year projects for school that needed better than average photo quality.
Thanks for taking the time to respond - much appreciated!
