Upgraded to Yosemite, lost YouTube
While I'm enjoying the new Yosemite update, I've run into one problem.
Whenever I try to watch something on YouTube, most of the time the video plays with only sound and a black screen. I've had to completely close out of Safari and reopen the window and sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. I've gone through all kinds of settings and cannot seem to find out why this one upgrade has taken away the video portion of YouTube, but the annotations and sound on the videos play just fine. Could this have something to do with the new HTML5 video player? (No idea what it is, just learned that it changed over.)
Have not tested this problem in Firefox or Chrome mainly because I don't use those browsers that often. Safari is my go-to.
Help anyone? I need my cat videos! (lol)

You don't need to have your photos and music in the cloud. Mine aren't. I have my libraries on the computer.
If the iPhoto app came with the computer, then it is probably not in the App Store under your purchases unless you purchased a newer version. If you have it on your iMac and didn't upgrade to 10.10.3 yet, check the version on it. Version 9.6.1 is what you need. If it isn't, update it. Then copy it to your laptop.
If you don't have the new Photos application on the computer with 10.10.3 running, then something didn't update properly. Search the drive to be sure it isn't there. If you can't find it, then you might try running the combo updater here:
OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update

Since upgrade for Yosemite, lost 60Hz in display PQ321QE?
Since i upgrade from Yosemite beta to final, i lost the ability of having my monitor PQ321QE working on 60Hz?
Now it only works on 30Hz, but is impossible work in this frame rate.
Please some one know whats up, and solutions?
Best regardsOn the displays preference pane do you have it set on the option "Default for display"? What happens if you change it to scaled? Also did you check to see if the manufacturer of your display has updated drivers?
I hope this helps.

Upgraded to Yosemite, lost all sound fonts
I recently upgraded my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite. Everything was going well-ish after the upgrade (generally slower than Mavericks, which is annoying) until I noticed that some instruments weren't making a sound in a Garageband composition. Turns out my sound banks (Library > Audio > Sounds > Banks), where my sound fonts are stored, are now empty. I've checked both Libraries, under Macintosh HD and "User", but no sign of them. I've searched using Spotlight and they're nowhere to be found.
This is pretty frustrating as I've spent a long time gathering sound fonts for use on various projects, but they've all been removed in one fell swoop. Thanks Yosemite.
Anybody else come across this? Am I just unlucky? I'm hoping this is the only chunk of files to go missing after the upgrade! I guess time will tell.
If you're thinking about updating, copy your sound banks folder to a safe location first!You don't need to have your photos and music in the cloud. Mine aren't. I have my libraries on the computer.

After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!
Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

Upgraded to Yosemite, Now Safari Won't Load Youtube and Other Sites
I upgraded to Yosemite the day of. Almost immediately I found that Safari no longer would load Youtube. At all. It would just sit and spin and work and eventually say that the page wasn't available. This was also a problem with other websites. For instance, IGN would load, but it was very, very slow. Redirected webpages from Youtube that used URL shorteners would do the same thing as Youtube, it would just sit and crank away and finally give up.
When I try the same thing with Google Chrome, it loads those pages just fine. Youtube and these sites also work on my Macbook and my iPad, so I believe the problem is specific to my iMac.
So... I got really angry a few days ago and did a complete reformat of my computer. I didn't restore my old image from Time Machine, but I did a brand new install and just backed up some precious files. I re-installed Yosemite on my freshly cleaned hard drive and low and behold, Youtube worked, as did all the others!
But after about four days, the same problem is happening again. Youtube won't load, redirects from Facebook using URL shortening is a disaster again. I'm losing my mind. What could be causing this problem!?? Reformatting was the only idea I had, and I thought it was a very thorough solution. Is Safari doing this for anybody else?

Boot camp lost after upgrading to Yosemite from mountain lion
I lost my windows7 boot camp after I upgrade to Yosemite from mountain lion. When I press ALT when rebooting there is no more alternative to boot for window anymore. I did read some thread about this but my case is different since when I tried to type 3 steps(diskutil.......etc) as LonerT user answers it did not work.

2. This is a tedious process and you want to check after the second 'p'rint command that it looks reasonable, before the 'w'rite and 'y'es to confirm.
3. You will need to reboot after the change, because the disk you are booted from is the one being modified. Reboot will rebuild disk0s4 using the start/end you entered.
4. Run the dd command - sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk0s4 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump -C and check that the first line contains "R.NTFS".
5. Once you have a working GPT#4, a new hybrid MBR needs to be created which will overwrite what you see in your Fdisk output. This is also done using GPT Fdisk (Gdisk).

Lost bluetooth in preferences since upgrading to yosemite
It seems I have lost the Bluetooth icon in System Preferences since I upgraded to Yosemite, does anyone know how to retrieve Bluetooth?
Thanks
Barry,I had the same issue and it took forever to find a solution that worked, but here's the one that finally did:
Go to /Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.Bluetooth.plist
Reboot
If that still doesn't work:
Go to ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.[HEX-ID-NUMBERS].plist
Reboot
Some other possible options might be to reset your SMC and/or PRAM. Needless to say, I'm relieved that the above solution worked for me. And I hope it works for you too! -
I upgraded to Yosemite and lost my iTunes library
After upgrading to Yosemite, I lost the ability to pull music from my iTunes library. Is there something I'm missing to do in order for my music to appear within the iMovie app or is this a bug?
Hello there, kcallene.
The following link from the online iMovie Help Guide, provides a great explanation of how to use iTunes content in iMovie 10:
iMovie Help: Add audio and music
Add audio and music
You can add sound effects and music to your movies. iMovie provides a library of sound effects to choose from, and you can also use audio from your GarageBand and iTunes libraries
In addition, you can add background music to your movie using any audio clip. Background music plays along with the audio recorded with your video, and any sound effects or voiceovers you add to your movie. Audio placed as background music is edited separately in its own area of the timeline and is unaffected by edits made to other clips in your movie.
HideAdd a sound clip
In the Content Library section of the sidebar, select iTunes , Sound Effects , or GarageBand .
The contents of the selected item appear as a list in the browser. To filter what appears, you can choose a category from the pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the browser.
In the browser, select an audio clip you want to add to your movie.
Do one of the following:
To add the entire audio clip: Drag the clip from the list to the timeline.
To add part of the audio clip: Select a range in the waveform at the top of the browser, and drag the range to the timeline.
The audio clip is now attached to a clip in the timeline. If you move the clip the audio clip is attached to, the audio clip moves as well.
When you want to add only the audio from a video clip in your iTunes library, drag the clip or range below the timeline and connect it to another clip, or drag the clip or range to the background music well
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
I seem to have lost most of my 9000 photos when I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3. iPhoto won't work now and says it needs an upgrade not available in the UK. Only a few of the 9000 photos appear on Photos! HELP?
Move the incompatible iPhoto version to the Trash, before you try to reinstall from the AppStore, but don't empty the Trash.
update as described here:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore Purchases tab with ⌘R, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it. -
I keep many lists and things in the NOTES I share with my iPad and iPhone however, since I upgraded to Yosemite, I continue to "lose" them. I contacted someone who spent quite a bit of time to relocate them. Supposedly they were stored in iCloud and they were. Then a few days later they disappeared. They were found again but also disappeared soon after that. It's frustrating because I had about 14 different lists backed up (I thought) but I'm down to 1. The interesting thing is that when I first turn on NOTES on a device, all NOTES show up then immediately disappear again. I would like to 1. find them again and 2. understand what I need to do to keep them there!
Before you try any of the steps below please make a backup copy of your file(s) as explained in steps #1 - #5 below. Be sure you always make a backup copy of any system files before you make any changes.
I've found a few posts on Apple support community which you should try to follow and see if they help resolve your issue:
Notes deleted after Yosemite installation ?
Re: Upon upgrading to Mountain Lion, only "notes" that were on iCloud got transferred into the new "Notes" app
Unfortunately none of the solutions worked for me, If none of these work for you don't worry I've got something else for you to try!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT use iCloud, Time Machine, or any other email, program, or account to backup my Notes. If you have any of those options enabled or available I can not promise this will work for you. I upgraded from Maverick to Yosemite and immediately had this problem with my missing notes
I was able to do the following to manually find and copy/paste my notes back into the Notes app:
From your Mac Desktop click "Go" on the top menu bar
From the "Go" drop down menu, select "Go to Folder..."
In the window that appears enter the below file path; make sure to replace "USERNAME" with your Mac user account name: //Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
Find the file named "NotesV3.storedata"
Copy this file and save it into another folder (on your desktop works fine)
Rename this file to "NotesV3.storedata.html" (if prompted, allow or accept the change to HTML)
Double click the file and it should open in your default internet browser.
Look through the text carefully, among the 'junk' text you should start to see the text from your lost notes.
Copy whatever text you want to safe from this file and paste the text into Notes app on your Mac
It is tedious but it is the only way I could restore my notes, hopefully it helps you too! - Please leave feedback in this thread about what worked for you.
I did call apple, reported this issue, and I'm expecting a call in 1.5 weeks from a senior tech about what engineering has found. -
Help! I lost my old projects when I upgraded to Yosemite.
Help! I lost my old projects, and old videos that were stored on imovie when I upgraded to Yosemite. It asked if I wanted to upgrade my projects, etc., but now they are not showing up even after I clicked that option!!! Please help! Thank you!
Hello Andrew 97,
The steps below may help get your events and projects to appear in iMovie.
Verify that the latest iMovie update is installed.
Open the Mac App Store.
Click the Updates tab.
Click Update All or the Update button that appears next to iMovie.
After verifying that you have the latest version of iMovie, you can update your projects and events by following these steps.
In the Finder, click the Go menu and choose Home.
Open the Movies folder.
In the iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders, you’ll find a file named “UpdatedtoiMovie10.” Move this file to the Trash from both folders.
Open iMovie.
Choose File > Update Projects and Events.
iMovie will update your projects and events. You can repeat these steps for projects and events stored on external drives.

Upgraded to Yosemite and lost ability to send email!
UPGRADED TO YOSEMITE AND LOST ABILITY TO SEND EMAIL!!
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities 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.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Please use mixed case in your posts. CAPs is shouting and is poor netiquette. -
