Verify Clean Install of Yosemite and DiskUtil output
My iMac didn’t recover from the latest OS X Yosemite update after the reload.
After doing a “command R” I noticed DiskUtilty was only showing the SSD part of my hard drive and to cut a long story short after messing around all week (wiping hard drive in diskutility/booting Yosemite from USB stick etc) I seem to have my full 3TB hard drive back with a fresh version of Yosemite on it.
I’ve been at this position before though and when I try and restore my iMac settings from TimeCapsule, it hangs about an hour into it and the Fusion drive needs to be repaired again.
Before trying to restore my time capsule backup again I’d like to know the current setup (clean install of Yosemite) is how it should be.
What I’d like know is what output I should expect to see from “distil list” from the Terminal?
Should it look like the below?

Any other suggestions to check the disk/Yosemite install would be greatly appreciated.
Just trying to verify the current health of iMac before proceeding as I’m not experienced in OS X at all

How to do a clean install of yosemite (have Mavericks 10.9.5 now) and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?
Do a backup before doing anything.
If you want to make a clean install of Mountain Lion, boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart, use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair the disk and run Repair Permissions. Then erase the hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format using the Options button. Reinstall Yosemite. Restart normally and test. Use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to import what you want.

MBP 2012 still slow after clean install of Yosemite
Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me, I've done just about everything I can find online to get my MBP to work like it used to. After unsuccessful attempts at different workarounds, I decided to wipe everything perform a clean install of Yosemite.
Still no luck!! #nobueno
Problem description:
After clean install of Yosemite, my MacBook Pro (2012) continues to run at a snailspace. Very slow!

Feb 18, 2015, 10:03:37 AM Self test - passed
Feb 18, 2015, 09:55:07 AM /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/mbpluginhost_2015-02-18-095507_[redacted].crash1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
The test results are on the Clipboard.
Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

HT201475 how to do clean install of yosemite
how to do clean install of yosemite
Do a backup before doing anything.
If you want to make a clean install of Yosemite boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart, use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair the disk and run Repair Permissions. Then erase the hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format using the Options button. Reinstall Yosemite. Restart normally and test. Use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to import what you want.
Clean Install
I would download the installer and you can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program. You can then install from there.

Dec 18, 2014, 05:01:33 PM Self test - passedI did all the things you suggested & it is running much better! After that, in doing the permissions repair with Disk Utility there were some to repair initially, but in running again there were none to repair.
Font Book validate initially showed several fonts with major problems but after restoring fonts & doing the start up in Safe Mode & restarting, there were no major errors but still 9 with minor problems.
Are there additional things that I should now do?
Linc, I thank you soooooooo much!

In running Activity Monitor, under Real Memory kernel_task initially was 1.81 GB, then dropped to 430.4 MB but now when I open it was showing 1.28 GB but is up to 1.30 now. Maybe the following will help.

Clean Install Of Yosemite Is Stuck!!
I am trying to do a clean install of Yosemite into a 2011 Macbook Air via a thumb drive after erasing the hard drive but the installer gets stuck at 8 or 9 minutes left and does not move past that. I have left it overnight and it did not change. I have tried about 3 install attempts. I have used the thumb drive method before with Mavericks and it worked fine. The last item in the install log is :
376 Oct 22 07:11:26 Macbook-Air.local OSInstaller[414] PackageKit: Extracting File:///System/Installation/Packages/Essentials.pkg (destination=/Volumes/Macintosh HD/.OSInstallSandboxPath/Root, uid=0)
Any thoughts on how to get it to finish installing?Remove the Boot Camp partition only with Boot Camp Assistant, not with Disk Utility.
Install or Reinstall OS X 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 OS X: 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. -
After a clean install of Yosemite in iCloud remained links, which were opened in Safari on the Mavericks.
Please help remove old and obsolete references to iCloud for Safari.Hi leonie,
It looks like once my computer was subject to a clean install of OSX Mavericks, programs installed with iLife, i.e. iWeb, GarageBand. iPhoto, etc, were removed from my HD and cannot now be reinstalled.. I form the impression that they are not on the installation DVD's that shipped with my computer, and having examined the disks by placing them in my machine, there is no way I can tell whether that is correct, since there is no 'button' that allows me to look for their presence on the disks.
If you can shed any light on that conclusion, I'd be grateful for any advice you could offer. I guess it's not super imperitive that I have GarageBand '09, I can get by without it, but it would have been nice to have, and a couple of my songs use loops that were from GB '09, and these are now absent from the songs when played back in GB X. Of course, I cannot download the '09 version from the App store. Looks like Apple has me borked!
Thanks for your help, anyway, I'm always pleased to see your name here..
Regards, Ontradio.. -
Help with Clean Install of Yosemite
I am doing a clean install of Yosemite in hopes of resolving my many MacBook Pro issues. This has been recommended by Apple Support before installing a new hard drive which would be the next option.
My Macbook Pro is an early 2011, running Mavericks, 2.7 GHz Inel Core i7, OSX 10.9.5. 16 G B Ram, 500 GB Hard Drive with over half available.
I have Yosemite on a Bootable USB drive and a current back up on a separate external hard drive. The question I have is should I update to Yosemite first, do another back-up and then do the clean install or is this an unnecessary step?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

How do you have your data backed up? Time Machine or another method? If Time Machine, run it from the recovery partition and then install Yosemite. If you simply have data stored on the external HDD with no OSX, Install Yosemite and then transfer the user data.

Problems loading Time machine since clean install of Yosemite.
I have an IMAC 27"/2.8QC/2x2GB/1TB/5750/SD.
I recently tried to upgrade to Yosemite without success, I ended up taking my IMAC to my local Apple store and they ended up doing a clean install of Yosemite. When I came home I completed the install and plugged in my Time Machine to recover the historical date i.e. files/photos etc. Time machine is showing files going back to the 4th September and no further so far although it should be going back nearly four years, I am also unable to select any of the files/photos to restore. Any help would be appreciated.Time Machine in Yosemite must index all of the old backups on your backup drive before they will work correctly.
That process will take a long time....a very long time if you have backups going back 4 years.
With my Mac connected to a Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection, it took 2 days for Time Machine to index the old backups, and my backups only went back about a year. It might take a week for Time Machine to index all your old backups.....assuming you are using Ethernet.
If your Mac connects using wireless to your network, the indexing process will likely take 3-4 times longer.
You will know when the indexing is nearing completion when you can access your backups and go back 24-36 months to see them. -
How do I do a Clean install of Tiger and Classic?
My G4 came with Jaguar. OS 9 was part of the complete installation, that you could install or choose not to install. My computer has been having a lot of issues lately and I think that a clean install would be a good idea, especially, since I used an upgrade to install Panther and then installed Tiger on top of Panther. I want to install classic and Tiger. How do I do this properly? Thanks
I plan to back up my personal files and any
downloaded software I have.
Amazing that. You've told us that numerous times, but
you've failed to provide us with information on
HOW you're going to do this. That is, please
explain WHAT you're using for the backup and
WHERE you're planning on using to store the
backup.
All Power Macs come with the capability of burning CD's today. Mine can also burn DVD's, so backing up MY files is NOT a problem. I just can't clone my whole drive. Now, I'm not sure how this is pertinent in answering my question about how to properly do a clean install of Tiger and be able to install Classic. My son however, just told me he thinks that all I need to do is to clean-install Tiger. Then, insert the installation CD with classic on it that came with my computer. Find the invisible file, which is a disk image and drag the contents of the disk image to my computer. If anyone can tell me if this is correct, I would appreciate it. -
What is largest solid state drive I can install in MacBook Pro 8,2? I want to perform a clean install of Mavricks and dump my old hard drive.
If the bank account permits, I suggest getting a 1 TB SSD anyway. One cannot have too much storage.
Unless you are having issues with your current installation, a 'clean' install is not necessary. It would be more efficient to clone your current drive to the new SSD, test it, and then do the swap. The installation of Mavericks over Snow Leopard can be done either before or after the cloning process.

Just installed OS Yosemite, and now I can't open Illustrator CS6. Asks me to update my Java, but I check and my Java is up to date. Please help!
Some people have reported reinstalling the Apple 2014-001 Java update has helped.

I just clean installed my computer and after done my Photoshop Elements tells me Activation limit re
I clean install my computer many times, two times already just this year alone. My copy of Photoshop Elements 10 now tells me my Activation Limit has been reached, but I have only had Photoshop since 05-11-2012. I am always clean installing my computer and many times upgrading the hard drive, why are you only letting me reinstall two times? Do I have to go back to Costco and buy another copy of Photoshop? If so I guess I may be done with all things Adobe. Again, I am always clean installing my hard drive, at least once a year. This year twice so far because I just updated to Windows 8, but now this problem with Activation.

[email protected]Thank you so much. I thought I was asking a question to a real person in live chat, like customer service. I did not know it was going to be read by other people.
Do you think I will have to buy Photoshop Elements all over again?
Thanks again,

The advantages of a clean install of Yosemite.
I am just wondering if it would be better to do a clean install of Yosemite rather than installing the OS without first wiping the computer clean? What are the advantages to doing a clean install over installing Yosemite without wiping the computer clean before hand?
Thanks
DaveThere won't be any compatible processes left over from the previous installation (unless you put them back later). The same is true if you prepare your existing installation before upgrading it.
Make a backup first, whatever you choose to do. -
Clean install of Lion and Time Machine
I have done a clean install of Lion and re-installed all software.
Now I would like to continue backing up this new, clean computer to the same Time Machine I was using before the clean install, preserving previous backups.
Is there any way to do this? I don't want to loose all of the data backed up...will choosing the old Time Machine disk overwrite everyting?
I don't want to try anything until I'm sure.
Thanks,

How are you planning to put your data back? If you use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant, that should leave a "trail" for the next Time Machine backup to "associate" your "new" (erased) disk with the old backups.
If it doesn't, or if you use some other method to put your stuff back, you should be able to tell Time Machine to do it, per #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
