Yosemite is junk - DO NOT UPGRADE

My beloved Macbook has become like a Windows machine - memory leaks, freezes, weird pastel UI colors, my Canon Digital SLR will not mount, Bad move Apple. I am very ****** off. Test you stuff before you release it. How do we go back to Mavericks?

I reverted back to Mavericks on my MacBook Air, too, because of the Image Capture bug in Yosemite.
First, you need to back up your files, of course. Then make a Mavericks installation drive as per the following… http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html
Hope this works for you.

Iphoto is not upgrading

Ever since I updated my Macbook Pro to Yosemite, my Iphoto will not upgrade. There is a sign across my iphoto and then it tells me to upgrade. When I go on appstore and try to update it, it won't update. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't found any way for it to update. How can I fix this? Yosemite is extremely annoying me now! I can't update my iphoto nor my imovie. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Move the current iPhoto application to the Trash bin. Go to the App Store and try downloading iPhoto 9.6 again.
What version of iPhoto were you using prior to upgrading to Yosemite?

TIP: DO NOT UPGRADE TO OSX YOSEMITE!!!

If you are on a Mac (unfortunately I'm forced to use one at the office), do not, I repeat, do NOT "upgrade" to OSX Yosemite. Adobe still hasn't figured out the conflicts between EA and Yosemite. I've been fighting issues all day with lock ups, etc. If you want to keep your sanity, wait to upgrade the OS until Adobe issues a patch.
On a side note, I can't wait to get back to my PC at home. No issues there...

My user experience with Yosemite:
Both versions can be installed "side by side". I mean: Edge 4.0 and 5.0.1
The download page:

Acrobat 9 (from CS4) asking for serial again after OS-upgrade to Yosemite. New installation not possible

Hi all, I feel quite desperate at the moment.
My old CS4 ran perfectly. Now I upgraded my system to Mac OS Yosemite and the trouble began.
First, Acrobat no longer ran properly and asked me to start e.g. Photoshop. What I did. Photoshop and all other CS4 applications no more worked beause of some license issues. I finally fixed this by means of Adobe's tool. I had to re-enter the CS4-Serial and Photoshop, Indesign etc. worked again. Not did Acrobat Pro 9. This application asked me to re-enter the serial. What I did. The serial was not accepted. I tried a thousand times. Then I uninstalled Acrobad Pro 9 and tried to re-install this application from the original CD. This does not work: The setup screen of my CS4 "Design Premium" stopped three times with the grey screen reading "Preparing to install". Other attempts ended up in error messages about JAVA etc. - The DVD simply does not work anymore with the new OS.
Can anyone tell me what to do? My search over Adobe's support pages never led me to a valid contact form or anything of use for this problem.
Thank you in Advance

A point worth pointing out is that, although CS versions may have included installers for Acrobat they were not for direct use; often (who can remember CS4?) you MUST use the CS installer, which uses the Acrobat installer in a special way; CS licensing is not like Acrobat licensing and Acrobat does not take a CS number. Nevertheless, I'd still advise a restore and not upgrading your OS without being prepared to upgrade everything else. (And it's still very early, this is a very brave/risky thing even for CC licensees).

How do I uninstall Yosemite please ? Since I upgraded my 2011 MacBook Pro will not boot up

My 2011 MacBook Pro will not boot up following my upgrade to Yosemite. How do I uninstall or downgrade back to the previous version of OS please ?

You can't downgrade or uninstall unless you first erase the drive. Try the following:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main 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.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X 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.

Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.
Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
I hope this helps ...

I was using gimp fine for years with my osx 10 6 8 up until yesterday. Last night when I downloaded yosemite, gimp has not been working ever since. I clicked on the icon and it said that x11 wasn't compatible with yosemite and lead me to a link from apple support which said that I need to download xquartz for gimp to work.

Upgraded to CS5 running Yosemite (mac os 10.10), upgraded scanner Epson Perfection Photo 700, click on "import" and CS5 is not showing scanner dlick on "import" in photoshop

upgraded to CS5 running Yosemite (mac os 10.10), upgraded scanner Epson Perfection Photo 700 software--when i click on "import" CS5 is not showing scanner--what do i have to do to get it to recognize scanner?

Hi Gene,
Persistence pays off: so initially, CS5 was not recognizing my Epson Perfection Photo V700. I reloaded the Epson software twice and using the mac menu for printers and scanners tried to get it to operate. no dice. Finally, on the third try, I went to Finder to look under applications software, found the epson software and clicked on that, and finally got the Epson scan window to open. So now, even tho i can't open it from inside CS5, i can still get the image into CS5 easily by clicking on "open" and going to finder. (Still good to know about Vuescan tho.)
Aloha,
Temple

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now need to upgrade iPhoto. I have an Airport Time Capsule that I have not employed yet to backup all my (thousands of) photos. I know, I am a fool. That aside, will I lose my photos in the upgrade?

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite and now need to upgrade iPhoto. I have an Airport Time Capsule sitting on my desk that I have not yet employed to backup all my (thousands of) photos. I know, I am a fool. That aside, will I lose my photos in the upgrade? I am desperate to backup my photos and now wonder if I should revert back to my previous operating system. Help!

iPhoto Library is essentially a large datafile in which your photos are stored. iPhoto is an application you use to do things with the photos stored in the datafile. If you backup iPhoto Library then you have backed up all the photos stored in the library. It's iPhoto that links you to all those photos stored in iPhoto Library. All you need do is to copy iPhoto Library to a backup drive. If you are doing regular backups, then you are already making a copy of the iPhoto Library on the backup drive.

Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages?

Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages? Or has this feature been removed?

Agreed! This feature was very useful. If you find out how to turn it on, please let me know.
Apple, there is plenty of room in the window header all the way across on both sides of the word "Inbox". It's important to know many messages are in the Inbox. It provides a progress meter when you're cleaning out mail and striving for inbox zero.

Since upgrading to OS X yosemite my printer will not work.

Since upgrading to OS X Yosemite my printer will not work.

I found the solution in another thread. Thanks to frankglyn who posted it there.
I've just copied it here, as this seems to be the most active thread on this subject.
The solution (steps A to C) worked fine for me and others and should work for you as well, until Kodak will come with an updated driver. Then, you can revert the changes as also described below (steps 1 to 7)
A) in Spotlight Type Terminal and then press enter.
This should bring up the terminal window/program.
B) In the Terminal type sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
It will ask for your password.
C) After that type following: sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
After that if you are lucky the printer driver should start to work. (which it did in my case)
I hope this works out for you, if not then you can do following to revert the changes:
In case you want/have to revert the changes:
1) Open the terminal as usual (Spotlight type Terminal hit enter and wait for the terminal window to appear)
2) then type: cd /etc/cups
3) then type: sudo nano cups-files.conf
4) 'type in your password'
This brings up a command line editor which you can use to edit the file
5) Remove the last line which says Sandboxing Relaxed
6) press 'ctrl x'
And then confirm with y when being asked if you want to save the changes
7) after that type sudo launchctl start org.cups.cupsd

How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install. The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     98584 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.bom
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel       563 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     81657 Sep 29 17:13 com.apple.pkg.update.os.bash.lion.1.0.163-3.bom
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel       279 Sep 29 17:13 com.apple.pkg.update.os.bash.lion.1.0.163-3.plist
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     80653 Aug 12 13:34 com.apple.pkg.EPSON_USBPrintClassSL.bom
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel       472 Aug 12 13:34 com.apple.pkg.EPSON_USBPrintClassSL.plist

Yosemite "[Thunderbolt 2] disk not ejected properly" after sleep

Since installing Yosemite, when my Mac Pro comes out of sleep, I get a "Disk not ejected properly" for each disk drive attached by Thunderbolt 2. This all worked fine on Mavericks.
(I have a similar problem with my dual displays, which again worked fine on Mavericks - I've posted this on a different thread under Mac Pro).
The manual solution is to physically unplug the drives, but doing this more than 10 times a day is not impressing me.
Mac Pro 2014, OSX Yosemite 10.10.1, dual DELL U2713HM monitors, La Cie 2Bug Thunderbolt 2

Not sure how that helps Illaass - that thread is just another question with no answers. It might be an idea if you read the thread before suggesting it?
There is another thread that suggests a solution (link below), but I've attempted that fix with no success. I also get the "Scheduled Backup Failed" that is mentioned by others.
Re: Yosemite ejects external drives
Note that none of these issues happened before upgrading to Yosemite - everything was fine on Mavericks - and it appears as though Apple are keeping quiet on them.

Yosemite is a really bad upgrade

Since installing Yosemite my daughter thinks that I have a new game on the PC as the spinning beach ball appears to be a permanent feature.I truly wish I had not bothered

It's a shuffle.
iPods don't have an OSX installed.
Try here iPod shuffle
Next time try to start your own thread when your issue has nothing to do with that of the OP, and is considered laziness and a good way not to have your issues addressed. You now say that you are having issues with an iPod Shuffle and do not run Yosemite, yet you post in a thread with the title 'Yosemite Is A Really Bad Upgrade' where only one person answered the OP?
Try the link to the iPod Shuffle Forum as posted above.

IPhoto not upgrading

When Mavericks was released last year I tried upgrading iphoto to the latest version and it did not work. I have since tried a few times but it still didn't upgrade.
Now I have upgraded my OS to Yosemite and iPhoto will not work. I have tried the usual fixes with the app store i.d. Resuming iPhoto downloads etc and Nothing will work for me. So I am stuck with Yosemite and have no photos accessible through iPhoto.
There is a large library of photos and I need to access them. What can I do to rectify this as I tried all avenues I can think of.
I Think I may have some corrupted files in my version of iPhoto hense it hot upgrading but what can I do to resolve this?

I allowed the attempted upgrade to run overnight but the same thing is happening.
So i am currently running Mavericks and trying to upgrade from iPhoto 8.1.2. This upgrade does not happen in trying to get phono ready for Yosemite compatibility.
I just get these 2 screens and then iPhoto closes.
I have let it run for 12hours and there is no message and dialog on screen to let me know anything has happened.
