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.

  • Cannot update my iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

    27" iMac, 2.93 GHz i7 processor, Yosemite 10.10.  Can no longer use iPhoto after upgrading.  I get a message that this update is not available for this Apple ID because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.  How do I fix this?

    You must be logged in using the Apple ID used to purchase iPhoto or to set up your Mac - If you are logged in with the Apple ID that was used to purchase iPhoto or to set up the computer if it came preinstalled then quit iPhoto, backup your iPhoto library  and drag the iphoto application to the trash (do not empty the trash yet) and then go to the App store and install iPhoto
    If this does not allow you to upgrade then you need to contact App store support  - link i son the right of the app store window

  • Mac partition (hfs+) not visible in Windows after upgrade to Yosemite

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with two partitions, Windows 8.1 (Bootcamp) en Mac OS X. I upgraded Mac OS from 10.9 to 10.10 (Yosemite) recently.
    After upgrading, the Mac partition in Windows is no longer visible. I need it to be visible, as I have files on that partition which I need to access in Windows.
    I've checked the format of the Mac partition, which is HSF+. I have installed the latest Bootcamp driver (5.1.5621).
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

    Hi,
    I’m having an issue with Illustrator CS5 since I upgraded to Yosemite. When I go to the character window to select fonts they are not displaying the names correctly or to put it a better way they’re not showing at all!
    When I scroll up and down the list only the highlighted (where the cursor is positioned) font name and preview will show up as expected, oh and a few random font names. (please see attached image, although strangely the highlighted area is showing blank on this screen grab)
    I had to update the Java in order to get this version of illustrator working on Yosemite, could there be a connection to that?
    Thanks in advance.

    Adgatez,
    I believe this may solve it:
    Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.
    It was first presented in this post #15 by TheUlser:
    https://forums.adobe.com/message/6854594#6854594
    It may also depend on the monitor, as it appears from post #29 by Loncar in the same thread.

  • Cannot log into iCloud after upgrading to Yosemite

    I have 3 iCloud accounts on my mac for various family members but after the upgrade I cannot get the iCloud account to log in. It just keeps asking for the password.

  • I cannot edit in iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite.

    After uploading my photos into iPhoto I can view my photos but when I go to edit I get a black page. I have tried all of the suggestions listed in other forums to no avail.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.

    After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.  I had created a book to print (before upgrade) but, after the upgrade the book can't be created as I get the message that images can't be found. However, if I search for the filename I can find the image. I tried repairing library as per support instructions but it hasn't helped. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

    Do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard

    I bought a new iMac Oct 26. It contained Tiger, and included a disk for installing Leopard. I easily got the machine up and running using Tiger, but last night I attempted to install Leopard. When the installation was complete, I tried to get it running. A screen asking for my password came up. I keyed that in and hit logon. Back came the screen asking for the password. To make long story short, I tried everything I could last night, and then called Apple Support this morning. Took quite a while, but I was back in business this afternoon. The technician who helped me sent me the email copied below describing the solution. Perhaps it will help someone else? Romelle
    Hello from Apple!

    Mac OS X 10.5, iMac (Late 2007): Stuck in a "loop" at the login window after upgrading to Leopard
    Issue or symptom
    After installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard on a 20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer, you may not be able to log in at the login window. Your login name and password are apparently accepted, but after a blue screen appears for a few seconds, the login window reappears instead of your desktop.
    Products affected
    20-inch or 24-inch iMac (Late 2007) computer with 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processors
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Solution
    If Leopard is installed
    Start up from the Leopard Install DVD and perform an Archive and Install installation (and select Preserve Users and Network Settings).
    After the Archive and Install is complete, you should be able to successfully log in. Use Software Update to install any other updates.
    Important: Install the iMac Software Update 1.3 for Leopard after the Archive and Install is complete.
    If Leopard is not yet installed
    If you have not yet installed Leopard on your 20-inch or 24-inch aluminum iMac computer with a 2.0, 2.4, or 2.8 GHz processor running Mac OS X 10.4.x, but previously installed the iMac Software Update 1.2, you should install the iMac Software Update 1.2.1 (Tiger) or later, before installing Leopard.
    Thank you,
    Apple

    If Leopard came pre-installed and this is a new machne, then the disks that came in the box should let you archive install preserving users & network settings. The disks have a grey label, and if you get more than one use disk #1 for this procedure.
    Hold down the "option" (also known as "alt" on the new keyboards) key when starting up with disk #1 in the optical drive. Select the install disk icon on the grey screen and click the arrow. Then when you get to the "select destination pane, click the options button after selecting your hard drive as the destination. In options A& I preserving should be checked by default, if not, select them. Click "ok" to dismiss the options pane, then run the installation.
    If this does not work for you, call apple support. They want everything to work. Be patient, they are real busy these days.

  • Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8.  Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software.  Can you help?

    Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8.  Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software.  Can you help?

    How did you buy it online? Did you buy a registration number from the Apple Store?
    Then you can download the Trial version from this link:
        Aperture 3.1 Trial 
    and run Software Update immediately after installing.
    Go to the Applications folder and delete Aperture.
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to  OS 10.6.8. 
    But what exactly is the error you get, when you try to launch Aperture? Maybe you need to do more than updating.

    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.
